Star Wars: Squadrons

[QualityChimp]

EA games have become the equivalent of saucy peep shows, where you have to keep throwing money at it to get to the good stuff.

I'd love a campaign with Co-op. Seems to be 5v5 only??

Sounding like one to skip tbh, presumably it's a leftover from before EA was slapped for mtx

It's been confirmed this will be playable on PSVR. Lord knows how much of it.

If they took the single VR mission from BF1 and cloned it with a storyline and being able to play on either side, I would pay for that. But full price would be too much of a pisstake.

Doubt they'd do anything cool like let you toggle shield/engine/laser output.

Just like in the X-wing books!

... just like in the X-wing game!

They might have something like this; I think Freelancer did it by just letting you cycle between "balanced, engines, shields, weapons".

[kryss]

Rogue Squadron and Rebel Strike let you toggle how the blaster were linked for firing. That plus a shield slider

Would be plenty.

i wouldn't know about the starwars books myself, but it already been pointed (and where i know it from) is the X-wing games on the PC. If it's BF2 like i suspect, then the best we'll get is cooldown speed boost, cooldown rapid fire and cooldown health regen all with lovely card boosters to slot in. Fighter mode certainly not bad, from the games i had once i got use the strange default controls got mostly ruined by hero ships, i really hope they cut that crap out or have a separate mode it.

All of it apparently

Surely the PS5 could handle the full fat Pro version fast enough for PSVR? But would EA patch it or charge for it?

I guess I should actually install and play X-Wing.

$40 and full campaign playable in PSVR? I’m in.

Maybe. VR games are unique in terms of performance, so being on a more powerful machine is no guarantee. You usually have to do a bit of work to the game to get it running.

Only exception is when the computer absolutely dwarfs the capability of the original platform, like the Oculus version of Quake 2 (which is fantastic btw).

Another SW title with no MTX. Seems like this has been a conscious decision after the Battlefront 2 debacle.

I imagine the VR aspect will be good, otherwise for some reason this reeks of fluff stuff from EA so my expectations are low.

Cross play!
if wipeout is anything to go by anyone playing in vr is going to absolutely own anyone who isn’t.
