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

[@evanwilliams8627]

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.

[@guillermogutierrez710]

I experienced this with X-Wing Alliance in the late 90s. It was awesome.

[@TreeRockCreations]

That's nice but this game is boring and too easy. Also, the pilots talk about nothing, useless information.

[@raybarry4307]

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.

[@Reblwitoutacause]

Rebellions are built on hope!

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

[@1armronindad748]

Same here. Loved both Tie fighter and X wing vs Tie fighter.

[@TheChriscrowder]

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

[@mco51193]

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

[@mco51193]

@@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.

[@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.

[@fabianrocha9924]

I mean the Game probably wouldnt be fun if you couldnt win it at least a few times

[@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

[@thetumorguy830]

[@TorAndreBrresen]

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

[@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

You gotta love how the massive Star Destroyer waits patiently for the fleet to arrive instead of obliterating them immediately. Very sportsmanly of the Evil Empire.

[@matthewfahrig4484]

I love this content. This was genuinely fun to watch. You feel like a kid again finally getting to see what you imagined when you pretended to be a fighter pilot after watching the movies. Just as simple as watching someone play it in vr satisfied that “child in me’s” dream

[@jeffmcarthur5617]

At one point a tie fighter is flying by and is shot by the X-wing, and just then a pop-up ad appeared which read, "Life is uncertain."

When you can nearly live out your boyhood dreams of being a racing driver and even x wing pilot in VR. Glad to live in a time like this where vr has advanced so much. All we really need are more expansive open world VR games than just skyrim vr and fo4 vr. Can you imagine red dead redemption or gta 5 in vr?!

[@richhogg8074]

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

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)

Approaching a Star Destroyer from behind gives me a chance to fire proton torpedoes to the shield generator spheres of the destroyer. Stay behind and fire upon the engines until it is destroyed. If you have many enemies make a first pass and then form a ring. Any enemy hunting a ship in the ring will have someone in the rear.

[@warriorsorb1111]

It's fun, especially in VR, but I feel like the developers and most of the players abandoned the game. Fleet Battles is pretty much history and the Dogfights are barely active as is. If they kept the game updated and add more features and different matches, I'm certain the game would improve better.

[@TGOPoma]

Issue is the Devs were screwed over by EA. EA told them to make a multiplayer cash grab instead of a proper game, and gave them a very limited time to do it, though thankfully they were still able to add on singleplayer for at least some enjoyment offline. But the multiplayer of the game died off real quick after release.
