Rocket League

So...anyone play it? I got it for free on PS+ and it's amazing. For a casual sports-type game, it hits absolutely all the right marks. I'm not going to describe it, because you can Google that. To quickly list what's great about it...

- Gameplay hits the perfect balance between being easy to learn and hard to master. You can jump right in and have fun your first time, or play 1000's of times just focusing on getting better.

- Matches are brief, only ~5 minutes long. Perfect for playing in short bursts, and not bad for extended play sessions ("just one more...just one more...").

- Cross platform play (PS4 and PC), great feature that merges two playerbases to create one big one. Because there are so many people to play against, matchmaking is instant (when it works - has been just slightly shaky due to high amount of people playing).

- Local splitscreen(!)...up to 4 players! Hell yea! Grab your friends, grab a beer, get ready to compete in matches online (2v2, 3v3, 4v4). Or your online friend across the country can grab his roommate, you can grab yours, and you can have a good ol' time online. The integration is amazing, each screen can fully customize their options (camera, controls, cars, etc.).

- Very decent graphics, but very well optimized (ATI 5850 listed under recommended specs...very nice)

I haven't picked it up on PC, but I might do it simply to support these developers and have 144 FPS. Has anyone been playing the game lately? Thoughts on it? Or any questions from people who haven't played it?

didn't know about it being crossplay with the PS4. Might just get it now when its alittle cheaper

Now if only counter strike:GO was crossplay with the PS4.....

Yup I got it on PS+ as well, its awesome, but being a sports/driving game you need a controller on PC or your at a huge disadvantage, even if you have a superior fps.

Got it on PS+ and I'm hooked. The game is an absolute blast to play. Wasn't expecting much when it loaded up, but by the end of the 1st match, I was ready to really learn the ins and outs of playing the game to get better.

I did 26 match of the season and lost 2.

The game have some flaws but:

GG

Exactly what I was thinking. I had no anticipation of loving this game, I just thought it looked kind of neat from the screenshots. Even though ultimately it's just a variation of football, without a ton of variety and with cars, it feels like there's endless fun to be had playing against people online.

Ps3 and Portal 2 I think had it to... Also expect more xbox one games and pc games to play together in the future with windows 10 coming out for both in the future. I know Fable Legends and one other game are going to have PC and xbox one, hope more games do it. Shadowrun was fun years back with pc players and console players together.

As for the thread topic, the game is fantastic on PC. Runs very very well, not had any big issues so far and its a blast to play.

As I wrote in my steam review, it reminds me of Twister Metal, Mario Kart, Unreal Soccer Mod and Fifa all mixed together for some good ole fashioned fun gameplay.

I got in on PS+ for free and I'm having a blast with it. I don't even like soccer.

i got it on steam. loving it so far. 6+ hours and still wanting to replicate the thrill of scoring a goal.

easily the best indie game to come out in a LONG time.

Since Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I'd say. It's even better when it's unexpected.

Decided to pick this up, its pretty damn fun though I am so bad at it lol. I've found so far in my rookie-laden matches that if a team has any AI players they will probably win. I'm guessing this will change as I improve.

I gave it a shot on PS4 last night because it was free. I found the frame-rate pretty bad and inconsistent. Also, when you enable vsync, there is still tearing. WTF? This game is not optimized well at all on PS4. It is a simple game and should not be struggling. The game itself seems fun and I might pick it up on PC because I can't stand the technical issues on the PS4 version.

Got it on PC and its great fun, always wondered when a (full) game like this will come out, i've only seen a few mods that were not so polished.

That's really odd, I play with V-sync off on PS4 and have had no issues with framerate. Even with 3-player splitscreen, my experience has been buttery smooth 100% of the dozen hours I've put into it.

Getting it today I think. The hype is real.

I need to get this game with all the hype going around it! It is free on PSN anyways....
