Bill Shatner Takes Time Out of His Busy Schedule to Promote New Star Trek Game

That was amazing! Though I am a massive Star Trek fan.

Rubber Lizard is the name of my glam metal band.

Fun fact: William Shatner is 82

that makes me smile too much

The ad looks great, the game looks awful.

This

I'd watch a weekly show with Shatner and the Lizard.

Shatner cracks me up now that he's aware he's Shatner.

@dallas_raines: Wow.... just, wow.

Yeeeeaaaah. This would have been a much better advert if it just stuck to the Shatner stuff.

They should have just done a FMV game with Shatner.

the game looks like it could be good. I mean, the story will most likely be great, but im not so sure about all that gameplay

I just Shat myself.

As much as I am disappointed at how Star Trek is now an alternate timeline, I'm looking forward to the game, even though I'm sure it will receive much hate.

Yep, which means that ad was successful lol

Star Trek - The Video Game is such a generic title, come up with something that doesn't sound like crap

Shatner will never not be fantastic.

God, Shatner is amazing. So old but still has a grasp on what is happening. Boy I LOVE Star Trek. New timeline included. Kirk Captain is best Captain.

That advert made my day

Sold!

Great TV spot for a horrible game.

That game has really come a long way since the original trailer. Originally it looked like a game that'd have good graphics and better-than-average-for-a-licensed-game gameplay. Now it looks like they're trying to hide the gameplay behind Shatner's girth.

I will be amazed if that game doesn't turn out to be hot shit.

@abendlaender: Yeah, It's not great, but I don't think "Star Trek: Generic Subtitle" would be any better.

@development: He's aged better than Nimoy, but I think he's probably had work done.

I'm a bit concerned about how the game looks. That in-game footage looked baaaad. Like, launch title bad.

"Now your over acting." This clip is hilarious.

Yup I'll echo what everyone has already said, great ad but the game looks mediocre.

Sure, made me smile.

First, Aliens: Colonial Marines, then Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, and now...

...this. I guess we'll see, this looks like another game shat out on the heels of franchise popularity though.

William Shatner, the greatest Canadian that has ever lived.

Very amusing though as much as I found the non-game part of this video great, it just makes me want to play more of Star Trek Online instead of the new one.

Hot damn that's the best game commercial in years.

DENNY CRANE.

I fucking love Shatner.

Which is damn insane. I won't look and feel a quarter as good as he's now when I'll be 50.

Great ad, awful game (I'm assuming).

I really wish that, since this might be the last Star Trek game for a while, that they would branch out and try something new. Turning Star Trek into a generic Third Person Shooter appeals to nobody.

This is all right. All the rights!

Commercial is great, game...probably not.

Game looks awful. Ad was awesome, though.

I really want this game to be good, but I know it probably won't be.

still know next to nothing about this, not sure if thats good or bad...

should be a good quick look to check out at least!

Good god man, you're right. It looks like a PS2 game. Kirk with the signature double axe handle makes this video worth it though.

Star trek Bridge Commander..

(sigh)

This was an ad for a game?

Greatest Vidya Jame ad ever

Shattner= the once and future king.

The bridge is your captain.

Awesome ad, I love it!

I can't stand the new cast though so I don't think I can get into the game.

If they actually had a pre-order skin of proper Kirk, or even just current Shatner I'd be pre-ordering right now. I can dream.

Agreed.
