They’ve repeatedly said this isn’t the case though. There’s some of that interspersed with other more interactive sessions like flying shuttles and phaser fights.
I’ve rewatched the trailer (haven’t since it first came out) it still looks very basic, even with those parts. Sorry but it does.
No apologies necessary. It doesn't really matter how basic it is, or how basic you think it is. They're working on it longer and we're all better off for it, even the ones who don't think they are.
^ They also mostly subsisted on licensed properties rather than any original properties of their own, which had to be crazy expensive.
Well, I gave credit to Telltale for at least doing games that were more interesting than everyone else's (MMO)RPGs and shoot 'em ups.
Telltale over extended way too quickly. Their games were all the same and they just started pumping out the same formula. It was never sustainable, not to mention some of the games just stunk or were a weird choice. We got a Minecraft one and a Game of Thrones one no one remembers! They barely marketed them it felt like.
Yeah, they really did extend themselves quickly. It seemed they took on nearly every franchise they could at one point. I preferred their earlier point-and-click style games. The last of that type from them that I played was the Back to the Future game, then around the time the Jurassic Park game came out was when they changed their formula to be more like interactive stories. Under the old format, I think Telltale would have been perfect to do an episodic Star Trek game which would have put it in line with the TOS games in the way they were structured.
I really hope that Resurgence will be the beginning of a new era. It has to be really good, because I want new Trek games. Two years ago I started playing ST: Online but it became so repetitive that I lost interest in it. I miss the time of BC, Elite Force, Armada, SF Command 3... those were all really good.
Only 12 weeks left before this game is launched and nothing, not even some updates on how it is going from the devs, which at this point is not looking good as when a game is this quiet this close to launch it usually means the publisher has decided to not spend a penny on advertising, which is usually not a good sign, so what has happened with the game from 12 months ago when they were happy to push it, until now when this close to launch and nothing?
Well that Star trek Prodigy game that was released in October 2022 on steam, has a peak player count of 8 since its launch, so i wonder if that has impacted on this game or the publishers view on it.
