Stargate is one of my favorite science fiction franchises. I would like to know will we ever one day get a good Stargate game? I know we have a mobile game out right now. There was going to be a MMORPG game Stargate Worlds. We did have a 3rd person FPS game Resistance. I would like to know from you guys will we ever have a good Stargate game for PC or Consoles? Also, what type of game would you like to see?
Will we ever get a good Stargate game?

Bioware style RPG set after SG1, players can be a human soldier, a free Jaffa, or a minor Goa'uld on the run from justice with the option to assemble parties of races and roles from throughout the show. Each race would have certain unique abilities- humans would have the most equipment options, Jaffa would have superior strength and health regeneration, and Goa'uld would be able to use unique gear unavailable to other races.
All alignments and paths would be open to all characters, so if your deposed system lord feels bad about centuries of dictatorship, you can team up with those you once enslaved to fight for freedom, while an SG trooper could hole up in some remote world and go all Colonel Kurtz if that's what you want. Enemies would include extraterrestrial criminals, Goa'uld nobles, Wraiths, and other baddies from the show, with perhaps some new ones thrown in as well.

there are a few mods you could look into for games like sins of a solar empire http://www.moddb.com/mods/stargate-invasion/reviews I haven't played it so I cant speak to its quality but it might be what your looking for. As for your main question? No we will probably not see a stargate game any time soon
what ever happened to the mmorpg?
anyway stargate is perfect as either a shooter or space combat sim, you could spin atlantis or go off world for a RTS but the fact is there just isn't enough interest in the franchise for people to support it. maybe after the reboot :/

Development died out. From what little I've seen that was probably for the better.lechat said:
OT: The idea was pretty popular with fans of Gate who also liked the X-com reboot, but unfortunately the game is a nightmare to mod so none ever materialized. That gameplay style seems to fit with the series perfectly: 4-6 man teams operating out of a base. Just repaint the base and change the random events for random incoming wormholes and you're already half way to a game.
While I don't mean to piss on anyone's dreams, I'm personally a bit leery about games based on existing IP from other media, as I think it raises all kinds of expectations and dramatic conventions. The only way I can really see it working is in the telltale games interactive story sense (or some other format which very, very closely models the structure of a TV show).
I remember thinking in the past that Stargate would make a good setting for a squad level tactical game along the lines of XCom or Wasteland 2, but actually I think an original science fiction setting which borrowed elements from Stargate would be better. I think you'd risk losing something by boiling the Stargate "experience" down to simple combat or gameplay mechanics.
