Hadlock posted:At least with FPS shooters you have ground, which allows for a map. Space battles might have a blurry planet in the background, and, I guess this one might actually have an asteroid field, but there's not a lot there to create variation besides how many and how far apart the capital ships are. Eh, Battlefront 2 did a good job with space "maps". Use bigass stations, huge capital ships, and debris as "terrain" with the occasional planetside map. Only one of the six maps felt like it was really just "open space" and that was D'Qar. If they're smart they can do the same thing here.

The one thing I didn’t like about house of dying sun was the lack of proper HOTAS support. It felt so arcadey and gimmicky playing in VR with a controller.

Tom Guycot posted:Tie Fighter was maybe my favorite game of all time as a kid, so against my better judgement I'm getting excited for this based on the trailer. If you count up the pips of energy on the X-Wing and TIE fighters ELS displays you get 12 in both cases...  and  so it seem that the TIE has more to use in both Engines and Lasers due to it not having any shields....

this looks cool but only if the controls are good. SWBF2 has such garbage flight controls it ruined the spaceship mode.

hhhat posted:I share in everyone's skepticism but at *least* based on the way they've approached the announcement and what they've shown so far, there's an indication that someone in charge is trying to fix their PR and has heard some complaints It's a game that's supposed to release in October and yet the teaser trailer wasn't followed up immediately with someone talking about actual gameplay. The way they are presenting this is a classic attempt to balance hype with not letting anyone ask too many questions about how much fun this all actually is.

StarBegotten posted:If you count up the pips of energy on the X-Wing and TIE fighters ELS displays you get 12 in both cases... Nice catch, makes sense on how they'll balance tie fighters without any shields. Philman posted:this looks cool but only if the controls are good. SWBF2 has such garbage flight controls it ruined the spaceship mode. Considering the emphasis on in-cockpit control only, and advertising stuff like HOTAS support, I have to think (or at least pray) they'd be updating the flight controls from BF2's super arcade 3rd person ones.

I hope that the Victory Star Destroyer makes a reappearance in the game. I love how it has the big missile pods on its dividing trench that would spray concussion missiles in the old games.

Arcsquad12 posted:Rogue One must drive you crazy. Or Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith with acclamators and venators having landing struts. Going by the old lore it's specifically Imperial-class Star Destroyers and up, due to size. They're effectively twice the length of a Victory and half again as long as a Venator, and the mass difference is obviously far more than that. So it was more a matter of at some point they're exceeding the tech limitations for reasonably operating it in-atmo, rather than it being impossible period. There's still the exception of Lusankya, but I'd guess people like to ignore that due to just how many other dumb issues come up when considering that. I don't particularly care about this, but even if you're annoyed about it the lore issue was never EVERY star destroyer.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Rise of Skywalker also has several thousand in the atmosphere . Ftfy. Besides, I agree that it looks odd. It's just aping JJ Abrams obsession with things rising out of obscurity in his shots. I mean I was irrationally angry at post 2009 Star Trek insisting that all Starfleet vessels are built on the loving ground when Utopia Planitia is a giant shipyard in Martian orbit. But then loving Picard made the entire Utopia Planitia shipyard be on the surface for some stupid reason. So it can apply to star wars too.

The Lusankya had a cradle of repulsorlifts that was jettisoned once it got off the planet  And yes, all those other things referenced were smaller than star destroyers
