A/V Star Wars: Squadrons

Hah, well, I’m hoping they’d get creative with it. They don’t need to depict what literally happened. They just need to make a game that’s fun.

 

The thing that people don't understand about video games is that they have to be engaging to play over anything else--including a stifling, restricting adherence to canon.

 

But then maybe they should make the games AU to begin with, like TFU:USE or the end of Matrix Revolutions. It feels nice to say a strict adherence to canon is stifling but at the end of the day canon is gonna have to incorporate the games and it will be painful.

 

Why are U-Wings on box art with fighter sims, they're troop transports dangit.

In this level while flying a troop transport try to see how long you last as the TIE Interceptors pick you to pieces. Final level cutscene "We're going down!"

 

I'm thinking about how XWA's big advance was letting you fly freighters with independent turrets and stuff and how U-wings would have been right at home in there.

 

I'm also thinking about how Rogue Squadron's boss battle with Moff Seerdon's heavily armed and shielded assault shuttle ends very quickly when you plug three proton torpedoes into his hull

 

Provided you can even target that piece of ****. Every time I get him in my sight he's already zooming past me again.

 

I really hope this game allows two player co-op for vehicles like the Snowspeeder or U wing.Also really want a good solid campaign mode.

 

Hrm, so random guess...but I'm thinking this will probably be War Thunder or World of Warplanes set in the GFFA?

 

Full trailer


Starting to get interested in this - looks like it might be a legitimate good game not some cheesy thing.

Overview

Looks like you can fly TIE/ln, TIE/sa, TIE/in, and TIE Reapers as Empire and X-wing, A-wing, Y-wing, U-wing as Rebels

Spoiler: Images

 

It still saddens me not to see the LucasArts logo on these trailers.

 

See those TIE Bombers with the beam cannons? That's a missed opportunity to put in the TIE Experimental M1

 

They had some on the Reaper too

 

Also, finally, a Starhawk

are we going to entertain the notion that the Blue Mon Calamari officer is a survived Raddus?

 

Wait has Wedge always been depicted wearing that same helmet? It looks like the one on the cover of Rebel Dream, but I never really took a close look to see if that's the same as the ones he wore in the movies.

 

This will be tied in with Shadow Fall.
