No Bones about it - ha, I made a funny - J.J. Abrams' 2009 "Star Trek" reboot was quite the successful one, despite all the lens flare.
The movie reignited interest in the franchise, thanks to a great young cast and a story that actually made sense to fans. And with a sequel on the way next year, we can only wonder what next great step will happen within the video game realm. Well, thanks to Namco Bandai games, we know.
Set phasers to stunning.
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
It would b awesome to get a great star trek game. I was excited and i like digital extreme. I loved bioshock 2...alot. But it makes me nervous to know that they r making this game to coincide w the release of a movie. Here's to hoping it is actually good. And it's great news for consoles twice in 1 week, this and guild wars 2. Though, i can't imagine how GW2 will play on a console.
