Now playable without a VR headset. Looked like a lot of fun, so if the only thing stopping you from commanding the NCC-1701 was the lack of VR gear, now's your chance

Problem is that the community is already dead.

Oh, you can't play it with less then a full crew? I was considering hooking my friends up, then we would have 3 people. Can you have a bot for the fourth station?

 

[Jenner]

Interesting. I may have to look into this again. It was a non starter before on account of the VR requirement. I'd be interested in single player which I believe it has, right?

I would love to play it, But no VR here.
Playing without VR seems like half the experiance.... but i will investigate.

But if the community is dead or dying then...... maybe not.

Never heard of that. I always thought it was MP only.

From what I read it kinda has single player, as it's using Watson to do voice commands for the crew and there was a few articles on AI stations. But it would probably require some further inquiry to make sure. Also due to the steam x-mas sale, it's 50% off, so it is still tempting me.


Edit: Watson looks pretty solid... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd4BCp0-dRI

It has single player. The Watson voice commands don't seem to work that well for me and don't seem to respond as well as voice attack.

I don't find single-player that enjoyable as the missions are mostly move over there and scan or shoot the thing. Also you must have a Ubisoft account and client to play which puts me off loading it.

Probably not worth it without VR though.

I think the vr only thing really killed it out the door.

That said, I suspect we may see a resurgence. Remember the artemis comnunity wasnt build in a day.

How many missions does the game have? It was only a couple from memory. If I remember that right, coupled with it being tied to VR until now, it's not really surprising there is next to no community. If only they had added a mission creator so the community could build their own. Add in away missions and this could have been great.

Mission editors are key to keeping the community of these type of things going strong.
