Star Trek roundup preview

Jul 11, 1999 1:33pm CST tags: zGeneral News
You trekkies and trekkers out there might want to check out this new feature on the upcoming wave of Star Trek games currently in development. Here's a clip on the Quake3 engine based Voyager:

Once you hear the words "Quake III", the first thought that comes to mind (besides mindless slaughter) would have to be eyecandy. But Voyager: Elite Force isn't being made to shine endless lensflares at you. Instead, the technology is being used to create an exact replica of the USS Voyager, both inside and out. Every deck, every room, is created down to perfect detail using Paramount's stage sets. When you get to see Voyager's bridge in Elite Force, you will simply be in awe. It looks exactly like it does in the series, and the ability to walk around the entire ship, enter engineering, visit the mess hall, is astounding. And this is all thanks to the Q3 engine, who's advanced lighting effects and curved surfaces allow the ship to be modeled to perfection. And then of course there are the character models, and I'm sure Raven won't have any trouble getting the front ends of those female models curvier than ever.
