Like just about everyone else at E3, Ubisoft jumped on the VR bandwagon, and introduced one of their flagship titles, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a multiplayer game where players can control the Enterprise as one of a variety of roles (including Captain, Pilot, Engineer and so on).

The weirdness came when the gameplay reveal showed Star Trek actors Levar Burton, Karl Urban and Jeri Ryan playing the game together with Ubisoft's own David Votypka.

In fairness, it was about as good a way to promote the game as any, and Burton in particular seemed massively into it (even coming out to the E3 stage to further shower love on it). It's a cool idea, but who the hell is going to have a bunch of buddies who have all shelled out on expensive VR tech? We'll have to wait and see how this one fares...
