Well, that's enough for me.  Time to preorder.

I'm gonna need a new rig.  :hide:  That's actually okay, though, as I'm planning to replace my current piece of crap later this year anyway.

I am going to stick with my yearly Origin subscription, for $100....I always pickup at least Madden and FIFA anyway, those already pay for it and then some.  Then add the other games they release like this, worth it for me...

Look how this thread has turned from getting the pitchforks and torches for EA to preordering!

SirAndrewD - I can't believe you!

Dude, I'm the game whore. 

I literally wear an Imperial Command hat while I play Battlefront 2.

If it's got HOTAS support I'll play this thing even if it's got flying Wookies shooting poop at each other.

And I'll LIKE IT!

I can respect that. All of it. Gaming honesty! The hat thing is weird.

Probably the least weird thing I do.

Interesting.  I'm encouraged by two things: 

1.)  The game is set in the "classic" Star Wars period.  No prequel or First Order bullshit. 

2.)  There's an actual singlerplayer campaign. 


The main downside, of course, is that the game is made by EA.  So I will cheerfully let everyone else spend their money on this before I decide whether or not to pick it up.  O:-)
As Martok says...

And I would wear the hat as well if i had one....man...i would also wear a Federation uniform when playing Birth of the Federation if i had one!

First game play will be shown in just under two hours from now.

Holy crap.   They are actually trying to redo X-Wing and TIE Fighter. 

I didn't dare hope.

Simulation elements that go so far as having to use the targeting computer and some Newtonian physics.

Here it is without having to go through the EA play event...



My main concern is that it seems that the ships in the classes are identical to each other, at least in what they showed. 

An X-Wing and TIE Fighter should feel remarkably different from each other, even if they're both "Fighters". 

It is clear that the TIE's don't have shields though, and the part of this that is cut is the CEO of Motive saying that power management and shield rotation is a thing.
