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.

9 times out of 10 that is the fault of shifting perspectives because of ball-camera.

I only played about 5 matches but 4v4 was too chaotic. Funny at times, but way too hard to do anything legit. (At least at my skill level.)

Stat histories, car inspections, the ability to just highlight names and go "invite to party" or "add to friends list" etc. I think it would help foster communities- for instance we could all just say "go to the goon room to find people to play with" instead of having the spreadsheet and having to scroll through our friend lists constantly to find anyone else who's playing (and then being uncertain of if they are looking to team up or not).

I think this game could be really popular and people would probably like it if you could make rooms w/ a max occupancy of 99 so the IGN or Reddit or whatever people can all easily meet up and play together. Pretty much exactly like MKX, for instance. Just a thought!

Speaking of, can someone give a basic rundown on flying? Aside from my sudden retardation I was of little help to a cop the other day when I could have probably saved our asses, not knowing how to do it.

At its most essential:
Jump, angle your butt down, boost. You will propel upwards. Actually steering/hitting anything is a whole other ball of "how the hell...?!"

Also try to have ground forward momentum already before you try to fly. Trying to launch from a dead standstill burns nearly all your boost just trying to get moving.

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!

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!
Rocket League, Sweet ToothRocket League, Sweet Tooth
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.
See you at E3 and see you once again on July 7th!

Given the release date I sort of suspected this would happen. As others have said I'm cool with allocating the well deserved money I would've spent buying the game on any dlc that'll show up.

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!"

icking fudiot: I'm noticing kind of a screen-tear on fast movement regardless of V Sync being on or off... is this related to FOV/Camera changes being outside the default norm?

VSync may not toggle correctly without a reboot, that was a bug awhile back, not sure if it got fixed.

Yes. Noticed when I came back it was neat and tidy again. Once you turn it off, no amount of toggling will make it active again. Cheers, not a big one, but definitely still a bug that's there... :)

Real hurthling! posted:

servers still down for me.

am i right in my feeling that the ball locked camera is only for finding the ball and sucks rear end for trying to hit it?

I thought I liked the Ball Locked Camera in beta but a Ball Locked camera and a ball in motion = you absolutely loving up your angle of approach and missing.

The fact that there is an option for Ball Lock being a "press and hold" option is pretty telling. Basically if you whiff the ball or it gets behind you, you lock it, spin around to face it, and unlock it. I feel like that is the pro maneuver.

I was pretty happy to hear this was a ps+ game. Then strangely disappointed I couldn't give you money. I don't think I've ever had that feeling before. I hope they compensated you dudes better than you could have managed on your own though. I know I was gonna hype this poo poo up for sure, but ps+ gives you a ton of players who would never have thought to buy this game. It's gotta be great publicity.

Easy Fix for more money. Devs go bigger on some really cool DLC and we pay them for it. Win-Win.

One of the best tips I could give players is on the "tipoff" when you are barreling head on at the ball, try to SLIGHTLY adjust your angle of approach/impact. Having the ball not fly exactly straight-line at the goal can oftentimes result in an immediate score.


[ed]

Tip # 2: Learn to go up walls. Most of my best fast-break scores come from seeing the ball kind of pop up/roll up the side wall, I drive up the wall and come down at it, hitting boost down/towards goal. Then I just follow it in.

Tip # 3) Backwards Bicycle kicks are a great way to stop your (and the ball's) Super fast momentum:
