Star Trek Infinite – The closest thing to Birth of The Federation 2 we’ll probably ever get

[Blake00]

Probably easier just to link to the discussion thread over on the separate BOTF forums here at AFC!

But yeah.. Pretty pumped as this will probably be the closest thing to a Birth of the Federation 2 we'll ever get!!!

Their first dev diary is here too.. they even mention BOTF as inspiration and recreating that experience which is great. I'm loving all their TNG/DS9/VOY era artwork (presumably used in the game's many events and story trees).

And lastly IGN got a copy and have done a nice preview on it too...

Dev diary 2 and 3 have arrived.. The third one is on the very thing I've been impressive with the most so far.. that lovely nostalgic TNG art style of their's.. There's something about it that reminds me of STTNG Final Unity's art style in that it was quite realistic but retained a bit of a artistic painted look. They also appear to reveal the full faction lineup of ships and starbases. Not many ships sadly and similar to BOTF back in the day it appears to be pure 24th century TNG onwards with no TOS content (unless it appeared in TNG). Also a bit sad to see the minimalist GUI features almost no LCARS whatsoever, as the LCARS in BOTF really upped the immersion and uniqueness between the races.

Release story trailer...

Interesting that story wise they appear to be basing it around the yesterdays enterprise alternate universe but presumably before the Feds start losing the war to the Klingons and you get to 'set a new path'..
Reminds me of a great Civ4 Star Trek mod scenario set in that timeline as well where you gotta try and turn the war around for the Feds. I show it around the 9:30 mark of this video..

The whole release has been a bit rocky but I never play day 1 releases anymore and from what I'm seeing this one is no exception and it's definitely gonna be a long time before I get to it, so all good lol. Anyway it looks like they've put some more dev diaries out around the release period..

Dev 4 is stuff on story..

Dev diary 6 is now out too talking about how the day 1 release was a bit of a disaster lol.

Dev diary 7 is out talking about planned fixes and feature additions such as more ship choices per race, better UI scaling, and playable minor races.

And dev diary 8 is out too showcasing some of the best user made mods out there adding new planets, buildings, missions, and more lore friendly or sandbox galaxy maps.
