The Globe and Mail: "I tried to like the game, both because I’m something of a fan of the series and out of patriotism for London, Ont.-based developer Digital Extremes. It’s evident that some serious effort went into parts of Star Trek, but some of the key elements – like how the game looks and plays – got short shrift. At best it’s a mess that looks and feels dated, and at worst it is frustrating and unplayable."
A new Star Trek PC and console game with a story-driven focus is in development at Jumpgate subsidiary gameXcite.
Oh, f$%&! They better not mess this up. Trek is miles better than any other Sci-fi franchise.
I agree, at the same time no one can seem to make a decent StarTrek game.
I'm with you ... they better not fk this up
Keep up the good work!
They listened and made a physical version of Star Trek Resurgence, which I've pre-ordered, and I hope they make this new game both offline friendly and physical as well!
Immediate reaction - excited for new story driven Star Trek game.
Then I go and check GameXcite's website and see that the only thing they have released are a few Asterix games.
Set expectation to low
An old text-only strategy game remade with the graphics of the point-and-click adventure. The new version is now fully playable with a mouse only (also touch screen on Android tablets), but also with a keyboard only. You can also play with a controller by mapping cursor keys and Enter on the correct key.
This is very cool. I played many versions of Super Star Trek, some text based and some with rudimentary graphics. Back in the day, you’d get games like this off a floppy disk from a friend. I also played the 25th Anniversary Star Trek game. Cool to see a melding of the two.
Super Star Trek 25th is a remake / conversion of the strategy game Super Star Trek, written by Bob Leedom and David Ahl and published in the book BASIC Computer Games in 1978, mixed with the graphics of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and the voices from ST The Original Series
The trailers made it look like an action game ala Mass Effect
Ouch...
Seriously..why do devs even try with Movie tie in games?
Well that sucks. I really don't think there will ever be another decent movie tie in game...I think they've been working on this game for 2 or 3 years..
If someone does a Star Wars game it probably needs to be an RPG type game, but I'm not sure about leveling. There needs to be Space combat not on rails, which I guess you could level up the enterprise. There needs to be dialogue in the realm of what Bioware can do. Say the wrong things to the Romulans and war can actually break out, things like that.
A good game is doable, but it would take alot of dedication.
If your a fan of JJ Abrams reboot Star Trek you'll love the game ! It's not Bioshock quality but its pretty good Looking game and fun , sure there some werid bugs but I'm having fun with it till into darkness hits May 15th ! I got early screening tickets , ya I'm a HAGE fan of this reboot
