LOS ANGELES, Calif. September 13 - 42 Metacritic scoring Star Trek: The Video Game was a "big disappointment" to Star Trek director J.J. Abrams, so much so that it hurt him emotionally, he lamented to Gamerhub.tv during a Star Trek: Into Darkness DVD and Blu-ray release event.
The video game is based on Abram's rendition of Star Trek and due to the relevance Abrams fears that the game could damage the impact of Star Trek sequel, Star Trek: Into Darkness.
"Instead it was not and was something that I think, for me emotionally it hurt, because we were working our asses off making the movie and then this game came out and it got, it's not even my opinion, it got universally panned and I think that it was something without question that didn't help the movie and arguably hurt it," Abrams said.
"I think the thing that we all know, anyone who loves video games and loves movies… very, very rarely does a movie based on a game, or a game based on a movie, really work," he continued, a statement that has stood the test of time. "It usually ends up being something that everyone who goes to see or goes to play feels like this was a marketing decision made by a room full of people who wanted to capitalize on a title. That's no way to make a game and no way to make a movie."
Abrams is currently working on a pair of projects with Valve, an endeavor himself and Valve pseudo CEO Gabe Newell announced during D.I.C.E. Summit back in February. Abrams reiterated this fact during the interview. It is unknown whether or not the project is a film, game, or television show.
