The VR experience makes it one of my favourite games of all time! A childhood dream come true ❤️ it's just such a shame that the community has fallen through the floor.
I still might try find a way to play it in vr, I knew it would be awesome!!! Thanks for watching Mike!!
Yes indeed I loved this game in VR
I have just started to play it again 😏
Vr with a flight stick is amazing yall worth the dough when the game was alive
I got it at a 4 for $20 deal at gamestop and started playing it recently. It suck you cant use the psvr controllers.
I was obsessed with this game and specifically it's multiplayer while it was still active. The reason it died is that it's a niche title, and the learning curve was too high. I played in basically every tournament and actively miss dumping hours of my life into this game. Sadly, I highly doubt that we'll ever get something like this again. All that said, the 7-8 months where this game was still alive was just amazing.
That sounds awesome, I didn't realize their were tournaments and stuff as well that were ran for it. The "sequel" trilogy not making space dog fights a cool part of the those 3 movies hurts the future prospects for another game for sure. Thanks for watching and sharing Debaser, appreciate it!
I have to agree with you. The learning curve was way too high for many players. I tried to get my friends to join me in this game but they only stayed for one match. I stayed in the game for months, it was addictive. If only the skill ceiling was lower and more multi-player games modes introduced this game could have lasted longer
@@brandonjew1397 Weird question, but what was your username, or did you fly with CA or RNCR?
@Debaser1990 Sorry, I'm not familiar with the terms CA or RNCR, can you explain to me what those are?
@@brandonjew1397 Rancor Squadron and Cavern Angels squadron. They were groups of players dedicated to flying together.
They could've vastly increased the lifespan of the game by adding in modes for different eras, and even Legends content. Classic EU fighters like the Imperial Assault Gunboat, Star Viper, Skipray Blastboat, E-Wing, K-Wing, XJ, and StealthX would be a blast to fly. Hell, throwing in the Sun Crusher as a MW2-style match-ending killstreak would be funny as hell.
If there was stuff from the expanded universe PRE Disney I would probably die, that would be awesome. This game is like the one time I wish EA would have given me a reason to give them more money. It was a very one and done focused effort and then they moved on. Seeing there are alot of hungry players and fans out there that would have kept playing if they had kept it fresh. Thanks for watching, love your avatar and name, Kree!!
Not earning EA 60 trillion dollars is a deathnail
Disney doesn't like the expanded universe, mostly because they dont have full control over it. Legends was kind of a halfassed compromise that never really set well with the fan base. Main issue i had with squadrons was the control scheme was vary basic mostly focused towards consoles rather then sim players which left all the controls feeling vary janky.
@@nikushim6665 Fair, but it's possible to keep a mediocre game alive through good post launch support. You've just gotta commit to it.
@@jaffarebellion292 Well they did just put up on steam for like a buck fifty. That might temporarily drive the player base numbers up :P.
This game currently is on Steam Autumn sale for $1.99
just bought it
More than it deserves
Death Star in Rogue Leader on the gamecube-perfection!
Agreed! Those games were so good. Thanks for having a watch Hari!!
This game deserved a long life with battlefront and Jedi all three could have been the flagship ea games with passion and love behind them
I streamed this game for 2 years in Vr. So many good memories 😢
The VR experience was incredible, I just wish they included Clone Wars stuff. Would be an instant 10/10
This game came out at the perfect time for me. Not really much of a gamer, I did love Rogue Squadron growing up. Between COVID making my career basically impossible and a couple of injuries, I had basically a year to just play SWS. And it was a blast while it lasted.
That's awesome to hear!!! I'm made I didn't jump on it when the multi-player was hoping, thanks for sharing and thanks for watching Joe!!
@@JimmyPotatoTV you missed out for sure. There was this sweet spot where the mechanics became widly known but werent completely perfected yet. And it was just a good time.
