Going to be a dumbed down version of EVE Online. Likely going to suck.

Their website is down right now, but it's not worth it anyways.

Down or not, I'm adding the link. I hate coming into these threads with nothing to back up anything that is said. |

Not gonna lie, STO will probably bomb. They've already dropped ship and station interiors, which means it's going to be the same concept as EVE Online, set in Star Trek lore. Except, they're using heavily instanced areas which is stupid. They're basically trying to compete in a genre with a game that has no 'real' new gameplay to offer, and only a popular IP (the star trek IP). It isn't going to be nearly as complex as EVE, and will probably fail to the likes of Jumpgate Evolution and Earthrise, which will be the games that sci-fi fans that don't play EVE will go to.
Edit: I'm probably biased, because I think EVE is one of the most brilliant games -ever-, not just in MMO terms, and I love the company behind it (CCP). But I -am- looking forward to Earthrise, and STO is going to bring nothing new to the table. |

But nah.. I started posting here because of DS and el freg posting here. I saw DS posting on it one day, and was like "what is that" and he told me, so I made an account and started posting.
Don't think I have ever posted in the wrestling forum before though. |

Has there ever been a GOOD star trek game? Honestly, I like the idea of space combat, but....

I wonder if any of the computer games are worth it. I like the ships more than the stories. I used to have a shitload of the Micro Machine toys, both Star Trek and Star wars. At least with Star Wars, there is Rogue Leader. Doesn't do the tactical or RPG stuff, but it's a kickass starfighter game.

Bridge Commander was decent. Has/had a huge mod following that mad it great, lots of graphic improvements and tons of ships.

Armada and Armada 2 were great RTS games. As mentioned above Bridge Commander was good. Elite Force and Elite Force 2 were damn good FPS games but that seems to be about it really.
As for this, I always thought it would have more in common with Star Wars Galaxies what with you beaming down to planets and the like then Eve? |

Cryptic has what.. City of Heroes? While successful, it never grabbed my chain. I dunno.. maybe it will be nice, but it's going to have to 'wow' me if it wants more than a half-assed interest. STO might never even see the light of day. |

Maybe we'll get a Masters of Teras Kasi.

Also, looking at some new screenshots, I have to say I'm not impressed with the graphics. They world itself is very 'blocky'. The space graphics look decent, but it's looking very WoWish. Even the new Star Wars MMO so far is more visually appealing than this.

I tried Legacy's demo; now that I can get it cheap used, I should. It's not awesome, but....

Legacy was the one on the 360 right? Yeah that game was awful, couldn't stand it. Personally I think the best formula for a Star Trek game is Armada or Bridge Commander. Would love to see them make a second Bridge Commander game.

The only good thing about Legacy was all the Captains and Main ships from all the shows.
