Skipped to a random point in the video, instantly spotted one of these bad boys.

They done good.

As soon as I saw one of those in the technical test a while back, I knew that the devs were doing their damned best to make a spiritual successor to the X-Wing series. And for those of you who didn't get to play it or who aren't watching the video yes, you do inspect the cargo ships

So there's a TIE advanced prototype in the hangar, wonder if that will be flyable in the campaign.

They could be if they put them in the game just like how they brought back all the tie-fighter bases and freighters

How does this work anyway? I assume stuff has to get approved by the Lucasfilm story group. Maybe they did float the idea of Gunboats and it got shot down.

EGS was doing something, probably over by now but not sure, where if you downloaded that soccer race car game for free, you got 10 free bucks to spend in the epic store.

If they're still doing that, its probably the closest you're going to find.

Dumb question, but buying on Steam/Epic/Origin (lol) won't matter right? If friends have it on other storefronts PC is just PC (and it crossplays with playstation anyway)

I usually go with Steam but may do Epic because I do have that coupon.

Yeah, the EGS coupon doesn't work on preorders so you'll need to wait for the actual release. With that said, the preorder bonuses here aren't exactly huge so unless you desperately need the preload you're not losing much.

Is the lighting such a trash in the game, or is that just a extremely lovely video? I would guess the video, but it kind of resembles some parts of new movies so I don't know. I'm talking about flying above star destroyer and it is completely white, like if somebody forget to turn on tonemapping

It's PSVR so it's running at a high resolution twice with a high framerate on a console released seven years ago, so this is probably just about the worst looking version of the game you can get, I wouldn't judge how it'll look basically anywhere else (even just regular PS4) by that

What I consider trash is more artistic choice then something coming from technical limitations. The whole fleet from "flying around" part is horribly overlit. What I'm talking about is e.g. in the star destroyer flyby around 11:30. That is definitely not because of hardware limitation but setting your lights to extreme bright

Looks aside, VR mode looks incredibly fiddly to try to actually play.

e: I'm starting to lay my bets on the control scheme being very War Thunder esque 'you can use a gamepad or joystick if you really want, but KB+M is the optimal'.

There's lots of regular mode footage of gameplay so I dunno why this is the one video that proves the game looks like a turd

There's no way it looks like this for most people, I would bet money this is a result of PSVR specifically, I agree it looks like complete garbage but I doubt they did it on purpose

Edit: "on purpose" as in set the lighting like that as opposed to being because they had to crank everything down

Haven't watched the prologue video because I want to go in blind but if the Rebel training starts off with anything other than "Red One will drop into an Imperial training area in the Senex System" then I want no part of it.

Hot diggity. Steam is telling me that it unlocks in 5 hours.

Well, I've just broken my 'never preorder a game' rule.

Hopefully there's a T-Flight Hotas preset so I don't need to spend the first hour futsing around with both the controller and my headset.

I'm almost certain this is an artifact of the way they captured the video from the PSVR and doesn't reflect what you actually see in the headset.
