Virtual Star Trek: The Next Generation Recreation Pulled After Cease & Desist

For fans of Star Trek the release of Star Trek: Bridge Crew was a dream come true, finally giving fans the chance to step into the role of a Starfleet officer aboard one of the most famous spaceships in all science fiction. For one group of fans however, the release of Star Trek: Bridge Crew heralded the end of a passion project.

Stage-9 was a fan project which had been ongoing for two years, which aimed to recreate the Enterprise-D as depicted in Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show.

The detailed virtual reality (VR) recreation was built using Unreal Engine 4, and could be explored using HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, or fans could simply use a monitor for a 2D view of the ship. The recreation allowed users to travel in turbolifts to the various decks, enter rooms, interact with objects and even fire a phaser.

However, after receiving a cease and desist letter from CBS, the head of the project, identified online as ‘Scragnog’, was forced to pull the project after failing to reach a compromise with the CBS lawyers.

Though Star Trek in all its various forms are of course owned by CBS, Stage-9 made it clear from the outset that it was not an officially licensed project, was not affiliated in any way with CBS or Paramount and the VR creation was, in effect, simply elaborate fan art, since they creators were not making any money from the project.

Scragnog said in a statement that the team became concerned when the Star Trek: Next Generation DLC was released for Star Trek: Bridge Crew earlier this year. “Internally this was an exciting development, but at the same time it concerned us,” Scragnog said, going to to explain that the Stage-9 crew had been hoping to pitch the project to CBS. “Throughout all of this we knew it could end at any point.”

Scragnog released a video explaining the situation and making an emotional goodbye to the Stage-9 project, that video statement can be viewed below.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew – The Next Generation DLC für PSVR, Rift und Vive erschienen

Die erste Erweiterung für Star Trek: Bridge Crew – The Next Generation ist nun offiziell für PlayStation VR (PSVR), Oculus Rift und HTC Vive erschienen. Der DLC integriert ein neues spielbares Schiff, zusätzliche Spielmodi sowie Romulaner und Borgs als Gegner in das Weltraumabenteuer.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew – The Next Generation für PlayStation VR (PSVR), Oculus Rift und HTC Vive veröffentlicht

Der neue DLC Star Trek: Bridge Crew – The Next Generation von Entwicklerstudio Red Storm Entertainment ist seit wenigen Tagen erhältlich und sorgt mit neuen Zusatzinhalten für Abwechslung im Sci-Fi-Universum.

Mit der Erweiterung integrieren die Entwickler/innen ein altbekanntes Raumschiff, dass besonders bei Trekkies der frühen 90er Jahre nostalgische Gefühle auslösen sollte. Die Spieler/innen können ab sofort innerhalb der U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D Platz nehmen und in die Fußstapfen des Captain Jean-Luc Picard sowie seiner Crew treten.

Für mehr taktischen Tiefgang müsst ihr nun innerhalb eurer Stationen Operationen zuweisen, die einen maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Fähigkeiten eures Schiffes haben. So gilt es, in zehn verschiedenen Räumlichkeiten eure Rothemden einzuteilen. Dazu zählt beispielsweise der Torpedoraum, der Schildgenerator oder das Astrophysik Labor.

Weiter darf man nun in zwei neue Spielmodi eintauchen. Innerhalb des Patroulle-Modus könnt ihr ähnlich wie im Hauptspiel fortlaufende Missionen erfüllen und die Galaxie nach eigenem Belieben erkunden. Der Widerstands-Modus bringt dagegen mehr Abwechslung: In einem ständigen Kampf gegen die Borgs müsst ihr diverse Ziele erreichen und Module sammeln, um den Kubus der Alienrasse zu vernichten. Wie bereits erwähnt, warten mit dem DLC auch neue Gegner auf euch. Die Romulaner und Borgs sind eure neuen Widersacher, die euch kontinuierlich innerhalb der zusätzlichen Spielmodi entgegen treten.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew – The Next Generation ist für 14,99 Euro im PlayStation Store für PlayStation VR (PSVR) sowie für Oculus Rift und HTC Vive auf Steam und im Oculus Store erhältlich. Das Koop-Sci-Fi-Abenteuer bietet Crossplattform-Support für VR- und Nicht-VR-Spieler.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation DLC Out Now for PC VR Headsets

Probably Ubisoft’s biggest virtual reality (VR) title to date, Star Trek: Bridge Crew arrived last year to worldwide acclaim for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR. Then a couple of months ago the PlayStation VR received an update adding The Next Generation themed DLC, allowing players to enter the universe of Picard and his crew. While PC fans have had to wait, today the DLC has now become available.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew - TNG DLC

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation isn’t just a casual makeover of the original videogame, with all the buttons and switches like the 90’s series. As the DLC is paid for, fans will also get two new mission types, Patrol and Resistance, plus enhancements to the Ongoing Missions mode.

These new missions will see players come face to face with some of Star Trek’s most well known and feared alien races,  long-term federation adversaries the Romulan Empire will appear in Patrol, a mode allowing players to explore openly, encountering enemies and objectives as they travel. As for Resistance the hint is in the name, coming across the ever deadly Borg, will your resistance really be futile? Pursued by a relentless Borg cube, players need to complete a series of objectives to prepare for a showdown against it.

Players who were fans of the Engineering role will now find it replaced with Operations. This role tasks that particular player with assigning crewmembers to different stations to activate features like precision targeting and shield modulation, as well as conducting repairs.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

With the new DLC available for all formats it doesn’t matter if you’re playing on PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, or in a non-VR format as the title is completely cross compatible.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation DLC is available now via the Oculus Store for £12.49 GBP/ £15 USD, and should be available on Steam soon. For any further updates on the title, keep reading VRFocus.

Next Generation DLC Comes To All Star Trek: Bridge Crew Platforms

Next Generation DLC Comes To All Star Trek: Bridge Crew Platforms

The Next Generation expansion to Star Trek: Bridge Crew is now available on PC platforms after launching in May on PS4 and PSVR.

The expansion is selling for around $15 on the Oculus store on top of the base game at $40. The expansion is also expected to launch today on Steam with support for Rift, Vive and Windows-based VR headsets.

Bridge Crew allows up to four players to occupy various roles on the bridge of a starfleet vessel with cross-play support connecting players on different platforms, both inside VR and on traditional screens. The original game included controls and environments themed to match Star Trek: The Original Series and the recent films, but many fans requested The Next Generation.

Today, dreams are coming true for some Star Trek fans.

‘Star Trek: Bridge Crew’ TNG Expansion Lands on Rift, Vive & Windows VR

Star Trek: Bridge Crew (2017) just got its first big content expansion for the PC VR versions of the game, now including the late ’80s, early ’90s-era U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701D—the very same captained by Jean-Luc Picard in the iconic TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994).

Update (July 24th, 2018): The PC version of Star Trek: Bridge Crew TNG Expansion is here. The paid DLC, which costs $15, is available through the Oculus Store (Rift) and Steam (Vive, Rift, Windows VR). The game is said to be cross-platform across all supported devices.

The original article detailing the PSVR launch of TNG DLC follows below:

Original Article (May 22nd, 2018): Created by Ubisoft’s Red Storm Entertainment, the TNG expansion is a $15 DLC which includes two new mission types—Patrol and Resistance, and of course the show’s beloved Bridge, walnut panels and all.

Patrol mode is a bit like the base game’s ‘Ongoing Missions’, letting players roam the galaxy freely and engage in any mission types against the Romulans, while Resistance mode offers the meat of the update—a frenetic cat-and-mouse game against the Borg Cube which takes you on the hunt for three prototype ship modules which ultimately help you defeat the Borg.

A new role, Operations, is also a part of the expansion, which essentially works like a miniature version of FTL (2012) by letting you allocate crew members to 10 different stations: thruster control, main engineering, torpedoes, shield generator, transporter room, astrophysics lab, computer core, phaser control, scanners, and sickbay. These are red shirts, so expect some casualties.

The TNG update will hit HTC ViveOculus Rift, and Windows “Mixed Reality” VR headsets on July 21st 24th. Star Trek: Bridge Crew can also be played on traditional monitors.

The game’s retro launch trailer is certainly a fine touch to what promises to be a nostalgia-induced head trip of Delta quadrant proportions.

PlayStation E3 Keynote Puts Blockbusters Center Stage, Relegating VR to the Sidelines

With mostly prior confirmed PSVR titles presenting at E3 2018, we expected Sony to dedicate a few moments during its E3 2018 keynote to highlight the platform’s upcoming VR games, of course with the understanding that high-profile PS4 titles would mostly overshadow VR titles. Well, that’s a bit of an understatement.

After all was said and done, the only PSVR title to get time on the big stage was the PSVR-compatible title Trover Saves the Universe, a platformer from Justin Roiland’s Squanch Games that supports both PSVR and PS4. As one of the most tepidly-received games to debut at Sony’s patently declamatory presentation (which was first held in church-like venue to show off The Last of Us Part II, and then in a secondary auditorium to show the company’s other big-budget games), the level of evangelization of the platform and its upcoming VR games was lacking to say the least; it was a decisive emphasis on blockbusters over less crucial titles, and therefore PSVR in general.

