Star Trek: DAC dated for PC, PS3 News

PC PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

10 September, 2009

Paramount Digital has announced the November release of top-down shooter Star Trek: DAC for PC and PS3.

This was released for Xbox Live Arcade back in May and was rubbish. But this new version may be significantly better.

That's because developer Naked Sky is adding more ships, introducing configurable AI settings, and stuffing in new game modes and stereoscopic 3D support for PC. The latter is handled through some NVIDIA's 3D VisionTM 3D Stereoscopic experience thingy.

Incidentally, that PC version of Star Trek: DAC will be available on Steam.

Star Trek: DAC offers use of the canonical fleet of spaceships for a big old laser-fight in the sky. Its November release happens to coincide with the DVD launch of the latest Star Trek film, which arrives on 16th November.

I really enjoy Star Trek D-A-C, I still play it (in fact I was on it yesterday). I couldn't argue with people saying it's rubbish though, there are a whole lot of far better games for the money. But it is pretty sweet sweeping in piloting a Romulan Bomber and taking out 3 huge Constitution-class ships before engaging cloak and getting out of there :)

I like the rather blunt summary there!

I enjoyed the demo. Basic as hell, but fun all the same.

and still cost more than in retail stores, despite having next to zero shipping, storage and packaging costs...

zing!

It might if you could buy it in a retail store, which you can't. Just a thought :P

But this new version may be significantly better.

I will go at on a limb here and say that no, it wont.
