Cryptic Studios has temporarily slashed almost $60 on the Lifetime subscription prices for Star Trek Online and Champions Online, as both MMOs prepare for pretty important milestones.
Star Trek Online celebrates its first anniversary on February 2 while Champions Online goes free-to-play with its Free For All update on January 25.
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.
The big issue was it was hard to have any consistency as you knew they were not going to mysteriously get home and Villains had to be infrequent as they were going through their space and would in time be out of range of their influence. There was a plan for the ship to get home via a new technology early in a mid season and then have them go to and from the Delta Quadrant and Federation as the story needed but that was nixed. I think not showing what happened when they actually set foot on Earth was a huge issue. I am hoping Picard addresses it.
There were plans to show a few episodes of what happened to the Voyager crew once they came back to the Alpha Quadrant but that fell through. Voyager was ok but it's not TNG or DS9 those two series I liked Enterprise with Scott Bakula was good I could never get into the Captain Kirk Star Trek that was before my time.
DS9 was great. I have not been able to get into Discovery. I do not like the characters or stories. I do not expect Xmas lights but the fact that it is 10 years before Kirk yet the ship is so much more advanced even before they went into time has not worked for me. Mainly dislike the characters. Prodigy lost me at the first episode but Lower Decks has grown on me and I have liked Picard.
Great insight into players potentially holding out for Star Wars: The Old Republic. In this economy, people are guarding every penny to make sure they can play the games that will give them the most bang for their buck.
I wold love to play Star Trek online. I need to get my gaming pc!
Slashing prices ? The two games are frickin' going f2p to survive better and they are still trying lifetime subs ?
Dont get those it's a rip-off for two dissapointing games ...
I was looking forward to Champions Online going free until I played DCUO. Now compared to DCUO, Champions Online is unplayable. The game Just have no soul.
i thought the opposite, though it could be because i played it on a friends ps3, the graphics were terrible, it ran choppy and buggy,Champions online looks so much crisper and cleaner(though this is comparing a pc game to a console game) the character models looked weak, maybe on pc DCO looks better, I'll try it when it hits $20 or so on pc(should be a month or two)
