Cutscenes converted to Full HD(assuming the original films still exist), modern graphics and physics but with the same gameplay... now that would just be pure awesome.
Blowing chunks out the saucer section of a Federation starship was so satisfying. I wish that damage system was in Legacy... and Legacy didn't suck so hard in general.
A real damned shame they didn't use General Chang more. Christopher Plummer just delievers a great performance and even David Warner as Chancellor Gorkon. Their characters and personalities...that's what I wished the Klingons were like instead of the mega Viking warrior Klingons we see in TNG, DS9, and Voyager.
This game was much better than Bridge Commander. Imagine if they had applied the same principles with the level of technology that was available when BC was released. Pure awesomeness.
Wow, that trailer was epic! Klingon Academy was one of the best Star Trek games ever put out because it gave some amazing culture boosts to the already well developed Klingons. This and General Chang will forever be some of my favorite sci-fi creations ever.
The Interplay era was the golden age of Trek gaming. You had this, Starfleet Academy, Starfleet Command, 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites, and so forth. While they weren't without their flaws, they were very atmospheric and true to the franchise. Some of the more recent releases are basically just poorly executed clones of popular games with the Star Trek label slapped on as an afterthought.
@SciFi2285 Yes these were the superior games, you not only got a game but you felt like you were watching and participating in a new movie or episode, I still play this to this day
This is a brilliant game but boy was it hard to control without a joystick. Even then it was painful to remember all the shortcuts to transfer energy to a particular system etc. But sneaking upon a Federation fleet and attacking it with disruptors blazing upon the enemies hull...Boy was that a feeling.
change lost his eye early in the game, he was trying to kill the leader of some uprising i forgot the whole story, he transported on his ship they had a fight and he got his eye slashed.
Klingon Academy, Bridge Commander, X-Wing TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance are my favourite space combat simulator games. I like Legacy and Dominion Wars, too, but they aren't that great.
if they could make this remake just as the same but with old an new of all ships an the graphics up to date it would be the most kick ass game just like old but new stuff
Such a great game. To be honest, I'm still amazed that they were able to get Christopher Plummer. He obviously enjoyed Star Trek VI and wanted to reprise his role. Which he did brilliantly.
David Warner, of course, rocked as Chancellor Gorkon, one of the most interesting TOS-era Klingons.
Actually David Warner was great during the video shoot but Christopher Plummer was a prick the entire time. I do love his work though. I worked on that title and it still stands for me as the greatest Star Trek title and capital ship combat game ever.
I agree. Christopher Plummer also had a part in designing his makeup, because he wanted to be the first bald Klingon. Also, he so defines his political era. He's like a Klingon Nixon (if you have read American history that far back LOL)
One of my favorite game trailers of all time! (The game itself isn't bad, either.) ;) Christopher Plummer was superb reprising his role as General Chang.
this was an most AWESOME game >> sadly CD2+3 died on me :-( the good old days, when you had like 2~4 trek games per year ... and now? nothing ... i think that Elite Force 1 was in fact the last good trek game
I remember seeing that trailer on the Starfleet Command disc and nearly crapping my pants with anticipation! And the game Delivered! It was SO awesome! Almost as good as A Final Unity.
Well...Martok kind of lacked the sense of tragedy that surrounds General Chang, And I think Plummers' exposition is a little more caculating than Hertzler, kind of got that sense of a nobility upbringing, compared with a commoner from the Ketha low lands.
Definately better suited to the Shakesperian atmosphere....
You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon
