Hmmm I've not heard about this game before. I will definitely check it out! Yeah it's being made by a bunch of ex Telltale employees. Set somwhere betewen the last TNG movie and Picard. I heard about it through IGN's coverage last year been keeping tabs on it since. Basically it's a Telltale style Star Trek game. Given it's being made on a budget I thin kthe graphics look OK I hav eheard some people complain about the games graphics but considering the games being made on a budget I can understand why they've gone for wha they have. I'm just looking forward t playing it. Sounds like they'v edone a good job wit hit considering they're on a budget but managed t obring Jonathan Frakes on board to reprise his role as Riker and got an actor who sounds eeerily like Nimoy's Spock. I wonder if w ehave an yother cameo's given we have both Spock and Riker. Guess we'll fin dou twhen the game launches at the end of the month.

Looks like they've manasgedto pull a cdouple ofHeavyweight VA's onto their cast for this game despite being a small team. They've got Debra Wison from the Star wars Jedi FO/Survivor games voicing the Doctor/Chief Medica lOfficer and our good friend Ali Hillis voicing our tactical officer. Jus tneed t oremembe rt ono tsay fire those photon's Liara.

Launch trailer's just been releasedlooks prett ygood. I mean, to be entirely honest, it looks like shit.
I've never been a fan of the Telltale "style" if you want to call it that (I think it's mainly just cheap production) and IMO it also doesn't quite fit the Star Trek brand very well. There is a comment under this video where someone asks if this will be "iOS only or Android as well" and really, i can't blame them for the misunderstanding.
But whatever, the main thing is that the story and characters will work out. The guy who is voicing Spock still impresses me with his Nimoy impression. I am also hoping that dialogue choice timer will be adjustable (or better yet, give us an option to pause/disable it entirely) and that there aren't any/too many quick time events in it.
All in all, I am very skeptical if this will turn out to be good but I'll give it a chance tomorrow nonetheless. It's a Star Trek game after all.

To be fair Star Wars hasaalways been the gigger franchis ewhen it comes to games the only Star Trek game I know of tha treally made a mark was the Voyager Elite Force game. I was really referring t othe fact it's being mad eby a team on a budge tthe game doesn't look bad and tbh I've seen worse looking games. I'm not expecting it t owin an yGOTY awards or anything like that as I think I've aslrad ylikel yplayed m yGOTY fo r2023 already in Hogwarts Legacy but I will admit it's nice to see a ne wStar Trek because I'll admit I prefer Star Trek over Star Wars given most of the Star Trek games require a bit of exploration and solving puzzles whereas Star Wars games are mostly just a variety combat scenarios in space. I've never played a Telltale game s odon't really know muc habout them.I know they do games with some puzzles and choic ebased mechanics but that's all I know. I'm keen t opla ythis as it looks like it's goin gt obe a little bi tof a mix between Bridg eCommander and those earlie rgames like 25th Annivresary and Final Unity. Star Trek games rarel ysell well but I personally don' t care about numbers if I find it fun then that's all I need to keep playing.

I think it's basically gonna be a telltale game, which to me are always more like movies with some very limited dialogue interactivity and some quick time events. I don't expect too much in the sense of real puzzles or anything like that but we'll see. If they have them, I'll be positively surprised.

Plus I'm kin dof tempted t opla ysome Fifa too which I will likel ybe doing anyway on my Xbox while it downloads. Edit decided to d oCitdel after all but may not do all of it. As I'm thinkin gI might skip out on some of the side stuff and the party

Been looking at a few rviews of this game apparently some of hte gameplay mechanics are a bit wonky but apparentl ythe stor yis very good and definitely has a Star Trek vibe to it. A tleast that' s wha tthe majority of the reviews are saying. Guess we'll find out when I start playing need to buy and download it first though.
Been tryin gt obuy it but atm it doesn't look like they're taking order satm whic hi sstrange considerin gtoday is release day supposedly.

Friend of mine is just trying it out and is keeping us up to date on discord. 2 hard crashes in the first 5 minutes so far. I'll only get home in a few hours to try it myself. Fingers crossed that this is something specific to his system and not a general indication of how well it runs. 🤞
EDIT: Looks like he fixed his issues. If you have an AMD card and are using Radeon Chill and/or Freesynch, try to deactivate them. That seems to have solved his crashes.

I looked for it on Steam then realised it's exclusive to EPG so not going to bother until it pops on Steam and on sale. By then, maybe the bugs would have been ironed out.

