Hot on the heels of last week’s February 10 release date announcement, Firesky / Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment have launched preorders for Stargate: Resistance. The third-person online shooter will be the Stargate franchise’s first video game since the original tie-ins to the 1994 movie.
Resistance costs $19.95 in the U.S., £12.95 U.K., and 14,95 € in the EU. It is a PC-only release.
Preorder the game now at Direct2Drive.com, where you can download it on February 10 and start playing immediately! The site is also showcasing this brand new trailer for the game, with some great-looking game play footage:
Unlike with MMOs, Stargate: Resistance carries no monthly subscription fee to continue online play.
Stargate: Resistance lets you create a character in one of six classes, joining an online battle between Earth (represented by Stargate Command) and the Goa’uld for control of the galaxy. Learn more about the game in GateWorld’s Video Games section, and be sure to check out our interview with the game’s developers to answer many of your questions.
Cheyenne’s second Stargate release, Stargate Worlds, is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. It is still in development.

This looks a little disappointing to be honest. Why ONLY P90s and a sniper rifle never used in the show? Where are the other guns like the M4 w/ grenade launcher and G36 that have been popular in the show as well?
I played the beta and was extremely disappointed. I’ve seen fan-made modifications (mods) of other games do way better than this one. I might buy it down the road, but for now there are several games out there that are better.
@steelbox … yes this game will be out on Steam. D2D just has the exclusive pre-order rights to the game. So Feb 10 and on-ward you can get it from steam.
@Desertfox2020 with many games based off of a tv show or movie they are not restricted by the weapons used in the show or movie. For instance, SG12 could have used that sniper regularily and we didn’t see it. But anyways, they just needed a sniper to balance out the game.
@hithere the iris isn’t active because then why would the SGC ever lower it? You know who is coming through the gate in the game. Its the enemy lol.
@James Betts JR, the game will only initially be released for PC, but they are open to releasing it on PS3 and 360 later if sales are good enough, and if the demand is there. Also, this game will only be available as download. You can pre-order it at Direct2Drive.com and on Feb 10 you can get it on Steam and on the Firesky website.
@Gaddorm this game has nothing to do with Unreal Tournament except for the Unreal Engine 3 which is a computer engine that has been used to create dozens of games. And this game is much more than a mod. If you are referring the stress test held last weekend, that was not the complete game, it was a test run to see how the servers operate and if any features need fixed. I suggest watching the SGR videos on youtube to get a real feel for the game.
@rview … I can half answer that. The site says 8GB max, but last weekend they had a test run of the game with one map and it was 1.1gb, so I would say the full game will be around 2.2 but definitely not biger than your limit.
Not buying… I’m not giving CME a dime… ever. They burned that bridge long ago. I don’t care if they release a ‘Game of the Year’ they’ll never see anything from me. =P

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
Yes they are using the “Unreal Engine” but that doesn’t make it a MOD, they didn’t start with UnrealT and make a game, they pay 10,000$ a year to licence that engine, that is far more than a simple FPS, it is an 3D Engine that has brought more games to the table than apparently most people realise. These are a top-notch company, and for this product there was no BETA, except for in Internal one, unless your talking about Stargate Worlds, which is not that same game. i really hate uninformed people and liars that try to talk down a game because of their person gripe and try to talk others out of play what is possible a great game! Support Stargate in ALL it forms if you want to continue seeing it as a franchise that produces things. if this game doesn’t do well, there will probably be NO SGW, and dont let other’s doom Stargate by posting comment like the one Quoted above!
Peace
