Star Wars: Attack Squadrons Could Maybe, Potentially, Possibly Be Cool

Maybe the next trailer will show actual gameplay of this free-to-play game.

This is a good idea. I hope they don't fuck it up (They're probably going too.) Still, fingers crossed! I love War Thunder, so I will probably eat this up.

Reminds me of the Star Wars screensaver I used to have back in the day.

I liked both, but sure, first person cockpit view space shooters are always preferable.

@epsilonse: Agreed, the dialogue sounds terrible.

I just wish 1313 didn't get cancelled, although maybe that would have been garbage, we'll never know thanks to Disney. Not that Lucas didn't kill things years ago.

Why does it sound like Han Solo cheering when the Falcon shoots down a TIE Fighter, when he was actually down on the forest moon of Endor during the battle of the second Death Star?

Sounds like someone recorded the audio from 2 dudes attempting to remember aerial combat dialogue from the Star Wars franchise through an Xbox Live voice chat.

Fart noises.

I loved the Rogue Squadron games (well, most of them). But the "free-to-play" carries such a negative fucking connotation that my interest in this evaporated before I clicked play.

What are the chances you'll be able to modulate the direction of your shields and transfer power to weapons in this game?

Is it only me that thinks it looks like a fake? Or is the animators just really bad?

No joke, I clicked on the video with typing out exactly that. B-Wing or Lambda class shuttle for me.

Actually, who am I kidding. I am obsessed with Star Wars and I will probably play this.

What's with this space renaissance all of a sudden? Not that I'm complaining.

The only Squadron I was looking for was Rogue Squadron.

Still wanting a true successor to the X-Wing/Tie Fighter space sim series. This might be a step in the right direction.

A new Rogue Squadron this ain't. Sadly.

Apparently you can sign up for the beta now and the max player count is (only?) 16. A SW themed War Thunder, maybe?