I actually just flew a few dogfights for the first time in basically a year. It was fun
I personally think that this game is underrated when people talk about Modern Star Wars games , Star Wars squadrons was awesome and the single player story was decent, it could have been better but it was okay for what we got . This game being from the perspective of the pilot in the cockpit was a really smart choice and adds to the immersion . Great video by the way . 😊
Appreciate you watching Snowkid! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! As time goes on it seems to get more underrated, my initial comments and the thumbnail spoke more to launch, and how it was received by critics at that time. There is a lot of fun to have here.
@@JimmyPotatoTV personally I would keep everything the same except for a few things , number 1 have the player kill Lindon James , that would make his sacrifice more powerful . Number 2 the final battle should have jumped to the battle of jakku to where we ( the player ) get to decide which faction we want to fight on the last part of the story , if we choose empire , we along with titan squadron fight our hardest and then the empire surrenders but we flee into the unknown regions and create the first order . If we choose the rebels , we fight and and kill most of titan squadrons like sol and grey but titan three , vonreg and shen survive along with captain kerrial and are force to surrender . I’d would like if we could fight our customer character , depending on which faction we chose for the final battle .
@@AlternativeHistory32 I def like the idea of linking the final battle into the Battle of Jakku, that could have really worked.
This is such a great game, I loved the multiplayer matches, I wish servers were still full, I would love to jump in and blast some people lol
I wish there were more players...sometimes I can;t even get into matches (Fleet battles) because there isn't enough players
Seems like a ghost town these days unfortuanitly:( thanks for watching !
@@JimmyPotatoTV Ofcourse! I enjoyed the video
This game in VR with a flight Sim rig is very very very good.
But that barrier to entry is too high for most casual gamers
Just started to replay it through vr quest 2 airlink OMG! What a HUGE Difference from a flat screen! :)
Sounds awesome! Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for watching and sharing Mark!
We need a PS VR2 version
What truly killed the game was the devs saying they would stop supporting the game less than a year after release.
This is what we want in VR, beautiful graphics
This was the only reason I started vr and now I'm a vr fan
Well, a few things have changed since release: Computer is faster, have a better joystick and throttle and have a 21:9 OLED Display. I tried it again yesterday and it's SO much better. :)
I just remember the first time I got 4 of my friends around with me, and we won our first fleet battle as a team. It was an unreal experience!
If you have a Quest 2 and you own a PC version of the game, you can play this game in VR. Just get a basic gaming joystick because the controls are not optimized for VR. Gotta get used to it but honestly, a must if you have a way.
This game looks amazing. We’ve come a long way in Star Wars flight sims. I used to play this one for Windows PC when I was 6 (29 now) where you put a joystick over the keyboard. It was so awesome. Would love an even better set up nowadays for total immersion.
I still have a dream to somehow build an xwing cockpit IRL and run a game like this in it. Like you see those dudes do with trucking simulators and the hard core airplane Sims. That would be insane. Appreciate you watching and sharing Ty!!!
I've actually bought a new PC to be exactly a Gamer Laptop to play SW Squadrons even Pre-Ordered It. I like Squadron but i feel that something was missing, like more story, i felt a little short the Story Mode, either way, i still like it, and even play it because i haven't removed SW Squadrons since August 2020 and today September 2023 still installed.
Squadrons was honestly amazing. It definitely couldve reached a wider audience but ofc had a much smaller team working on it
Older gamer here. I really enjoyed X-Wing and Tie Fighter and looked forward to a 2020 update. I thought the graphics were great and gameplay was immersive. However, neither myself nor my friends were able to manage the challenge level of the game; "easy" mode was unforgiving. I'll fire it up from time to time (to remind myself how bad I am), but I'll never be able to convince my friends to try this again.
The old PC games were awesome! Thanks for watching Brian, much appreciated, did you ever play any of the wing commander games from back in the day?
@@JimmyPotatoTV I played and finished Privateer and Wing Commander IV -- solid games, in my opinion.
Yeah, I was an avid fan of X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X=Wing Alliance back in the day. We had big joysticks and a full keyboard of commands to help us manage our ships, and it was great. Squadrons definitely pays homage to the old games, simplifying the gameplay in what I feel are very appropriate ways, and adding some cool new functionality. For example, I like the fact that putting all power to shields or engines won't automatically drain laser power. And the boost when you've got your engines to full is also a very nice touch.
