I'm kinda worried this is just space Team Deathmatch.

Hopefully it's more than that but it reminds me of the Ubisoft pirate game that everybody was ecstatic hearing about until it slowly revealed 'oh its just the shitty AC ship combat in multiplayer form'. Hopefully no similar disappointments tomorrow.

The wallpaper in the OT looks cool as fuck. Congrats to the artist who did that.
Of course I am not going to be excited until I hear more about what this is exactly, it's EA after all...

So is PSVR 2 coming soon? As a big Star Wars fan this game is way more exciting to me as a VR game and I don't even have VR. This and Half-Life would be great for it.

Even if the campaign is only 4-6 hours at best, with a bit of luck maybe they will improve the fame over time as much as they did Battlefront II.

Am cautiously optimistic...

I would be very happy if it was predominantly Team Deathmatch. BF2's Starfighter mode switched to a much more objective-based multiplayer and I think it made the game a lot less fun.

They already said they won't release it alongside PS5 at the very least. Honestly, I wouldn't expect it on 2021 either.

The hall across the room
Who's ready for 30 seconds tommorow and tune into EA play to see "gameplay trailer" that is just CG in engine
I guess best case it's 10 min slice of gameplay at EA play with developers while someone tries to sell hype over the developers talking
EA play is always too much shaking my head why show the game like that
I'll just watch the trailers after

I would really like this to have an interesting combat model where accuracy is important, but everything these days loves to have gimballed lockon weapons so long as your reticle is within a mile of an enemy ship. I deeply desire something to at least scratch the itch of Freespace 2 MP. Rub it. I'd be fine with just breathing on that itch.

Well if it means anything we got actual gameplay of Battlefront 1, 2, and Fallen Order at EA Play/E3 so...

I'm cautiously optimistic about it now that it's said to have VR support.

My expectations are still that it will be a small scale dog fighting game, but that still sounds interesting to me.

I'm ready for disappointment. All we've gotten are two middling multiplayer games and an extremely bland and derivative single player game.

I've been bracing for the worst. For some of us here, the idea of a starfighter-centric Star Wars game is enough to have us over the moon [of Endor]. Another Rogue Squadron or X-Wing title. Something more than the (excellent) few bites we've been given via Battlefront II.

But there are so many ways to screw this up. lol I have this vision of the reveal trailer and especially the gameplay footage blending bizarre heavy rap remixes of John Williams' score with fixed reaction shots from influencers as we slowly but surely realize just how F2P this game is.

VR support makes this go from a pass to a let's see.

Although RoS is still making me want to stay away from Star Wars in general.

yes man...
unfortunatelly you are right...
i love Star Wars and single player games and really tried to like fallen order...
i even finish the game but man, it has so many flaws...
combat is imprecise, lacks punch and even having some good fights, for the majority of time is kind of boring...
planets and level design are really bland most of time and uninspired.
and I think that, even if I really like souls games, the design has nothing to do with Star Wars...
we really needed and deserve a beautiful full RPG or action adventure game that honor Star Wars franchise...
people we're so starving for adventures in Star Wars universe that even a super bland game like fallen order made a huge success.
i was there day one to and millions of other fans...
I really hate that this franchise is in EA hands.

I'd really want to test or demo the game before buying. I never felt particularly skilled or felt like I had a lot of control in either Battlefront game when it came to flying ships.

VR makes that an instant-buy. Now, let us hope that the gameplay is good. I am expecting a standalone Battlefront 2 Starfighter Assault standalone spinoff. And I would be totally happy with that. Also, the ship-levels in the Battlefront 2 were easily the best part.

I've played through Fallen Order twice now and I went from liking it to pretty much loving it between playthroughs. I get why some folks don't dig it but it has a lot of heart IMO. And I definitely disagree on planets/level design. Totally willing to admit that I don't play a whole lot of action games so maybe that factors but I've had a blast navigating and exploring worlds.

No matter how it turns out, I hope it will sell well enough, so space sims are a thing publishers no longer ignore.

Only interested in VR SP. Even if it's just like AC7's VR missions that's fine too. Don't need campaign.

That being said VR MP in DCS is probably one of the highlights of my gaming life, but that is because stakes are super high and it's 90% systems tactics and only 10% pew pew.

Has there ever been a Star Wars shmup? Something like Astebreed but SW themed could be awesome.

I've been put off of Star Wars lately by the Sequels (not a fan). Fallen Order was OK but ran horribly on Xbox One S. That said, I revisited Battlefront 2 Starfighter Assault, and once I got used to the controls, I could not put it down. It is seriously fun and addictive.

As for this game, refining those controls further would be amazing. Couple that with the OT setting and greater emphasis on teamwork, and this might be the Star Wars comfort food I need to rekindle my love for the series (that and Mando season 2).

unfortunately it didn't have this effect on me...
maybe I try another playthrough to see if clicks but I really think the game is very very mediocre and I was hoping much more...
I love Star Wars and had huge hype when I discovered that the game is directed by Stig ( director of God of war 3 ).
i liked some bossfights to give some stig credits...
