Star Trek: Infinite Space cancelled
It was Klingons or the Romulans that brought Star Trek: Infinite Space to a screeching halt. It was the lack of a publisher that forced developer Gameforge to scrap the project.
Star Trek has always had its share of enemies: The Klingons, the Romulans, the Borg. But Star Trek: Infinite Space finally encountered an enemy that German developer Gameforge could not overcome: the lack of interest in the game from potential partners.
"Since autumn 2011 we made many efforts to find a publishing and marketing partner for Star Trek: Infinite Space," the company said in a statement (translated from German by GamesIndustry International. "Unfortunately, our efforts were not successful. So we have decided with a heavy heart to finally abandon the project."
The developer/publisher had already had its share of troubles, laying off more than 100 people late last year and cancelling HellBreed and Mythos. The free-to-play Star Trek title was already hanging by a thread at that time, but the company had held out hope that it could find someone interested in helping with the game.

BOOO! I demand more star trek games!

That is too bad. I'd like to see some other ST game that isn't STO. A new starfleet command game could be really fun. sigh

JJ Abrams universe, bleh
j/k I'll prolly buy that too but nothing I have seen about it really piqued my interest other than it being Star Trek.

Agreed though - I actually like STO and it's been a lot less buggy than it used to be, but man what I wouldn't give for an updated Starfleet Command game...or hell, even another Elite Force game.
Time to load up Elite Force and go to town, huh?

I would like to see a StarTrek MMO done right. Probably not going to happen given how most TV/Film IPs end up when they are converted to a game.
-
I want something like 25th Anniversary or Judgment Rights maybe Telltale could make a game.
I still want Secret of Vulcan Fury dammit.-
Telltale would be pretty perfect. they respect IPs and still make fun games. I would love to play that.

I remember this title - it was straight up AWFUL, even in beta. It was less like a real Star Trek game and more like a really crappy game with some Star Trek ship models and designs. :( Thankfully Star Trek Online is free to play and doing pretty well - if you're looking for a Star Trek game to play, I'd recommend it - at least the devs over there are pumping out new content for it.
-
I recommend anyone interested keep their eyes on Star Trek Excalibur - this looks a bit more like the kind of space game I'd really want to play, and is actually still in development (so far, anyways):

Thanks for the heads up on this.
Looks like they are moving along. Their twitter feed has updates every few hours with new fixes etc.
Some cool stuff in the screenshot thread. http://www.stexcalibur.com/forum/index.php/topic,4537.0.html

I'm not sad to see that game go but I wish there were more Star Trek games.
