Cryptic boards Star Trek Online

wow its not WoW, cant wait

This game could be so good if they do it right....i don't really want to get my hopes up after they were dashed by Legacy though...

Star trek Online is a universe i'd be willing to live in ! I'm so happy that it's not dead...let's hope the game is half-decent, that's all it'd take for me to play it, at least for a while.

Hm. My previous comments got a lot of negative ratings. I didn't say anything about Star Trek. So does that mean that you other GS users actually LIKE the lame puns Gamespot uses in their headlines?

It almost has to turn out better than Champions. -Please do not release gimpy, tacky, video this time around Cryptic. -And no Gamepad.

It's awesome this game is back on track! It seems like a great concept for a game, although I was a little disappointed the read that it was going to be launching the player straight into space combat. I kind of liked the idea that you started out as a character who was just a cadet, and worked you way up through the ranks. Each spaceship could then be 'guild owned' and your team would have to work together to run it. I'm sure they would have thought of this too when they planned it out. I just hope it's definitive enough not to be mistaken for an EVE clone.

I have been looking forward to this game since it was announced some 4 years ago. I am in agreement that there have been many Star Trek games that have been middle to mediocre. Bridge Commander for the pc was one of the most enjoyable and ahead of its time. However, this current title could be excellent and bring in for example the Mass Effect crowd. I loved that game also and am looking forward to seeing more of the sequel. Take note Paramount - support this game properly - if you get this wrong after the publicity its had you cause untold harm to the franchise for years to come. And with regards to cross function between consoles and pc's I like a few people out there have an xbox 360 and a laptop and play different games on both. Mostly I play strategy on the pc and action on the 360. However, I prefer playing on the 360 and usually only buy for the pc when it is NOT AVAILABLE on the 360. Forget the nonsense about Trekkers this could be one of the games of the early noughties if developed and supported properly. Take heed Mass Effect - I would still be playing your game for the xbox 360 if the download content was still being added. I will buy Microsoft points each month for current games if the add on content is good enough. Right now many game companies where download content are concerned are still playing with us - instead of giving us gamers what we want.

Hmmmm.... So along with the license, they passed along the code?? SWEET! I'm not sure if this is an MMO that I want to get into. That all depends on the fees and the gameplay. This could turn out really good with Cryptic taking the reins and fine-tuning the game.

AWESOME!!! I am so happy that Cryptic is working on this! City of Heroes is one of the best MMO's out there, and they clearly know how to launch a game and support it's community.

Hopefully it won't be all flight simulation... Elite Force style would be cool.

Jack Emmet and the gang at Cryptic have pulled off decent product before (City Of Heroes/Villians) because they "Get It" when it comes to both the balance of experience and gameplay. I have faith this license is going to be done decently and with little to no issues.

Sweet, cant wait for gameplay!!

Hm, if I do get into a sci-fi themed MMO, its gonna be tough to pick between SGW and STO. Hell, can I pass up Warhammer?

Shields up. Brace for the nerds that are about to smash into the gaming world.

I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully we'll see it... Now to get to "The Star Trek Experience" in Las Vegas before they close that down too.

Yeah... I want to know more information before leaning one way or another. I guess at the StarTrek Conv. we will hear more.

Why must the gaming world be cursed and despoiled by what must be the nerdiest, lamest TV licence ever created? And Star Trek ceased being a good sci-fi show decades ago, now it's just unbearably cheesy and cliched' - so bad in fact that dear Patrick Steward got severe depression while filming the series.

pllleeeeaaaseee... for the love of god, please start interviewing these people.. bring us more startrek online.. plleeaaase

Crypic is probably the best MMORPg game developers in the business, at least in terms of overall game quality. (Certainly not in popularity - they make MMORPG fine dining, not MMORPG Big Macs.) It's really good news to hear that the Star Trek MMORPG license is in their hands.

Good news at last.. hope it'll worth waiting..

It'd be great if the exploration feature would look like Mass Effect and the spaceship battles like Bridge Commander.

Jesus, what's with all the haters? I can understand if you're not a Trekkie, but where is everyone getting off flaming Trek? It's only the mother of all Sci-Fis. This is awesome news. As long as it has better controls than that god-awful Legacy game I'll be devoting the majority of my time to this when it comes out.

Set your phasers for crap. Star Trek Sucks.

Who cares, really? Star Trek is lame always has been always will be... but hey I guess there are fans for this type of thing out there

never played it but this sounds interesting

This is the best news! StarTrek MMORPG has been dead for a while and it looked like it could be a great online game... Thank god a company who has an idea about MMORPG will now produce it, because it has a lot of potential. I'll admit I'm a Star Trek fan, but I would not play that game hoping for something as good as the best episodes, I would do it for the fun of having to cooperate with a bunch of other players to fight in the biggest ships of the fleet or to go onto away missons. I always thought that it's a sure hit game if done right, let's hope Cryptic has a solid back and nerves of steel because Star Trek fans are tired of sub-par games for their favorite license... I won't throw a fit if it's still not "the" Star Trek game I think all the fans deserve, but I'll sure keep ready to try that game if it does end up a reality before i knock it down... I know someday there will be a great Star Trek game, I just hope that it could that one... We'll see I guess...

I wonder, will you play it starting as fresh cadet out of Starfleet Academy, or do you start as your own captain.

Considering the quality games Cryptic studios has developed in the past, this should come to many as very good news.

Yay. It looks like this game will actually get made. As a Trek fan that makes me very happy.

Gruug, You have a point... Legacy was made for Console & PC and it was a very poor excuse for a star trek game imo. Consoles lack on things like this, if its going to be done properly anyway. Been looking foward to this game since day 1, can only hope its done properly & not all "eye-candy" cinematic camera angles and no substance like legacy was.

I hope this one is as good as its supposed to be. I have been a fan of startrek since I was a kid many years ago lol. Anyways. I have always been a trek e and cant wait for this.

can you say too little too late? I have been waiting for a DECENT Star Trek game for over 20 years, and all I have to show for ir is a handful of really bad games. Star Trek is really TOS and TNG, the rest was filler **** I can't wait for the new movie though. . . you would think that they would base this on the Star Trek that is gonna take us into the 21 century.

From the StarTrekOnline.com site- "Powered by the Cryptic Engine, Star Trek® Online will be developed for both console and PC formats." What caught my eye "developed for both console and PC formates". Not particularly a good thing in my opinion. I will hold off total judgement till I see what they come up with but cross platform is NOT what I am looking for in this game.

Woot I'm so happy, I was realy upset when PE died... because STO died with them (well not realy but it was a major setback).

wow i wanna play this game online

its about time

Champions Online in spring of next year? That's not too far away. I love City of Heroes, which has only gotten better - wonder if I'll play Champions. Not nearly enough time to play all of these massive games.

I just want to say that as a Trekkie I totally loved the first paragraph in this article... Awesome.

I wonder if this will turn out like Eve did... which was not very good...

I had high hopes for Star Trek Legacy and it turned out to be crap. I wish this game will be great, but I fear it won't. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the Star Wars KotOR MMO.

hmm not too interested. but jj abrams new star trek movie definitely interests.

i wish they made a battlestar galactica mmo

Just die JRam89. This is old news, but I'm glad to see the ball is still rolling for this game. This is my most anticipated game right now, and I don't even like MMOs.

How about you stick to developing 1 MMO and make it good, then go after another once that one is going well, then a few years later release the other.

I Hate all MMOs!

looks pretty good the image!

Neat

Yuck_Too said "...things always slow down...so I'm taking a month off...so you'll have to defend the 360 in my absence." Have no fear. I'm on it!
