Cool News
There's a STAR TREK video game that is going to lead into JJ's STAR TREK 2 apparently...
Hey folks, Harry here... JJ's STAR TREK 2 is pretty much a complete mystery at this point. For this game there's an enemy race attempting to conquer the galaxy. The game hits in the 1st quarter of 2013 but will "pave the way" to JJ's film which hits May 17th. Found this out over at ShackNews - which has a video of in game footage, which I have to say seems pretty darn cool. Love the space walk stuff. But if you look - there is an alien ship here. WILL THAT BE THE BAD GUYS? I don't instantly recognize the ship, but figured I'd share with you folks, so that perhaps we'll have the answer soon enough.
This was shown at E3 last year - and has been online for awhile, but with today's press release from Paramount stating that the game is now directly leading into the film - it's time to revisit this old game footage... don't you think?

Ok...Where is Asimov and Roberto...let the REAL games begin.

Ok Bob...did you have anything to do with this...What can you contractually tell us if so. Asimov....Begin the "Star Trek reduced to silly, violent, 3rd person, Tomb Raider style Shooter" Ranting. I'm gonna go out get a bottle of wine for wife's Co-Workers party and will be back later tonight to laugh, learn and perhaps mediate a cease fire to the inevitable carnage to follow.

It's a Cardassian Spacecraft!!! Earth meets Dominion way earlier! Earth dies!!!

If this is true, thank you Orci, JJ., Kurtzman! Thank you!
by kbarber29
You are going to restore honor to DS9 and make it better for having watched Trek 2.

...This is old news :| -Namaste-

Don't grieve, Admiral...

I only see the one shot of the ship swooping by in the distance... and it doesn't look like any Cardassian ship we've ever seen, nor any Jem Hadar ship.

At the .44 second mark on the screen is what looks an awful lot like DS9
by xombygodd
Yes you. That would so fucking awesome.
-
Feb. 10, 2012, 8:50 p.m. CST
At 17. seconds it looks like a sip breaking up into a black hole, Or could the blue glow be a wormhole?
by xombygodd
-
FUCK YEAH! That's everything that Star Trek has been about the whole time, blowing the shit the fuck the shit...did I mention the fuckshit? UP! Fucking blow that shit up! That was Roddenberry's vision, explode that shit! Because Star Wars did it and it made more money. Because in Star Wars they blew a planet up so we need to blow more planets up and shit blows up and I just blew my load! Because everything is blowing up and ice monsters and swords! And shit blowing up!!!OMGWTF!!!!!!
-
might as well rename the series to be more accurately described.
-
Feb. 10, 2012, 8:58 p.m. CST
Xombygodd: yes, it looks like a wormhole, maybe the one by DS9
by kbarber29
-
...is all about shooting, fighting, battles, and more shooting. You know, exactly the opposite of what most of Trek is about. Pass.
-
...but this "guns blazing" concept is NOT "Star Trek."
-
That was my idea for a STAR TREK film have to whole universe under siege by the DOMINION and bring in all the STAR TREK characters from all the franchises... Have a huge galactic EPIC space battle bigger than STAR WARS...

Hidden enemy could also refer to the Changeling's, shapeshifter's that control the Dominion.
by kbarber29
Changeling's can shapeshift and may have been spying on the Federation for some time. We could meet evil Odo.
-
Feb. 10, 2012, 9:21 p.m. CST
Peter Weller looks like a Changeling, might be reprising Odo?
by kbarber29
-
Feb. 10, 2012, 9:23 p.m. CST
not that he was Odo before, but Odo the character who's really really old is coming back I mean

There aren't any lens flares or swollen hands...

This game will be terrible. Just like every other game ever made based off movies.

...when Star Wars tried to be Star Trek. We got Episode 1 trade disputes, diplomats, pontification and moralizing about species cohabitation, Federation-style Jedi rules of engagement, shoehorned pseudo-sciene to needlessly explain plot, and other such long-winded and self-contradictory horse hockey -- Just like Star Trek!

