Setting
Stargate Worlds was based on the popular science fiction show Stargate SG-1. Original plans were to run it in sync with the show, but the show was cancelled in 2006, though at least three direct-to-DVD films were being made (one being based on Stargate Atlantis), continuing the storyline. The game was to take place in the earlier seasons of the show, before the Atlantis expedition and before the Ori story arc.
At release, the game would have revolved around the Milky Way Galaxy during in the storyline of the ongoing conflict between the Tau'ri and the Goa'uld. Playable races were shown to include Tau'ri, Goa'uld, Jaffa, and the Asgard. The combat was designed to incorporate some elements that are familiar to players of first person shooters, with players using an array of ranged weaponry of both earth and alien origin. Combat emphasized tactics to defeat opponents both AI and human controlled. The AI was being designed to provide players with a significant challenge, to the praise of many critics.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“Love is at the root of all healthy discipline. The desire to be loved is a powerful motivation for children to behave in ways that give their parents pleasure rather than displeasure. it may even be our own long-ago fear of losing our parents’ love that now sometimes makes us uneasy about setting and maintaining limits. We’re afraid we’ll lose the love of our children when we don’t let them have their way.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