Only had a chance to play about an hour tonight but it is as I expected. Visuals are pretty crappy, gameplay is pretty minimal (typical telltale style) but the story starts out with some decent Star Trek vibes. A bit too early to tell yet, I am really at the very start and they haven't even left the starbase yet so I'll get back to you on that.
One thing, people should really know because I had to do the first chapter twice because of this: During the game, you can go into a menu that pauses the game and shows you a couple of stats like crew disposition and so on. When you are in that menu DO NOT hit escape! This will put you back into the main menu immediatly without saving any progress. Really annoying, I do hope they patch this quickly so you have to confirm if you really want to leave.

I've played for a couple of hours and I'm enjoying it so far. The story is engaging and definitely gives me the vibes of TNG. It moves along at a fast pace. Gameplay is pretty much exactly like a Telltale game with focus on dialogue options and quick time events. Maybe less freedom to walk around. I like having dual protagonists - reminds me of Tales from the Borderlands in that way. Although you switch perspectives more often than that game from what I remember.
No major complaints at this point. Occasionally I've noticed subtitles not appearing when someone is talking.

As far as I know Epic helped fund the game and in return that's why the devs allowed it t obe Epic exclusive. I personally hav no problems wit hEpic s onot a problem fo rme. I'd have preferred i t ocome on Steam given that's wher m ymain library is but I don' thave a problem with Epic.

Yeah I've downloaded it and it's ready to go but I'm finishing up a couple of other things firs tbefore I play. Looking forward to it though. But yeah seeing a story from 2 different perspectives will be interesting with controlling 2 different people in the game and the Spock and Riker cameo's.

Awwwwww, you get to choose your very own warp phrase! I chose "Make way". "Engage" is definitely taken and "do it" is a bit aggressive and also was used quite a bit by Janeway in her day. I like "Make way". It's new, it fits and has a nice ring to it. They should thrown "It's warp time" or "Warp me" in as well though, just for the lulz. Otherwise, the game still has decent ST vibes but you certainly have to be able to look beyond quite a few rough edges. But still, having fun so far.

Otherwise, the game still has decent ST vibes but you certainly have to be able to look beyond quite a few rough edges. But still, having fun so far. I'd probabl ystick wit hthe classic "Engage" given I how much I'm a fan of TNG. Bu tthat's when I do get to play. I'm looking forward to starting though.

So it's about a 8-10 hours game, depending if you restart a section or suck at a minigame.
Solid Trek story. Good voice actong and facial animations (with rare exceptions).
Only a few decisions throughout the game seem to have an actual effect. Rest is just a momentary illusion, but serves it's purpose.
A good interactive movie for Trek fans, but not really a "game" for anyone else. Definitely needs patches for higher resolutions, framerate and things like motion blur.

Yeah I heard i twasn't lon gbu tthen Sta rTrek games aren't usually Bu t with the modes t£30 price tag and 16gb disc spac erequirement it's no treally a game to expect too muc hfrom. I haven' tplayed ye tbut plan to within the nex t2-3 days a sI'm almost done with what I'm doing on Fifa and then it's just a case o ffinishing ME3 then I'll be ready to play. Decided t ostqart now as i tma ytak e me a bit longe rthan I initiawll yplanned otherwise. Lookin gforward t oseeing wha tthis game has to offer

So yeah, mechanically it's certainly not the best game but I think I might be about half way through now and I like the story more and more. So far so good.

Yeah it's not the best game out there and the controls are a bi t awkward as I'm used to using the arrow keys t omov erather than WSAD. Thankful yin som egames you can get away with it this game so far looks like it's one o fthem as I am getting through it. It definitel yfeels Star Trek to me s ofor me in a least in that sense it's ticking the right boxes. It definitely feels lik ea game on a budget wit hit's graphics but evreything that is Star Trek about it at least looks it. From the tricorders to the phasers and even the computer terminals. I can see myself a tleas tplaying i ta couple o ftimes t osee wha tdifferen tchoices do and ho wthe ychang ethe outcome if at all because it's still fun to play even if the mechanics are somewhat simple. It's not a game I can see myself putting 100's of hours in though like a ME or DA game or even a game like Midnight Suns but it's stil fun in it's own way. I've not met Riker but Spock definitel yfelt like Spock. I can see mysel fdoing the occasiona lplaythroug hhere and there to explore different choices but that's it.
