As cool as this is, I'm weary about how much fun it'll really be more than the fact that it's an EA game. If this is going to play how i think, it's going to be one of those games where each ship has to fill a role and if you get people that pick a ship and don't actually play their role if you're doing online solo, then it can sour the experience. Kind of how like if you play Overwatch or League of Legends, when a person doesn't actually do anything other than screw around or you have a healer or dps running away to explore the map.
Not to mention it looks like it will require some actual coordination which is awesome but a crap shoot if you're doing online solo. I can already picture the flaming that will happen if you get lets say a bomber that gets torn to shreds because they went in with no cover from fighters and what not. Looks fun but I'm gonna wait and see how the gameplay is on released.
I am just so excited about this game. It really looks like a true successor to X-Wing and Tie Fighter. I always prayed but never thought there would be interest in building a game like this again. I suppose this shows a shift, possible larger market for star fighter sims…That could be good for those of us that enjoy the genre
I HATE these types of trailers, show the real game-play, not 3 second bursts… cutaway, 4 seconds, cut away, 3 seconds cut away… Kindergartner teacher voice? Check
Anyone remember X-Wing vs. TIE fighter? What a classic. Did pretty much everything you saw above and more (granted very dated engine-wise). I hope they took the good stuff from that series though.

THESE ARE THE GAMES when you talk about SHIPS in star wars universe. Still the best star wars games ever made. As SIMULATORS (not an arcade like battlefront or rogue sqadron) the fun is in other level, far more imersive and dramatic.
The old players of those classics are very excited with "squadrons". The kids from battlefront dont.
I don't even like flight games, but damn, this looks good, hope it does well
My eye is twitching cause they purposely break the teams down to odd numbers when squadrons are always even.
I hope for a Republic Era squadron gameplay too.

I really hope the menu really is in the cockpit and doesnt fill up your screen. I want it to look cinematic like in the trailer

Graphics look like candy dripping awesomeness

Can you only play a Black or an Asian person or is it ok to be white in his game?
…But where are the B-wings?!
supports joystick and throttle or two joysticks?

– Spacecraft classes
– Costumize your spacecraft
– Drones, turrets and other shit
– Social hub
– sequencial objectives rather freetochoice objectives
I don't know what but i already smell the flop, i seriously hope not but the last decade leave me little faith on EA and Fuckney.
I sure love the “gameplay”
Looks cool. But damn the force truly is female huh lol.
This is literally just old battlefront 2 space battles on ps2. Don’t know why they couldn’t have incorporated this in the new battlefront.
This looks graphically awful… I do hope they do another graphics engine pass, because this looks like its more than 10 years old already.
what ever happened to the mc-80s??
