Sorry for the reupload, RUclips didn’t push it out earlier (was too close to the other video)
The word decal its not DEH-KUL, its DEE-KALL. Good job none the less.
EcksToo I just recently subscribed to the second channel, I didn’t realize how much awesome gaming content you made, I usually just follow your lore and versus videos. This is awesome, thanks for all the work you do man!
@Kato Ho Ten Soeng ur joking right, DEH-KUL and DEE-KALL do not sound the same? Was simply pointing that out.
@Kato Ho Ten Soeng k i mean deckle (which is how he pronounces it) means another thing, so people might get confused
@Kato Ho Ten Soeng idk deckle has yo do with barbecuing and the fat on a brisket 🤷♂️
And somehow, this game makes capital ship anti-fighter weaponry seem VIABLE.
I havent felt this RIGHT since I read the X-Wing books...
Wait until you try the y wings proton bomb 💣
EcksToo Do they have proton missiles too?
If they have a Lancer frigate, starfighters will be toast.
@Austin Thomas They're up there as some of the better in my opinion. Very little weird Force-y stuff, lots of solid fighter action. Dogfights from the cockpit are AWESOME.
Austin Thomas The Michael Stackpole X-wing books are pure fun, I really enjoyed them.
I was a kid in the 90's and this is giving me X-Wing series vibes.
Yub Yub, commander.
It’s a dream for us
While i watch BF Updates and SW Theory, Ecks is definitely the most important opinion for his insane obsession with proper space combat, going so far, as to analyze even the dumbest of space battles and offering better strategies. If Ecks says it's GOOD, it will definitely be!
Lots of good to go around!
Agreed
Yep, it was Ecks' preview that got me to drop the cash for it :D I loved the X-Wing series in the 90s, this looks like the first true successor since :D
Disagree.
He spouts that this is like X-Wing Alliance, yet none of this game is like X-Wing Alliance other than some base technicalities. It's actually funny that he points out how you can, WOW, shoot missiles out. That was standard, I believe, since Tie Fighter. Cockpit damage? Tie Fighter. Subsystem repair? X-Wing. None of that is new. None of that should be surprising. It should be a given that ALL of that is incorporated for a Star Wars fighter game.
How about something new, or exciting? A large fleet battle with an actual large fleet and a real squadron, not a flight, would be nice. How about several squadrons?
How about a galaxy war? A la MechWarrior Online where wining and losing battles changes the positions of fleets, affects on resources available for future battles?
They give you the same stuff, make some cosmetic changes, add in some "new" features and suddenly it's a breakthrough in Star Wars games.
He stated that some of the snubfighters can take a missile and depending on the missile; concussion missile yes, proton torpedo no; any rebel fighter to include the A-wing can take a hit with double shields. There should be ZERO TIEs that are currently in game that can take one since I don't believe they do proximity detonation(?) so all missiles must directly strike their target to detonate.
I don't care if some people like this game, that isn't my point. Everyone has opinions and their own preferences. If you like this Arcade style game then cool. You could even call it an Arcade style space fighter combat game with some space sim components.
I actually wonder, considering that I don't think he spoke of any real negatives of this game, if EA isn't pushing a narrative onto a number of youtube content creators with some special bonus's for them or something.
@@infblu3808 You missed the plot. The fact that this is so close to the Tie Fighter and X-wing games is exactly why people are excited about it.
Me and the Bois in battlefront 2: Lets blows this capital ship yes
Me and the Bois in squadrons: *drawing straws to attack one*
Ive never heard someone say decal as "de-kel"
Okay im glad im not the only one who noticed that
I was just about to comment this as well lol!
Thank you I'm not the only one lol
It didn't stick out for me cuz that's exactly how I say it. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?
Must be a Canadian thing.
We need the B-wing and Tie Defender as a Heavy Fighter Class.
We need the XG-1 Assault Gunboat before them.
@@Xenomorphine Ah, I see you're a person of culture as well.
In all seriousness, the Assault Gunboat would be the perfect complement to the B-Wing. The Tie Defender was too overpowered (at least in the X-Wing games) to have a Rebel counterpart.
Batman's Left Nostril Exactly my thinking. It was like an Imperial Y-Wing, with the added design-related bonus of being potentially able to fire every single munition simultaneously.
This TIE Reaper seems to be filling a similar role, but the XG-1 should be more capable of anti-starfighter duties.
@@Xenomorphine Yes. Love the Star Wing, especially over the Defender. It was my favorite ship in X-wing vs Tie Fighter. If they ever do get around to adding more ships, I would love it. The B-wing, being my favorite Rebel ship, would be great too - especially if they gave the pilot the ability to rotate the body around the cockpit, making it more difficult to master.
@Luke Mason true. But i played a lot of XWing alliance in the past and I think it is referred as a Heavy Fighter.
Warheads (missiles/torpedoes/bombs) could also be destroyed in the '90s TIE Fighter game. They even show up as viable targets on your HUD. Same with individual systems/hardpoints.
This is really looking like my dream modern rendition of X-Wing vs TIE Fighter.
During your gameplay, were there more fighters than just the named players? It'd be a shame if it were just 5 fighters per side (even if there was respawn).
I knew Ian Freser was aimming to take inspiration from the old Xwing games from the DOS era and up to XW Alliance, but the level of fidelity you described is just insane. Like you said here and in other videos it trully is a modernized version of those games for the most part: the engine wash damage taken from capital ships, the ELS system, the capacity to shot down incomming missiles, being able to target specific starship components... hell, even the pilot proving grounds have been reimagined here. No wonder old hounds like me (played original XWING when I was 12 years ) are eager to get their hands on this game. here's hoping it sells really well and that makes Motive think about adding more content for it, be new ships, game modes or even story DLC.
I’m so excited for this game!!
I'm ready to pull the Syndulla maneuver, one she pulled during the "Rebel Assault" episode of Rebels.
What was it again?
I am also curious. Because the so-called 'Wotan Weave' turns out to just mean a common barrel roll.
Was it the one where she cut power, 180, and filled Skarris' defender with hot plasma?
@@dtgamerk9670 indeed it was that episode.
For flying into the yavin prime atmosphere me and my friends took a look at some of the components the other day and there’s a hull called the ferrocermaic hull that I looked up and according to Wookiepedia it’s used for ships that need to fly in atmospheres. I think this could make you take less damage or even no damage when you’re flying in there!
This game gives me such nostalgic vibes that hearken back to my childhood playing x-wing alliance. For those that haven't played it ya need to to prep for when this comes out. I know i am.
I'm excited- X-Wing vs TIE Fighter was my jam back in the day, probably my first flight sim in fact. This makes me think of that in the best ways.
Not gonna lie, seeing the 181st colors has me excited.
A detail i love is the hands animations. How it use them for the panels or cover his face when is shoot down. A little detail but make it feel more alive.
I honestly wasn't sure if I was gonna pick this up before, but I'm slowly changing my view just based on how hyped Eck is getting for this game.
I would like to see in the future some other ships as well like the B wing and tie defender. Also I think it would be cool if the capital ships were able to fight each other if they are in range, or something along those lines. Maybe more than one capital ship. Who know so many stuff can be done.
2:01 In other words, try spinning---that's a good trick.
I say best advice is watch a marathon of Clone Wars and Star Wars movies and do whatever Anakin does when he pilots. Poe would be good too. Follow tactics they do in flight and learn the Art of War.
Admiral Echbart 😉 "It's a trap !"
I still strongly think that weapons should be red, shields blue and engines green in the power management section
This was my first thought.
It sounds like a sequel to X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. In other words, perfection.
First TIE fighter and pilot I'm making are Baron Soontir Fel!
In the OG X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, the "sweet spot" for maximizing turns was about 33% throttle power. Must have been inspired by that "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by" thing from Top Gun. I loved running an X-Wing, being able to out-turn TIE fighters (and the occasional Interceptor), killing a guy and then being accused of "cheating" back then when it was good ol' LAN multiplayer.
Looks like the game takes HEAVY inspiration from the old X-Wing games, which is good. But if it's all PvP arena battles, it will get boring fast.