But yeah, I agree: the challenge level is really high, even on the easiest difficulty.
My biggest complaint is the lack of re-playability with the very short campaign. Zero customizability for most missions is a bummer. And some of the coolest customizations are possible only in multiplayer, but we can't access them because nobody is playing.
@@grifonecoronato A coop mode for the story, with the ability to use whatever ship and maybe some more optional side objectives would have gone along way for replayability. The bones for a really great game are here, one that could last a long time, maybe needed a little more time, my guess is EA had a time frame, and the devs had to get in what they could, and wanted to make sure that was a polished multiplayer mode, which from everything I read after making this video, it was. I'm kicking myself for not jumping on this game at launch. Thank you for watching Alessandro, appreciate it!
I would absolutely love to see this type of sim in a Battlefront type game(tho i kinda don't think we're going to get a Battlefront game any time soon sadly). I also love your hat lol
Thanks! I agree, I don't think a Battlefront game is coming any time soon either, which totally sucks. Because BF 2 could have been amazing. I hold out hope that times are changing soon, and companies prioritize quality over post release monetization. A game like battlefront, with all the possibilities, built in starwars fan base, it seems like such a no brainer, but they managed to mess it up twice lol. Thank you kindly for watching!
"It's Overwhemly Satisfying"
Also there are still games running on Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and Saturdays. Of you can get in touch with some of the high ranking players like myself well good you up 💪
It'as not the only "pilot an xwing or tie fighter available", it's an almost complete remake of X-Wing vs Tie Fighter.
Xwing vs tie fighter isn't available on all platforms currently,
@@JimmyPotatoTV I would hope not, it was released in 1997
Only 411 games to go! XD honestly looks like a fun weekend game to play for a SW fan. Surprised to see customization.
Yah not super deep, but there was some stuff. 411 to go!! Won't take much time lol thanks for the support having a watch Slayer!!! Appreciate you,
Star Wars Squadrons is highly underrated, a great game. I really enjoyed it, still play it 😊
This game in Virtual reality is easily one of the best experiences EVER. If they made a second one and simplified it’s mechanics slightly; it would surpass all VR games.
make it less “arena fighter 5v5” and more “space battle 12v12”
My only issue with the game was that the maps don’t really have a guide/method to orientate yourself… I occasionally find myself looking for where the battlefield is. Need a more detailed horizon, as well as buildings or structures, even more space debris.
I'm not a big VR guy, but it is THE game I want to try some point. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Should have been a series with the clone wars and old republic it absolutely deserved a series
This game really suffered from BF2's disaster launch, and didn't have the content for any longevity. I know there were some tournaments set up for it, but they seem to have fizzled out as well. I didn't get it because I was not happy with the few products being released through EA Star Wars and was/am actively try to avoid buying the games after EA's BF1 (not that many have been released after Disney's purchase of Star Wars).
All very fair, It's a damn shame the way it all went down for sure. Thanks for watching Dragorin!
This was excellent. Subscribed because of the personality and time put into the production.
Thank you for the kind words Wendell, the videos do take a little time to put together, it's nice to hear people are enjoying them. Def worth the effort, appreciate the Sub!
Been playing it again still as fun as it was when it came out just had to check
Having this game.... Annnd the HOTAS flight stick..... PSVR...... Priceless.... I loved it...❤
More pilots needed! Its a good game for sure!
Planet side combat would have added some life. Bombers could have hit ground targets. Also a bounty hunting 1v1 dog fight game mode where you hunt down harder and harder AI for both sides.
Excellent ideas, definitly would have added some more fun. Lots of potential left on the table. Thanks having a watch!!
this is my fav vr experience and cant believe more starwars fans play it. underappreciated is super accurate
Thanks for watching!! Yah, I gotta get on the vr thing!!
Thanks for the review bro
Thanks for watching it!!
