Title: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: sickrubik on December 17, 2013, 10:30:57 AM http://www.starwarsattacksquadrons.com/
Quote Star Wars™ : Attack Squadrons is a free-to-play online space combat game where players customize iconic Star Wars™ ships and engage in high-velocity 16 player dogfights in fabled Star Wars locations.

Minus - I'd like somebody to do this with a co-op mode, not just mindless PvP. Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Sky on December 17, 2013, 11:06:58 AM Even objective-based scenario pvp would be nice. So would private server support because lolpubs.

Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Ingmar on December 17, 2013, 01:25:18 PM I'll be surprised if this offers better gameplay than Galactic Starfighter.

Are they trolling us? Worked for me. Maybe it doesn't like dirty Euros? :why_so_serious: Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: sickrubik on December 17, 2013, 05:39:09 PM The signup stuff had a bunch of issues when they launched it earlier. I couldn't sign up for something like an hour after I posted it.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Merusk on December 17, 2013, 06:05:16 PM I'd wager it's getting a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: rk47 on December 17, 2013, 06:09:02 PM How much for a Mon Calamarian Cruiser?
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Surlyboi on December 17, 2013, 06:38:03 PM It's a trap!
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Merusk on December 18, 2013, 04:39:44 PM Still can't sign up. Yarr.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Falconeer on December 18, 2013, 04:41:45 PM I couldn't with Chrome so I tried Firefox and it worked.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Merusk on December 18, 2013, 04:43:03 PM I'm on Firefox.. maybe I should try Chrome.
ed: Nope! Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Cyrrex on January 07, 2014, 07:46:31 AM Dude, how did I miss this until just now? It looks very shiny. This could be awesome, but I think it is likely to be dumbed down for the masses, which means mouse control only. People will obviously ask them if they will support joysticks, and then will respond with the usual "hey, now that's an idea we somehow never thought about before! Maybe sometime in the future, you never know!".
Or am I wrong? Somebody please tell me I am wrong. Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: climbjtree on January 07, 2014, 07:49:49 AM I'm expecting War Thunder with an XvT skin. Anything else wouldn't make a lot of sense.

You're wrong : They will have the Clan Invasion in 3 months, tops. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone?

What I am hoping for really. Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Tmon on February 19, 2014, 03:21:57 PM I got a beta invite and it came with a few codes to share. Drop me a pm if interested. There's an NDA, but I'm fairly certain that saying I'm in it and I suck just as badly at space fighters as I do at regular fighters is safe.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Venkman on February 19, 2014, 04:04:52 PM It looks well done for what it is. I don't know yet when the next beta weekend is occuring.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Lantyssa on February 20, 2014, 06:00:43 AM Looks like they might be up this afternoon.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Ingmar on February 20, 2014, 11:01:58 AM It's open from 1 to 9 Pacific it seems like, I couldn't tell if that was every day or what.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Lantyssa on February 21, 2014, 05:31:27 AM Public beta code limited to first 500: CBT3FORUMFRIENDS
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Speedy Cerviche on February 21, 2014, 06:28:07 AM I have 6 extra keys, first to PM me get served.
Apparently Quebec is geo-blocked from this, first time I have seen that. I don't have a VPN or UnoDNS temporarily because Im switching and there's no NHL on right now anyway, plus travel.

Post by: Venkman on May 23, 2014, 07:12:23 PM Let's blow this thing so we can all go home (https://www.facebook.com/starwarsattacksquadrons/posts/693178480749136):
Quote We want to thank all of the fans who participated in the closed beta of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons. After much consideration, we have decided to cease development so that we can focus on other Star Wars game experiences. We truly appreciate the time you spent engaging in the beta. Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Merusk on May 23, 2014, 07:19:22 PM Not surprising. I played one day for an hour and forgot about it after that and I'm a huge Star Wars nerd. It was mildly entertaining but not enough to draw you in and keep you coming back.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Cyrrex on May 24, 2014, 12:10:01 PM So just so I am straight on this...the last good SW space pew pew game, excluding the JTL expansion, is so far back in time that I've probably changed my video card 10 times since then. That is an utter fucking disgrace. This is low hanging fruit.
And while we are at it, the last truly fun game that involved jedi running around swishing their lightsabers, pushing motherfuckers off of ledges and basically choking a bitch...that game does not support widescreen, it is so fucking old. Changed my monitor possibly four or five times since then. Come the fuck on. Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Kitsune on May 24, 2014, 02:26:02 PM Yeah, it's money laying on the sidewalk. Anyone who does a successful remake of X vs Tie or Jedi Knight is going to be able to build a money house. The fans will have their wallets out so fast that the windows will rattle from the sonic boom.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: HaemishM on May 25, 2014, 12:06:22 AM I played the beta a bit early on and it was bad enough that I never went back. I have to agree with you guys - it's such a sure fire hit if the game is just done with even a modicum of competence. And yet... no one with the license has come close to a decent game in a decade.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Malakili on May 25, 2014, 04:45:01 AM I think the fact that The Force Unleashed was their attempt at re-doing Jedi Knight shows just how embarrassing this all is.
Title: Re: F2P XWing vs Tie Fighter anyone? Post by: Merusk on May 25, 2014, 11:13:10 AM This was the last Hurrah of LucasArts, though was it not? I seem to remember that Disney was shuttering them.

I think they're staying open as a face for the license... like, they're not developing anything, but the games will still all be "in association with LucasArts" or whatever. This one was developed by Area 52, which I've never heard of before and can't find any info on. EA only has an exclusive license on Star Wars games for the "Core Market", and I guess a free-to-play browser game doesn't fall under that umbrella. |
