Action Star Trek games are fun, let's be honest. Most of us enjoyed Elite Force and that certainly had some scifi horror elements, maybe without going too hard. I hope this game is good and wish them well.

But personally I keep telling myself the perfect Star Trek game is an away mission based walking/tricorder simulator with LA Noire style interactions with characters and Myst-ish styled puzzles. Maybe something closer to the new Indiana Jones game but in spaaaace.

I keep waiting to see that game. I have no idea if it would work though. I thought Resurgence came close, but it definitely wasn't perfect.

What sick person gets the license to make a Star Trek game, and decides survival horror is the best genre fit? Have they seen a single episode?

[–] LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Something like No Man's Sky would really be a better genre to fit into Star Trek's "seek out new life and new civilizations" mantra.

See “The Deadly Years”, “Obsession”, “Genesis”, “Empok Nor”, and “Impluse” among examples.

Horror episodes do exist, but they're rare, and not generally representative of the series as a whole.

"Star Trek isn't this, except when it is" is a pretty shaky foundation for an argument, though.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I’d argue it’s no better a fit than, say, FPS, but people loved Elite Force.

I’m happy they’re experimenting with different genres to focus on different aspects of Trek.

Also see "Identity Crisis", "Aquiel" and every Borg episode which is horror.

why do gamers™ always assume everything is created for them

let people enjoy things

It seems like they don't mean "bolder" so much as "more mainstream".

I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but I also like the oddball, niche games of the last few years (short-lived as they've been).

Team Beef just started working on a VR conversion for Star Trek: Elite Force. That's all I care about.

This could be an interesting game, but why make this at all?

Star Trek was meant to be the shining ideal vision of the future. Please stop making it "gritty".

FTL is the best Star Trek game.
