Was ideally looking for x-wing/ tiefighter in vr but this is certainly an interesting step for ea. Not something I would expect from them and certainly made me more interested in this release.

At least if it is a turkey still got https://twitter.com/XWingVR Project Stardust to fall back on providing the dev does not quit due to this release. Give him some support !

I hope it supports HOTAS.

 

[kevman]

Good point - certainly sw bf2 did not support hotas for the straighter bits but for a dedicated flight game you would hope so

 

[lokiss]

It does have support for one. Wait and see what type of control is needed though. Everspace plays lame with a stick, much better on a pad as an example. Playing X-Rebirth, gestured motion controls are the ultimate way to do everything.

 

[Ravenger]

Reportedly has HOTAS support!

5v5 is a bit of a let down, hopefully its not just a re-skin of eve valkyrie

I hope it supports HOTAS.

It will apparently.

Pretty interested to give this a go - could be a lot of fun in VR. Good to see EA back on steam too!

Looks cool. Could be a vomit fest for the vr noobs.

@danoliver1 Don't jinx me, I'm only just getting back in to VR

 

[Zairs]

Picked up a hotas ready for this for £10, can't wait

 

[Ravenger]

Apparently this will have shield and energy management similar to the original X-Wing & Tie Fighter games.

There will be AI ships as well. The 5v5 was no doubt chosen so as not to end up with one side having ten or more ships swarming over ships from the other side as soon as they spawn in and die in a veritable hail of laser fire. Keeps it fair.

I've been trying to play this but the camera is all messed up and I'm 10 feet outside of the cockpit plus I cannot get my controller to work with it annoyingly.

I'm actually really excited for this, look forward to maybe playing with some of you guys or blowing you out of the stars in short order...

Should be good fun. Have you tried Eve valkarie? That was great in vr.

Is that Oculus link or Virtual Desktop ?

Sadly I'm unlikely to pay for this on PC. I refuse to buy a UPlay / Origin game because they won't let any user account on our single PC play the game. They really think it's reasonable to expect me to buy the game 3 times on a single PC so my two sons can also play. Yet they re quite willing to let me pay once for any user on our consoles. I'm amazed this is still a thing on PC, if MS did this on Xbox, the Internet would destroy them and they'd take years to recover. On PC it doesn't seem to raise much backlash. I don't get it.

Its on steam also if that helps
