Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes: "Resident Evil 5 was and still remains to be one my favorite games of all time. Sure, it has its critics, but the co-op experience in my opinion has been unmatched, and even with a computer player controlling Sheva, I still had a fantastic time. Why am I comparing that game to something like Star Trek? Well, Star Trek has been promoted as a co-op driven adventure in space, where players take control of Kirk and Spock with a brand new storyline in tow. Maybe it was my own expectations here, but I kind of thought of this release as Resident Evil 5 in space. Digital Extremes have been known for putting out some decent romps on consoles before, and there was a lot of reason to be hyped for this game - licensed or not. Does this game live long and prosper, or should it be fed to the Gorn? "
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
such a pitty i was actually looking forward to playing this game.
meh not fussed by reviews will still pick it up when it's cheaper,
I rented this on gamefly, and it was back in the mail the next day. It is boo boo. I had high hopes for it.
To say Tesco who are normally pretty cheap for launch games, are selling this for £50, it's borderline criminal the game is shocking
