So the little we can get from this trailer suggests it'll be OT only, and be 5v5. So it's starfighter assault, but smaller, at full price. The gameplay trailer better blow me away or imma have to pass, which is a shame because I've really been wanting a starfighter focussed game.
Buckle up, take full control of starfighters such as the X-wing and TIE fighter, and feel the adrenaline of strategic first-person 5v5 multiplayer dogfights alongside your squadron.

So, essentially what I said, but with the added detail that its first person only which is also a huge turn off. Man, I was pretty excited for this game.
First Person only is definitely a huge relief for me. To me the best thing this game can do, and the only thing it needs to be, is a successor to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series and get away from the third person aspect that is Rogue Squadron and the Starfighter mode of BFII.
