In the onslaught of AAA previews we got to experience this Gamescom, it’s often hard to find experiences that come out of nowhere and surprise you with their gameplay elements.
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
I will certainly be buying this game, having grown up with Star Trek this is right up my alley, fire Phasers, Aye Aye captain.
Same here, multiplayer VR & Co-op experience base group gaming reminds me of SFB..that's Starfleet battles also in the old FASA RPG game startrek combat simulator.. Both great board / miniature's games..
This sounds like the same feel to it...every person has a position with the ships command deck..of course...turning to your Vulkan science officer and getting the response Fascinating... Lol
Though I could imagine Ubisoft making ID this goes well Klingon and Romulan bridge crew games what would really be awesome is if they did a group blind bridge crew space ship combat simulator fight at a convention between two bridge crews..each in a different room ..so it's like blind scale your bridge crews are in one physical room while the other bridge crew are in another .
So you cannot hear what each bridge crew are doing...in the ship combat..movement of the ship..etc
