A new trailer for Star Trek: Tactical Assault has hit the net. As you may already know, the Star Trek franchise was recently taken over by Bethesda (those guys who did that Elder Scrolls game) and this title is their first entry into the series. While the title has received far more press and raised eyebrows alike on the major consoles and PC, that's not to say that the DS version is without its appeal.On the DS, the game is to feature 2 full campaigns to play through, as well as the usual real-time strategy and tactics elements accompanying a title with such a ... well, title. The game is to feature head-to-head multiplayer (sorry, no Wi-Fi connect), five playable races (Romulan Warbird FTW) and a skirmish mode. Star Trek: Tactical Assault is to release this Fall.
1. I feel a little ignorant on what my DS can do in terms of 3D gameplay. I recently picked up Lego Star Wars II for my DS Lite and have been *very* frustrated at the clipping and sometimes overall disappearance of objects/characters from the screen.
Now, I realise that we're talking a different franchise and software developer, but is what I'm experiencing in Lego SWII the stick to measure other 3D game titles to be? I know it's a bit of a naive question (yes, Super Mario DS looked great!). I'd rather get Tactical Assault for my DS than my PSP because I like the idea of using the LCARS interface on the lower screen, but if the graphical representation of Tactical Assault is better handled on the PSP version I just might (gasp) not get it for my DS...
And no, I'm not trying to initiate a flame war here between the portable camps..!
