Ever since headsets were teased with the single VR mission in Star Wars Battlefront, we have prayed to the sith lords that EA would give us a complete game of that to satisfy our deep seeded need to play X wing vs Tie Fighter in glorious virtual reality. EA has delivered, bringing us a solo story campaign, 5 player online coop and of the reason to buy this 5 v 5 squad multiplayer mode. This looks like something we could only dream of as kids….but does it have the goods. Stay with me as I tear it apart and find out.

My only complaint is the scale is way off. Capital ships should be SO much bigger than they are in the game.
Got this and immediately refunded – the VR mode sucks on PC- racked on.
It is damn good. Just prefer VTOL VR with Multi-player
The PC VR version of this is completely fucked – if you're getting more than 60 fps, it's through maaaaad amounts of reprojection.
What kind of hotas should I get for this game?
I dont understand i only have 35 fps in multiplayer ( big battle) my specs are I9 9900kf , rtx 2080 s, 16 go ddr4, + ssd..that game is broken ..I don t understand why there's only reviewers who have no issue ..
Love your reviews… in transition… have bought the game, but won't play till December… have the HOTAS .. can't wait!!!!!
Please what's this headset vr?
Why not go for older x-wing for greater graphic contrast
If I have absolutely ZERO desire to EVER play PvP, is this game worth getting?
Squadrons is good but ill take the old games any day. Graphics=/=game. Why do you think Squadrons copied the old sims.
I hope they add dlc with classic battles from the movies, aka Deathstar. Also, some planet side battles would be great.
Great video man!
I still remember 80s arcade cabinet star wars by Atari, that was awesome back in the day! I don't have VR but I enjoyed squadrons, all I heard online, was how good it was in VR! I'm pretty sure I'll invest in psvr2 for PS5!
Oh man, you talk very fast, so your whole video is like artificial. Why do you speak so quick? You have time to explain the game, but this monotonous speech kills the whole video. As if you don’t have time because you don’t have enough storage space on your hardrive… 🙂 It's a damn shame.
DO NOT BUY A HEADSET FOR THIS GAME. The VR is absolute trash. I have an I9-9900 with a 2080ti and Rift S. This game runs like garbage, looks like garbage, and crashes constantly. Go read reviews. You’ll see the truth. I don’t want this guy is on about, but I ain’t about to watch his video to find out.
VR is broken in this game. It’s the only reason I bought the game to begin with and it blows. The HOTAS support is broken also. There is a giant dead zone in the stick that can’t be adjusted.
I should have known better when I saw an EA logo. KEEP YOUR MONEY
Bad thing that VR or not it stuck at 60fps. While I can play it thus way, it feels uncomfortable, comparing elite dangerous that I can play 90fps no problem. It suck…
Whatttt I didn’t know they had this on psvr, I gotta try it.
In vr it looked better in 97..
Me: Sits waiving fist at EBGames Australia who chose to ship my PREORDER from the WRONG SIDE of the country. Yep…still waiting for it to arrive.12/10/2020.
Am re-playing X-Wing 1993 while I wait lol.
Quest 2 ordered hahaha
Game is amazing. Has it problems. Fleet Vs Ai is WAY too hard on easy. Achievements/trophies are not tracking properly and you lose medal progress from the campaign if you play multiplayer. It resets them. But I LOVVVVVVVEEEE this game and Im not even a huge Star Wars nerd. I just love flight/dog fighting games.
VR is almost cheating lol
I’ve been waiting for this era in gaming my whole life, only to be reminding I am cursed with motion sickness. I’m going to make my body adapt and stock up in Dramamine
One thing, getting sick in VR [or playing games or watching movies in general] is simulation sickness, not motion sickness.
They are very similar, but are actually caused by completely opposite stimulus.
This is the game we imagined we were playing back in the 90s with the X-wing/TIE Fighter series.
A cpu with more cores will help with the choppy recording. The i9 9900k is good for gaming the ryzen 3950x will decrease chop and improve render times 👍🏾
Great review! Really hope we'll get an ED VR update for PS5.
The console graphics look terrible. I have this game on the pc and it is unbelievably good looking. Don't even bother with the console version.
As long as EA has something to do with it, i refuse to buy.
Best thing I ve played so far
Y'all are hyping this so hard. It's not that amazing. It's not stable, and has poor visuals outside the ship. It's kinda fun but, it's not the end all people are making it out to be.
Motion sickness.
End of joy.
Scale of the capital ships looks wrong, his fighter cockpit is virtually showing the whole ship when he is close to it…
