GodisaGeek: "It seems that the UK game buying public has spoken: Dead Island Riptide was the most popular game released last week, because as per usual, the best selling new game has taken the top spot in the UK charts.
Outselling Star Trek (3rd place), Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (doesn’t make the top 40), and the long awaited (in some cases) re-release of cult classic Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cut (27th place), publisher Deep Silver will be pretty happy."
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
That,is how you know the majority is casuals buying,this awful game like the first one they should by far cry 3 instead.
Good for the UK people, rewarding another crappy game.
Wasn't DmC number one on the UK charts as well? Guess being on top over there doesn't account for much.
Good for them glad they buy whatever games they want over there XD. I got it myself its not to bad for mind numbing slaughtering of Zombies. Sure it has some problems but it is a pretty decent game. Playing alone is not so much fun but when you get friends together it can be very entertaining.
@StraightPath and Statix
A lot of people have found this game to be really fun to play so get over yourselves its not like people are forcing you to come in here and talk about the game.
nice. i will get this game.
after the controversial Defiance reviews i no longer trust some reviewers opinion. defiance is a fantastic game, so maybe dead island riptide is great, too.
I really enjoyed the first DI, I got it on release day and I have to say, it was like playing Borderlands, but with zombies and mainly melee weapons. It was quite heart pounding in some parts, outside was fine because it was bright and you could easily outrun anything pretty quickly, but inside buildings was weird. Just being isolated in narrow corridors, etc.
I didn't get DI:R though, it's on my list to get at some point, but I just have been busy with other games. I bought Deus Ex:HR a few weeks ago and have been concentrating on that. I've put a lot of hours into it so far, along with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and a bit of Monopoly Streets, I just didn't see the point in buying another game to put these games on hold.
I will get it eventually, it will probably drop in price by the time I do decide to get it.
