Same for Squadrons! Maybe its a good game, maybe its not, but drink some vodka before, then put on your VR, its going to be great!
If you pre-order Star Wars Squadrons....

Yeah, I will preorder it for the VR. I'm still using my original Oculus headset. How's that new Oculus Quest headset working out?. Can you tether it to your PC for games now?

Really tempted to get VR for this but the thought of loop-the-looping in VR makes my head spin.. not sure I'd cope too well though that's based off my (low rez) experiences of PSVR..
I now have two of them.
There was a recent update that allows you to use your charging cable that came in the box as the link to your PC for VR.
Previously you needed a high speed USB3 friendly cable.
You would be lucky even getting me to anything EA at this point
Pleased I didn't pre-order now - Minimum system specs show my old processor is too ancient to run it. $40 is okay price but $740 for the PC upgrade to go with it isn't on the cards.

If I had pre ordered before being able to see the specs, or if the specs change later on putting it outside of your build, do you have the right to cancel for a refund or is that it?

I'd guess since its a pre-order, you are allowed to cancel any time before the game is out?Pleased I didn't pre-order now - Minimum system specs show my old processor is too ancient to run it. $40 is okay price but $740 for the PC upgrade to go with it isn't on the cards.

Btw, I wouldn't sweat the specs. If you have at least an old i5 I'd bet it runs just fine with a good enough graphics card and enough ram.
FX8350 because it was 70 quid which was the most affordable 4ghz processor I could find at the time and probably the strongest that still ran DDR3 RAM :)
My thinking is if I can still run SC at 30fps I'm still able to do most things but when I'm looking for an excuse not to spend $40 I'll latch on to a lot of nonsense :-D
The 8350 should be more than capable of handling this game based on the specs you listed as long as you've got at least as much RAM & a video card that's as good or better. Most video cards purchased after 2014 should cover that portion & SC isn't playable all that well with less than 16gb of RAM.
Very interesting. As my current PC is nowhere strong enough to run most VR games, I won't be able to play it in VR until I can afford to upgrade again. So I hope that it can be played regularly as well as this increases my opinion of this game.
Am I the only one not hyped for this? It seems to be Overwatch online, 5v5 dogfighting, 5v5 fleet battles and most likely a very short and linear story line. There are 8 ships, basic customization and a seemingly very repetitive 5v5 mechanic, don't get me wrong, I had fun in Overwatch for a few months but that was it, it got old quick lol. I guess 5v5 games just don't do it for me, if this had been 32v32 or something on a larger scale I would have been more interested.
Im hyped for VR 5v5 dogfighting, 5v5 fleet battles and a short story line. In VR.
Well Technically Star Citizen is a Pre-Order, lol.....but same boat, after countless games that went no where or just plane sucked, ill never preorder a game again. I really want to try Amazons "New World" but afraid to throw that money away.
For the most part, I'm sold on this game (especially after seeing Ewok bobble heads), but as my PC isn't powerful enough to run this in VR as well as that I don't have a VR setup, there's no point unless this game can be operated without VR.
EA = nope from me. Dont care if its the best game ever.
I will steer clear of this one, I have a feeling this game will be short lived, if you are a 5v5 person who is all about competitive gameplay then ya this is right up your alley, outside of that it doesn't have much appeal to the mainstream, but then again 5v5 stuff is pretty big in the Esports scene so who knows.
That being said I just finished Ghosts of Tsushima and for me this was the best story driven action game I have played since RDR2, the stories were exceptional, the combat was fun, the graphics were really good I really enjoyed it and could not put it down after I started playing it, I almost completed every single side quest and for me that is a real challenge, if you are looking for something to play right now Ghost of Tsushima is a great game, I rank it up there with RDR2 and Assassins Odyssey.
