Star Wars Squadrons GAMEPLAY reveal trailer
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
This actually makes me more hyped. Tired of Frostbite games being so focused on graphics that they fuck up all the important gameplay. This focus on good performance for VR makes me more comfortable thinking this will feel very good to control and play instead of looking as pretty as possible.
Yes. Also, the Tie Bomber big laser from the trailer is inspired by the B-Wing prototype she flew.
For the consoleros here:

Looks no different than Battlefront 2 and absolutely nothing like the "in engine" trailer from a couple days ago.
There are ZERO microtransactions in this.
None.
They have made it very very clear that you unlock everything by playing and there is no DLC, no microtransactions and only two currencies: one for cosmetics and one for ship customization
That looked really good. I'll be playing in VR, and really thinking of picking up a HOTAS flight stick for this game.
This is almost an entirely different genre from the arcade spaceflight modes from BF2. it's like comparing Gran Turismo with Blur.
Don't people prefer "grounded" Gundam though, might be wrong on this.
I'm very fucking stoked for this.....I gotta play some Elite to get my mind re-engaged in VR Flight
And as we all know EA never lies or obfuscates language about this very topic. I see absolutely no reason to doubt this consumer-friendly corporation's word.
remember when they lied about it for fallen order and Command and Conquer?
edit: wait did you just link the surprise mechanics thing? how is that comparable to the director of the game saying 'No MTX'?
Be still my beating heartCalling it right now, this will be a skin in the game
They are saying everything right for this game. Very excited, hope they can execute and really deliver. I just pre-ordered on steam and I normally never preorder games until maybe just the week before.
This sounds like...perfection. Cautiously optimistic because, well, EA, but man this looks incredible.
5 vs 5 sounds great. Any game I've played that has large number of fighters in a dog fight situation just turns into a massive clusterfuck of randomness. Smaller intimate dog fights is where you really get a feel for a battle without having to constantly worry about missile locks from every directions and shit
Exactly.
Looking at those space debris and massive battleships, just replace the Star Wars fighters with battle suits & Gundams. I'd be all over it.
As an absolute fanboy of the 90's PC "simulators", I'm really, really pleased with what I've seen. Sure, I have some doubts here and there (how's the aiming? seems to be totally assisted although it may be just a lack of HUD for the video) and the main mode feels lackluster used to the big battles of the classic games, but overall this feels much, much, MUCH better than anything I actually expected.
This is, by far, the best birthday gift I've received in a long, long time. I'm happy.
EDIT: Seems there's no aim assist at all, from an interview at Polygon that touches all the "spiritual succesor to the X-wing/TIE Fighter games but focused on Multiplayer" buttons.

That's a great article. It seems the developers are very mindful of what made the old PC games great, especially in how those games feel. The conscious decision to not have a leading indicator is one I appreciate, since I agree that small detail is the difference between playing against the movement of the enemy ships vs just trying to keep HUD elements aligned. Details like that are why a lot of other space arena combat games have fallen flat for me.
I'm feeling more and more optimistic about this. It's easy to be skeptical how well EA, of all companies, will serve this genre that has become fairly niche since its heydays. And I have a suspicion that the single-player mode is going to be closer to a gloried tutorial than the campaigns of the old PC games. But the devs are talking about the right stuff, so I really, really hope this game walks the walk.
A single player game and a remaster aren't the same as a new AAA multiplayer game.
How is "they're not actually loot boxes, they're surprise mechanics" comparable to "they're not actually microtransactions, they're [insert marketing term here]"? I'm sure you can figure it out.
For the record, I don't know if the game will have microtransactions or not. I'm just saying people should be more skeptical of EA at this point. That said, if they stick to their word, it will certainly improve my opinion of them and my belief that they have turned over a new leaf.
How is a game director directly telling the audience something comparable to someone trying to bullshit their way out of being regulated? Like I'm pretty sure the former is very sueable.
Like this feels like a very common sense thing to me. Whatever, don't respond, I really hate pseudo defending these people.
Calling it right now, this will be a skin in the game
Is this Sabine's work?
I really hope /wish this has at some point Co op PVE missions. Not getting my hopes up too much though :/
I think I could've swallowed the 10 v 10 pill a little easier than 5 v 5.
X-wing vs TF had an 8 player count....... in 1997.
Whole wars are fought on PC servers using air and ground assets on DCS. In VR.
It does have co-op though, they said the main game mode can be played against bots.
