Watched the EA play 2020, there was more info from the game dev which has me on board, confirmed shield/laser/engines levels, the ability to cut engines and drift which would the next level of control i would be looking for and alot more advanced than BF2. I still expect the single player stuff to be a glorified tutorial for 10 or so missions.

From that trailer seems that the old LucasArts games will still offer more variety though, at least in ship selection.
It looks like there might finally be a X-Wing game for the currently generation of gamers, we'll see how it ends up, but from what's shown I at least have an interest on keeping an eye of the development of the game.

EA have confirmed that Squadrons is not a Live Service and it will have no microtransactions.
Star Wars: Squadrons doesn't have microtransactions, isn't a live-service game
"We're trying to say with this game that we have a $40 price point, we want to feel generous to players, and we want it to feel like a complete experience. Like, 'You gave us your $40. Here's a game that you will love. Thank you.' That's it. This isn't something we are building around a live-service strategy. It's built around a game that is complete and great in its own right. That's not to say we will never add anything, I guess we could, but it's not presented as a live service."

I could imagine if it blows up and it sells stupid numbers they might be tempted to put resources on DLC or a sequel. But I genuinely believe they didn't build a GaaS here. Also we know from that EA Play event that Motive are working on at least one other project and they aren't the biggest of studios, so they may not even be able to support it without an another developer anyway.

So at least from a technical pov is definitely built on those games. Just with an enforced in-cockpit view (or at least no third-person view was shown in the reveal).

Just bumped into this small tidbit on Resetera - no HOTAS support on the console versions, including PS4 and PSVR. A bit 'naff news for those with those Thrustmaster sticks.

EDIT: Updated response confirms only the PC is confirmed to have HOTAS support at this stage. So leaves the chance of console support for sticks coming. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsSqu...ps4xbox_hotas/Last edited by Digfox; 10-07-2020, 12:20.

Just gotta to hope the small team can get to it before they've moved on to something else.