5:35 - Wait, so this is a starfighter video game that actually recognizes the physics behind starship engines. What attention to detail.
Was that the only one confused when Eck said decal and it sounded like deck-al?
Yuuuup lmao that's definitely the wrong pronunciation 😂
@@hotshotx1598 It's the Canadian pronunciation. It doesn't sound right because it's not what we are used to but most people in Canada say it like that, I'm from the US so I say Dee-cal but I live in MN and I have a few Canadian friends so I've heard the same pronunciation once before.
The one thing that I think is missing (from what we've seen in the gameplay footage) is a bump-like impact effect when your ship is hit. The effects I see are just a couple of sparks flying from the console, so I think that could be improved.
Other than that, the game looks amazing, can't wait to play it.
Yesyesyes do a full video on customisations
I was trying to figure out what a deckle was hahhaa deeeecal xD
Cool game mode idea: Landing points: Landing points would be a game mode where one team has to try and land troops on specific points while the other has to attempt to prevent these landings. There would be bonus objectives for bombers like E-Web gun nests, Anti-Air turrets, command posts, and turbo laser towers.
Eck just drops a massive video bomb in one day.
I can’t wait to play as a stuck up British imperial pilot.
For The Empire!
We will hunt down any opposition forces.
Patrick P “Watch and learn”
that drift maneuver is Bad ASS
"Missiles can be shot and destroyed"
Just like in the old X-Wing series games. Woot! :)
Capital ships are dangerous, just like in X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. :D
I played starfighter assault on Star Wars Battlefront 2 yesterday and from what I think Star Wars Squadrons is very different in how it works, looks, feels etc. I can't wait for squadrons to come out!
I’m liking the customization I’m seeing.
They’re definitely not holding back. Especially when I see a Sith eternal logo during the late empire days.
especially looking forward to it the moment they said everything is gonna be unlockable via gameplay, not money
this is gonna be good
Regarding the missiles being in-game projectiles, the same mechanics exist in Everspace, for example, where you can shoot down missiles, evade them, outrun them if you are in a fast enough ship, or you can lead them into obstacles (even into enemy ships, though that's very rare). In Everspace you also have the tracking/targetting and information display, but I think that's a bit of a standard these days in space sims.
Regarding the second point, Yavin 4 level reminds me *a lot* of the Bespin level in Rogue Squadron 3D. The overall look, the "flat wave formation" of the incoming TIEs, and also the fact that you were going either really high, or usually really low to avoid missile turrets. Even the intro sequence you've shown of you coming into battle in the X-Wing looks very similar to the intro of Bespin level. I'm pretty sure if you juxtaposed side-by-side Yavin 4 level from Squadrons and Bespin level from Rogue Squadron, they would look eerily similar.
BTW, has anybody tried playing Squadrons with Steam Controller? Do you know if there will be any support for it?
Once i heard the way you pronounced decal thst was all i could focus on. Great videos on squadrons btw
9:48 NEW TYPE OF IMPERIAL PILOT HELMET! Boy, the empire sure loves making new pilot helmets.
5 insane details .. that have already been present in the old TIE Fighter and X-Wing games .. hehee. Not really, the nice customization of the ship was missing of course but shooting down missiles and doing such high-speed turns was easily possible once you figured out how to do it.
Actually it is such similarities to those old great games that want me to play the game now ... despite that it would mean giving money over to Disney
A full Easter Egg break down would be cool
This is going to be sick! i still play xwing vs tiefighter and this looks like a worthy modern take on it.
Shooting down missiles, torpedoes and bombs was a viable tactic in the old X-Wing/TIE Fighter games as well - these guys really did their research.
"Stuck up imperial vs Newbie rebel" hey, that's the preorder skins! (Commander imp vs training rebel)
Whoever made a ad that was just a meme
Thank you
Sorta looking forward to capital ships being a threat. I remember space battles in OG BF2 just shredding me until their shield were gone, while in BF2 EA they were just an inconvenience and I could just blow up turrets for easy battle points.
Who’s already pre ordered? 🙋♂️
Want to, but I have no idea how Origin are like with compatibility with the Oculus Rift S VR application.
