14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Digital Extremes and publisher Namco Bandai explain why they chose the Gorn as the main antagonists for the new Star Trek video game, a move that left many fans of the universe baffled when it was first announced.
The video offers more detail on how the team debated the potential factions involved when development started and settled on the Gorn because they could create a rich backstory for the race.
The lizard-like aliens were first seen in the Arena episode of the original Star Trek series and since then, have failed to make a significant impact on the universe.
Star Trek will be launched on April 23 in North America and three days later in Europe on the PC, the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
