Star Trek Online -- effectively canceled, with LOL screenshots

[Deleted member 4644]

Google Star Trek Online and find the news, the dev team has been laid off.

Look at this screen shot, it looks like PURE SHIT:

Doesn't look that bad?
though I do think the Star Trek universe isn't a great for a MMORPG. It's a bit too uniform and Utopian for such a game.

it looks bad compared to say EVE.

I don't think it really looks that terrible.

To be fair, it *is* develpment. Or should say *was*. I've never beta'd anything that didn't look like virtual crap until it was getting close to release, say the last phase or two of beta when they'd crank up the graphics engines, and add a lot of the "fluff".

Good, STO needed to be killed. It looked like it was going to be utter trash from the day it was announced.

Maybe but a lot of players found Eve boring,what do you want pretty graphics or gameplay?..Personally its nice to have both but I'll take gameplay as my choice between the two(graphics) anytime.

The old: Not as good as = shit!

Come on man. :roll:

Probably wouldn't have played this anyway.

Yeah, um... EVE doesn't look like that on a system that you're actually playing the game on. There's settings applied for taking screenshots specifically.

In honesty, STO didn't look that bad, the first pic was missing some FSAA, but all in all the UI and graphics looks pretty good.

 

[Fox5]

Yeah, compare it to Star Wars Galaxies or World of Warcraft. Sure, it didn't look up to par with 2008 standards, but most people still are running on 2003 era hardware.

not only is EVE boring as hell, but its just a glorified database program.

there's also no way those are actual ingame screenshots of EVE. I've played it and its nowhere near that.

Well EVE didnt look that good until they released the patch in December. It still doesnt look that great beyond the ships. Because the last patch only updated the ships graphics.

I didnt think the shot of the enterprise orbiting looked bad. The ground combat looked kind of 2001 era though.

wtf, those screens look pretty good to me

Those EVE screenshots were taken using the new Trinity engine, and the models are accurate.

I STO ground combat looks like total ass. The ship shot is "ok" but it looks like a cartoon, which is not what Trek is meant to be.

Really?

 

[StinkyPinky]

The graphics look perfectly fine.

 

[Czar]

I would probably end up buying it for one free month and then deciding if its good enough. Looks good to me.

 

[SirStev0]

I was really looking forward to a star trek game...