Mass Effect. Oh, it's Mass Effect. Mass Effect? Yeah, Mass Effect.
by Larry Sellers
SHUT THE FUCK UP
-
The ship at 0:40 certainly looks Cardassian - though a double-tailed ship is not *that* difficult to conceive. In the original timeline, Cardassians had contact at least with Vulcan at the time of Kirk and Spock. While the occupation of Bajor was later, Cardassians already were active then, though they only joined the Dominion after the wormhole existed and the Klingons had try to invade. So yes, maybe an evil Odo helped the Cardassians to flex their muscles earlier, and maybe even helped them create a wormhole to the Delta Quadrant. Benedict Cumberbatch certainly would look intruiging in a Cardassian makeup...

this is for the GAME people. modern licenses often give game creators huge freedom
by WickedJacob
The days of games being forced to follow the movies are ending. Studios are realizing that games are more successful if they let the game developers go through their own creative process. So even if all this speculation about cardassians etc are true for the game, it tells us nothing about the movie.
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 4:30 a.m. CST
There was a definite funk of Mass Effect 2 off of the video!
by Ciderman
But aren't they kinda hamstrung by the original series timeline when it comes to introducing bad guys? Or is Spock Prime busy heading off V-Ger, The whale probe and the rest of the threats with all the lovely intel in the pointy old head of his?
-
Also, Star Trek TNG on the GameBoy was fucking awesome too. The thing that makes Mass Effect such a good Star Trek game is that it gives you the freedom to take your starship to whatever planet you want and it's not always about shooting- often you're brokering for peace or helping people in some way and the conversation trees mean you can actually talk to people instead of just shooting them. So if this Trek game can incorporate those sorts of features (and Star Trek Elite Force 2 did do some basic branching dialogue) then it could be really excellent. I'm not so keen on the focus on just Kirk and Spock, it would be cool to be able to pick which crew members you take on an away mission based on their skills (although I'd probably always take Spock, Bones, Scotty and Ensign Ricky). Unfortunately based on the trailer the game looks like it might just be a linear shooter, rather than an action/RPG like Mass Effect.

Getting a Mass Effect/Dead Space vibe which is a GOOD thing...
by OptimusBob
...When I played the Original Mass Effect; I thought why didn't bioware just get the Star Trek Licence and make a Star Trek RPG? I mean plot-wise Mass Effect is just Star Trek. The Geth are just The Borg and the "Humans-struggling-to-get-a-seat-on-the-council (Federation)" is taken straight from Enterprise. Maybe it had something to do with Bioware already having the Star Wars Licence, that they couldn't obtain one for Star Trek?
-
Aliens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkcgkA9xVkY AvP(makes it look awesome) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSCK0oe9VbU 2001(feels like an R rated movie its so scary!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMTDvlHydss also this had me LOLing HARD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnkrgLkFlZg
-
The game's story seems to be standalone. Yes, Paramount confirmed Game will be followed by movie, but I don't think they said that game story will seque into movie story.
-
I know you bitches have him stuffed in there somewhere.
-
some alien superbeing? a hidden enemy? hmmmm...
-
has Shatner been helping out on the script?
-
GoldenEye was a classic on the Nintendo 64. So much so that they remade it for the PS3, even though Daniel Craig wasn't in the fucking movie, you assholes! But I digress. Star Wars came up with some good games too. Even Star Trek had some good games. There was a decent first person shooter based on Voyager. But Star Trek games should be a little more cerebral, like the old puzzle type Sierra games. Oh shit, forgot Star Trek is about BLOWING THE FUCK OUT OF SHIT now, right Rob?
-
This looks like the same footage that was shown when this game was first announced, like 6 months ago. I don't think the script for the new movie was even finished back then, so I highly doubt anything you see in this video will relate to the movie.
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 9 a.m. CST
Great! If we don't play the game we won't have any idea who the villain is just like if you didn't read the comics before the first movie.

