Star Trek Video Game: Mega Preview & Interview With SVP Of Paramount Brian Miller

Villains

rsz_the_gorn 15 different types of Gorn are in the game. They range from the standard Gorn Rushers to the much bigger Enforcers. There are even female Gorn to contend with. The bad guy will be a Gorn lieutenant who will serve as the main antagonist but not much else is known about him at this point.

Tech & Weapons

rsz_tech Star Trek The Video Game will have approximately 25 different, in-game weapons. They are either Gorn or Starfleet weapons and are made up of the usual types i.e smaller phasers to sniper rifles etc. Kirk has his own personal weapon called the Captains Phaser which is based on the old style six shooters, apparently to fit in more with his personality. The Tricorder plays a huge part in the game. You scan with it to open doors, scan enemy to find weakness and even to point out your next objective. Like on the show, it is a vital piece of equipment that you will use a lot. Overall, we were left excited after playing the preview. It made us looking forward to getting our hands on the finished product. Influences from Dead Space to Mass Effect are obvious but that's not a bad thing and it's a lot of fun to play. We wont get the complete picture until it's released but Star Trek The Video Game appears to be a movie based game that is actually worth playing.
