Hello friends.

I would like to let you know that we will be keeping tabs on ST:Legacy, along with the other 2 games.
Any new developements, you can find it here!
(if not, then feel free to post the info here)

New Star Trek games do out soon, all by Bethsoft and Maddoc (and associates).


Star Trek: Legacy - For PC and XBOX36
Star Trek: Tactical Assault - For Nintendo DS and Sony PSP
Star Trek: Encounters - For Sony PS2


Let me start off with the overviews and a link to the official site.

Star Trek:Legacy
Code:
STAR TREK: LEGACY is an epic game of Starfleet combat spanning the 
entire Star Trek Universe, featuring all the ships from every episode, 
every film. Players become the Admiral of a task force of warships and 
must lead their fleet to victory in large-scale battles complete with 
stunning visuals and special effects.

Gameplay
As the Admiral of the Fleet you choose the ships, equipment, and 
captains that you will lead into battle. The game is designed to 
provide dramatic large-scale battles with easy-to use controls. 

Key Features

The quintessential Trek Experience. 
Legacy covers all 40 years of Trek, the first game ever to do this: 
The Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, 
and Enterprise. Storyline by renowned Star Trek writer D.C. Fontana 
with her partner Derek Chester. Voiceover provided by all five captains.
Stunning Next-Gen Graphics.
Beautiful space environments filled with fully realized nebulas, 
wormholes, planets, and stars. Highly realistic ship models that 
look as good (or better) than the ones in the films and shows. 
Real time Starfleet combat. 

Engage in large-scale combat with dozens of warships fighting 
massive battles. Extensive multiplayer with full Xbox Live support.
From small-scale engagements to all-out war involving multiple star 
systems. Matchmaking, stat tracking, and player rankings on Xbox 
Live. Single player Federation campaign. 
Spanning three full epochs (Enterprise, The Original Series, and The 
Next Generation). Detailed weapon effects and damage modeling. 
Weapons searing with energy and charged shields that surge with 
every hit. Ships with full damage modeling that break apart, strewing 
debris and sparks. Over sixty ships and four playable races.
From small scouts and light cruisers to fearsome battleships. Command 
the powerful fleets of the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Borg races. 
All beautifully rendered with the latest technology

Star Trek:Tactical Assault
Code:
Star Trek: Tactical Assault is a real-time spaceship combat game for 1 
or 2 players, featuring a wide array of authentic Star Trek races, ships, 
and weaponry from the universe of the original Star Trek series. Players 
take command of powerful Federation and Klingon warships and must 
outthink and out duel their opponents in order to succeed. Play through either 
the Federation or Klingon campaigns in single-player mode or go head-
to-head against a friend in wireless multiplayer action. 

Key features:
Based on the films of The Original Series. 
Space is the final frontier, Kirk is in command, and the Klingons are the 
bad guys. Play through the era that started it all with this classic Star 
Trek game. Real-time combat involving multiple warships.
The true test of a Captain is his ability to act under fire. Every 
second counts as you attempt to out-maneuver enemy warships and 
expose their weaknesses while protecting your own. Two full campaign
 modes. 
Become a hero of the Federation or a champion of the Klingon Empire 
in two full-length, independent campaigns. Branching missions with 
multiple outcomes. 
You are in command. As the Captain, it is up to you to make the best decisions 
for your crew. With a multitude of paths to choose from, you 
will decide the direction and ultimate outcome of your campaign. Head-
to-Head wireless multiplayer. 
Test your skills and tactics against the most challenging opponents 
you’ll find… your friends. Five playable races.
In Skirmish and Multiplayer modes, command ships from the Federation,
 Klingon, Romulan, Gorn, and Orion fleets. Each fleet has its own combat 
philosophy, strengths, and weaknesses. Tactics that lead to victory for 
one race will result in disaster for another.

Star Trek:Encounters
Code:
STAR TREK : ENCOUNTERS is a shoot ‘em-up arcade style space 
combat game featuring ships, characters, and weapons from 40 
years of Star Trek. Take command of your starship and blast 
through the universe, defending your vessel and demolishing your

The one thing about the description of Legacy that I do agree with is:

Game Description said:
Highly realistic ship models that
look as good (or better) than the ones in the films and shows.

No low poly ship can be batter than the super detail models that are seen in the shows. The only thing that the description above could be relating to is the TOS ships due to the new technology we have now that we didn't have in the 1960's and 70's.

All in all its great to see new Trek games. I may buy a system to be able to play Tactical Assault. :)
