How do games like this work? Just how far can you get without spending a dime?
The only article I could find:
https://www.destructoid.com/star-trek-online-console-editions-won-t-have-cross-play-361396.phtml
Says there will be no cross play. Not even character transfers.

They didn't for Neverwinter so I doubt they will for this.

Thnx!
Thnx!
WTF WAAAAAAAAAAAAT
This is a dream come true I never even considered!
I'm OK with this, fresh community!! (Cross-Play with new XBO players would have been nice though...)

I found myself randomly thinking about STO the other day just as a curiosity so sure, why not. I'll check it out.
Make it so! I wasn't expecting this one until later this year.
Edit:
Does it require a PS+ subscription? The store page says it does but the Destructoid article says nope because it's F2P.

If it's F2P it shouldn't. I can't think of any F2P games on PS4 that need PS+.
Not that far.
It's as f2p as it gets. You can get by without spending a dime, but it's sort of meh.
Personally, STO turned me off of the F2P model. It's not a "bad" game or "bad" example of F2P, it's just really "F2P", with some pay to win elements in there as well.
And Canada, if not implied by that.
Yes, it's focused mainly on story missions (including ones made by players). It's a better Star Trek adventure game than it is an MMO.

Would be well suited for consoles imo

Awesome, I really hope they bring Champions Online next, that game is amazing! It's my favorite MMO of all time!

It's very soloable. The stuff you need to have parties for are all endgame. And it's definitely more story/lore oriented game.
I would 100% play that!
Also whats the new way to PM a mod with a title change, I miss the old 'users online' page

Nice I am definitely downloading this. I wonder if there is any Star Trek Voyager content in this game...
Is there a resolution difference between the Xbone and PS4 version?

Is it? in the market for a superhero mmo, last one I played was CoH
I think I'd rather just see HD KOTOR or even KOTOR 2.
I'm still waiting for KOTOR 3.
It's happening you guys.
Any second now the great KOTOR 3 will rise from the KOTOR patch and bestow its blessings on those fans whose wait has been most sincere.
I have a PC with an Xbox One controller I can map the buttons for and make work with any PC game, including SWTOR. Yet for some reason, I would be excited at the idea of it coming to consoles.

Played through most of this solo (I havnt finished some of the newer eps)
I love how much the game respects the lore from the past shows. If you watched them you'll start seeing lots of references and other stuff. They even base entire arcs on one-off episodes from TNG and Voyager.
Still dont care for the ground combat though. Maybe they can make improvements for the console version but I would sometimes encounter bugs and quests not working right during ground segments. Ship stuff is awesome though.

My Review for ACG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmUGT9X7Kmo
Spent about 30 hours in it for the review.
Pros
Core game-play is spot on
Lighting engine change
Controller based combat works for the most part
Cons
Flick targeting isn't great especially on ground
Ground combat is still the ugly duckling in all ways
Some FPS drops but no where near Neverwinter
Verdict: Not a fan of a few things but love the change over to the Consoles
Now I want Secret World so bad I can taste it as well as SWTOR

For those who are wondering if this game is any good, the ground combat is ass but the space combat is really fun. You also get to do captain-type things like pick your bridge officers and give assignments to your crew.
There is a ton of content based on all of the Trek shows. Even Enterprise, which is a prequel, gets a ton of ships in the game.

I was a PC player for about 3 years, 2 of which was f2p. I'm definitely jumping back in. The story is wonderful and is really a must play for Star Trek fans at the very least.
The story basically follows up the movie where vulcan is destroyed but also has plots involving pretty much every other Star Trek show.

Calls all of GAF dishonest then says just his opinion. Ok.

Best? Don't hype me up, only to be severely let down
Solid game for trekkies. I always liked the ship combat, it's no starfleet academy but it does hit the right spots on a lot of areas with combat. The downfall would be away missions and combat but still its serviceable. The story is great.
