How is there not a Mass Effect style Star Trek game?

How?!

Seriously. Star Trek's diplomacy, away teams and ship battles would make for a perfect Star Trek style game.

Guys, I just had a vision of the game that should be made: Sid Meier's Star Trek.

That pun isn't new.

BTW, I like the original Star Trek, and RPGs. But I hated the J.J. reboot, lens flare, and cover-based third-person shooters. So what I'm saying is that I'm not going to buy this game because I'm a hater.

Wow. That looks like a completely bog-standard third person shooter, with neck pinching.

Not until I see something interesting, thanks.

Not enough shoddily made costumes or jazzy music to be Star Trek.

The Gorn are the enemies. I will buy this game for that reason alone. If they show up in the new film I might just go into a fanboy coma.

Don't they have, you know, red shirts to do the fighting, rather than the captain and the first mate?

In Kirk-era it was mostly 3 main guys and a red shirts to be killed on away missions

To poeple saying this is like Mass Effect...

Go watch the new Star Trek movie, and then watch Star Trek Voyager.

You can practically see the dialog wheel and the squad selection screen pop up in Voyager, which I feel like I need to remind you, was in the mid-to-late-90s.

@Sweetz: Agreed, even the art direction seems to be more video game than Star Trek. Even with the high saturation of Abrams Star Trek, this really does not capture the feel or look of that film or any other.

Alas, I the Star Trek game of my dreams is impossible to make in reality.

@bko: Rentals are vastly different from what they used to be, I'd hardly call gamefly a traditional rental service since it's that weird subscription type deal. Also Redbox doesn't exist everywhere in the world, I've never even seen an image of one let alone seen one in real life, I know zero people who use them as well.

@Irvandus: Think they did with the Star Trek MMO on the PC. Pretty fun.

After seeing this I'm glad to see more Star Trek decent looking games but still mixed thoughts on how much I enjoy the new reboot film of the franchise.

This doesn't look like Mass Effect, I would be happier if it did. I don't see any conversations or exploration elements. Instead looks like a tightly scripted action game along the lines of Uncharted. I'm fine with that style of game, but it's not what I want from Star Trek game, even if it is in line with the action heavy tone of the new movies :(

There's a Star Trek Mass Effect? Why? If I recall correctly, the special thing about Star Trek is that there is very little shooting at all. Ship combat yes, but very few firefights. It's one of the reasons Star Trek Online doesn't feel particularly Star Trek-esque, because you're constantly fighting enemies.

Let me give you some advice guys: Star Trek is a lot like Mass Effect - my reasons for liking both universes has nothing to do with wanting to play a cover-based third-person shooter.

Well-said.

People still rent video games?

I love this "People still [X]?" thing people do now. Because they always do it as a way to sound like they're too cool to [X], and they always end up just looking clueless instead.

Yes, Redbox and Gamefly are still around. I know, crazy right.

Back on topic: Game looks incredibly uninteresting. Just another safe, unimaginative third person cover shooter-by-numbers.

I'd love a Star Trek Mass Effect style RPG. That's kinda why I've been sticking with Star Trek Online, on the whole it's not great, but there have been some really good user created missions that have had an Mass Effect-ish feel to them. If they could only make the universe feel coherent and open for you to explore it could've been great, even with it's poor ground combat.
