The problem with the game is CBS Consumer Products. They will give the license to anyone who will write a check and they lack any serious oversight during the development process.

Without serious internal resources at CBS devoted to gaming, you end up with a crap shoot. And since the Star Trek license has been in decline since DS9, the developers/publishers they can attract are mediocre at best.

‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ being released simultaneously with LEGO ‘Indiana Jones’ should fill your criteria… :)

Oh yeah, I’m definitely getting nervous as to whether we will ever see this Star Trek online game get completed and released.

Also, I would love to see “Secret of Vulcan fury” picked up by a daring developer and finished off. Today’s PCs would have no problem in running it. If anyone knows anyone in the industry, start dropping hints please…. :)
Perhaps we can get a petition going. ;)

Wouldn’t it be great to get a wonderful film and as good a game to go with it?

What is all this about William Shater. Why should it matter if he is in it at all. I would like a game that involved a whole new set of characters etc. What I would like to see is a star trek mystery. The point is to find clues and information to solve a mystery, before something really catasrophic happens. They have to go to different planets and talk to diffrent people. This would put the crew in parilous situations, involving bad guys. And maybe even section 31 could make an apperance. You could easily through in a trip to deep space nine, etc, where you have a to a mysterious informant about some key information. There would be side missions implanted at the station, or on planets (like in the GTA games)

This would use the full scope of the Star Trek universe, and could possibly span the five series, if done right. Maybe the main story takes place in the TNG/DS9 era, but some of the back story for the mystery involves side games in the ENTERPRISE, or TOS era’s. and there would be potential to involve any of the VOYAGER characters as supporting players in the game. This would be so diffrent from every other star trek game that I think it would be a hit.

What do you guys think?

Any ideas for the actual story?

Birth of the Federation was one of the best games ever made for Trek. Bridge Commander as well.

BIRTH OF THE FEDERATION IS AWESOME I spend hours and hours playing that and I never get bored (apart from when I’m in peace time like I am now, I’m powerful enough to win but I cbf starting a war and losing ships and having to re-build and re-train from scratch)

I did neglect to include ‘25th Anniversary’ and ‘Judgement Rites,’ but only because they are so dated. I think they are very enjoyable, but I don’t think I’d casually suggest them. I loved ‘The Kobayashi Alternative’ and ‘The Promethean Prophecy,’ but can you imagine even getting them to work now??

The game that I did forget actually was Deep Space Nine’s ‘The Fallen.’ That game was a pleasant surprise. Check that one out too.

‘Birth of the Federation’ also wasn’t bad… I have ‘Legacy’ for x-Box 360… dreadful gaming experience, but it sure looks pretty in HD on a 46″ LCD. ; )

25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites are classics. That would be interesting if they recreated one of those, used the dialogue from the 25th Ann or JR, and give a modern twist to it. It would be a last resort because the game is so good already, but if a new idea for a Trek game doesn’t come soon…Final Unity is my all-time favorite. Followed by Bridge Commander. The newest game, Star Trek: Conquest, for the Wii, I didn’t think I was going to like, but I actually liked how piloting and weapons on the ship worked with the Wii. They can go somewhere with that. I think Armada can be added to that list of best Trek games.
