kingofbattle8174 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Playstation trophies is running an article about a possible leak for a new Star Wars project called Star Wars Squadron. Tag line is Pilots wanted. So from my guess it will be an online multiplayer dogfighting game. The leak was spotted on the xbox store but most likely be a multi platform release. More could be announced soon. edit: This game is now confirmed by EA after the leak was noticed. It will have single player but the focus is for online. Release for all consoles this coming fall. First trailer to drop Monday the 15th. https://www.engadget.com/star-wars-squadrons-ea-leak-191018081.html https://www.playstationtrophies.org/news/news-31111-Star-Wars-Squadron-Leaks-on-the-Xbox-Store--Features-X-Wings-and-TIE-Fighters.html Edited June 13, 2020 by kingofbattle8174 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb5f Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Not a popular opinion maybe but would love to see a Battlefront 3. The first one was great and the second one was very solid by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communistwookiee Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 All I want is a Star Wars skinned Ace Combat game with a good single-player component. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a possibility. I just hope it controls better than Battlefronts fighter combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh4d0wzcs Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Saw that this morning was thinking it was just a mobile game. If it is just a dogfighting game I'd be pretty interested as I loved that mode in bf2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofbattle8174 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 New update There will be a single player campaign but the focus will be multiplayer dogfighting.

EIdain Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Star Wars: Squadrons Multiplayer DetailsMultiplayer will take the form of 5v5 battles, with two modes announced. Fleet Battles will task each team with destroying the opposing teams flagship, while Dogfights will simply ask each team to destroy as many opponents as possible. Locations will be both known and unknown, with Yavin Prime and the shattered moon of Galitan announced so far.The announcement press release makes clear that squadron composition will be important, implying multiple ship classes to experiment with. EA also confirmed that, while Star Wars: Squadrons will include cosmetic and gameplay-related customisation, all upgrades will be earned solely through playing the game.Playing through the game will earn you weapons, hulls, engines and shields to allow you to tweak your starfighter into whatever you want it to be, while cosmetics will alter your cockpit, ship exterior and pilot.Star Wars: Squadrons Story Mode DetailsSquadrons will feature a single player story mode set after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the Death Star II. Alternating between two customisable pilots, the story will feature brand new characters, and cameos from familiar faces.The two pilots you play as will show you both sides of the game's conflict – one flies for the New Republic's Vanguard Squadron, and the other for the shattered Galactic Empire's Titan Squadron.In a press release, Ian Frazier, creative director at Motive says: “Through the collaboration of the teams at Motive and Lucasfilm, we’ve been able to create a high-fidelity starfighter experience with an authentic storyline that invites Star Wars fans to explore never-before-seen corners of the galaxy in their own ship. We’re excited to show all this in action this week at EA Play Live.”Release Date & Price Star Wars: Squadrons will be released on October 2 as both a physical and digital product, for $39.99 USD (other pricings unavailable at time of writing). EA Access and Origin Access Basic subscribers can play 10 hours of the game for free at launch, and will get 10% off if they choose to buy it. Origin Access Premier subscribers will be given the full PC game on release. from IGNGameplay trailer to follow on Thursday at EA Play More info on their site here Edited June 15, 2020 by EIdain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golem25 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) - Oct. 2 release date - $40 price tag - Set after 'Return of the Jedi' - Single player/multiplayer campaigns - Cross-play support - No microtransactions - VR on PC & PS4 - Source Sounds cool so far EDIT; Oops, duplicate topic from the one in the PS4 section. Sorry for making you clean this one up, mods; will be more careful next time. Edited June 15, 2020 by Golem25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communistwookiee Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Gotta wonder about the $40 price tag. Is it lack of content or trying to get more people to buy in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanomachy_75 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Seems like they are focusing on a 5 vs 5 MP game here ... Seems MEH! Story mode IM seeing a 4 hour story to be honest! This will be boring after a week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 No microtransactions, you say? In that case, I hope it is good and if so, I hope it is successful. I'll probably get it- I waited maybe a week to play Jedi: Fallen Order and I loved it. I'm not big on online gaming but a dogfighting Star Wars sim, I can maybe get behind!

Seems like lack of content (a smaller game). Only the star fighter assault portion of the Battlefronts. The part I did not enjoy as much but it being Star Wars, I might get this eventually.

Slava Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Just for some context. EA has cancelled 3 Star Wars projects since 2017: Project Ragtag by Visceral Games in 2017 Project Orca by EA Vancouver in the beginning of 2019 Project Viking by EA Vancouver and Criterion Games in the middle of 2019 The second game was cancelled because it was to big, and EA wanted a game to come out earlier to fill a hole in their financial plan for fall 2020. Now we know what this game is. Squadrons is being developed by Motive, one of the newest EA studios. This is actually their first own project. Before that they only helped with developing Battlefront II and Anthem. We also know that Jade Raymond, an industry veteran and the founder of Motive, left the studio in 2018. So, my concern is that this game is going to be rushed because EA wants a Star Wars game for this fall. And the new studio might have some leadership problems after Raymond's departure. Doesn't sound very promising. Edited June 17, 2020 by Alderriz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DysectorZA Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Glad to hear that this is getting support for PSVR! Will definitely be playing this in VR then. I remember the PSVR demo they included with Battlefront 1 and that was pretty awesome, but so short. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played through the first half of the story mode and it just wasn't doing it for me. Mission were kind of boring me and the story itself/writing/characters weren't impressing me. I also recall the multiplayer servers being a bit broken at launch so that's why I never got into that. Just moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
