God I hope the next beta has some of the customization options. Really looking forward to this.

Oh, and feel free to add me for when the next beta rolls around. I'm not great or anything, but I feel like I improved over the course of the first beta.

No customization in beta 2, sorry!

The little noises added through the controller are neat but when you use the PS4 Gold headset they seem twice as loud as the other sounds. They're not TOO loud, just kind of startling.

I believe that's a known issue that wasn't fixed in time for the beta update.

On an unrelated note I would like points to be awarded for Demolitions.

Not happening, rewarding Demolish incentivizes a playstyle we don't think is beneficial to the game. It's in there but you aren't going to earn XP for constantly destroying people.

Have you ever played Injustice or MKX? You know how they have rooms, where people can meet up and check out each other's stats and such...is something like this possible for Rocket League? Maybe a future goal? I think it would really own.

What features would you want out of this that aren't currently served with Private Matches that you just screw around in idly and chat? Stat history, what else?

Any idea why this game needs a 200+ MB save file? It filled up my 1GB PS+ cloud storage quota.

Forced to preallocate by Sony for saved replay storage. Probably shouldn't in the demo when replay saving is disabled though.

There have been anywhere between 4-5k people on this entire weekend. Assuming at least that many people purchase the game, that's ~$100k right there.

All I can say is that's unfortunately peanuts in modern game development :( But we are hopeful it will do well and justify more games like it as well as more content for itself.

I love this too but why did they have to bring in bots? Maybe it's because I suck but they seem to dominate the games I'm in.

They probably need to select their difficulty level based on the skill rating of the match they're in. I think it's defaulting to Allstar bots.

Don't be surprised, people agonize over buying $0.99 games on mobile and then drop $5 on a coffee. There's no rhyme or reason to it. It doesn't help that $60 titles go on sale within 6 months either.

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.

"@AMMu3aTh No plans for another beta. We are focusing on release now. July 7 is fast approaching"

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.

I should set up a Twitch plays Rocket League thing with the PC build.

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.

Upon release, you won't be able to party up with people on the platform you're not on.

BUT



Need to correct this. Twitch chat can get things mixed up.

- Matchmaking will pair up PC and PS4 players at release.
- Shortly after launch, we will patch to introduce a way to form Private matches cross platform.
- You cannot party cross platform and we are not sure if we will ever support that. Only parties can matchmake together, so there is currently no way to support matchmaking with cross platform friends.

I'm actually curious if this changes their plans at all with regard to DLC. Their original pitch (SOCCER PUN!) was "Under 20 dollars and lots of post-release DLC for free!"

Original (and current) pitch was/is MAP DLC will always be free. We always planned to do paid cosmetic DLC if there was a demand. This did move the timetable up a bit.

It will be the greatest month of my life. I might be like those korean guys who die playing WoW though.

I'm most excited because this probably means that 1v1 will actually be sorta-kinda active. It was by a vast margin the least-populated playlist in beta but with it being free on ps+ I have a feeling more lone-wolf types will pick it up. While I love the team play in Rocket League the 1v1 really is like a different game entirely and I loved doing it more than anything when beta first dropped because your game improves at an absurdly fast pace compared to team games (because you get more opportunities to hit and maneuver with the ball, you're both striker and goalie, etc).

Strap on your butt for 1v1 Ranked Mode then.

Bit disappointed that the leaderboards are just total # of each thing- it'd be nice if they showed both total and goals-per-game / saves-per-game etc. The per-game stats are in the personal stats menu but not the leaderboards. As-is the leaderboards will always just show whoever's been playing the longest. I guess it's that or just have a bunch of people who played 1 game but scored 10 goals, although it could be like The Last of Us and show both.

Just minor nitpicking, been playing all day and loving it.

I think this was planned and got lost in the rush to get the game out, we'll hopefully add that view.

MM came up and immediately flushed about 3,000 people into matches and we're server starved again. They're spooling up as fast as they can but there may be an unrelated bug in the game client causing some people to get stuck in MM. We're still waiting for Sony to push our hotfix but that hasn't happened.
