It will have a singleplayer campaign, although the focus seems to be on multiplayer.

Anything pozzed with nu Star Wars is garbage.

I'll be the last to play it if it's actually decent (true to the original trilogy).

Until then I can always go back to TIE Figher, X-Wing, etc.

The fact you'd even write something like "the new tie-fighter we've been waiting for?" is why you're all permanently disappointed with video games.

I'm in cautious optimism mode.

The problem with games focused on team multi is that many times your team suck balls and you have to carry the game.

 

[deuxhero]

It's EA and literally the first thing revealed is a sterotypical black woman. Pass.

It's not full-priced?

Also this is directed by Ian Frazier, the designer of Ultima 5 remake Lazarus.

This looks like total trash.

This looks like total trash.

All we've seen is a cinematic trailer, literally nothing else. So this is based on... what exactly?

Well fwiw: https://news.ea.com/press-release/e...ounce-star-wars-squadrons-available-october-2

Star Wars: Squadrons will offer rich cosmetic and gameplay customization options with rewards and bonuses that are earned solely through gameplay. As players move up the ranks, they’ll earn components such as weapons, hulls, engines and shields to customize the performance of their starfighters; and gain cosmetic items to customize their cockpit, ship exteriors, and appearance of their pilot.

 

[Infinitron]

Pre-order STAR WARS™: Squadrons to get the New Republic Recruit and Imperial Ace cosmetic items!

Imagine this being the very first sentence in your game's Steam description. They're not even trying.

 

[Tehdagah]

I want the LEGO game more

You said "looks like trash." Also EA just gave us the pretty darn good Jedi Fallen Order. Just say "it has teh womynz and teh blackz in it!" and get it over with.

 

[Morgoth]

No, it's because it looks like trash.

Addiction game mechanics - gotta play because you want to unlock this or that item, no thanks for this crap.

Barking at the wrong tree here, Morgoth is a cynical old man, not a racist. Unlike certain other individuals in this thread.


While EA might chirp about no microtransactions here the preorders https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/star-wars-squadrons/home show different rarities in skins which is a surefire sign for lootboxes.

 

[karoliner]

It took EA 7 years to make a new Rogue Squadron and when it finally happens it's lootbox nonsense. Good thing it expires in 2023.

 

[wahrk]

I wish I could be interested, but this is just another game that should have been made 10 years ago before Disney and EA got their slimy hands all over the franchise.

I'm just trying to point out that someone saying a game looks like trash when they haven't seen one second of said game kind of makes them look like a reactionary idiot.
