Star Trek VR Game Plans [Jun 12, 2016, 10:07 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Ubisoft tweets
about plans to show off a Star Trek VR game at E3 (thanks
GameInformer). They point to
a story on ABC News about the game, which will simulate being on the bridge
crew of a starship, with VR allowing the illusion of operating a computer while
you are actually merely operating a computer. Word is we'll get a first actual
look at this tomorrow, and in the meantime, here's a bit from the article:
"Bridge Crew" utilizes a VR headset and hand-held controllers to boldly mimic seated players' heads and hands on the virtual bridge, providing 360-degree views and the ability to complete such tasks as activating the warp drive, scanning foreign objects in space and broadcasting relevant imagery to the ship's viewscreen. Urban, whose character rarely mashes buttons on the bridge, came away with an appreciation for his cast mates.
"In a funny kind of way, it gave me a new understanding for the reality of what we as actors pretend to do in our jobs," said Urban, who will reprise his role as McCoy on the big screen in "Star Trek Beyond" on July 22. "When you're playing the game, it's almost like you're not pretending. You're actually doing it. In some ways, it's one step closer to the experience."

I wish it would simulate beyond just the bridge like going on away missions in shuttles or via transporter.
*pre-orders immediately*
I was always a Beverly Crusher-type myself...hmm, to each their own, I suppose...

I want a TOS Bridge Commander... Preferably either the '60's Bridge or the STII Bridge.
Get your games from GOG DAMMIT!
Damn all your guys' pessimism. Anything that lets me feel like I'm on the bridge of a starship and controlling it sounds awesome in my books. Obviously the gameplay has to be varied enough to make it worthwhile, hopefully they'll take some cues from Artemis Bridge Simulator.
Well the whole VR "thing" just popped up on my radar. Looking forward to more things like this.VR isn't the panacea and a better way to play everything. But in some respects it's incredible. My HTC Vive is a huge hit with everyone, and the kids constantly play it. It's not just a fun new thing and every new game is getting better at understanding its capabilities and limitations.

With a damaged Panzer still hunting 'The Haunted Tank' and Gus out of ammo, Jeb knew there was only one option, "Slim, RAM!"
[...] with VR allowing the illusion of operating a computer while you are actually merely operating a computerThat cracked me up :)

I honestly think this would be fun for about an hour, and then once the immersion novelty wears off, it'd probably get boring as shit.
Exactly. This is yet another VR demo. There's zero actual game per se.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE (except for the fact that I don't have a VR device and really don't want one).
Couldn't we just get a updated Bridge Commanderwith VR?
I'd settle for an updated BC.
