If this has HOTAS support, I think I may have found my game to get back into the genre again. Please be good...
Star Wars Squadrons GAMEPLAY reveal trailer
- Thread starter Lifejumper
- Start date
For someone interested what's a decent dogfighting game and somewhat cheap but decent hotas to try and get into the genre?
Hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
My way forward is clear, now just need to do some research and budgeting! :D

Makes sense for Fleet Battles. AI guarding the ships and shit. Not to mention it adds to the feel of it being a full space battle. Dogfight mode might just be 5v5.
Exactly my thoughts. AI are a welcome addition for fleet battles. It'll help the scale a lot. Better than tiny 5v5 battles taking on a Star Destroyer.
So, what's a solid HOTAS setup for PC that doesn't break the bank? Can a decent one be bought for under $100?
Yeah, this offers best of both worlds; you want stripped down PvP combat, you can play Dogfight instead. I'll definitely be playing both.

This works for fleet battles. It will make the game feel a lot bigger than it is but probably won't devolve into a huge cluster.
This is the first EA game that I've been interested in a very long time. It looks damned good but I wouldn't get it until I build a new gaming PC.
This game is using the old X-Wing and Tie Fighters as a base, and the Y-Wing was the bomber that was equivalent to the Tie Bomber. Besides, Squadrons is trying to somewhat balance the different fighters so it doesn't have stuff like the B-Wing and Tie Defender.
I assumed this was the case (which is cool). I saw at least one Rebel ship that's not one of the 5 "classes".
EDIT: This one:

Im definitely interested after watching the reveal.
Just need a lot more impressions before I'm convinced.
PSVR for Single player and regular tv for MP sounds like how I'd want to play this.
Kudos to Motive for including VR support!

Not sure if it's been posted, but the minimum/recommended/VR specs are up:
I just barely meet the recommended VR specs, hopefully that's enough for my Rift.

It's an oldie, but IL-2 is still a great dogfighting game that's not overly complex.
For now it's supported on PC.
It looks really good!
Can't wait to get on the mic and start quoting the movies, 'stay on target', 'I have you now', 'it's a trap', I'm going to get muted so fast 🤣

The Sequel trilogy made me go from a really hardcore fan to thinking I was over with the franchise. The Mandalorian, Fallen Order, and Soule's Vader run reminded me of what I loved about it. I'm back in and I'm willing to give this game a chance because it looks lovely. But the $40 price tag and the fact its EA is telling me to temper my expectations. I suddenly feel a great urgency, more so than after Alyx, to pick up a VR setup though!
I always loved playing 1st person in BFII's Starfighter Assault, but hardly did because of the disadvantage when playing 3rd person players. So I'm hyped. And that price is very tempting.
I think I've been losing interest since Phantom Menace, though I really enjoyed Last Jedi. Most of everything else just hasn't worked for me (especially the Mandalorian!).
Ah, well. No ill will to the franchise. This looks very cool.

Mother of God.
Will be there day 1 for VR with Index. Tempted to buy a HOTAS for it too.

This is most definitely not following in the footsteps of the Factor-5 Star Wars games at all. It's decidedly following in the footsteps of X-Wing series.
