"Despite the Star Trek franchise being considered very unpopular these days by the wider populous of the western world, I remain a fan. However, I remain a fan of the universe it’s set in, not so much of the TV shows. Taking that to mind, I was looking forward to a good new incarnation of the Star Trek world in the form of a game and basing it within the re-imagined Kirk era of the latest film made it seem like a perfect setting. It’s a shame then that I was a little disappointed with what I found at it’s small booth at Gamescom."
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
There is so much hype for this game but it sadly doesnt come out until 2013. I Hope it turns out to be a great Co-op affair.
I just hope in the game the engine room looks like an engine room of a star ship and not the inside of a beer factory. That was the stupidest thing about the Abrams movie..
