Back in the 90's Tie Fighter (and freespace) was of my favorite games. Hoping Squadrons scratches that itch.

The incom 36 X-Wing is the fighter that killed the death star. Almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shields makes this the fighter of choice.
I still have my n64 copy of rogue squadron.

Idk it looks like it has a short campaign and too much emphasis on multiplayer. I was really hoping for a successor to Rogue Squadron or something.

It's $40, if I get like 6-7 hours out of it, i'm fine with that value proposition. Replaying with different ships should make that number easily attainable.

15-20 hours is usually an ideal length for me

Any longer than that and I start feeling dragged

As someone who grew up playing the XvT series, I'm probably allowing myself to get way too hyped up for this. I just hope my old dev kit rift is up to the task.

the same way you use any controller with vr? be familiar enough with the controller that you don't have to actually be looking at it in order to use it.

i've only used the controllers and they are displayed through the goggles so you can "see" them. Using hotas blind seems like a confusing and bad time

This is more of a X-Wing/Tie Fighter game, it's all piloted in the first person and such with more control over what your fighter is doing, kinda "sim" -like

The gameplay looks a lot like the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games just on a smaller scale (as in player count) and 20 years of graphical improvements so I think it'll be great

The single player missions will be just the training/tutorial for the muliplayer mode.

Yeah I'm loving it so far, but jusy played the first two missions and gonna go to bed.

I immediately swapped to lefty controls, which should be the default, and inverted y, which should also be the default. I mean its a flight game for palpatines sake. The left stick is the flight stick.

I wouldnt drop money on it just for one game. But it's a fun way to play games if it ever gets to the price point you want.