@@Xenomorphine it's on steam too
Pre Order 4 standing by. Lock Steam Account in Download-Position.
I haven't yet, but will soon. Can't wait!!
I
The gameplay impressions made this sounds like it is a completely new game, when most of the mechanics were already availabke in older star wars space games like xwing alliance.
It’s been twenty years. Can you blame them? Ecks is probably phrasing it this way so people who are less familiar don’t stay that way.
@@BufferMental I agree.
You could shoot down missiles and torpedoes in the originals too, nothing insane about it. Really cool that they have included it in this one, it shows they have a passion for this to be the modern day version of the old ones. I hope they expand the missions and campaigns with the classics, Trench Run, Hoth. What would be even cooler it that they remaster the originals with this engine!
If they add the b wing and tie defender, I think they could be great multi role ships. The b wing could be great for dealing damage to capital ships while having great defense and decent speed. The tie defender can be great against starfighters while having decent defense and great speed. Both can have almost any weaponry with a few exceptions for both.
I think if they canonized a few legends ships, that would also be really cool. They could add the E wing and tie avenger. They would be best used against other starfighters being faster than the x wing or tie fighter but not quite as fast as the interceptors while still being able to hold their own against capital ships.
The k wing and tie punisher could be considered heavy bombers. They would be excellent when being used against capital ships being able to hold an arsenal of explosives much larger than standard bombers. They wouldn't be great against other starfighters one on one though due to their slower speed and maneuverability.
I'd love to know more about the customization
I hope there's a single player campaign for both Rebel and Imperial factions like in the X Wing series in the 90s
Just to add, in the sensor you can see that there is a circle inside the other.
The inner circle is the ships that are in front of you and the outer circle is the ships that are behind you.
Of course this is if it is the same as the old games (X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, etc.)
this game needs hotas support on consoles! simple as that. i know from my experience in elite dangerous it radically improves the way the game feels.
There was a game called Starlancer that has almost every feature of this game. The game reminds me also Warthunder. So it is great as I love these 2 video games.
I’m so pumped for this
Hey Eck, I was wondering if you knew how the U-Wing/Support ships will work? I really want to know.
It looks great for VR but in the movies it takes 20 seconds for an xwing or a tie to fly over (and inside) the huge structure of a Destroyer. Here it’s done in about 3 seconds which make them look like small spaceships. I think they should have changed the perspective, you should feel like a fly on an elephant.
If the Tally hologram actually kept track of player kills (and ignored AI kills) that would make it worthwhile, otherwise I think the cockpit decorations are a needless distraction that I wouldn't bother with.
I like the hull and pilot customization though. especially for briefings and the like.
In my opinion Perfect game
let's hope they pay attention to control with a joystick. My Hotas X has been gathering dust for years...
If it's anything like the X-Wing games to take out a Star Destroyer you need to stay evasive and start off by blowing away the shield towers on the top of the bridge super-structure. The Imperial 2 Star destroyer doesn't have point defense weapons meaning that it has a hard time tracking fast moving objects. Of course, if you fly in a straight line you will die very quickly - especially as you get close to the target. I would like to see levels where a Star Destroyer was supported with a support fleet including ships like Lancer corvettes rigged to take out incoming fighter craft and Proton bombs.
Right, capital ships haven't been dignified so far, a mere ornament, not a target, an easy target, you could fly around and inspect them without fear. Squadrons could honor what we always needed
The drift to strafe technique reminds me of fighting capital ships in colony wars way back in the day. Been looking for a game as good ever since.
There was a similar mechanic in the old Jedi Starfighter games, I loved it.
so, clarifcation, when you say you want to be one of the premiere Squadrons youtubers, is that content going to be centralized to either of your channels or will we see some on both? Cuz I like your content and I like squadrons so I wanna know where I should be looking :)
First off great analysis and great vid second I do hope this makes it into E Sports as this has the potential to as well as overtake overwatch due to the fact it's more affordable at $40 like you stated in one of your vids
If i get it right, the TIE Pilots are made in a R1/Solo-style.
please make an entire video about the custo options
Think the devs will add more warship classes to present players with environments with more diversified enemy and allied fleets? I would be pretty cool to see various frigate, cruiser, and corvette and capital ship classes.
