Star Wars: Squadrons

[celedhring]

Yeah, I'm sold.

Only question is do I buy it for PC so I can use my HOTAS joystick, or on the PS4 so I can use the big screen (and let my boys play it too).

You can't stream your PC to you TV? Steamlink works very well for me.

The answer is called an HDMI cable.

I'm sure I could, but since my PC is in a different room and the whole point was to use my thruster-joystick combo that only works on my PC, I can't see that working well.

Aren't you a Jedi?

You don't need to know if I'm a Jedi. *waves hand*

[The Brain]

Stop waving my hand.

[Barrister]

Stop waving my hand.

Move along.

I'm guessing these are the launch ships? Seems a bit meager. Where's the B-Wing?

what are the fighters behind the Tie-Advanced and the A-Wing? :uh:

You play it at the PC with the HOTAS & use Steamlink to stream it to your TV where your kids will play with a controller.

They appeared in Rogue One. They are troop transports in that movie.

So, hum, in order to make 5v5 work does that mean that the ships will be equivalent? 

I mean Empire vs Alliance in Star Wars lore is supposed to be a quantity vs quality approach.

Watch the Star Wars Explained video, he covers it a bit. But yes, it seems they're *roughly* equivalent, with the rebel ships being a bit sturdier, and the Imps a bit faster or having a bit more fire power. Though I would question that the TIE-Fighter and X-Wing are near equivalent in firepower (in the video, the TIE is shown to have a slight edge ...).

Of course in the movies the X-Wings were never the bullet sponges (with shields) that they were in the X/T games or yore.

Meh, as you say X-Wings are far better armed. Unavoidable, I guess, with 5v5. I won't touch MP so I won't care too much as long as they don't put shields on TIE fighters.

Also I presume they'll shoehorn the different models into their MP class system. I.e. the TIE Interceptor is supposed to be better than the TIE/ln across the board, but they'll make it "less armed, but faster/more agile" to fit the interceptor class.

Anyhow, I'm parched of Star Wars content that's not yet another Battlefront or lightsaber action game so I'll be getting this as long as the SP campaign isn't just a token.

the Tie Defender is the best.  Shield, speed, power.  But so few of it...

[viper37]

39,99$US, that's gotta be 100$CAN by now?

ah, never noticed.

[Syt]

They seem to be the "support" class in the game.

Yup.  The U-wing.