VR took this game to the next level. i couldn't believe how much of the soul of this game was ripped away switching off VR
I felt the control was counter intuitive.
Great video, Jimmy. Thanks for the summary
Thanks for watching!
It’s currently for 1.99$ on Xbox!!
This game is amazing. It's too bad the multiplayer died before I could really get into it. It is on the brink of being a flight simulator, and hence a pretty tough learning curve. But SOOOO immersive and amazing. If anyone played X-wing vs Tie fighter or similar titles back in the day, this is the game for you.
This game is still popular with it's regular players. There are still tournaments running. Check out discord
Thats awesome to hear!
great video jimmy, however, I don't really think Battlefront's debacle is why the game didn't have much fanfare. Could have contributed I suppose, but I just think flight sim games are a very niche market. For example, for me personally, as a HUGE star wars fan, I don't give two flips about any sort of rogue squadron style game. I find flying around in ships boring af lmao. I want lightsabers, force powers, and even "laser" gun pew pews over flying around in ships staring at a pair of hands pushing buttons. But maybe I'm the minority there idk lol
That's a fair point for sure. Flight Sim I'm general is pretty niche, I just figure with the polish the game has, and not being a full price game, I just figured there would be some lasting power there, it's beautiful though, and pretty dang cool if you are into thr space battle stuff. Appreciate you watching Reed! Let me know how the adventures with Bode go later lol
@@JimmyPotatoTV EFF BODE!!! lmaooo
I got this game back when it came out, had been wanting a game like this for YEARS and I loved it, BUT the game was practically devoid of content. Not even in a "live service" kind of way since that always sucks. The game didn't have enough modes, very small selection of ships, few maps, few single player missions... It was just very barebones so people moved on rather quickly, sadly. Both the Rogue Squadron Trilogy and the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games that this game was trying to be a follow up to are way more complete packages by comparison.
Good VR though. A gem in that gaming platform.
Great game, crazy learning curve for casual gaming.
Playing this in vr would be epic but I'd 100% throw up...
All part of the virtual experience!!! Lol you are probably right though, thank u for watching!!
@JimmyPotatoTV no worries man, was playing starlight assault on bf2 for first time in years and remembered thus exists haha.. gonna have to get it now, thank you mate
It's fantastic in VR with the Quest 3, I wish I could play Starfield this way... :)
I FREAKING LOVE THIS GAME I hate that the que takes 30 min
If you ever get VR, come back to this game, TRUST ME.
Only if rogue squadron and this had a sequel released at the same time would be an awesome top gun style game and movie for Star Wars
imagine if the "rogue squadron" movie that was suppose to happen actually happened. That was suppose to come out THIS MONTH. They could have had a game release along side, and the world would have been a better place. Top Gun Style game and movie would be so good. Thanks for watching!
I hate how this game doesn't advertise that it supports the Hotas flight stick. I didn't even know it did until I tried it on a whim. You can use a flight stick with this game!
I love this game but i doubt there would a be a resurgence in players, but I hope they'll add something as in depth into Battlefront 2 or the next one, like in the original Battlefront 2 where there were confederate capital ships VS republic capital ships and there were transports to take each side to the other ship to attack it internally, and fighters to have dogfights outside of the ships.
That is my hope, we get a proper game combining ground air and space battle. Thanks for watching!
You can always get multiplayer sessions going on Star Wars games on Xbox live. I belong to an Xbox Live group that constantly puts up weekly play times for Dice's first Battlefront game plus the dlc so you're still able to get all the achievements as well if that is your thing. Personally I still love the first BF better than BF2. It's not tainted by the Disney trilogy so that's a big plus lmao. It does have dlc for Rogue One but the map and extra characters are actually good too. It also has a Death Star multi stage battle in the dlc that never found it's way to BF2 unfortunately.
That's actually awesome, good to know!
I just got it for 2 euros, love the game I don't mind that the online multi-player is dead I don't subscribe to Xbox live anymore anyway. now I'm just going to dive in the game and enjoy a few hours of starwars after work
Tough deal to beat! Enjoy!
thanks
My favorite game back in the day was Rogue Squadron on 64.
