This looks too good to be true. Very excited to see more info and to see how fans feel about it when it goes live.

 

[Romulus]

If this even gets close to the Battlefront VR mission on PSVR, we're in for a treat. That short demo made several people a believer in VR that I showed, most of them skeptics of the tech.

But seeing this, it looks even better than that demo.

 

[Esca]

I'm really looking forward to this. Love dog fighting and like star wars

 

[Tesseract]

that shit looks dope af, day 0

 

[SinDelta]

It would be cool if the New Republic Campaign leads to a full out assault on StarKiller base before it can fire.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Got to say, EA is pretty scammy sometimes and I don't even care about Star Wars, but this game looks slick.

 

[lrt75914]

Not really a fan of the color palette. Maybe its just me, but I don't think we need
crazy colors à la Rage 2 in a Star Wars game.

And I really don't like how diverse this game looks. Not because I'm annoyed by
diversity, It makes sense thatthe star wars universe is populated by a diverse
group of people. However, this doesn't feel natural and looks like diversity by
commitee.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Tempted to get VR to play this, LOVED the battlefront VR demo

 

[CuNi]

Was that Twi'lek General Syndulla from Rebels!? Nice Cameo if so.

 

[Arkam]

Game shows promise will be waiting to watch some reviews to see if it lives up to my hopes. Actual video was pretty meh though. That first minute a waste of time and I am sure they thought it was more gripping than it turned out.

 

[Nankatsu]

Collectors edition will come with a squadron republic helmet replica, so you can have a bucket to vomit in case of nausea.

 

[Ozrimandias]

The fix on Battlefront II - then Fallen Order - now Squadrons.
EA it's treating the Star Wars franchise a lot better than Disney

 

[Chupanibre]

Yep. I'm getting it.

I haven't missed getting one of these since X-Wing in DOS

 

[mckmas8808]

PSVR too right?

 

[Romulus]

PSVR too right?

Yes confirmed.

 

[eyesabitdull]

Wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole until it's been out for a few months.

The idea of spending money on an EA Star Wars game is horrifying to me.

Something at some point is going to screw us gamers over, I just feel it in my bones man.

 

[mckmas8808]

Yes confirmed.

DAY ONE (on PS5 only though)

You're overly paranoid. If a $40 game has good user and critic reviews, theres nothing wrong with a purchase. Especially for us VR gamers. Even a good 4 hour campaign will feel incredible with that technology. Well worth it.

 

[Shizumapower]

Yes confirmed.

And HOTAS! going to be good!

The supporting characters look attrocious and uninteresting. Even with some of the main characters from the series showing up this looks as generic as it comes. The in flight mode and space battle graphics look excellent, but based on what I saw the single player is a paint by numbers diversity fest that screams some woke agenda.

 

[Camreezie]

Will get at £20 mark , too many games around that time launching , it does at least look good

 

[Thaedolus]

Let’s fuckin gooooo! My PC barely exceeds recommended specs, here’s hoping it can keep up in VR

[sojuwarrior]

hopefully i dont get motion sickness from playing this

 

[lefty1117]

to celebrate I think I'll download JFO again for a playthrough

 

[Chupanibre]

I'm glad there's a campaign in this. The original preview led me to believe it was multiplayer only, which wouldn't have been a problem for me. Seems like they put a lot of work into a "budget" title.

Huh? It's been announced as having a campaign since day one, it's just been clear the focus is the multiplayer and it remains to be seen how good the campaign is. Length isn't so much the issue, just how good and fun and replayable it is given the different objectives and enemies and tactics it may present, so will it be 4 hours of throwaway entertainment like a COD game or something more involving people will enjoy and return to time and time again like the original X-Wing and TIE Fighter games (even if it's not nearly as long as those or Freespace 1 & 2)? Hopefully it's the latter.

We'll see, but hopefully it's the latter.

I didn't see the original announcement. Was kind of dealing with a lot of "stuff," so I only got to hear word-of-mouth for a while and I heard multiplayer only. No big deal in the end.

Was that Twi'lek General Sindula from Rebels!? Nice Cameo if so.

Yes it's her

[Vaelka]

As much as I love the original trilogy, is anyone else getting a bit bored of the exact same ships etc every game?
I am not saying that they shouldn't be there, but I'd like to see some new stuff too.
