Commandos-Like Stargate: Timekeepers - real-time tactics game from Slitherine

[Kruno]

I was hoping for a shooter or better yet, an RPG!

Will the game have RPG elements?

I hope they aren't just trying to ape Death Loop. That won't end well.

When SG-1 steps through the gate to P2X-555, a solar flare sends SG-1 back in time. They meet a young General Hammond, then a lieutenant, who helps them due to a note ("Help them", plus dates of what Carter figures out must be solar flares). They find the Stargate of 1969 and activate it during another solar flare, returning home.

[Episode 72, "Window of Opportunity"]
After an encounter with an Ancient time device on P4X-639, O'Neill and Teal'c get trapped in a time loop that only they know about.

Hm, I must have missed those episodes when it aired in Germany. On the other hand I should not have been be surprised; pretty much any long running sci-fi series features time travel at some point. But still a strange choice for the game when it made up just a tiny fraction of the content of Stargate.

Window of Opportunity is one of the most enjoyable ever takes on the Groundhog Day formula, It's probably my favorite episode of the show.

The episode about the time loop was a fan favorite IIRC.

Also season 8 two part finale, "Moebius"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moebius_(Stargate_SG-1)

"Moebius" is about the discovery of a Zero Point Module (ZPM) by SG-1, the only problem is that it was taken by Ra after the Earth revolt more than five thousand years ago. The team decides to travel back in time to get the ZPM and leave without changing history (based on the fact that Ra and company were most likely unaware of the ZPM's purpose), but they are unable to travel back to present time so they record a video for the United States government to find. In the alternate timeline, the government find the tape and subsequently the Stargate in Antarctica and decide to establish the Stargate Program but not to restore the original timeline.

and one of the movies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate:_Continuum

The film is a time-travel adventure in which Ba'al travels back to 1939 to create an alternate timeline in which Earth never establishes their Stargate Program, and to take control of the Goa'uld Empire. The only people to remember the truth, the SG-1 team attempts to reinstate the original timeline.

And Season 4 Episode 16, 2010, Stargate Atlantis Season 1 Episode 15. I'm probably still missing some. They may have overused this particular plot device some.

 

[Kruno]

My favourite episode ever!

 

[Luka-boy]

I would have loved if this game featured SG-13 or at least Dixon considering it's set at the end of season 7. I loved those few appeareances by Adam Baldwin and "Heroes" 1 & 2 are some of my favourite Stargate episodes.

 

[whocares]

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Adam Baldwin's acting career is shot due to being outspokenly right-wing. Shame because he's a great actor.

Adam Baldwin's acting career is shot due to being outspokenly right-wing. Shame because he's a great actor.

If he changes his first name, he can steal Alec's career once he's in prison. With his great acting skills, nobody will even notice the swap...

 

[Jarpie]

Adam Baldwin was very good in "dumb but fun" The Last Ship, one of the rare modern shows which was "MURRICA HURRAH!" type of stuff, which was actually kinda refreshing.

Like a prequel, time travel allows a spin-off property to be ignored with regards to franchise planning and development. It's a lazy, but popular, approach.

Doubly-so with Stargate if they are faithful to the franchise, since those episodes were always written with the intent of a "closed loop" approach to avoid paradoxes. (For example, as part of returning to their own time they are careful not to erase the conditions that led them to go back in time in the first place.)

Looks pretty janky. Reminds me of that old Star Trek Hidden Evil game back in the day. Which isn't really a complement.

That said, it could be worse. I didn't watch the whole thing, but I didn't see any pink-haired stronk women.

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I'm a big fan of Stargate, but this was a snooze.

Where are the personalities? Where's the humor?

Go ahead, reveal some of the story and characters, dude. No one cares about a modern Commandos gameplay ripoff in and of itself.

 

[Zombra]

What the hell, I just heard about this.

 

[Axioms]

I was actually unaware of the "commandos-like" flair when I mentioned this game in the other thread.

Now I see it at the top of both threads.

In any case, Im surprised people care about the stealth aspect so much. It isn't *that* significant.

Also I see so many people saying no one is making anything like the Shadow Tactics games and yet here is a semi-major similar title. Maybe the "vibe" is different or something?