So playing this was amazing but the only thing I didn't like was your in space the whole time.
I wanted to fly thru Beggars Canyon again
Right there with you, what I would give for a remake of that Game, all 3 even! Thanks for watching!
is any body able to open the game
it just keeps on closing after launching it
any help is appreciated guys
Has awesome visuals, super cool idea, great basis to build a game off of and feels cool....BUT it shouldve had a more basic mode and simple 3 axis style flight style like Battlefront 2 from 2005....Sadly the limited ships, the 4 axis movement, shield/weapon/engine balancing that is confusing and not explained, and short basic story mode really made it a let down as someone who just finally played it after getting it for free through a sale for $5
Great game. But for simulation style they went too video gamey with the weapons. Should have just been blasters, torpedoes, and maybe bombs and that's it. Support ships were not neccessary and a waste of a slot in small battles. All that is forgivable if it just would have gotten more love from EA. It needed more maps. Resources it already had they could have used some of the many cool areas in single player. I still love this game.
This game latest update May 2021 which is such a shame because this game has a lot of potential to be success.
Right now on Steam for 1.99€.
Yeah this was the best thing to happen to sw since the old days, and nobody cared. I mostly play against AI and in VR. This game is my entire childhood just for the vr aspect.
Think this game might have the most wasted potential of any Star Wars game ever released. Genuinely some fun times to be had playing, but I wasn't personally interested in the multiplayer modes, and the single player experience just felt incredibly unbalanced due to the lazy AI blatantly cheating and completely ignoring the actual ship stats.
I would love to see the engine repurposed for a decent OT single player VR campaign. The fact that they made such a great VR experience and then didn't give us any of the classic OT battles to fight just felt heartbreaking. I know they've been done many times over, but actually getting to try them in VR would have been amazing.
I was so nasty at this game. I miss it 😢
This game just missed a golden opportunity with a 4 player coop-that would have made it incredible
gotta play the vr mode man its incredible
I think what killed this game for me was a lack of controls that made physical sense, slaving "look" to vr only and not the right thumbstick like almost every game in the last 20 years, and no 3rd person. Ace Combat 7 came out a year before this and reaffirmed that arcade flight sims should be simple in gameplay, and complicated in everything else.
The whole shield and power thing was dumb, drifting was dumb, none of the ships felt like they had any speed to them, and the story wasn't very entertaining.
Fortunately you do still progress when playing single player PvE so it’s still possible to play the game like any other game
This game actually "feels" like you are flying the ships on kbm. Pressing certain keys makes you feel like you're flipping switches and timing deterrents and the kills are satisfying. The lobbies have been dead for years
No new star wars games since this and bf2. I hope out laws is good. It is criminal that this game did not get enough love or a sequel.
Nice hat dude! And jersey!
Thanks! Go B's!
I still play it just for the excitement of flying these ships in v.r. These games get dropped so quickly, but who cares...it's Star Wars!!
If I get a VR option in the future it's the first game I'll be looking to play! Thanks for watching!
It is cool, you'll enjoy it!!@@JimmyPotatoTV
I wish they would give us a Game like world of warship in Star wars universum withe the big ships 😅 i want to command a Venator ! 😅
I was hoping for a more sandbox style career mode. Let me fight AI enemies in dedicated careers for either Empire or Rebels. This constant switching back and forth between characters is something I dislike (I even disliked when CoD started doing that back in the day, forcing you to play different narratives in a random order).
I want to immerse myself and pretend I am an X-wing (or TIE) pilot and have a connection to my ship and droid. This pre-packaged campaign with a series of missions that have to be cleared in the same way every time is not all that interesting for me.
I would really love some kind of dynamic career like they made for the IL-2 games, but with the ability to actually affect the outcome of the war. If you do some awesome heroics, you should be able to "win" for the Empire (just like I think all Jedi games should allow you to fall to the dark side).
