that Pistol\Rifle looks strangely familiar to a Plasma rifle from Halo

I can't view it perhaps the link is broken? Comes up with a 404 error. I'm curious know .

Yeah I got the same thing, I wanna see!

I'm inclined to agree with you Jordan. Although it is early days, but the developers past games are all ones which I don't like and the rumour says it will be set in the 2009 movie universe. I did like the film, but it's Trek Jim but not as we know it!

Well, it's just rumours though so we will have to wait and see.

I would like to see some of the old Star Trek games just redone with modern graphics. Klingon Academy, Starfleet Command (the original!). Bridge Commander would be pretty sweet with some of the new technologies we see today, but have to be patient for Excalibur .

Will be nice to see a new Trek game but I can't help but feel like it's just going to be a generic shooter. It's coming out on the consoles, says it all really. Will be devoid of any intellectual plot or any strategy.

One to keep an eye on for sure. Little disappointed, if not surprised, that it's set in the alternate universe time line. I hope this doesn't signify a trend in PC gaming to ignore the prime universe, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Very little to judge this game on as yet, but looking forward to hearing more details.

[Terrell]

Wonder if the plot will be a filler between the events of the 2009 film and the new one set for release in 2012?

I was about to post this when I saw this thread. It has just a tad more on the game:

New Game for XB,PS3,PC based on 2009 movie, coming in 2012!
« on: Yesterday at 04:02 PM »
Paramount Digital Entertainment in collaboration with Digital Extremes have announced that a new triple-A video game based on the 2009 Star Trek movie will be released in 2012.

The game will build on the events of the blockbuster J.J. Abrams film and enable players, for the first time ever, to assume the roles of Kirk and Spock. Star Trek will be released in 2012 in the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Windows PC formats, and Paramount Digital Entertainment will provide a sneak peak at the upcoming title to the media in attendance June 7-9 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Based on an original story by BAFTA award winner and God of War writer Marianne Krawczyk,Star Trek follows Kirk and Spock as they learn to work as a team in the process of trying to thwart the efforts of an infamous enemy race from conquering the galaxy. Krawczyk is collaborating with Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the writers-producers of Star Trek 2009, and they are all teaming with Bad Robot, K/O Paper Products and Damon Lindelof on the game, which is still under development.

“Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure gamers and fans have never experienced,” said Tom Lesinski, President, Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience.”

Looks like a cheap cash in to me. And yes why is Spock wielding a Covenant Plasma Rifle?

I'm not sure what to think to be honest.

I have always enjoyed the universe written from ENT through Nemesis, through STO (chronologically speaking). I did enjoy the new movie, but at the same time, it lacked some of the finer things that made the Star Trek I know truly Star Trek.

That being said, I am not mad at the new storyline and "alternate" nature of what Star Trek is today, I just would prefer to play games that run with the classic universe we all know.

At the same time though, I still enjoyed the new universe enough to be enticed by this new game's potential. We shall see what happens, I suppose.

[Burtonshaw]

Personally, i would just like someone to re create Bridge Commander from scratch. new engine, new graphics, a couple of gameplay improvements like multi vector attack etc. This new game just seems too CoD like...
