Takes place after the last movie and you either play as Kirk or Spock.

This morning Paramount Digital Entertainment announced they developing a new video game titled "Star Trek" for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in 2012. The game, due in 2012, promises an original story and "unprecedented co-op experience," with players taking on the roles of Kirk and Spock.

The new Star Trek game features an original stand alone story which "continues the adventure" of the 2009 Star Trek movie. According tot he release the game is "filled with action-packed combat as Kirk and Spock must work together to stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy." The story is being developed by BAFTA award winner and God of War writer, Marianne Krawczyk, in collaboration with the writer/producers of the new Star Trek films, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced. Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience.
The game is under development by acclaimed Ontario-based developers Digital Extremes (Bioshock 2, Unreal Tournament, Dark Sector, The Darkness II), working closely with Bad Robot, K/O Paper Products and Damon Lindelof and published by Paramount Digital Entertainment through a license with CBS Consumer Products.

Sounds like a triple-A title to me.

It's about friggin' time! I hope it's something we can get swept up in. Might not be the best fodder for modding communities like ours, but we need a decent story driven Trek game that lives up to modern gaming standards.

Hopefully the touted coop combat will make sense within the story, and will be supported by logical and fun non-combat gameplay. I also hope flying the Enterprise is on the feature list at launch!

Or it could be an expanded version of something like a BC/EF Hybrid, where you get to command and fight through the ship?

It could well be the new Final unity?

Not by the sounds of "Coop combat"... I'm thinking it'll be something along the lines of Army of Two. The concept art image supports the idea of this being a shooter.

We can but hope that it's more than that.

Hmmm...while Kirk has a standard phaser, Spock seems to have ripped off a Covenant Plasma Pistol. :eek

Honestly, I'm not big on shooters, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt once E3 hits.

Plasma rifle, but yeah, I know what you mean.

Sweet, looks like it'll be Elite Force but with actual main characters as protagonists!

Personally, though it looks to be as much of an FPS as Star Trek looked like a flashy action movie (which was a lot), I'm quite excited. The graphics look awesome too!

And, since Kirk and Spock will most definitely have to be voice acted, we get to hear more of their trademark banter than we got in Star Trek (2011)!

Graphics? What graphics? We're not seeing any graphics, and won't until the game premieres at E3 next week.

That screenshot looks like it's in some sort of game engine. I happen to think that the final product will look like that.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2011, 08:58:19 PM »

Ehhh, looks more like concept art to me.

Bren · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2011, 08:58:38 PM »

I'm pretty sure that's concept art, it looks aliased because it was resized badly.

FarShot · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2011, 09:03:51 PM »

Spock's helmet and back have visible polygon edges, and the tube thingies on his back look like someone turned anisotropic filtering off. Pretty sure that's at least rendered in 3d.

I'm having a really hard time NOT seeing that weapon Spock is holding as a Covenant plasma rifle . . . please, for the love of all things Trek, do NOT let this game be a crossover of Halo and Trek. That would ruin my trust in game designers of this generation. :eek

FarShot · « **Reply #14 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:59:50 AM »

If its a shooter, it'll probably be third person.

Yeah thought that too. Let's hope we won't have a meet and greet with the spartan.

That's why I think that's merely concept art. Because I don't play Halo and the first thing I noticed was that looked like a Covenant Plasma Rifle. I don't think they could get away with that. Especially since this isn't being made by Microsoft or Bungie.

HUGE EDIT!!!

http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/06/06/e3-2011-star-trek-trailer TRAILER!!! AWESOMENESS!!!

here is a Trailer from E3

LOL didn't see the edit.

FarShot · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:42:08 PM »

Told you it was from the game engine.

Also, doesn't this room look TOS-ish? Possible universe crossover?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:55:55 PM »

I dunno, but I hope for Kirk and Spock's sakes that the ol' 1701's helm console is bolted down more securely than the 1701-E's was. :p
