Star trek resurgence delayed11/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Dramatic Labs went on to state that they are "planning to release Star Trek: Resurgence in April 2023 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox". As Jara Rydeck remarks, “As we take our next steps into the unknown, the greatest insights that lie ahead are what we learn about each other.Dramatic Labs, the developers behind the upcoming release of Star Trek: Resurgence, have announced that it will be delayed until April of 2023.Taking to their official Twitter account to confirm the delay, Dramatic Labs said, "we have made the difficult decision to move our release date out of 2022 in order to give the game a final coat of polish, and create a truly immersive Star Trek experience". ![]() The choice to be better today than we were yesterday, to accept one another, to try and do the right thing. And that’s what Star Trek is really about: choice. I wish certain storylines had more closure, and I would love some version of a chapter select, but by the time the credits rolled I was satisfied with the choices I’d made and entertained by the wide variety of Trek-flavored minigames, and already thinking about what I’d do differently next time. ![]() The choices are almost never easy, but the lack of a morality system or any indication of what you’re “supposed” to do creates a sense of freedom to act how you imagine these characters would. This is a series that fundamentally believes in doing the right thing and treating others with compassion, and that’s reflected by the many well-written decisions you’re presented with here. Resurgence does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of Star Trek. I'd say give it a go if you're a Star Trek or general SciFi fan, or if you love telltale games and you've already played all their games and are hungry for more. Still, the game is overall a bit hard to recommend. That being said, I did have a very good time with it, especially as the story progressed and decisions started to matter more. The game would be perfect for the "we have telltale at home" meme format, as it's trying to be a telltale game, but doesn't manage to reach the same quality. There's shooting sections as well that are quite janky, because your camera wouldn't stay where you're aiming, but constantly pushes you back to the center of the screen, which didn't feel good. Gameplay is also fairly bland, consisting of choosing one of up to three decisions, doing some simple quicktime events, interacting with objects and performing little mini-games. It all feels very unpolished, and probably could've benefited from being delayed for half a year or longer to improve PC performance and cut down on the jank. Subtitles don't match voice lines frequently, and sometimes the background audio just skips to the next track, or feels very out of place. Also they sometimes start and cut out at very awkward and almost comedic times throughout the game. On top of that, animations look quite bad, especially facial animations. ![]() Granted, it's not the most up-to-date hardware, but it should be more than enough to handle a game that looks like this. The game struggled to maintain 30FPS on an 8th gen i5 and a GTX 1070, and slowed down to single digit fps at one point in the game. Frequently I thought the game looked worse than an Xbox 360 era game, while performing worse than modern games that look a lot better. Graphically it's a very mixed bag, sometimes looking pretty, but mostly looking like an early PS4 game, and not a pretty one at that. The game is overall very janky, and riddled with issues. The voice acting was good, but would sometimes cut out during dialogue and skip to the next scene. The writing of the main story is fairly solid, while the characters are somewhat mixed, with some good and some bad outliers, but overall they were alright. The story and freedom of decision making are the strongest points of the game, letting you live out your dream of playing through a very old school Star Trek drama, with opposing factions, a few small plot twists, and a looming conflict that you need to solve. 9h 19m PlayedA telltale-esque game with a great 90s Trek narrative, mostly solid although sometimes awkward dialogue, and lots of rough edges. ![]()
