:siren: Rocket League is coming on July 7th 2015! Free for PS+ members in July, $19.99 for non-Plus and Steam users:siren:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hApsoyO3qiA

Rocket League is an exciting game that combines parts of soccer (futbol if you're a wanker), go-karts, and demolition derbies. The object of the game is to get the big, giant ball deep into your opponent's territory and penetrate their goal and to stop your opponent from doing the same to yours. The game follows the same rules from the first iteration on Playstation 3 "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars" but boosts the graphics up a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC82dWrFqCE

What stands out about this game versus other games that share a similar minigame is that you've got a rocket booster built onto the car. How cool is that? An industry first. You compete in a closed arena with ramped walls and the ability to climb nearly all of the way to the top, this allows you to get some great angles on the ball whether offensively or defensively. Oh yeah, you hit the ball with your car. Another industry first. You've got a limited amount of boost but it does allow for some pretty wicked flying once you get good at it. The game is played in short, 5-minute matches of either 3v3, 2v2, or 1v1.

The full game will feature:

quote:

Major visual upgrade
Single-player Season mode
Car customization
Online and Local Splitscreen Multiplayer
Unlockable Vehicles, Arenas, and Customization Items
Dedicated gameplay servers
Broadcast-quality replay editor
Regular updates and content/ feature drops
Much, much more!

Here is a quick tutorial done by veteran Famiy

And here is a highlight reel of a guy who is very very good, learning how to boost properly to propel yourself from the crazy angles will definitely make you an E-Progamer

News release from Playstation Blog 6/3/2015

quote:

The team here at Psyonix has been overwhelmed by the positive worldwide reaction to our upcoming action-sports game Rocket League. Which is why we want to give you all not one, but FOUR major pieces of information in a single announcement!

The first two are right there in the headline: Rocket League will be available for purchase on PlayStation Store July 7th, while Twisted Metal’s famous ice cream truck, Sweet Tooth, joins our roster of playable cars as a special unlockable vehicle exclusively on PS4! Watch our brand new trailer below for proof!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4iT0yZEwk8

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!

And finally, we’re very proud to announce that Rocket League will be making an appearance at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and will be playable in near-finished form. Season Mode, splitscreen multiplayer, car customization, and Sweet Tooth himself will all be available to check out and enjoy all three days of the show. We can’t wait to see you drop by to enjoy it!

I know I say it in every post, but on behalf of the entire team at Psyonix, that you VERY MUCH for the continued sentiment, support, and suggestions during the development of this game. Without you, our sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars never would have happened, and for that, we are forever grateful.

This game is so unreasonably fun for being utter chaos and frustration at hitting the jump button and flying past the ball you were trying your damnedest to tap at least a little bit.

You should absolutely check out this game if you enjoy arcadey and fast paced sport/racing games. It's such a simple premise and yet ridiculously fun.

Someone who has skills at this game should put together a little primer on rad stuff you should be doing. I still don't really understand how people can stay in flight so long, but they seem to get way more utility out of boost then I do.

The key to being able to pull off those ridiculous flying shots is predicting where the ball is going to be 3 seconds before it is actually there. When you have a decent prediction of where and when the ball will bounce things become a whole lot easier (and more stylish) so just play the game, then play it some more and then a little bit more until you have a full understanding of the physics affecting the ball and yourself and you will be well on your way.

Speaking of physics I bumped into a very, very good player a week or so ago when I was streaming and highlighted the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kewXi3JYFtM Please excuse me shouting like some kind of idiot but I was terribly impressed with their ability to plan and execute poo poo that I barely pull off through sheer luck alone.

Awesome! I will be streaming a lot more when the full release lands and intend on having a ranked team and any goons are completely welcome for some scrims. I will be picking up both the PS4 and Steam versions as not to exclude anyone.

Psyonix posted:

Certain maps with have versions that have different weather. But it isn't a stand-alone feature that you can customize any map with -- they are treated as another map. So, Mannfield, for example is selectable in its regular form from the map selection screen, but then right next to it would be Mannfield (Stormy) as another map selection.

Psyonix posted:

so, the beta was awesome, obvious question, when will the next beta take place?

Should be just a couple of weeks

Psyonix posted:

We are still finalizing it as we test different times of day/ weather effects. But it will be somewhere between 5 and 7. And all other arenas that we have post-release will ALWAYS be free. You will never pay for a new Arena/ Stadium in Rocket League. Ever.

Psyonix posted:

Off the top of our heads, though. The most immediate, most likely [DLC] would be stuff like new cars or decals or paint types or other customization items that would add to the personalization aspect of the game.

Psyonix posted:

We are definitely adding 4v4 public matches

Also, if you're already in beta 1, you're automatically in beta 2. No need to sign up again or anything :)

Psyonix posted:

There is definitely keeper training in the full game. We're trying to get the Beginner level one in for the next beta!

I love playing Goalie too, but we aren't currently planning to do anything like a car that's somehow better at goaltending. We considered it during development, but settled on everybody being on equal footing.

As for music - we're all about users playing their own music during the game. I'll have to forward this along to our audio department to see if there's a way we can auto detect it and disable menu music.

Psyonix posted:

In the early PC alpha we showed off a mutator system that allows you to play with a giant ball, low gravity, etc. I don't think that will be available for release but we'd like to bring it back in an update.

Psyonix posted:

We've taken a different approach for Rocket League. Our main focus for Rocket League is to allow people to customize their cars early and often. There will be a generous amount of options unlocked from the get-go. After that, you'll unlock one item per match. We did this so there would be a bountiful supply of customization options available!

You make a very brief appearance at 4:06, and then I steal one of your goals in the stupidest way possible at 4:11 by missing a simple tap-in.

It's nothing special or anything, especially compared to some of the crazy poo poo people pull off in other videos, but I was happy with this because it was the first time I had actually managed to do something effective with air boosting to lead to a goal:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvOv4Jw41fo

this was still before I knew you could hit X again in the air to flip in a direction though.

No need to dig your own hole there. I thought that was nice. :)

This was my own favourite play from the beta, even though I dash like a madman and miss the ball in the beginning. It turns into a pretty neat assist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qY3mnZoRbM

I love how the guy who scores reads the play pretty well too. Gets the full boost (after I crash into him) and then just zooms past all the opponents to slam the pass in. This is also why I love replays after goals - you can see what your teammates are doing.

Can't wait to play again, be it the next round of beta or the full release.

It's awesome when you have a partner and it feels like you're in sync. That's how most of that match felt; I could trust that he was going to be behind me if I accidentally hosed up, or I would set up a pass and he'd be in the area to try and shoot with it. we ended up being able to rematch like four or five times in a row and it was great.
