Latest Star Trek Games and
Star Trek news
| Well, time to blow the dust off of the "gaming" news part of this site...and after this post let the dust settle until its a few inches thick i suppose.
The new Star Trek game which was released not too long ago has been out there for a good number of days now, and the verdict from most of the major gaming magazines, sites, and podcasts are in...
...it sucked.
Problems with the game engine, bad AI, faulty texturing was just a few of the masses of complaints which was put against this, the latest of the Star Trek games to come out under the "new generation" of hardware.
Where did it all go wrong?
This time, 10 years ago, it was 2003. Activision had bailed and the trek gaming scene was left to flounder amidst the glory days of when Star Trek gaming was a franchise which NOTHING could touch. Fast forward 10 years and all we have left is a free to play MMO which recently has been having nothing but server problems, a lacklustre PC game based off of the JJ movie and.. well.. thats it.
Paramount Online which is the new PC games division of Paramount which will be launched at the end of this year looks to me to be Star Trek gamings last, best hope for getting some good single and multiplay games back into the fold. As it stands now, the gaming franchise is dead, has been dead for the past half a decade. In my eyes the execs of Paramount and CBS simply do not care about the games side of Star Trek anymore. You only need to look at the rights issues Cryptic have had trying to get more cannon ships into Star Trek Online... CBS put the kybosh on a lot of them.
As for Star Trek Online... as some of you may know I have started dabbling in it again. Some of the lads from the Doctor Who Expo in Second Life decided to make a small fleet in ST:O and i popped in and joined them. Victor1st@Victor1st is my characters name in it if anyone wants to add me to their friends list.
My current ship in ST:O - Fleet Excelsior
Winter 2013...it comes down to the last few months of this year. Paramount Online (or whatever they will call it) will be the new games division which will cover both CBS and Paramount as two entities. If there is no major announcement about Star Trek games by the end of this year or going into the first few months of 2014...then in my eyes the games franchise has had the last nail hammered in, and is now being buried.
To CBS and Paramount, you have had a DECADE to sort the mess of rights ownership and development out. Get your collective acts together and start acting like you care about whats left of this games franchise.

| Quote: 1947 Entertainment owner David Foster thinks it's time for Star Trek to come back to the small screen.
It's been a few years since the last time a new Star Trek series graced our television screens and while the most recent addition to the franchise, Enterprise, was built on a cool premise, it never caught fire with fans and was canceled after a disappointing four seasons. Prior to that was Voyager, which ran for seven seasons from 1995 to 2001, Deep Space 9, which also made seven seasons from 1993 to 1999, and the big dog, Star Trek: The Next Generation, which revived the Trek franchise in 1987 and lasted for seven seasons of its own.

| Quote: If Sal Lagonia, president and producer of Project: Cardinal, a whole new concept in Trek lore, has his way that possiblity seems promising with “Star Trek: Cardinal.” While Lagonia admits to having no prior experience as a producer, he does claim to be a semi-professional screenwriter, having “done a great deal of production work for various series and movies, as well as owning a film degree,” according to the project’s creator.
I am hoping to make further contact with him to verify what other projects he has worked on in the past.

| Quote: Even though his hands are plenty busy working on the Munsters reboot titled Mockingbird Lane, and now that his plans for the Hannibal television series have revealed an ambitious seven-year storyline, one would think Bryan Fuller would have little time to ponder a new Star Trek television series.
Apparently, that’s not the case.
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly regarding the upcoming NBC series Hannibal, Fuller was asked about his thoughts on a new Star Trek television series and what he had discussed with filmmaker Bryan Singer prior to J.J. Abrams rebooting the franchise with his successful 2009 feature film release.
It seems that since Abrams and Paramount are the current gatekeepers to the Star Trek franchise, any such television series would likely have to be met with their approval, and coincide with the release schedule of any further installments beyond next year’s tentatively titled Star Trek 2.

| Just a quick note to all the folks still visiting the site.
Although I still think that the Star Trek games franchise is now a hollowed out, gutted shell of what it once was a decade ago (2002/3 marks the final two years of the original Activision license) I thought i would dip my toe back into Star Trek gaming in the only real game left out there... Star Trek: In Name Only, better known as Star Trek: Online.
I have not played this game since the closed beta, and two years on, and now 7 major expansions i got to admit the game is a lot more enjoyable than the complete trainwreck it was a couple of years ago. The rumor mill i have been hearing is that Paramount's Interactive division is now planning on relaunching the Star Trek game franchise in late 2013, with the same system they used to have...seperate licenses for each of the eras given to seperate publishers and game developers.
Until then, in my eyes, the franchise is dead...but now and again, you might find me in Star Trek Online if I am taking a break from Second Life. My name in STO as ever...is Victor1st.
Within two days i made commander, and i just got myself an excelsior class...

| Quote: Star Trek Game Introduces The New Gorn
Several days ago, the villain for the forthcoming Star Trek video game was announced, and today, players can see what the alien will look like. One of the more painful aspects of the original series episode Arena, in which the Gorn was first seen, was the rather fake-looking Gorn, but in the new Star Trek [...]
