In engineering, for example, you're given a panel with sliders for shields, phasers, and engines, along with an overall amount of power that you can send to each one. That, not so coincidentally, is the exact setup on show at Nvidia's E3 2016 booth.Īrmed with four PCs, four Oculus Rift headsets, and four sets of Oculus Touch controllers, I (along with what has the be the most enthusiastic developer team of all time) began our mission with individual video briefings for each of the four roles. From there, invite everyone over to your place and have one big nerdy Star Trek: Bridge Crew LAN party. If you're playing on your own, AI fills in for the other roles, but ideally you want to find a group of well-heeled friends with enough disposable income to buy both a great gaming PC and a VR headset (at least until PS VR comes out). Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts you in one of four roles: Captain, Helm, Tactical, or Engineering. Even the most hardened of Star Trek haters are going to love this. That special something is Ubisoft's Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a four-player VR co-op game for the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR that lets you live the dream of captaining a Federation starship through deep space. When you've spent the best part of your day playing collectible card games with a man cosplaying as Geralt from The Witcher, it takes a special something to make you feel like maybe, just maybe, you're a bit too nerdy. There's nerding out, and then there's playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew.
