Anyone heard anything else new about it?  Also... Why would he be holding a plasma rifle...?

Not yet, but I've been rather busy focussing on real-life lately.
Also... Why would he be holding a plasma rifle...?
Because it's  Abrams-Trek. That says it all, there's nothing more to say or do about it....

Star Trek continues the story from the recent J.J. Abrams film. Players take control of Kirk and Spock in what is being called an "unprecedented co-op experience."
That line put me right off. Kirk and Spock? I don't wanna switch between two main characters in the main story. Keep me on one character and I'm happy. A two character story makes me think along the lines of Commandos Strike Force. Loads of action, not much story. Call me old fashioned, but that's just not Trek to me.

Yeah, why is Spock holding a Plasma Rifle from Halo, there's not even an attempt to make it look different. I know it's concept art but seriously, there are plenty of trek weapons that look cool, like I don't know, the phaser pistols they used in the film (like the one that Kirk is holding).

It's not that the Halo pistol doesn't make sense, it's that it looks like the Halo pistol.

The only thing I find wrong with this is I don't think there is nearly enough of the new Trek to spin anything off from it. But, other single movies have had games and shows based on them. For now, I'll wait and see what comes of this since for all we know it will be the best damn Trek game ever.

Nahh, That movie was one of the biggest time wasters ever!
And it's a bit to bring out a movie/game tie in don't you think?
Meh..

They've already done it, at least to the i-Phone/pod and i-pad market. Not sure about other consoles. I think there's one for the DSi too. Terrible game though.

And still, I consider myself a Trekkie.

You are not alone, but I didn't like it as a Trek movie, though I didn't realize it until a while after I had seen it. It's a great sci-fi action film, but it's not a Trek film, there isn't some observation about humanity or anything like that, it's just a simple action movie. If you think about every other Trek movie there has always been a message of some sort (I have no idea what the message was for the motion picture, except perhaps that padding is bad), Wrath of Khan was about aging (Kirk specifically) and all the things you can miss out on if you put your career first, the Search for Spock was about friendship, Voyage Home was about not taking biodiversity for granted and about owning up to ones choices (as Kirk did at the end), the Final Frontier was about the nature of faith (possibly, that movie is painful to think about), Undiscovered Country was about forgiving enemies for past acts and forging a brighter future though peace. Generations was also about growing old and about dealing with loss (both Picard and Soren), First Contact was about dealing with the urge for revenge (only really applies to Picard) as well as living up to others opinions of you (Cochrane), Insurrection was (again) about growing old but also about seizing opportunities, and Nemesis was about looking at the path your life has taken and seeing what could have been (Picard and Data).

But Star Trek XI didn't really have any of that, you could say that it was about Kirk getting over the loss of his father, but that was really over in the first 20 minutes, and the stuff with Spock and Sarek barely total 5 minutes of screen time. Nero's motivation for destroying the Federation was reasonable (as reasonable as uncontrollable rage ever is) but there wasn't anything learned by the protagonists so it doesn't count as a message or theme.

Keep in mind that I'm writing off the top of my head, all these films may have other messages or themes that I've missed, but if I don't remember them just by thinking about the film then they can't have been that strong or meaningful.

tl:dr version: Trek XI is a good film, but not a good Trek film.

OT: apart from that somewhat suspect concept art, I'm actually optimistic about the first Trek FPS since Elite Force 2, though I reserve the right to talk trash about it if the gameplay doesn't live up to Trek's potential.

Yeah I agree it was ok as a scifi film for the masses but it was not trek

Not bad for a pre-alpha!  Seems more pre-beta.  Looks good, but the Trek movies (s) are good Sci-Fi movies, not great Trek movies (like was said before).  Seems like the movies are trying to be action packed, like the super hero movies, but with Star Wars effects.  That is where I get annoyed.  The trailer looks good though.

Umm. I don't know what to think. It looks pretty. How does a third person shooter with a cover option fit into Star Trek ( The whole universe not the movie.). The only that did intrigue me was that shuttle craft but it look like the shuttle was on rails. Also, why is flying towards the bridge. I don't recall seeing a hanger there.

That looks very exciting. If you can block out certain aspects the gameplay looks very simple, but then there is the team aspect which is obviously not shown enough to judge, and the graphics aren't blow my pants off good, they're solid. Also, it obviously has a cover system which is great, Trek really needs that. I was actually getting a little bit of Dead Space vibe. Anyway, it looks like it can be very good.

I think it looks pretty darn awesome!  I love the action sequence part in the trailer where you jump between the ships!  8)

Just watch the trailer again. I can't believe I did not notice this but the JJprise shown in the trailer does really look over 800m long. It looks more along the size of the original.  Kirk and Spock (?) seem to pass underneath the saucer section quickly. If the ship shown is over 800m, they must be going roughly around 800-900kph. I highly doubt that a human being has the reaction time to fly (is that the right word?) in a shuttle pod airlock without computer assistance. Unless those have been blown up to size as well.