Also, I don't like multiplayer because for multiplayer to be fair, then everything must be "balanced"... aka: you die all the time. I don't want to have a 50:50 k/d ratio, because that means you have to respawn once per kill... I want to be Anakin Skywalker or Dameron Poe, mowing down enemies and feeling like one of the heroes of the movies.
Also, real players tend to cheat or gimmick their way to victory which usually looks very unimmersive and stupid. In fact, I don't play any multiplayer games anymore at all anymore.
Dude get a very. It’s worth it
I just wanna fly a tie interceptor and tie advanced x1 and tie bomber and tie fighter
This Game is so good to me.
However it's just that the learning curve is high and the lacks support of this game.
Which is a shame because there no micro transaction what so ever and this quote
"PILOTS WANTED"
Because I want to be an
Ace Pilot to this day.
I stopped playing cause i broke a headset to it so thats my reason.
Go Bruins!
🤘💯🤘
The graphics in this game in VR were so FLAT. I was really hoping for much better. Even in Ultra it just does not look good.
mano meu jogo crasha assim que passo da cutscene para pilotar a nave ja no inicio do jogo, sabe como arrumar?
Sorry, I don't know how to fix that? I played on xbox and didn't have any issues with crashing.
This game is $2 right now.
Heck of a deal
Need a mobile version
Can we play in TPP mode?
No 3rd person that I remember, as I probably would have used it at least half the time,
@@JimmyPotatoTV then it's no from me... Thx for the reply
Are the ai realistic and fun?
I enjoyed the challenge, the value for the cost with this experience can't be beat if you like Starwars even a little bit. Thanks for watching!
95% off on steam atm, seems like a safe bet now 😅
can't go wrong there for the story missions alone lol,
@@JimmyPotatoTV Wasn't sure with the reviews but that sale is just too good lol.
I just got this for $2. Hope its good
Def worth 2 bucks, thanks for watching!
multiplayer is toxic. not enough co op missions
full coop story would have been incredible, thanks for watching!
Sadly there is an amazing game (NO DO NOT BUY IT) that has all the content and features in place and is an amazing Battle Royal space battle game from fighters to frigates, destroyers, cruisers and carriers if you earn enough spawn points for one. You can fight and defend key positions like in Planetside in space or an a planet and protect bases from capitol ship bombardments.
Its the ONLY star wars type space combat game that is around that offers fun fighter combat or tactical capital ship playstyles.
The downside? A 35.00 price tag which was an instant turn off and game population died off soon after, now with only 2-10 players at any given time its dead (While you can still play again AI which is fun) the devlopers need to stop being greedy and just make the game F2P which would not only BOOST the games pop but bring some much needed attention to it because NO ONE even knows what game this is.
I wont name it since i don't want anyone throwing more $$$ at the devs with its current issue of no players but if they do make it F2P ill be sure to make EVERYONE aware of its existence.
Game is dead coz of bombers at dogfight and drift maneuvers. Bomber got higher HP then others and it is impossible to defeat him in a frontal attack, and then he spam drift maneuvers + self-guided guns. I can't understand what EA wanna make from that game.
bummer, thanks for watching!
Why does a ducking squadrons game doesn’t have a mode to make squadron with your friends aka koop ??? How stupid is this and it sadly crippled the game by a lot ! 8 hours singleplayer okay but it’s short. Online ? Servers are already down. This could have been a great game. Having a koop focused squad flight sim with online mode where you can fight team vs team. But no it’s a EA game so surprise surprise Most features are just left out. I bet fun was planned to be a DLC but forgotten to deliver… this is beyond sad
So much wasted potential, thanks for checking out the video!
This is a multiplayer game….I don’t understand why you didn’t play
It is a multi-player game with a single player story, I tried to get games online for a day, and never found one match. Thanks for watching
dead game?
Unfortuanitly
No.. It's still over rated. 😂
I mean I would play this game if they just changed the damn camera angle. They had a game so close to rogue squadron 2 but messed it up with small details they left out.