Will there be a beta or no
i am both super excited but super scared about this game.
it is precisely what ive been begging for for years... but its an EA game and their history scares me here.
straight up monkey's paw game for me
Do a whole video about customization bro!!!
Please do a vid on the custom things you can do to your ship.
This issue about a lack of natural cover is one of the problems I saw with War Thunder. In War Thunder head-on death fights are common because there simply is no physical cover other than changing altitude. And because there is no altitude variable in space the lack of cover can make multi kills hard because anyone can easily jump on you from any angle.
Man those imperial pilot helmets are super sexy
so its like War Thunder but in space and better and without Russian bias?
sign me up!
just like warthunder it will have rebel bias if you play against them and imperial bias if you only play rebel.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 i see your a man of culture as well.
If we follow that line of thought, then War Thunder is like the original X-wing/Tie Fighter game back in the 90's.
I wish you could play as a Raider Corvette or a Blockade Runner
This game has Eck written all over it
The only detail I wish they’d add is not making every star fighter explode in a ball of fire after destroying it. I’d love to see some more realistic destruction such as simply just coming apart and being on fire not necessarily blowing up every single time
I really hope they make the dashboard UI customizable
I think the square hit box would be annoying because people would just track you down but useful better than battlefront 2 where you can predict the enemy.... I wonder if we can go inside the capital ship to repair and see them working on it that would be pretty cool.. PS: Ik this just reminds me on the original star war game back in early 2000s plus I can’t wait for the game!!!
Can't wait to use a HOTAS for this game
I love the bobble-ewok!
Man this game looks to be amazing!
Going to get it for sure
Good old times
so excited :D
For a discount game it seems pretty good!
Most excellent.
I was really hesitant about this game cause I didn't want to pay $60 for an ok game that's based only on space combat, especially if theres a chance that they will eventually add on extra maps and content later on. But I just found out that its only $40 and most of what ive seen seems pretty promising so I'll be waiting to play after I get off work Saturday morning.
So can you target subsystems like you can on X-Wing and Tie Fighter? I remember being able to target weapons shields and engines in those games.
Yes, you can target shields generators, individual turrets, main power generators.
capital ships arent supports to shoot down fighters. they are for large scale assaults. big ships, ground bombardment. =)
8:58 "dekkils"
The only thing that seems a little annoying is the reduced vision because half of the screen is occupied by the cockpit.
Now I already see a "huge" downturn for me: You can only pick premade faces.
Maybe there'll be some customisation for hair and stuff, but you can't mix and match skin color, eye size, nose shape etc however you want to, it's just all premade.
They say "Customize your Pilots look" but then you have only 10 faces to pick from, 5 male 5 female. I'm sure they'll add more options later, but is it really that hard to implement a more in depth creator?
It'll be really fun to have a cutscene and see 5 exact clones of each other because we don't get any option for variety
So... Do the insane details include "I have you now" voice line?
The game looks amazing. I'd just wish it would be set in the clone wars. Or perhabs the old republic as a tie in with the mmo game...
While I do agree that would be cool, I'm honestly burned out on the Clone Wars era stuff. Ever since they expanded on that era's lore with games it just kind of took over Star Wars. I've been waiting FOREVER for some decent post-RotJ content and a return to Rebellion/Empire era ships and to progress things instead of just finding another gap in the past to cram another story into.
Yah? I loath clone era, especially droid ships.
I’ve never heard “decal”’pronounced that way.
@@Kurayamiblack yeah, l guess you Are right. It's just that i grew up with the clone wars tv show as a kid, and I really loves it. So i thought a campaign set around some of the battle that we don't see, would be really cool... Thats being said, l am still gonna bye the game. I just though it could be a dlc or something in the future...
“You can make missiles miss by doing crazy moves”...does flying in a straight line while spinning do it?
Haven't played it yet but as of now my fav space combat that I've played is swbf2 classic space assault
