Rocket League (STEAM, PS4)

Post by mjmjr25 »

Who has it?

I saw it on fast's want list, then saw a thread on another forum about it. It looks like amazing, fast, arcade fun.

If you have it, post your impressions.

I'd be down for some online steam play based on the videos i've seen.

Anyone who had PS+ on their PS4 should've downloaded it for free last month.

And yes, it's as fun as it looks.

Also heard a rumor that it either is or is going to be cross-platform (PS4 players vs PC players) but haven't looked into it. You may want to investigate that one, Mr. Mike.

It is cross platform already.

I have been playing it quite a lot (Pro ranked on the 2V2 and the solo 3v3), I have unlocked everything and have all trophies but one because it was bugged, since been fixed and working on it.

The game is great if you play with buddies, but everyone following the ball like watching kids play soccer, gets old fast. The amount of times you get pumped out of the way, your goal intercepted, etc, by a team mate makes playing it with randoms really frustrating and more often than not that is how it goes down.

I am looking forward to the ranked season starting (all the ranked progression so far will start over).

If anyone has it from RB on PS4, drop me a PM.

EDIT: Also painful when people drop out of ranked matches, even with the patch update with 15 minutes bans, it still happens when your team is down even a goal.

I love Rocket League. It is probably my GOTY so far.

And now I feel violated...you also must have seen such masterpieces that your family would be interested in, such as as Vagante, Knights Squad, and Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Cdamm spoke well of it on another site, and he and I have similar taste in games usually so I added it to my want list. I get a heavy Rocket Jockey meets Metal Drift vibe from it, so I want to play it but at $15 a player that is a bit stiff for me right now. I will grab a 4 pack or 6 pack when they go on sale. Developer has announced that new maps are coming this month - so there will probably be a sale around then.

Yeah it's currently cross-platform play between PS4 and PC, but you can only party up with people on the same platform. They are hoping to implement a solution soon that allows Steam players to party up with PS4 players. Will be very interesting to see how well/if that works. I can't imagine that you'll be able to chat with people on other platforms, but who knows.

I have it on PS4, and it's fantastic. It's excellent for 1v1 or 2v2 couch play as well.

Yeah I hadn't even heard of it until Dave showed it to me on PS4. It's the perfect simple to play, difficult to master game.

I'm planning on picking it up on Steam when it goes on sale, if I can hold out that long.

Consider me in on this when it happens.

Just played this at lunch with a co-worker, it's pretty amazing. The physics and feel of the driving is pretty much perfect.
