Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force Preview

GameSpot UK's Star Trek Voyager Elite Force Preview is online offering an illustrated (with screenshots) look ahead at Raven Software's upcoming Quake III engine shooter set in the Star Trek universe. Here's a bit from the preview on what's being done to the Quake III engine (being designed with the multiplayer-centric upcoming Quake III Arena in mind) to accommodate the single-player game:

Elite Force's single-player aspect has forced the addition of improved non-player character AI and the ability to save the game, and it also has a modified special effects system to more accurately reflect the television series.

Despite this seemingly light conversion system, there is no question that Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force is a simple first-person shooter. Half-Life has raised the required standard, and new games ignore this at their peril. Sure enough, Elite Force borrows some important factors from Half-Life. The most obvious of these is the ability to interact with the other characters. Just as you "used" Barneys in Half-Life to carry on a conversation or to help you when necessary, this simple conversation system gets you through some of the set pieces in Elite Force.
