Star Trek gets its first trailer showing Kirk and Spock in motion from this standalone story. Namco Bandai and Paramount will release the game in Q1 2013.
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but this game is likely to suck big time.
First of all, it's a license. But more importantly than that, with the exception of The Darkness II, Digital Extremes has not made a good game since making UT2004, just before they split from working for Epic Games. The following year, Epic went on to make Gears of War, and Digital Extremes went on to make Pariah . . . one company went consistently up in quality, and the other went down. And literally until The Darkness II came out in February of this year, Digital Extremes had not made a single game actually worth getting excited about beyond the concept of the game.
Now if Digital Extreme can manage to carry over all of the quality they poured into The Darkness II into Star Trek, then this game could be awesome - not Mass Effect awesome, but hopefully somewhere in the neighborhood. I'll keep my fingers crossed, as I want this game to be more awesome than awesome, but considering the company's track record, I'm not holding my breath.

As you said, darkness 2 was great, so i'm confident this will be too. And while it IS a licensed game, it's been in development for a long time, which is more then can be said for the typical movie license game. I'm predicting a riddick quality experience, and if it manages that, then already it will be better then mass effect.

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)
