Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Star Wars: Squadrons

Don’t have PSVR but I’d love to try this out in VR! I have a Quest, though I don’t know if Oculus and EA will work out a deal. Think Microsoft will jump into the VR market at some point?

Played the VR Star Wars level on PSVR a while back and it was amazing. Will definitely get this eventually (after price drops).

@Nermannn good question about MS and VR. Guessing they’ll buy someone like Oculus or HTC or whoever and go down that route most likely. Can’t see them spending time developing anything themselves after failure of Kinnect and when someone else already has the tech ready and waiting.

@StonyKL that’s a good point. Seems like Microsoft has the money to buy whoever they want.

@Nermannn Oculus is owned by Facebook so they won’t be selling (they are worth 800 billion). Htc would be a good buy for them though. The Vive is a very nice headset and Htc is only worth 7.5 billion which is what they bought Bethesda for. Although Valve had a hand in developing the original Vive, I do not believe they own the rights to the subsequent models.

8.25 and 3.75? Whats with this scoring 😂😂 round it up

I played the Closed Testing for Squadrons. Wasn’t a fan myself, felt the turning and maneuverability of the ships was very slow and there was no options to change sensitivity. Feedback on the forums suggested it wasn’t even a skill thing, it was by design which was strange. Especially considering the ease and speed in Battlefront flying.

Will still be buying for the VR functionality!

Microsoft doesn’t need to get into VR. It’s a niche market right now. They just need to focus on making great games for the Xbox ecosystem. We don’t need their 1st party wasting time & resources on VR.

My favorite star wars games were rogue squadron 2 and the Hoth level in Shadows of the empire. I tried Battlefront 2 flying but it just didn’t feel as satisfying; though maybe it was the multiplayer modes. I love the idea of this as a single player and will check it out. I may double dip if Sony puts out a PSVR sometime soonish.

I’ve got it downloading on steam at the moment! Went for PC over Xbox as I know my flight stick will work 100% and I’ve got a VR headset. I’ve been waiting for this ever since the battlefront VR mission. Means I can finally delete that off my PS4

@Glassneedles oh there’s a steam version... that means it should work with Oculus Link. May have to try it out!

@Nermannn yup that’s why I’ve bought it! Back when I got my quest I was heavily debating getting a rift S instead then a few months later they announced link and so far it’s worked almost 100% perfectly for me.

I can't wait to play this... next Christmas when it's in EA play for free. Seriously no need to buy any games for a long time for myself due to work and family schedule keeping me busy
