Mav Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 According to the article the game is an action-strategy hybrid title for both the PC and Xbox 360 and will actually span the entire Star Trek timeline, from Enterprise to the original series to the Next Gen-DS9-Voyager timeframes... A few things I will say is that it's been a long time coming. Like I said before, traditional ST single player/multi player games have returned - and before STO ships like I also said. And no, just because it was announced in this issue, doesn't mean development just started. As for bugs, well, different publisher, and much more stringent requirements for Xbox 360. And as for graphics, once you see the screenshots and this thing in motion, you will be blown away. from: http://www.gamecloud.com/article.php?article_id=3049 Sounds great. I wonder if it will be released before the highly anticipated mmorpg Star Trek: Online? I do think they need something new, not just another FPS or RTS. A hybrid FPS/RTS like Natural Selection or Savage would be awesome. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Wow - this sounds really cool. I really like the idea of it spanning all of the Star Trek series's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I hope the ability of the game creators is superior to that of the articulation of like I said, the article writer. ;) I haven't actually ever bought any Star Trek games or even played any but I think you have to be cautious with console crossovers... although, as it's the x-box 360 perhaps it won't be as poor as some of the x-box/pc crossovers of the past. Sounds like it's early days anyway - so really passing comment seems pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratzin Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well yeah, the game could be good, or not. its probably the same thing with sex games, they think the subject (star trek in this case) is good enough for people to buy it, so the gameplay sucks and for ppl who dont like al the star trek series it wont be good to, because i dont think there will be a full scale game for all the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodlust022 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Theres a 6 page article in the Feb issue of Game Informer. Its looks really nice and the guys making it are Trek fans. Hopefully they'll take make the effort to put out a good game instead of just slapping the Star Trek name on a crappy game to make a buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Theres a 6 page article in the Feb issue of Game Informer. Its looks really nice and the guys making it are Trek fans. So there are some pictures of concept art or something? It was just announced so I doubt they are even in a Alpha of any sort, but it is possible I guess.

It may have just been announced but its been in development a while. I'm sure you can find some pictures on various game sites or just go to an EB Games or Gamestop to buy (or read) the magazine.

bbbb Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Star Trek games typically fail in the short and long terms. We are NOT looking for another RTS or FPS, EF and Armada have filled that gap. If they make another ST game they better make sure it is COMPLETE from beginning of the Trek universe (ENT), including the ST movies (because the Connie refit is my favorite ship!), through all the various series and timelines. This is a VERY BIG undertaking that should not become just another Trek title like Starship Creator. If you want us to be blown away by this game, make it GOOD! We should be able to make add-on levels EASILY, like in Jedi Knight. These guys should really take a long look at the superior STAR WARS games and research why they were so much better than the old Star Trek games. I still play TIE Fighter, Jedi Knight, Rebellion and Battlefront from time to time. I don't play Armada, EF or even Bridge Commander much anymore.

Tenebrae Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 One might argue that the nature of the Star Wars universe lends itself better to games. I suppose to be glib - Star Wars is just a bigger universe, with more possibilities and less burdened by backstory and techobabble. Plus you have the far more evocative good vs. evil type story line as personified in the Force and Rebels vs Empire and let's face it, Star Trek doesn't have anything as remotely cool as ISDs or Jedi. I suppose there is just some indefinable X type quality of cool in the Star Wars universe that is generally lacking in Star Trek. After all "Punch it, Chewie!" will always be better than "Mr. Data - warp one, engage!" At least in mine eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anywhat420 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 B) After reading the wold artical I believe that they have a great start the question is now can they follow up and make this a great xbox 360 game. And alot of people are correct there have not been that many great star trek games vs. star wars titles. But it's time for a realy good star trek game. As for the release date in the mag they gave a Sept. 2006 release date where ST online has once agin been pushed back to early 2007. I just hope that they are not rushing this out to hide the fact that st online is running into troubles. I also believe that they should all pick up a controller and play a few star wars games and see what keep pleople playing these games 1,2,4,7 years down the road.
