I was really suprised to see this. Playstation on Youtube just uploaded an official announce trailer for Star Trek Online!
I have no idea how this is going to change the PC version of STO.

What's your opinion on this?

Depends on if my life time sub and purchases carry over.

If the mac version was always so bugged and was apparently to difficult to manage they pulled it, why are they pushing out console versions.

It is quite interesting that this is coming to X1 and PS4, considering that you wouldn't've thought they would be able to do this.

Didn't realize we had an official thread for this, my bad. I find it interesting that they managed to get both X1 and PS4 to do this. It makes even more sense as to why they have done the latest expansion of Agents of Yesterday, because now you can get people to jump into the game as the TOS faction and they won't feel like they are missing out on the story line. They get to jump into the story line at its current date and get to experience the universe as it is happening, rather than jumping in and going "okay, what did I miss".

Well hopefully all of this work to get STO to work on consoles will filter down to the PC version as it said in the article. I have always been aprehensive about MMO's on console mainly because of the limited interface of a controller compared to a keyboard/mouse combo.

I'm hoping for a more detailed dev post regarding the technical details. Will PC become multi-core because of this, will the game progress be shared between PC and consoles or will they be completely separated and run of different shards? Let's see what happens.

If the Xbone and Ps4 can handle Elder Scrolls Online and FFXIV, it can more than handle STO.

How so? The ps4 and Xbone are capable of running graphically demanding games like ESO and FFXIV, there's no reason that STO, a game that predates them both, couldn't be run as well.

I do expect 60fps @720p though, 30fps @1080p.

I'm also waiting to hear if my purchases carry over. I have a lifetime sub and several hundred dollars invested in ships and unlocks, I won't play on console if I don't have access to them. Could care less about transferring my toons over, I just want the stuff I paid for.

I'm kinda wondering the same thing. I don't have as much as you invested, but I'd love to have my ship carry over. I love me Excelsior!!

I'm literally so exited for this! Do you know if it'll have to be paid for or whether it will be free??? I want it like now!!!!!!!!

Will there be a ST:O Xbox division or be integrated into the ST:O PC division?
