An inherent problem with the Star Trek concept is that any time people want to make movies or videogames about it, they always move away from what Star Trek is about.
Because Star Trek isn’t very action focused or cinematic or tactile. They don’t even really have guns, they basically fight by aiming laser pointers and just standing there. You’re not gonna get sick action shooter gameplay from Star Trek. The best Star Trek episodes are the ones where no combat happens at all.
Because Star Trek wasn’t made to be an action movie, or a videogame. Star Trek is a TV show, and everything about it was made for a long-form TV format, and a long-form TV budget. It’s about character drama, and politics, and diplomacy, and encountering weird alien shit. It was built for characters making tough decisions, and going on Shakespearean soliloquies.
The only kind of game that would REALLY stay true to the spirit of Star Trek…. Would unfortunately be a Telltale style choose your own adventure game.
Funny that members of the Telltale team worked on Star Trek: Resurgence. Which is pretty exactly that.
Yo wait hang on I hadn’t heard about this