Let's just divide up the whole plot between spinoff products this time.
by UltraTron
If you don't buy the toys and read the pivotal plot info on the box you have no idea who each character is ect
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 9:05 a.m. CST
Agree Mass Effect 2 has me wondering what the fuck ever happened to Startrek games.
by UltraTron
But let's face it. You paid for the women.
-
It's ok. Ever since star trek 2 they been pchoo pchoo fighting. Nobody remembers the wide-beam phaser setting that can stun thousands of people at once. If they did there would never be a pchoo pchoo gun fight like in the old west that sucks shit everytime I see one because I remember the wide-beam phaser setting they arn't using because they like to put in filler pchoo pchoo fights instead of writing something intriguing.

If transporters existed you could link it to your iPhone and de-materialize every enemy in the vicinity

You see star trek has never been about its ideas. If it was it would be epic as shit.

by Get_Me_An_18-Man_Fire_Team_In_12_Hours
I saw the movie, and seriously didn't notice.
-
And I get that there needs to be some blasting in your sci-fi movie. No one is going to see Star Trek: The Motion Picture nowadays. Hell, no one saw it then either. But Star Trek used to be about more than that. Even in the movies, Wrath of Khan had two short space battles but the last thing it was about was how much shit they could cram into a shot an get blowed up. Star Trek 2.0 was successful because it did everything it could to emulate Star Wars which as much as people love to bash it, puts asses in seats. It's just a shame that they don't hire writers who can bring entertainment into the original sci-fi concepts on which Star Trek is based.

Star Wars & Trek should be culled. Time for new Mythos.

And you sometimes make intelligent comments but you don't need the caps lock and the "fact!" thing. You don't need to pose as a character to talk with other people on a message board.

Oh wait, that's a story that CAN'T be done right.
-
Hope they can break the lifetime trend.
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 1:07 p.m. CST
So they have a game developed using last year's game technology that they are not going to release for another year. It will look like outdated crap by then.
by The_Maltese_Vulcan
-
Was after Star Trek, Trek was before Star Wars, so honestly you can say that Wars ripped stuff off Trek! :) And I also wrote a spec "script" for a Trek Movie, its still not finished, and its bad actually. Maybe someday I'll finish it and make a million.;) I still dont get why some people say Star Trek 09 didnt have an idea behind it, or wasnt "high concept" enough, but maybe its just me. As to the trailer, I did see a Cardasian ship at first. But I think that shape was used for several types of vessels. I still cant help but think Khans in this. Its a gut feeling.
-
theres def a DS9 vibe to that trailer but i really hope the actual movie dosnt have any DS9 stuff in it - Cardassian or whatever they called. there was a homage in ST09 - "Cardassian sunrise"
-
Yes Star Wars came after Star Trek but they were completely different takes on sci-fi/fantasy stories with occasional overlap. That is until Star Trek died a twisting, horrible death and they decided to go all Star Wars with the reboot. Which is fine, I understand that the audience today doesn't want to hear about any of the deeper sci-fi concepts or commentary on humanity type themes that old Star Trek had. They have a dubiously large budget to make up (I mean $200 mill, really?). So copy Star Wars. Trek 2.0 got the shoot 'em up part right but it missed the part of Star Wars where we cared about any of the characters.
-
because of all the bullshit about the real life Cardashians that keeps getting shoved in my face by the retarded media we have in this country. Seriously, I can't hear the word Cardassian in Star Trek anymore without being reminded of those Cardashian fucks.
-
And there is no reason not to make a new series, especially given how good TV has gotten.
-
You're right, the Prometheus style trailer edit makes AvP look great, which makes me more worried about the actual full length Prometheus now. I still think the original teasers for Alien and Aliens are the better than the Prometheus style with the damn BWAAHHMMMM!!!!!!! Alien http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjLamj-b0I8&feature=related Aliens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fheA6Ua_nNc
-
Same here. Why the fuck do I need a non-Bioware made, non action/RPG with dialogue trees Star Trek game when I have Mass Effect. Mass Effect 3 in about a month too! AICN really needs a video games column, and not just that retro game one, which is great and all, but one on new games. Maybe something a bit like Harry does his DVD/Blu picks of the week list.

