It is far past time we got another *good* Trek game. Personally, I'd either vote for Wrath of Khan-Undiscovered Country era (spiffy red uniforms!) like the Klingon Academy game, or something set between TNG and DS9. Post DS9 there are no real antagonists to speak of (Borg defanged, treaty with Dominion, Cardassia in ruins, Romulans lost their homeworld, etc) and personally, the NuTrek universe just doesn't have enough to stand on, and so far has only provided standard sci-fi action material-neither adding much in the way of anything new or being particularly faithful to the various old series, just riding on action and nostalgia. For me at least,it is uninteresting as a game setting.
As for types of games, I think we are in dire need of a TNG/DS9 era rpg. I don't care if I can't play as a captain and get stuck doing away missions or something, it's high time we got one. Star Trek is one of the cornerstones of Sci-fi and it is a crying shame to see it neglected so much, particulalry of late. while many of the games are good, somethign like 95% of them focus on either space combat or are shooters of some sort.

I'm honestly shocked that Yahtzee considered this game worthy of even acknowledging. It's a movie-licensed video game coming out before the movie even does. Of COURSE it's going to be complete rubbish! This has basically been recognised fact for the last 20+ years!

+1 I thought he'd do Fire Emblem: Awakening, given that it's actually a good game for the 3DS.
How dare you make assumptions about my mother's cooking, Yahtzee!
Cracked up at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Wesley Crusher! Did not see that one coming!

Ooo, I had that one. I ended up with a free CD of it somehow. Not quite up to MOO standards, but considering how few 4X games there actually are it really wasn't all that bad.b.w.irenicus said:
As for the topic, I would pay good money to see The Rock as Wesley Crusher.
Captcha: Describe this logo with any words. Yeah, I have no idea what the fuck that's supposed to be. Pretty sure captchas are supposed to check if I'm human, not American.
Funny you'd call this the 'new Star wars game', cause when I first heard of Star Trek, I thought "What is that? Is it like Star Wars?"
Most Star Trek games are not very good. I like Star Trek Online after all the retooling that took place, but otherwise the games just don't fit the idea. Star Trek works well in the TV/even numbered movie market.
I disliked Wesley as a teenager and now I despise him as an adult. He wasn't satisfied with ruining TNG, now he just wont go away.Ken_J said:
Have you tried playing it with the emulator called DOSBox?CyborgGinger said:

When I saw the video title, I immediately thought of the Star Trek MMO. Anyway, this seems like a pretty standard movie tie-in game.
