Okay, I'm losing my mind over this #StarWarsSquadrons! Some other very sharp eyed folks already caught some of the UI hints that indicate this game is drawing HEAVILY on X-Wing & TIE fighter! So I went through to find more, and let me tell you, I'm hyped. 1/?
First up the thing we've all been most excited for, POWER management!

We get a VERY clear shot of the power distribution for Lasers, Shields, and engines. We even see them in motion as energy drains out of lasers & shields & into engines! 2/?
The arrows under the indicators appear to correspond to D-Pad directions.

We even see the engine arrow light up.

Lasers seem to be the only one that can be pushed up or down. Shields & engines appear to both be all or nothing commitments. Neat choice! 3/?

There is Wedge Antilles in #StarWarsSquadrons , set after the events of Return of the Jedi.

The entire game will be playable in PSVR from beginning to end and will support crossplay across PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

It will be released on October 2, 2020.
On Pc, it will also support VR, as the game is featuring first-person starship action.

@MitchyD (Battlefront II, 2017) and @Joanna_Berry (Star Wars: The Old Republic. , 2011) wrote the campaign (which should be a few hours long).
@MitchyD @Joanna_Berry Maps confirmed: Yavin Prime, Galitan moon.

You can modify your ship and... redirect power between its different systems? As in X-Wing flight sim?! <3

5v5 online battles, and low price (not 60 dollars then).

[Thread] A brief history of starfighters piloting in #StarWars video games.

On the occasion of the unveiling of #StarWarsSquadrons , the next game from @EAStarWars and @MotiveMontreal , we will quickly return to its predecessors. (not an exhaustive list 😅)

Stay on target! 🚀
1982
It all starts with the very first (official) Star Wars game: The Empire Strikes Back (Atari 2600) by Parker Brothers.

It's simply the Battle of Hoth, with a pixelated T-47 airspeeder (aka Snowspeeder).

So I'm intending to do a post/pick a day of art I've bought or commissioned from an artist hopefully along with @chiefy2shoes & @seddonism
Day 1 is #hellboy by the great @duncanfegredo This started a theme of characters eating ice cream, I've not got too many in this theme though Image
Day #2 of sketches/commissions posts of art that I've got over the years. Continuing the theme of characters with #icecream here is #thegoon by the amazing Eric Powell @goonguy done at @ThoughtBubbleUK in Leeds. #ComicCon #commissions #comics #goon @chiefy2shoes @seddonism Image
Day #3 of art/commissions bought over the years. Baroness eating an ice cream by @RachaelAtWork. Think this was my final "character eating an ice cream" so not many in that theme, need to do more @chiefy2shoes @seddonism @Talking_Joe @TheFullForce #GIJoe #Baroness #comicart Image
