Electronic Arts has also confirmed that the PC version will support VR from the get-go.

Reveal trailer is in 30 minutes.

 

[Cravis]

No PS4 VR? Well that really sucks.

 

[JOEVIAL]

Trailer looked great. Very safe though. We need to see gameplay, and I imagine we will see a deep-dive this Thursday.

What's this rumor that it's $39.99 at launch? Any validity to that?

 

[FranXico]

And PS5/XSX? Just rely on BC?

 

[Gamezone]

At least this will support Steam natively it seems. No Origin, and Steam achievements added.

 

[Cravis]

No PS4 VR? Well that really sucks.

I stand corrected! PS4 VR confirmed!

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Hope there's no mouse aim. It's an unfair advantage (see War Thunder).

 

[spookyfish]

Where does it say VR for PS4? That would sell it to me. Otherwise, I’m a no.

Now this is a game where VR should be excellent with.

Geoff Kingley said on stream that it will cost 40 bucks.

Read the text on the "Stay on target" image in the OP. It says VR support is for both PS4 and PC.

Exciting to see VR gaining traction!

 

[dorkimoe]

Not a fan of space combat. But interested in seeing gameplay

 

[DetectiveBananas]

 

[HE1NZ]

Looks like an expansion to Battlefront 2 campaign

Spoiler

which sucked balls

 

[Romulus]

Yes, its confirmed. But Iron Man should have already done that. lol

Anyway this looks good, and I'm wondering how this will be. Can VR players fly against non vr players? Is that the meaning of cross play? I don't think that's fair for non VR players if so.

 

[royox]

SW Squadrons: 5vs5 battles.
SW Battlefront 2 Starfighter Assault: 12 vs 12 battles +40 AI.

The "Simulator" part has to be SO FUCKING GOOD to sacrifice so much stuff.

I expect a 1st Person camera from the cockpit and resource management as in Xwing vs TieFighter otherwise that makes no sense.

 

[The Shepard]

I've wanted a vr x wing title ever since that demo in battlefront one. Was excellent. Iron man, walking dead, darth vader and potentially resi 8. The psvr ain't doing so bad atm, Keep em coming.

 

[Stuart360]

A month before next gen. You would think EA would be having a 4k/60 version ready for next gen.

All ps4 games released now have to have ps5 support so it's rather likely.

 

[dottme]

My hype was quickly going done with the leaks. This looks nothing that I want. I wanted a follow up to Rogue Squadron/Rogue Leader.

 

[Gp1]

Energy management - check (in the trailer)
Simcade style - check
Non aggressive lootbox - check

Ea Star Wars (launch title) redemption???

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Fidelity of this is probably going to be crazy in VR on the PS5. Should be able to max the headset resolution and also have great visual details. I just hope the actual game is good.

5v5 is fucking dumb though considering Xwing vs TIE Fighter had 8 players on 56k.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Read the text on the "Stay on target" image in the OP. It says VR support is for both PS4 and PC.

A paragraph below says it will get PC VR support from the get-go. Wonder if that means PSVR will be added after launch.

 

[Stuart360]

No i meant an actual next gen release.

 

[Romulus]

I just texted a friend of mine that played the Battlefront VR demo that's 25min long. He's a huge Rogue Squadron fan and told me if they ever make anything remotely similar to the demo he played, but longer, he's getting VR on the spot. He still talks about it.

 

[ultrazilla]

Being able to play the whole game in VR you say?

Give me some puke bags and a pile of dramamine baby!

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

[MoreJRPG]

They’ll enhance it.

 

[Moses85]

VR.... now I am thinking about it

 

[Romulus]

Just sent a group text and sold at least 3 PSVR's. Pay me Sony.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Feels like we're starting to get a little more genre diversity, like the old days, next-gen? Am I off the mark here?

Very cool in any case. I really enjoy this type of game.

 

[PSwitchBox44]

I enjoyed the trailer and I’m down for some good old fashioned X-wing/Tie Fighter fun! VR is a nice added bonus as the Xwing “demo” that was packed in with Battlefront was very well done.

 

[Romulus]

One thing for PS4 Pro VR owners. If you played the Battlefront VR mission, that never got a Pro patch like I imagine this will.

 

[48086]

Lol

[Gp1]

Lol

Looks like the last white pilot in the resistance was Wedge

ps: true question now, is there any aliens on the imperial ranks? (except for Thrawn)

 

[skneogaf]

I need information about this game supporting thrustmaster hotas warthog? I will upgrade my driving simulator to a flight simulator for this and ace combat 7.

 

[INC]

Talk is cheap

Show me that VR goodness, I cant do dick with a cg trailer lads

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Lol

STUNNINGANDBRAVE

I'm stunned the empire pilots aren't all straight white males. Since we're Nazis and stuff, might as well be space Nazis.

Real shame it's not trying to be like X-Wing & TIE Fighter games (even that fabled series faltered when it went PVP focused with X-Wing vs TIE Fighter) with a focus on varied campaigns and missions. PVP dogfighting gets old fast if they don't do something in depth & strategic like Allegiance.

 

[Gp1]

They are all males, if you go by their gender at birth.

IT'S MAAAM NOW!

 

[Mihos]

man... No story mode?

 

[Alexios]

man... No story mode?

There is story mode from both sides POV but word was the focus is the PVP so I don't imagine it will be too in depth. Which sounds crap since a 5 v 5 PVP also doesn't sound very in depth. Hope it's not just a quick cash in while they still have the SW license.

 

[Romulus]

Some extra info

Campaign features customizable characters and you play as both Rebels and Empire during the campaign.

There is also another mode that is coop, but not many details on it.

 

[Romulus]

Can you not read the OP of the very thread you posted in? All disappointed for no fucking reason at all

If there is character customization then I'm interested, if it launched without it and I have to play as these ugly characters, no thanks. I wish they would have continued updates for Battlefield 2 however, it doesn't feel complete as there are missing heroes like Padme and QuiGonJin, I really wanted to create some epic battles from the movies. Color me disappointed.

 

[BlackTron]

I still want a new Rogue Squadron, but I'll take this as a consolation.

Better to have something, than nothing at all.

Battlefront 2 StarFighter assault can scratch that itch.

 

[BlackTron]

Battlefront 2 StarFighter assault can scratch that itch.

I only played the first Battlefront. I never touched 2 and just kind of wrote it off completely.

Is it really worth playing? Did they fix it since the abysmal launch and bad PR?

A month before next gen. You would think EA would be having a 4k/60 version ready for next gen.

Yeh, that's called the PC version.
