MikeT14 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Comes out tomorrow. Reviews have been solid so far. Might be worth the $40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it preordered since day one but I am a huge Star Wars fan. The cockpit view reminds me of the old XWing games so I am excited. I am just afraid we are going to miss the depth of a normal online game and are getting a short tutorial campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And cross play, so you and I will have to hook up online and play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I will be getting it tomorrow on PC for sure. I will have my VR headset back next weekend and am pretty excited to try it on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 For those of you that want to multiplayer up (I won't be able to play for a couple days but still) I am intimastix on PS4. Looks like we can do cross play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Was perusing through this: https://www.ign.com/wikis/star-wars-squadrons/Tips_and_Tricks Seems like there is a lot of little things you can do that feel like the movies. I like the d-pad alternatives to divert power to thrusters or to shields. You can also focus shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to balance your engines, weapons, shields and even a beam weapon, and it seems you also have counter measures for missiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 A couple campaign missions in and I give it two thumbs up. While not as complex as the old X-Wing games, it works just as well and doesn't feel "arcadey" like Rogue Squadron did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBURGE Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Man, this game is so damn fun in VR. I an't play for more than an hour, but I've done a few sessions now. The TIEs are definitely better for VR than the Rebel fighters - the TIEs only have the front facing window, where-as the X and A wings have front and overhead, and if you look up it can make you pretty dizzy. I haven't played and multiplayer yet, just chugging through the story which is quite good imo. If anyone want to play multi let me know, I'm playing on PC which doesnt matter cause of crossplay but I don't know how you invite people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