lv_426 - yes everythings amazing with a Prometheus style trailer!
by CARTMANEZ
i hope to see ones for Masters of the Universe, Lost in Space, Supernova and Event Horizon soon too and yes i too was concerned Prometheus might not be an instant classic for abit but then i realised.....theres no way it cant be.
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 4:19 p.m. CST
also Prom style trailers for the Trek movies - TMP, TWOK, FC and ST09
by CARTMANEZ
they would work well i think
-
I don't know anything about this game, but from that trailer this looks like this is exactly Dead Space 2 reworked with a Star Trek theme.
-
Feb. 11, 2012, 5:33 p.m. CST
This looks like they re-skinned Mass Effect for Trek...not a bad thing.
by Pixelsmack
I'd love a Trek game done Mass Effect style. Hell when we all play Mass Effect, we compare it to Trek and B5. It's great story and a great game. Sad that only a video game is the best "serialized" sci-fi available right now. Or maybe that's the future? The way the genre will thrive? Who knows.

Passing on Star Trek is staying true to your Star Trek, since everyone else has been passing on ST until the last movie brought the franchise back to life. You keep watching your old stiff didactic morality plays on bad sets. I'll take the new version. Thanks.
-
Fuck old Star Trek and all that cerebral shit! Blowing shit the fuck up is where it's at! And the characters in the old Trek weren't nearly loud and their characteristics weren't even close to exaggerated enough! FUCKING BLOW THAT SHIT UP AND YELL IN CARICATURE ACCENTS!!!! OMGWTF!!!!

Feb. 11, 2012, 11:12 p.m. CST
I'm liking the idea of an invasion of the Prime / Mirror Universe or maybe the JJ-verse Dominion
by Al
Of course, it'll be an original enemy made up for the game (99% likely), which is fine. But I'd love to see The Dominion show up, but they're all the way over the Gamma Quadrant and as much as I can buy the timeline being affected by Nero's incursion I really can't see the ripple effects going all that far back. The Borg in the Delta Quadrant and the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant should be unaffected by all that temporal tinkering. (note: extreme Trek geek musing above). Seriously, though, just to keep going, I'm not sure if the Dominion could even show up in the Alpha Quadrant in the JJ-verse at the 23rd Century because they only showed up because the wormhole opened up at Bajor and THAT only happened because The Sisko opened it because the wormhole aliens wanted to talk to him and stuff. But would The Sisko even exist in this timeline? (Maybe one of his descendants got blown up on the Kelvin or got iced when Vulcan got explodey. Not to say The Sisko is a Vulcan, but if a descendant of him was on one of the Starfleet ships that got toasted by Nero.) Basically, it'd be interesting to see how the far-flung TNG era races would interact with the JJ-verse characters, but you gotta go through a lot of holes to get to that one. But a good example is the Nero comic where they come face to face with freakin V'Ger, which I thought was awesome. (And, since Nero showed up there you can think of a good "Butterfly effect" excuse why it wouldn't roll up on the JJ-verse in a few years cuz Nero interacted with it and it got it's closure on it's Carbon Based Lifeforms or whathaveyou). This is why we need comics and games and books and stuff, moreso set in the JJ-verse just cuz there's lots of areas you can explore that can mix and match both continuities without employing time travel yet again. But, in the end, we probably won't get much of it. nice to dream, though.

by Al
It's fine, just reset button the end of it. "All Good Things..." reset buttons the hell of out it's ending and it's one of the best damn Trek's ever made. (To a lesser extent, Voyager's Year of Hell does it too and it works cuz it earns it and it has Kurtwood Smith in it) I'm not saying make a movie outta it but it's good fodder for the IDW series / any other games ya got out there.

Star Trek follows Kirk and Spock as they learn to work as a team in the process of trying to thwart the efforts of an infamous enemy race from conquering the galaxy... Infamous Enemy Race, eh? It is the Cardassians isn't it?...COOL. Because TOS crew never encountered them in the original timeline, so it'll cool to see how that pans out.