Image courtesy Squanch Games

Not even Beat Saber, the impressively successful VR indie title that’s done over two million dollars in revenue—practically unheard of for an indie game that hasn’t seen funding support from one of the big VR players—got time on the big stage. At-home viewers were treated to only a few seconds of the game during the intermission while actual attendees of the PlayStation E3 keynote moved from one auditorium to another.

Instead, Sony quietly put out a PSVR highlights reel shortly after the presentation ended, which wasn’t shown during the E3 keynote. Games shown in the video below (in chronological order) include: Trover Saves the Universe, Tetris Effect, Moss, Ghost Giant, Beat Saber, Firewall Zero Hour, DOOM VFR, Creed: Rise to Glory, Evasion, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, The Persistence, Star Child, Skyrim VR, Jupiter & Mars, AstroBot: Rescue Mission, Vacation Simulator, and Superhot VR—many of which were previously known or even launched last year.

Sony has more games coming to PSVR (that much is certain), and there’s also a number of new games being shown at E3 2018 for the platform too. Although unlike Oculus or HTC, Sony’s gaming lifeblood is still inexorably tied to its traditional console titles, and as the PS4 console inevitably starts what PlayStation Chief Tsuyoshi Kodera calls the “final phase of its life cycle,” consolidating that investment where it counts the most—in its big budget console exclusives—makes it clear where the company’s priorities lie.

For comparison, last year’s E3 PlayStation presentation featured six PSVR games presented on stage: Skyrim VR, The Inpatient, Starchild, Monsters of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV, Bravo Team, and Moss, all of which amounted to seven minutes of stage time. It wouldn’t have been hard to sandwich six or seven extra minutes into this year’s presentation, but obviously Sony thought differently for whatever reason. Maybe more and better is coming. Maybe now just wasn’t the time to trumpet its VR platform.

We’ve had the chance to try out many of the newly debuted titles (including Trover Saves the Universe), and it’s clear these games are either commensurate, or above last year’s games in quality, which means really only one thing: Sony has decided to publicly care less about PSVR for now. While good games worth your time are still coming to the platform, the company just didn’t feel like PSVR deserved the limelight this go around—not a guarantee that they’ve given up on PSVR, but noteworthy just the same.

For a VR headset selling at the all-time low of $200 during its ‘Days of Play’ sale, the company really ought to care what new players think though. As the headset becomes more and more affordable, Sony needs to reassure the world even more so that PSVR isn’t a stagnant platform, lest it fall entirely off the radar at the most important gaming expo on the planet. In the end, it’s all a bit of shame, as important and extremely fun titles like Sony Japan Studio’s Astro Bot Rescue Mission finally dial into what makes the platform great, but are completely overshadowed by what the higher-ups most likely considers the safest investments for now.

What to Expect at E3 2018: Ubisoft’s VR Games

Ubisoft has been one of the most prolific virtual reality (VR) publishers amongst the big players in the videogames industry, despite being dismissive of the technology early in the game. With a new update recently launched for Star Trek: Bridge Crew, available now for PlayStation VR and coming soon to PC for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the attention now turns to what is coming next from Ubisoft, and this year’s E3 showcase is a shoe-in for some VR outings.

Trackmania Turbo Screenshot_1

With Werewolves Within, Eagle Flight, Trackmania Turbo and the aforementioned Star Trek: Bridge Crew already under its belt, Ubisoft is ahead of even Bethesda Softworks in the race for most active third-party VR publishers. Is it possible we’ll see one of the company’s big franchises make the jump into VR? Only time will tell on that front, but for now we do at least have some new VR titles to look forward to.

New VR Games

Unlike Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), Oculus VR and others, there’s no certainty that Ubisoft will reveal anything new for VR at E3 2018. There’s a possibility of a home VR version of Virtual Rabbids: The Big Plan – currently only available for Google Daydream – but aside from that, we’re not sure where Ubisoft will go next. More new IP? That’s the dream.

Space Junkies - Key Art

Space Junkies

Speaking of new IP, Ubisoft’s it-came-out-of-nowhere VR title From E3 2017 is almost certain to come back with a vengeance this year. Space Junkies has been bubbling under for quite some time, appearing both at Ubisoft events and at Oculus VR’s own shows, including Oculus Connect 4 and Oculus Unwrapped. We’ll hopefully be seeing something which resembles a near-final product at E3 2018.

