Game Star Trek Resurgence - new Star Trek videogame announced

I was reading more PC reviews and unfortunately they did say that even on state of the art setups the game will stutter. Ugh. I was gonna buy the PC version but now I'm thinking of getting the PS4 version.

The high min specs were screaming console pc port, and as one review stated it has no graphics options other than screen res, so another tick for a console to pc port, but on a plus that usually means the console versions themselves might actually run ok if they were made for the consoles from the ground up, and possibly the PC version might only exist because Epic wanted a pc version.........we shall see today when all the versions go live. :-)

You know what, since there is no physical copy at launch for the consoles, and it's digital only for consoles AND PC for now, I might as well just get the PS4 version then since from what I'm reading the PC version is the one that has stuttering while there are no such problems reported for the console versions.
 
PC gaming has gone down hill since the PS2 era, I just keep a decent desktop for work now and use a games console.
 
Have any of you managed to play it yet? I tried the New Zealand hack but it didn't work (did for Hogwarts Legacy).
 
Eagerly awaiting what in-the-trenches gamers think of this. I've read some reviews by "professionals" and it's been a mixed bag. This is generally why I don't read reviews. :)
 
Just purchased the game for the Xbox Series X. Waiting for it to download now.
 
No native PS5 version despite them listing the PS5 as its own platform on their website and in their marketing. You aren't supposed to do that if your game is on PS5 via PS4 backwards compatibility only.

I think I'll hold off and buy it in a few weeks.

Actually just learned that there isn't a way to invert the Y axis for the aiming segments. I will not buy the game until that is patched in.

What a fucking disappointment after these nice reviews.

Well, I've given it a couple hours. It's pretty mediocre so far (in the least-pejorative sense of the word). I'm playing on Windows, and it genuinely feels unfinished. Saying the only graphics setting is the resolution (and a inexplicably limited selection of resolutions, at that. I've got very old Unreal Engine games that I can play at 2.5K or even full 5K resolution) is underselling it. The only settings at all are resolution, dialog/music/effects volume, and subtitles. There's not even a setting for mouse sensitivity, so the whole thing feels like I'm looking around with a boat-anchor attached to my character. Some of the music overpowers the dialog, and doesn't really fit the scene. I've had some glitches with animation (characters flickering between poses), and there's some weird ghosting effect that might be some kind of temporal anti-aliasing gone wrong, and I'm pretty sure at one point I saw the Miranda docked at the starbase duplicated and superimposed on itself. The overall lighting seems very flat, like I'm playing it at a low quality graphics setting (were that I could). Probably the worst thing is a tendency to lock-up when viewing the in-game menu, either when I hit the "Escape" key or click to go to the main menu.

Overall, it feels like I'm playing an early beta. If you told me this was a pre-release preview, I'd be quite excited for how it'd turn out after some polish.

Aside from all that, how do I like the play? Seems good so far. The first officer character is definitely between a rock and a hard place trying to gain the crew's respect while also having to do a bunch of managing upward with the basket-case of a captain. The engineer's storyline is annoying me a touch because I got on someone's shit-list for doing what they wanted because I was trying to get on their good side.
 
I paid £23 via Epic Games on the PC. It came with a discount code. It reminds me of the Telltale Walking Dead games. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Downside is when I pressed Enter to get to the menu, it just froze and cntrl alt delete didn’t wanna work and I had to do a full restart.

I’m going to keep trying. Has the potential to be great fun. It feels like proper TNG era Star Trek! :)
 
Is that game still playable? I thought it was gone.

Yup! It's still on Steam and Ubisoft Connect.

I gotta tell you, the best part of that DLC is when you fight a Borg cube while commanding a Galaxy class ship. It is very difficult (as it should be) to defeat it and I have yet to do it successfully. One day, though!

Have either of you experienced any stuttering yet?

I think in the randomized missions I ended up fighting the Borg as a Constitution class. Unfortunately I can't remember how that ended, with a Borg or Fed victory.
 
People say this all the time. Have we ever seen one make it to 100 and still be in active service?
In canon, Enterprise NX-01 was able to last 100 unscheduled in the episode "".
Going non-canon, STO shows that Captain Kim's USS Rhode Island participates in the Battle of Procyon V. The USS Centaur from DS9/Prodigy serves at New Khitomer in 2769.

Glad to hear! I used to maneuver close to the other Starfleet ships in order to read their registry numbers. But it's extremely difficult to maneuver that precisely and I didn't get all ships done by the time I thought the game had sunset.

EDIT:
Okay, I'm buying it now. The EULA says Mods are permitted - it would be great if there's eventually an out of bounds mod. Imagine getting a good look at all those ships docked at the starbase in the game trailer!

I bought the Xbox version. The PlayStation one was more expensive and seemed only to be the ps4 version. The Xbox is X|S optimised.
I’ll give it a go tomorrow
