In less than three weeks we'll see the console graphics system hit the live pc version of STO.
Outside of the technical updates the new patch (Agents of Yesterday – Artifacts) brings a Star Trek: The Original Series-themed Starbase Fleet holding. Great for those in a fleet but not for an independent player like me. What is of interest to me is the new story arc that is to run through 2017!
With luck it will include a good amount of content. I am sure a more detailed information will be forthcoming soon.
I have tried the new version of STO on console. I have only played about an hour of a new character on my XboxOne. Not much time to give a detailed analysis. But enough time to see what it was like. It's not a bad translation, I created a new Romulan character and found the starter experience and UI to be very playable. I did find the aiming systems a bit strange as it seemed to be aiming off and away from what you were actually aiming at. I wont' be pulled into playing that version over the pc original. I find the pc version far more more accessible.
Most sites for both Xbox and Playstation are giving the game a 70% rating. with what I think is more of a liking for the game on ps4 than Xboxone. 70% It's a bad thing, and there are indeed things they could improve on. I just think that to improve on things they way critics want would require more input than the company would ever think of giving to the game not matter what form it's deployed on.
I consider the pc version to be fun if quirky. My consideration for the game will only improve once the new visuals are in the game. And with the new content on the way I am sure I'll enjoy it. I may even join a fleet.
