Support NeoGAF

[ManaByte]

Could this be the EA Motive game?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Project Maverick right?

 

[disap.ed]

Rogue Squadron remake collection please!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Project Maverick right?

That was my assumption.

Really hope it is legit. Love the old X-Wing/TIE Fighter games

 

[skneogaf]

I'll buy a thrustmaster hotas warthog and simulator if this is just a flying combat game.

 

[Kuranghi]

I'm hopeful but I smell something I'm not interested in here, like... multiplayer... *shudders*

"Pilots wanted" feels multiplayer to me, or is this known to be MP already?

 

[Kronos9x]

Hopefully it's similar to Star wars Rogue Squadron and it offers amazing gameplay variety. (Third person, different types of vehicles) They did it back with the Gamecube games. And Online Co-op too.

 

[MADGAME]

Please be more aracde-y and not a realistic sim.

 

[HellforLeather]

Fuck yes! I hope it has the gameplay of BF2 though.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

More than likely multiplayer focused.

 

[Romulus]

VR please. Makes flight games magnitudes better.

 

[Cravis]

Very interested but only if there is a substantial single player component.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Microsoft store has been leaking a lot lately. They also leaked a lot of info about Mafia: Trilogy.

 

[Birdo]

The pilot is female.

It's real.

 

[Cravis]

VR please. Makes flight games magnitudes better.

Oh God, yes please! The VR missions in Battlefront were absolutely mind blowing. I had hoped we would have gotten more.

 

[Sub_Level]

I hope there's a campaign too but whats wrong with multiplayer? Some of you oldies can't compete with the 16 year olds anymore?

 

[Hendrick's]

I hope its 1st person in cockpit.

 

[Kuranghi]

I hope there's a campaign too but whats wrong with multiplayer? Some of you oldies can't compete with the 16 year olds anymore?

I've just never been into it, I literally glean no pleasure from playing against humans, when I win I just think of the losing people being annoyed lol.

I think its something to do with starting gaming before online mulitplayer existed (I used to do a bit of LAN stuff but it didn't interest me much), its kinda hard to explain why I prefer SP, I wanted to say "its because there isn't a narrative" but thats nonsense because some of my favourite games have either barely any story or its complete shit lol

 

[Gp1]

This game will be a online mmo peppered with microtransactions from all sides.

I really don't believe that EA would have the guts to do a good SP simcade like we all deserve.

Very interested but only if there is a substantial single player component.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

More than likely multiplayer focused.

Fucking Xbox strikes again! Now they're turning OTHER developers into multiplayer studios. Wow, what bitches.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Maaaaan, I hope this is good! Definitely assuming it's that EA Motive title, maybe even Maverick. Unless there's something else too. If this is anything like Xwing Vs Tie Fighter or even an enhanced Rogue Squadron, I'm SO down.

 

[ManaByte]

This is what I was able to find out:

Short SP campaign.
Focus on MP
EA Motive, PC and consoles
Was going to be revealed on the 18th. MS fucked up

 

[Ristifer]

Not interested in some microtransaction romp for EA. A cool SW flying game is like a dream of mine. But they will fuck this up.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Seems they are going more in an X-Wing vs Tie Fighter direction with multiplayer as the focus. Not expecting this to be something I'll play. The space battles in Battlefront I & II were lackluster.

I'd like to see a good single player space fighter in the vein of Colony Wars again some day, hopefully one that controls as well as Everspace.

I'd really love it if they'd just reboot the X-Wing series and go all-out with it. X-Wing Alliance was amazing, retelling the events of the OG trilogy from the perspective of a freighter crew and their family as the Empire started closing it's fist was great. There's no reason they can't repeat that with modern visuals.

 

[Ristifer]

There's no reason they can't repeat that with modern visuals.

$ure there i$.

 

[Gamezone]

It's apparently a multiplayer game with a short single player garbage mode added.

 

[BusierDonkey]

$ure there i$.

After some thought, I remembered Disney runs Star Wars now... They don't do original trilogy content anymore.

 

[Woopah]

Is this a spiritual successor to Rogue Squadron or should I not get my hopes up?

 

[Nikana]

Is this a spiritual successor to Rogue Squadron or should I not get my hopes up?

If this is the case I'll shit my pants.

 

[MiguelItUp]

If this is the case I'll shit my pants.

Same, lmao.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I would not get your hopes up if this is true below.

This is what I was able to find out:

Short SP campaign.
Focus on MP
EA Motive, PC and consoles
Was going to be revealed on the 18th. MS fucked up

 

[Woopah]

I would not get your hopes up if this is true below.

Damn you multiplayer for ruining everything!

 

[ManaByte]

A Battle Royale style game mode with squads actually works perfect for space combat.

 

[Shizumapower]

This is what I was able to find out:

Short SP campaign.
Focus on MP
EA Motive, PC and consoles
Was going to be revealed on the 18th. MS fucked up

Short SP campaign. < "Tutorial" disguised as SP

Focus on MP < What it will be all about.

EDIT: manabyte explano below.

 

[ManaByte]

Was going to be revealed on the 18th. MS fucked up < Got that Xbox logo on a big name title day after PS5 reveal.

No, EA play was originally going to be yesterday before being delayed until next week. MS probably had the pre-order image scheduled to go live this morning and forgot to change the date.

 

[Neo Blaster]

C'mon, EA, just gimme the spiritual successor to X-Wing.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Multiplayer focused

I mean fuck you too EA.

 

[Vindicator]

Looks diverse enough to be real, hoping for PSVR Support.

 

[Holammer]

The pilot is female.

It's real.

Even got this ethnic vibe too so it's 4 realz!
Tie pilot is probably a pasty white male oppressor.

 

[Shizumapower]

Looks diverse enough to be real, hoping for PSVR Support.

Would insta-buy

 

[PSwitchBox44]

Do not tease me like this! Just give me an HD upgrade of the old GameCube game and I’d be happy!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Trailer coming monday



update

(edit, guess I shoulda made a thread)

 

[Alexios]

Multiplayer focused, yuck.... I guess it could be something cool, if it tries to be very varied and involving like say, Allegiance was, but otherwise it's such a poor decision, space sims are at their best when you have a varied and long campaign to get through.

It better support VR at least!

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Focus is on multiplayer, campaign is only "a few hours long".

Fuck off EA.

 

[Joey.]

Ohhh babbyyy

I'm surprised they're not gonna wait until EA Play on Thursday

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Focus is on multiplayer, campaign is only "a few hours long".

Fuck off EA.

I had hoped that Fallen Order was gonna shift that tide. Guess not.
