‘Hunted’ was created by Motive, Lucasfilm, and ILM
Whether or not you’re in the mood for aStar Warsflight sim, thisStar Wars: Squadronsshort film –a seven-minute tale about the last TIE pilot left standing in the wake of a battle –is a cool watch.
The protagonist of this lead-in short, Titan Squadron leader Varko Grey (you gotta love unmistakablyStar Warsnames), is “one of the ace pilots who you’ll be fighting alongside” inSquadrons.
This video was a collaborative effort between Motive, Lucasfilm, and ILM, so a not-insignificant amount of energy went into its creation. “Hunted” is a fun way to build up to the game’s October 2 launch.
The mechanical foundation ofSquadronslooks promising (and niceties like HOTAS support go a long way), but can the story stick the landing? I hope it takessome cues from 1994’sTIE Fighter.
Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor, and Reaper – decisions, decisions.