You just gave Mass Effect a faint praise. Because that game is so vastly superior to Abrams Trek it's not even funny. Actually, come to think of it, it is funny.

by UltraTron
I can't believe it only cost 12 mil. It's now my favorite comfort food sci-fi movie ever. Good god man. That is the hottest Asian chick. The movie is better than any star trek except the first film. I can make any excuse for it. It's just geektastic. The wave gun they put sunglasses on when they fire is the most powerful looking thing since the death star. This movie is more fun than not watching it. I can assure you of that.

Nichelle Nichols was a traine dancer, small wonder she was such a hardbody in your youth during ST:TOS.
by AsimovLives
Her sexiness helped brough more the black and white races together then all the combined efforts of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. How many whiteboys got their first sexual crush on Nichelle Nichols? Oh yeah!

What do you wanna fight about? I'm ready dude!

Reminds me a bit of Dead Space, which actually would be kinda cool. It'll probably suck though.

The Elite Squad games were pretty good. Ironic considering the show it was based on.

The morons who think Lee Harvey Oswald kilked JFK, but i am game fir anything. I need a complaint!
-
People who believe the "official" version that LHO killed JFK dont want their delusion to be shaken! Then they'll have to question another "official" truth. Then another, and another on and on! :( 'Waving' at the DHS 'waving' Hi! :)
-
I have to commend you on taking stands on these topcs man. I dont see many (if any) in your line of work do so. At least openly. Keep up the fight, but you do realize it may get rough right? BB dont like when people get out of line.

Reminds me of my favourite Bill Hicks bit.. :If Lee Harvey Oswald had shot JFK...
by OptimusBob
...by the trajectory of the bullet, he would have to be dangling by his feet from the window ledge of the depository... maybe a couple of pigeons held his ankles in mid-flight...You know its believed there were pro-Castro pigeons conspiring in a bar on the morning of the assassination; they were heard to have been shouting Coup! Coup!... (crowd groans)...FUCK YOU! You're not above puns!
-
If he shot him he must have had four arms and two rifles! And fired from three different directions.
-
Looks like no fighters tonight, they must have played to much Skyrime and are now tucked safely in bed.
-
I just landed in New Orleans.
-
It's like you said those that believe the official version of events are deluded; they aspire to a nothing-to-see-here-go-back-to-sleep philosophy which is mind-numbingly ignorant and idiotic.
-
If I can be nosey. And a beer sounds good!
-
You nailed it! If the people actually knew what has happened (and is continuing to happen) I honestly think their would be mass panic. But since most are content to go on with their heads in the sand and fool themselves I dont see things changing much...yet.
-
Will be AWSOME!
-
Not in a fighting mood...too much Malbec in my system...and anyway, we don't fight much anymore unless it is about that abysmal fucking film series Transformers.

Well if nobodys gonna fight I'm gonna go do a half-assed snow shoveling job whilst downloading pornography!
by Al
Blah, I came to the depths of the AICN talkbacks for some Gladiator style throw-downs between BobOrci and AsimovLives. "Are you not entertained?!"
-
Feb. 13, 2012, 1:18 a.m. CST
Well, technically, the pornography is downloading as I do a crappy snow shoveling job
by Al
Like, it's not as if I take my laptop outside and download pornography while shoveling snow, that would be weird. It's, like, set up the download, then go shovel. That's the ticket.
-
The end.

Their ships were always lame in fights until into the dominion war -- sttng fight w enterprise was brief and Picard shirked and w one volley had them On defense. Please. They were an aggressive arrogant but weaker enemy. Btw ds9 rules !!! Garakt and bashir's talk at end of war said it all. They lived by arrogant aggression and betrayed the entre alpha quadrant and basically their 800+million dead was them getting what they deserved. Their fleet decimated. Capital planet in ruins. Demoralized. New future hopefully of peace. Love the DS9 war Arc By end of war Federation is militarily way smarter and more advanced and when their fleet is rebuilt up It will be quite badass Klingon fleet very depleted but same Romulins--fleet not as decimated. Still the smartest most insidious enemy but now warmer to Feds Breen--very depleted and hated in quadrant Dominion - fleet decimated. Jem Hadar decimated in alpha quadrant. Still strong in their quadrant

