Does the little bobblehead on Sweet Tooth's roof affect the ball trajectory? :allears:

Also interested in cheat-detection. PC gamers are scum of the earth and should just be penned off in their own greasy world, imo.

I will be on the final leg of a 5,900km drive when it comes out but I look forward to deliriously playing it after my 55 hours of torment end the next day.

What the headline doesn’t tell you is that Rocket League will also be one of the few games in history that supports PS4/ PC cross-play — meaning that owners of both the console version and the PC version will be able to team up or go head-to-head in the same matches when the game launches early next month!

Someone post the huge :eyepop: because this one isn't enough

Any word on a Steam release date?

I get that it's unpopular with the console crowd, and I really hope they have a strong anti-cheat system in place. As a legit PC gamer I really loathe hackers, they gently caress it up for everyone.

Based on everything I'm reading it's coming the same day, dual release. So that's pretty sweet considering I remember them saying "later this year" for PC release.

This is a pretty valid concern. Any information regarding them fighting off potential hackers on the PC version?

PC/PS4 crossplay could be loving amazing if they implement it properly. The hacking concern is very important, but Psyonix has my trust right now with how good everything else is with this game, so I'm believing they have ways to deal with potential problems.

If it soothes your minds a little guys, there's a lot of inherent protections we have against PC causing crossplay issues.
1) PC controls are not superior to controller in this game, so there's no mechanical advantage
2) Player capabilities are much more limited in most games where hacking is especially problematic - there's no way to "aimbot", no wallhacking, etc.
3) We can always cut the cord temporarily if problems arise until we can deal with them.

I kinda agree... But on the other hand, I think it's very much possible to write hacks that you can use to steer you automatically towards hitting middle of the ball, or something in that vein.

Hopefully they allow you to play with just console players, if you want to. In any case you can host your own private games, if you don't feel like playing randoms.

VVVVVV Yeah, or that.

Altering of top speed or acceleration, noclipping through players, and teleporting around the map (to a goalie position) would be obvious exploits. Dedicated servers instead of p2p should help hinder a lot of that though.

People beg for cross-platform, and for good reason. I just messaged a few friends who don't have PS4s and who do PC gaming almost exclusively to see if they wanted to get this and make a team. A functional, non-hacked cross-play would be extremely exciting for me.

You can't party with a friend on a different platform, because you aren't actually friends on the platform you are on. We use the party system for each platform, so these aren't compatible ideas. That said, we will support crossplay in private matches.

Writing our own party system is a big task, which we may undertake at a later time.

Assuming you wanted to play with someone you know, rather than a random person, you would use private match. The details are still in the works.

Bummer about this, but hopefully they can implement something to get that going. I was wondering what happens if I use the same username for both Steam and PS4 in the event I buy it twice.

I was pleased to know that you can opt out of crossplay if you want. That's all I need really. It's amazing that you are doing it, but it's also a relief that you can just ignore the PC crowd, if hacks happen to become problematic.

Clearly I haven't been giving you guys enough credit for all the game design choices you've made. :)

Well, gently caress. How am I supposed to cope for almost a month without being able to play Rocket League?

Witcher 3 might be one of the best games I've ever played, and I've probably got 150 hours of it left, but while playing I just find myself wishing I could be bicycling balls to the walls.

You’ll probably get a “DELETED GAME” folder in your Media app, if you snapped a lot of photos and videos, but that’s it.

The main reason to delete the beta is that Rocket League takes up a whopping 200 MB of your online save storage (which is only 1 GB).

Is there any word on the logistics behind forming a group cross platform? Most of my buddies will be getting the steam release, while I'll probably grab the ps4 version for the time being. Matchmaking with randoms I get, but unsure how I'd invite a steam dude to my team.

Unfortunately, no cross platform parties at release. Party system uses platform specific services from Steam and Sony so there's no way for them to talk to eachother.

We're going to look at introducing some sort of cross platform friends and party support post launch. In the interim we're working on private lobbies that would be joinable from a list so you don't need to be friends to set up a game, but still couldn't matchmake together.