Transference

Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision’s VR showcase piece is likely to return at E3 2018, having also been announced at E3 2017 but since having disappeared off the radar. The eerie first-person puzzle title is likely to get hearts pumping when it eventually launches for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR, and with Wood himself set to talk at the E3 Coliseum, you’d be a fool to bet against Transference being both featured in Ubisoft’s press conference and playable at E3 2018.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation DLC Review – To Boldly Go In VR

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation DLC Review – To Boldly Go In VR

When most people think of Star Trek and virtual reality, they’re imagining the holodeck, a staging environment that lets users seamlessly travel to other realities as if they were real. Many companies are on quests to realize something like that with modern VR technology, but Ubisoft isn’t one of them. Instead, in partnership with Red Storm Entertainment, they’re setting their sights on the bridge experience instead.

But in terms of Star Trek as a whole, there is nothing more iconic than the shot of a crew sitting on the bridge of a powerful starship. With last year’s release of Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Ubisoft was successful in delivering one of VR’s most memorable and immersive multiplayer experiences to date. There’s nothing quite like barking orders at your friends, sitting side-by-side as things go spectacularly wrong, or valiantly triumphing over dastardly enemies in the final frontier of space.

When it debuted, you could take command of a crew aboard the new Aegis ship, which is themed as a futuristic vessel with lots of whites and grays and sleek designs similar to the modern era of Star Trek films, or the original Enterprise from the very first Star Trek TV show. But it was missing something extremely important: The Next Generation.

As perhaps the most popular era of Star Trek as a whole, The Next Generation’s bridge and crew are immediately recognizable. So in the form of a DLC pack which includes brand new Ongoing Voyages missions, new enemies, a new player race, a new role to play, and yes, TNG’s iconic bridge, Bridge Crew is getting a major overhaul.

The main draw of this DLC is going to just be the experience of sitting on TNG’s bridge, feeling like your part of the crew, and that general sense of presence that only VR can afford — but that’s only a brief slice of what this expansion offers.

Functionally, the TNG bridge is pretty much identical to the Aegis bridge with regard to the captain, tactical officer, and helm positions, but Engineering has been totally overhauled. Instead, you’ll take on the role of Operations, which is what Data did in TNG’s show. And along with that inclusion is the ability to create Android avatars as well (shown below).

In the Ops role, you’ll not only have to do all of Engineering’s job through re-routing power to different subsystems, charging warp coils, and transporting things onto the ship, but now you’ll also have to  manage the NPC crew across the entire ship to send them out to different areas and start repairs. It’s a game of predictive micromanagement that adds a ton of chaos and helps liven up an otherwise boring role.

The romulans are a fun new enemy to deal with, as they can actually target parts of your ship to disable during fights. Since the player has always been able to do that, this feels like an evening of the scales a little bit. Combat certainly feels more lethal this time around. Romulans can also flee and cloak themselves now as well, making it tough to keep track of them if you’re not agile.

But the real highlight of the new enemies has got to be the borg. There is an entire new mission type that’s specifically focused on fighting an enormous borg cube, fleeing to upgrade your ship, fighting it some more, fleeing to upgrade your ship, and so on until it’s been defeated. And each time you flee the cube gets stronger from learning your tactics making it one of the more intense ways of challenging yourself.

All of the additions that this DLC makes feel great and welcome, but ultimately it’s not that large of an overhaul. The campaign is still untouched, Ops, even after its changes, is still probably the least fun role to play, and the new enemies mostly feel just like the Klingons with a few minor changes. This isn’t to say TNG is a bad piece of DLC — it improves the game and gives us more of what we loved — but it’s also not going to really draw in a new audience other than those holding out for TNG’s bridge to begin with.

Final Score: 7/10 – Good

Star Trek: Bridge Crew’s The Next Generation DLC is pretty special. The attention to detail afforded to the Enterprise-D is mind-blowing, the overhaul to Engineering (now Ops) is much-needed, and the expansion of Ongoing Voyages missions and new enemies add variety to an experience that can otherwise grow stale over time. However, it doesn’t do enough to really shake up or improve the core experience enough to elevate the game as a whole. It’s basically more of the same with slight alterations. Unless you’re a massive fan of The Next Generation and are desperate for more Star Trek: Bridge Crew, you’re not missing out on too much if you give this a pass.


Star Trek: Bridge Crew’s The Next Generation DLC releases today exclusively for PSVR and non-VR PS4 players for a limited time. The Next Generation DLC will also be available for Rift, Vive, Windows VR, and non-VR PC players starting July 21st.
