Ive always thouight stargate would make a great Stratagy-fps/Management game

You have two parts, the SGC where you manage your finance, SG teams & where they go and what they do there, personal, weapons and gadgets, base building. I guess kind of like "evil genius" style but better :)

And offworld where you control the team directly, where you have a map (which could be generated from a UAV probe sent thru the gate earlier in the SGC mode, of course if you have the finance and equipment to send it) and would then explore and see if theres anything of value (tech wise) or do your assigned mission (Blowing up gould (sp?) stuff, infiltrating a base, planting bombs on mother ships etc.).
Maybe a flashpoint/ghost recon style approach would be good for this.

That sounds really good :) Sort of a cross between X-COM and Far Cry is the way I imagine that.

Why don't MGM hire a _good_ game developer with a proven track record to develop this game? They could spend 2 or 3 years developing it and then release it alongside a SG movie sometime in the future. It really is pocket change to somebody like MGM. But it'll give massive returns, especially if its good enough to earn a sequel game.

From what I've seen they should use the Crysis engine. That looks awesome. I don't think any engine developer does dense jungle better than Crytek do.
 
Another approach would be to just make a regular FPS game. The story could be completely different from SG-1. For example it could start off in the Season 1 era and the guy you are controlling could be apart of say a SG-6 team or something. He gets seperated from his squad through being captured and placed in that prison planet with no Stargate (so no easy means to escape.) The whole game could be chapter after chapter of this guy trying to get back to Earth... hijacking ships, dense jungle, desert, being recaptured. Maybe the game could be set during the episode when the whole Stargate network goes down - so as to provide a reason why he cannot simply dial Earth. Or maybe he dials Earth but it is engaged (plenty of episode timeframes that could be used for that reason.)

There's so many possibilities for a SG game. Could think about it all day :p
