It's amazing that there hasn't been some type of open world, RPG set in the Star Trek universe.

Everything a designer, developer needs is laid out before them with decades worth of material to draw from to put into a game.

Fans tried to make something and they got C&D'd. Now we'll probably get some gatcha mobile trash.

RainOfTerror1816d ago

it says "gaming" so for all we know that's just a slot machine in Las Vegas.

Alexious1816d ago

Yeah right, Star Trek slot machines

RainOfTerror1816d ago

they exist you know, Star Trek slot machines and pinball machines :) Don't get me wrong, I want a REAL Star Trek open world RPG game, but the "gaming" term they used is so vague that it could mean a hidden object game for mobile :)

ccgr1816d ago

Hope both the show and games are good

Godmars2901816d ago

The show's headed for its third year.

And frankly, being behind a streaming paywall, is said to be a social message train-wreck that overly focuses on one character.

I only watched the first episode when it was on air, dont remember anything bad but i already have enough of a backlog so if its worth watching ill hopefully watch it when its off the service, but The Orville is definitely worth checking out even with the cheesy cgi( it is inspired by classic Star Trek), it might seem like a parody but it is its own show and has characters with a deep background that makes them believable even with their cheap costumes.

It goes to show that you dont need a big budget like Game of Thrones or having the show littered with popular actors to make a good show.

Godmars2901816d ago

Only Orville is littered with popular actors. Many from the newer Trek shows.

As for Discovery, hope you find enjoyment in it for putting effort into watching it. Already said what what I think of the few episodes I've caught, and really, hate what the arguments around it have done to the fandom far more than I could ever hate the show.

Would love a well crafted Star Trek game - but only if it was based on the original Cannon Trek not the utterly crap nu-Trek that CBS is currently trying to peddle.

Felix3131816d ago

Nope it's all crap nu-Trek as its a joint venture between CBS and Secret Hideout (JJ ABrahms/Alex Kurtzman), RIP good Trek :(

Yes yes I'm down to play this so badly.

anast201d ago

Oh, f$%&! They better not mess this up. Trek is miles better than any other Sci-fi franchise.

JackBNimble201d ago

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

Solitariussaint201d ago

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!

Icey7201d ago

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

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.

This fan remake of a Star Trek text game from 1978 is way better than it has any right to be

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
