Rocket League is coming on July 7th 2015! Free for PS+ members in July, $19.99 for non-Plus and Steam users 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 Here is a quick tutorial done by veteran Famiy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-VIC5xVhtE 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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdVmqssa5v4 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! checksin posted:Soundtrack is up on Google Play: Add your Steam/PSN profiles here to make friends!

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.

This looks like a cool game and I am looking forward to whenever it hits steam.

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.

This game is fun as gently caress and I will be buying it when it comes out. Played the PS4 beta nonstop, ignoring all my other games.

Doggles, I had a few games with you the other night. You're really good and I was hoping each match we'd get paired together. Didn't know you were a goon though!

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.

Ah, so you're 1000 Angry Bees! I had a few games with you on Friday or Saturday and knew you were a goon! I believe I played Day-Z some time ago too with you! Didn't run to into AstroPhzics though holy poo poo.

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.

Feenix posted:Where my choice quotes? 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? 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 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! 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!

Oh yes, definitely had some great matches together. Been busy recently, but I finally had time to put together a little highlight reel of my own last night. https://www.facebook.com/WillBKingIII/videos/10101993631039338/?l=2910217672992103864 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.

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. PSN: TotalSoth

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.

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.

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.

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.
