No Star Trek Movie Game From Bethesda Softworks

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:09, 31 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

FiringSquad has learned that publisher Bethesda Softworks, the current owner of the video-PC game rights to the Star Trek franchise, will not be publishing a game based on the upcoming J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek prequel movie. Company spokesperson Pete Hines confirmed this news with FiringSquad today, but said "Really interested in seeing the movie though. If anyone can make that movie awesome, it would be J.J. Abrams."

Hines also stated that Bethesda Softworks's sister company, the new MMO based developer ZeniMax Online Studios, will not be taking over the development of Star Trek Online. Hines said "I don't believe that is anything that we or ZOS is interested in or actively pursuing. " he said.
 
When asked if Bethesda Softworks was going to continue publishing Trek games or if it would let its current license expire, Hines only told FiringSquad cryptically, "TBD."
 
The original report is here.

Conquest for PS2 was alright. Legacy was pretty but sucked ass, same goes for Encounters. Why couldn't they mix up the gameplay. Have some space combact and maybe a first person shooter, an rpg type thing going next time. They made the Oblivion series, would it not have been cool to actually roam around the Romulan empire and do cool shitt?! Would it not have been awesome to have a combact going inside a ship when being boarded like in Star Trek Voyager elite force. The gameplay was too same/same, but Conquest for the PS2 kinda changed that a bit. It was actually fun and my nephews love it. :D
