This... is a Rocket League clone, yeah, in the loosest sense of the word. I don't think the author's deeply involved in political wheelings and dealings around Epic's past actions and trying to whitewash something they did. People make side projects all the time that port "missing" software to new platforms, regardless of the reason that software is missing from that platform. There's a good chance OP didn't even kno…

I seriously, seriously think that in the future (possibly far future) various eSports will all be derived from a few open-source base games. The ability of game developers to leverage licensing, contracts with orgs, etc. to lock down a competitive ecosystem with exclusivity results in inability for a "free market" to develop around running events and broadcasts. Rocket League and League of Legends come to mind here,…

I've been playing different styles and genres of video games ever since Wolfenstein 3D and I consider myself pretty adept at playing them. However, Rocket League is one game that I just can't master. I've tried, really really tried, but I just can't play it with any amount of skill. It's a shame, as it looks really fun and I hear my son and his mates having a ball when they play.

I basically suck at Rocket League (can't get beyond Plat.III in any mode), but I still enjoy playing it daily. Turn off ALL chat except tactical team quick chats, otherwise it's a toxic quagmire.

I heard Comm, a pro, once say that he wished he had his 14 year old fingers back...think he was 17 at a time. To me, a 40 year old playing with KBM, I feel like I just can't bend my brain around all of the 3d possibilities. I just don't have any intuition for rolling my car while it accelerates towards the front...and then you add in the complexity of the camera and, yeah, I suck.
