Attacking a Star Destroyer in VR - Star Wars: Squadrons Cinematic Gameplay

Another video showcasing this amazing VR experience. The story and amount of controls could have been much better and I understand people not liking the game on flat-screen but in VR you can't deny that it looks incredible.

The sending of one squadron (regardless how good they are) against an Imperial cruiser & their 5 squadrons of Tie Fighters is the essence of star wars plot armor.

This is the type of gaming experience I used to dream about as a kid in the 90s. Can’t believe the future is here.

[@kagom6830]

Yknow this actually did exist in the 90s with the x-wing series, it just looks better now 😂

[@alfonsedente9679]

Wing Commander was a thing too

[@TK-xm4en]

Was remembering playing StarFox for the first time and Rogue Squadron on Nintendo 64 thinking how awesome that was...and SkyFox on Apple2e prior to that in monochrome.

[@MrAppleOrchard]

If I've learned anything from Star Wars, it's that 6 X-wings can destroy any piece of imperial hardware ever created... because reasons.

[@warpcrafter]

Ages ago I used to play a PC game called X-Wing VS TIE Fighter. This really takes me back!

[@1armronindad748]

Ages ago, I used to play the Star Wars game arcade vector graphics game at Chuck E Cheese! BTW, Squadrons is my favorite VR game!

[@danprudholme1733]

Xwing, Tie fighter, than Xwing vs Tie fighter. Awesome memories.. Dark forces was cool too.

[@HawkGTboy]

I remember that, and I remember the graphics being cutting edge!

[@fayenwolf]

You'll be thrilled to hear it's currently on Steam, a pc gaming platform and it supports a mod you can install that updates/modernizes the graphics. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKfClqd6d7GglZo

[@mco119jj]

Playing Squadrons on flat screen and playing it in VR are almost two different games. On a monitor it’s a a lot of fun…in VR, it’s the kind of game you’ll talk about for years, especially if you’re an OG trilogy fan. For me, after growing up on the “X-wing” series, this game was like a fantasy come true.

[@buzzfunk]

What VR set do you use for it?

[@Niever]

Or even Rogue Squadron for N64

[@mco119jj]

@@buzzfunk Just an Oculus Quest 2 with a link cable. I have an RTX 2070 Super with 16gb of RAM. I honestly have to check my processor, but I remember it was kind of in the middle of the pack when I bought this gaming rig. Works wonderfully though. I'm getting high, consistent frame rates.

[@DustinBlaise]

I remember playing Squadron for the first time. It was cool and fun. and then I set up my HOTAS and hooked my VR to try that out. I flipped out to how much more detail I could see and felt I was in a real X-Wing. Nearly brought a tear to my eye

[@VulgrDisplay]

How did you get the controls to work properly? When I tried I could not get a working control scheme.

[@Xashe_]

This game is sooooooo fucking immersive in VR. I really wish this game didn't suffer the backlash of BF2 being cancelled. This game is soo fun

Awesome in VR, just wish the mission weren't so same same, flying close to some planets and caves would have been great

tie fighter in VR, my dream:p

[@josephburge168]

Man it’s just too bad the multiplayer is dead was such an amazing game on the oculus and even though I’m a Xwing kinda guy there was something special about flying the Y wing and B wing. Rotating the entire ship while dogfighting in the b wing looked awesome and the Y wing was a straight tank. Loved it.

[@TheQuadLaunchers]

I only fired up the game twice on launch week. It was just so apparent that for anyone without a full setup, that in the multiplayer that you’d have to sweat 110% for hours every day to not go 1-20 every round. I put it down thinking “man, I wish I didn’t have to try so hard to have fun. I don’t want this game to take up all of my gaming time.” Shame that people with VR setups weren’t able to keep a baseline level of life on the game if it’s as dead as you say.

[@TGOPoma]

One of the biggest reasons it died as quick as it did is that at the end of the day if you aren't grinding on multiplayer there isn't much to do. The Campaign is lackluster and the multiplayer, while enjoyable, is a PVP mess full of cheaters and unbalanced lobbies.@@TheQuadLaunchers

[@matthewfahrig4484]

Such a shame there isn't many players to this game anymore, it was awesome when it first came out

[@efrainflores3902]

This is a result of pushing multiplayer to make it enjoyable instead of focusing on better AI for single player. The original battlefront 2 is still being played because of its ability to be played offline and its challenging AI players

[@richhogg8074]

@Efrain Flores the single player campaign is pretty good in squadrons, I think the issue is the lack of game modes and maps, seems like the game was a quick cash grab they didn't want to support in any way which seems stupid to me but yeah, I swear xwing vs tie fighter had more multi-player modes and that game was out in the 90s using GameSpy lol

[@Boba_Fett_Bounty_Hunter]

I would love to get a vr set, mostly for Blades and Sorcery though. But this would be so awesome, flying through space. How... immersive is it?

Very immersive, the only negative is the motion sickness which takes a while to get used to, unfortunately for some people it is harder. (It's convenient that you mentioned Blade and Sorcery since that game helped me greatly to overcome VR motion sickness)

[@BootyWarriorFleeceJohnson]

I'm going to be THAT GUY for a moment just for a funny thought. Realistically its space, so sound waves wouldn't travel in a vacuum for you to hear the shots so it would be such a silent fight

[@parajerry]

I would assume there would be a lot of radio traffic and ship sounds transmitting that way to the fleet. Not silent, but you wouldn't hear an incoming bolt unless it hit you.

[@BootyWarriorFleeceJohnson]

I was just doing it for the lawlz but I do agree to that since it would be presurised and you'd hear the feedback of it being hit or internal movements @@parajerry
