Rocket League

It's not too late for us to play this for real. It's clearly a hot game. I played it every night since getting it that I didn't have something else to do.

  • I have it on ps4. I was half tempted to get a PC copy when there was a pricing error on GMG yesterday but by the time I decided to do it it was fixed. However apparently there is PC ps4 cross play. I haven't checked it out at all though. I might just say fuck it and drop 20 on it because I've put like 40 hours into this game I got for free.
  • I bought it a few days ago, thought I would play it for 15 minutes and ended up playing it for hours, have exams at the moment so can't play every day.

    I'm so bad at the flying mechanic, I can only go in a straight line.

    Most people can only go in a straight line.

    I'm using XBox gamepad. Are pros using mouse/keyboard?
  • I'm using my PS4 controller.
  • I would have to imagine people use a controller.

    The third place leaderboard position was PS4. https://rocketleaguestats.com/

  • I fell in the standings some because I decided to play a few too many games on a Saturday with randos. I was at 475 for a bit.

    As far as I've been able to find out, almost every pro - if not every, but I don't know for sure - uses a controller of some sort.

    Yeah, I figured there was no benefit to mouse/keybaord for this game since you have a limited turning radius, unlike an FPS.
  • These seem like they give some decent tips.

  • This is what top tier looks like.

  • TIL when the clock runs out the game won't end until the ball touches the ground. If you keep juggling it, you still have a chance to score.

    Literally exactly how the final game of the championships was decided this time around - Cosmic Aftershock (Kronovi, Sadjunior, and Gibbs) vs Kings Of Urban (Gambit, Fireburner, Kyle Masc).



    Just go here for the tournament-winning shot.

  • Alright, there are enough people I know into this game now. I'm going to begin budgeting for it.
  • Same. This looks fun as hell.
  • I still use the keyboard and mouse because my muscle memory for gamepad is bad.
  • I was also told yesterday by a coworker that if you hold Square (or X on Xbox controller) you will change your yaw angle to roll angle.

    I don't remember them ever mentioning that, maybe in one of the tutorials.

    If you've preordered the Steam controller you now own Rocket League (and Portal 2 I guess).

    Also if you got the Steam link too.

  • 10% off for the next 48 hours in celebration of hitting a million copies.
  • Fun facts - A Psy Net avatar means they're on a different platform. A question mark or regular steam/PS4 avatar means they're on the same platform as you are.
  • I'd heard that before but I wasn't quite convinced that was the case considering there was a setting specifically to allow PC players and mine was turned off.

  • No esport will ever take off until there is either:

    a: space on the screen dedicated to seeing reactions of players.

    b: time in the game dedicated to showing the reactions of the players.
  • I still want GOOD COMMENTATORS my goodness in all these clips I want to punch whomever is talking because they are giving you nothing but sideline cheering for the team and telling me what I saw was cool.
  • My problem with that video is that there's no emotion on screen. There's only emotion in the commentary. I have no context about how "big" any of these points are by looking at the pictures.
  • It's mostly the skill involved in the shots themselves. None of them are really tide turning or anything.

    E-sports have already taken off.
  • A patch coming in a week or two will officially start Season 1. It will also let PC users filter out those crappy PS4 players.