Lee Harvey Oswald was very probabably ONE of the three assassins that killed Kennedy
by AsimovLives
and the only one unfortunate enough to get caught. And nyes, there had to be 3 assassins. The sole assassin scenario is not very plausible.
-
His name was William Backed-Upner until he met me.
-
get involved in talking about that, or any other conspiracy theories; and you, like I, might find out Roberto seems a pretty decent guy (fucking horrible Transformers films not withstanding). And it is hard to bash, to violently anyway, people you come to respect. My advice...stick to talking Trek...it'll keep your hatred spring fresh; Detente is so boring from a spectators point of view.
-
Your comment states "1st quarter of 2013". Game says "2012". Which is it? Not that it matters unless they have a key to toggle to 1st person. I generally dislike third person games.

Think About it...All good productions need a Ying and Yang.
by conspiracy
a protagonist and an antagonist...something to play off. If we all got along all the time this place would be as as much fun as sitting and watching an Amish Sewing Circle. Now dude...The Orion Girl lived in the script, bring her back! Give the People What They Want...Green Broads!

Bob, take some time to enjoy the Mardi Gras activities in N.O.
by Joe Plumber
I was at Mardi Gras twice in my younger party years. Great times. Have a Hurricane and a Po'boy for me.

You guys filming in N.O? Ya gotta save a bundle back there...
by conspiracy
...plus I'd think the working environment might actually make the days/nights more productive...away from the L.A. Scene.

Interesting thing I've noticed about Conspiracy Theories...
by conspiracy
While American's and most Europeans by and large, Left, Right, Red, Blue, buy their "sides" Official view of the world without question...people who were not raised in the "1st world" always view ALL Government with some suspicion and distaste.....and rightfully so.

I don't know if we need a Cardassian named, 'Kim', but it would be funny if Scotty said, "I'm doing my best, Captain, keeping up with the Cardassians!"
by Joe Plumber

Or there's a high-warp-speed chase and Kirk yells out, "Sulu! Keep up with the Cardassians!"
by Al
Oh please pleas please let it happen somewhere.

people in the 3rd world have excelent reasons to distrust and be suspicious of their governments. As for conspiracy theories, most of them are just sily shit. one of my favorite to despise is thye stupid bullshit of the moon landing hoax. it's hillarious, it's stupid beyond belif. The people with so many conspiracy theorists is that they presume just because they have an anti-goverment attitude they are automatically smart and good guys. which is just bullshit. it takes far more then just that. if anything, so often the conspiracy theory circles invite the type of people who do not think. who take things as dogma, and will not change their mind even if faced with hardcore facts. like the aforementioned moon landing hoax crowd. As for the kennedy assassination thing, it's as facitul the notion that there was just one shooter as the notion that Lee Harvey Oswald had nothing to do with it. LHO was one of the shootists, among others. They got one, 2 or 3 others escaped. Fun fact, there's some who think that one of the other shootists was one hitman called Charles Harrelson. He was Woody Harrelson's father. Died in jail in 2007 of coronary and advance age where he was serving life sentence for the assassination of Judge John H. Wood, Jr in 1979. On a very uncanny note, that assassination is mentioned in both the book and movie NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the later which stared Woody Harrelson. Mind boggling, hem?

see the back of the ship as it flies away from you, it clearly looks like a Cardassian ship as seen in DS9.

Lens manufacturers have spent MILLIONS over decades developing rare earth lens coating to reduce or eliminate lens flare, only to have demented directors ignore this and deliberately reintroduce flare because they think it's 'artsy'. Feh. Ditto the MILLIONS spent developing image stabilizers only to have directors ignore this in favour of 'photography by epileptics' (a.k.a. 'the highly irritating 'shaky-cam').

starwolf, completely agree, but J.J.'s lens flares aren't even real
by Joe Plumber
they're added in post production via iMovie's video filters. I actually would have less of a problem with them if they were generated naturally via a lens and light. At least there would be some art involved.
