If you told me that in the year 2020 I would be getting a remake of Final Fantasy VII, a sequel to Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines, Baldur's Gate III, and Star Wars: Squadrons, a spiritual successor to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series of Star Wars space "sims," I would've told you that you were absolutely full of it.

    Personally I loved the story of the original Tie Fighter, and would really be interested in a meaty solo campaign. Repetitive multiplayer missions with no soul, not so much. Star Wars games have always been known for their excellent storytelling, I'd hope they would continue that focus.

    If it doesn't have a robust single player campaign I sincerely don't give AF about this. Call of Duty multiplayer in space is not my idea of Star Wars.

    The concept looks more like a moba to me if you look at the different roles and how the game is presented in stages.

    "A-Wings and TIE Interceptors are interceptors with greater speed in exchange for reduced firepower and toughness"

    Interceptors have higher speed and firepower, or that's what the website says about them.

    The support ships exchange utilities for firepower.

    Supposedly you will be switching back and forth through out the solo campaign.

    Well written column, as expected from Mike. Especially the first paragraph, good hook!

    Tie Fighter was so addictive, immersive, with a entertaining single player campaign.

    Here's hoping they honor that.

    I don't know why but I am leery of the star wars games....Too often it just feels like "Hey lets slap star wars on the title and collect our billions"

    I remember when Star Wars meant a great in depth story-line with a few great replay options. Will have to wait and see about this one.

    Luckily Fallen Order, the mobile game, and Battlefront did well enough EA is looking to push Star Wars again. Fallen Order was good, IMO, even though I loathe the "souls-like" combat, I was able to enjoy it on easy. Hopefully they put out some more "cinematic" story type games now, or even a proper RPG.

    I'm forming a group for this game for sure. I loved the old Tie Fighter games!

    Discord: https://discord.gg/CjBP4dc

    The Imperial Aces is a group of gamers who enjoy Star Wars, possibly other, space themed games. The group/community emblem is an Ace of Spades with a prominent skull on it, and the motto of "Vae Victis". Vae Victis means "Woe to the Conquered" or "Woe to the Vanquished" in Latin.

    The community is being formed specifically for the EA Star Wars Squadrons game being launched in October 2020, and may evolve to include "all things Star Wars" if there is enough support and participation.

    The community is open to all those who love Star Wars games, and want to fight for the empire!
