Star Trek |OT?| (the game)

Sooo, this comes out tomorrow...I'll wait for a price drop but I will get it eventually.

Any of you trekkies stoked? Kirk and Spock are in it.

I'll be back home for a week or two soon and I"ll probably rent it and play through it with my little brother. I watched those recent videos from IGN or wherever of it and it looked ok, nothing amazing but it's still Star Trek so I'll deal with the mediocrity.
 
I'm interested, a licensed game can be entertaining if it clones a big budget game the right way (Wolverine). I'm sure it'll be mediocre though, hopefully easy trophies

I'm more stoked than I expected. I just hope it does well enough to justify more Trek games, and a greater investment in them.
 
There's a Star Trek game coming out?

I saw a pre-order case at EB at the mall earlier today, that was the first I'd even heard of it.

Don't exactly have high expectations right now.
 
It seems like a perfect rental, if the gameplay is at least as solid as Mass Effect 2.

I can't imagine dropping a dull $60 on this game unless the gameplay videos I've seen have really undersold the experience.

It's been in development for years rather than months, and is from Digital Extremes, a studio who's put out some solid games. It definitely won't be the worst licensed game of the year, but probably not the best either.
 
I will buy if it gets a Giant Bomb and Gamespot, recommending review. 8 or greater, and 4 stars. Otherwise i will wait for bomba pricing.

people said it was like mass effect. Does it have dialogue trees and let me chill in the enterprise/normandy?

That would be the game it should be. This doesn't seem like that game.

Every time I look at that game, it makes me want a ST RPG (akin to KoTOR).

I would take this or a Walking Dead style adventure game. Walking Dead was all about choice and a Star Trek game where you are a captain would be great for that. Sending people to die constantly and the like.

I would totally love a ST RPG that was like Mass Effect, but there's more time spent on the ship than in the field...and there are ship battles.

This is the OT? Nice work.

As a Trekkie might buy it from the bargain bin. Looks a little bit like ME which is not a bad thing. I expect an average Metacritic of 60% at most.
 
Will there be any reviews soon? I really want this to be decent, give me an 8 and you're all mine.

Also, where is the digital only prequel and phaser/move add-on hmmm?
 
I kind of want to get it. The promo videos make it look like it's fun but at $50 for a licensed game that could be buggy as hell, I think I'll wait for reviews.

Hope it's good.
 
I'll be picking it up. So I guess I'll be the guinea pig.

Also if any of the devs are listening, a great DLC would be a way to make the gorn all look like they did in the original series.

The game sure got downgraded visually since then as well.


Game looks a bit rough but my brother buying almost every star trek game he can find so I will probably play this eventually.

First thing I noticed and I am seeing right now.
It is a step down.

I wish someone would get the Star Trek license just to put up Bridge Commander and Elite Force.

I'd like a Star Trek game in the style of The Walking Dead with an all new cast.

I'd buy that! It'll be fascinating to see how they explain in-universe just like how they explain the klingon ridge change.

I saw some footage of it at the local GS and it looked like a B-style Mass Effect.

Will wait on it. I'm no Star Trek fan either.

LoL oh man... I was wondering when the OT for this would show up. Its gorgeous.


I suppose it's fitting it would appear a few hours before release rather than a week before, for a game like this.
