Nemarus Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) http://kotaku.com/new-star-wars-space-combat-game-already-cancelled-1580779510 (link has 10 minutes of gameplay footage) It definitely looks like it had a lot in common with GSF, though I will say GSF was a lot more polished and engaging, even in closed beta, than SWAS closed beta footage looked. That being said, it didn't look so bad as to warrant cancellation. My guess is that between F2P GSF and Star Wars: Battlefront 3 coming out soon, the powers that be didn't want to dilute the Star Wars Space Combat audience with a browser game. The wishful thinker in me hopes that some of the devs from SWAS get hired by BioWare to augment GSF's development staff!

General_Brass Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I tried attack squadrons can see why it got shot down. While it definitely had potential and had many features GSF could use it had even more problems than GSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityLyre Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Good. Shutter all the garbage games and have a new, sweet sequel to the TIE Fighter series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Antan is still alive and mocking all of us. He NEEDS to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of this game until now.... I personally never understood the popularity of the Battlefront games. The first Battlefront was quite clearly a 'Star Wars copy' of Battlefield 1942 -- except it was glitchy and not nearly as good. The space combat in Battlefront 2 was horrendous. I'm not going to waste money on the third one like I did the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I feel like swf1 was more polished than swbf2. ironically I happen to be munging (compiling) a custom belsavis map for bf2 as I type this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
