The long-running, free-to-play Star Trek Online has expanded once more - and this time it's the new Both Worlds season that comes to Xbox and PlayStation.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Fans are getting their Janeway fix with the latest update. Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of online games, and Cryptic Studios announced Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager will make her Star Trek Online debut in Shadow’s Advance.
Was never really a big Voyager fan I did watch it they reused a lot of the same story arcs time travel, slip stream, the borg, thrown closer to home. Best aliens I like that were introduced in the series were the Hirogen would love to see the Klingons take them on in a war.
There has never been a good Star Trek game unfortunately. I think that the original Bioware team could have done a perfect job, based on what they did with Mass Effect.
The show doesn't really lend itself to gameplay that well, or at least not in an obvious way. Very story focused, obviously, with less emphasis on action. Would be cool if a talented dev would figure something out something cool and interesting, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
The Star Trek community would expand exponentially if a great game came along.
Look I love some of the 16-bit offerings and I'm a huge fan of Star Trek (STD is trash) but to be real. Star Trek has never had a great game. STO is fine for what it is. MMO jank but fun. VR game is..jank but fun. 16-bit games are jank but fun. Star Trek isn't the best series to make a game out of. It would have to be something deliberate and slow but also very open. That's tough to do.
I still like the old point and click Star Trek 25th Anniversary on Steam I use to skip class and play it in the computer room lol. There is also a TNG point and click to but it's all right I use to rent TNG on the SNES all the time it was good but also a pain in the ass and if I remember the same game appeared on the Genesis. There is also a DS9 game on Genesis and it wasn't bad either. Bridge Commander VR was decent as for Star Trek online its not really my type of game. I know the NES Star Trek game I rented years ago when we rented a NES the game was boring so was Star Feet Academy on the SNES. Star Trek on Colecovision looked cool at the time but got very repetitive very fast If I remember right the game was done by Sega.
