Hoops trailer, due out in a week.
The game is on free weekend and on sale for $12 on steam. If you’re the sort of terrible person who didn’t pick it up, now is your chance.
Finally picked this up by signing up for the Humble Monthly Bundle. I am hopelessly addicted. I’m not that great (especially hitting the ball when it’s in the air), but the matchmaking is great. I normally hate playing games online, but I never feel hopelessly outclassed or that I’m way better than my opponents.
I’ve gotten pretty good at hockey though, mainly because the “ball” stays mostly on the ground. I’ve been the top scorer in most of the games I’ve played. I can’t play too many though, because then when I go back to standard it takes me a long time to readjust.
A couple weeks ago Rocket League had a free weekend on Xbox One, and I would up playing so much I bought it.
Hockey is by far my favorite mode, but if you haven’t played any basketball, I highly suggest you do. Basketball forces you to quickly learn how to better control the car in the air with the rocket, which can give you a huge boost (pun intended) in any of the game modes.
Big new patch with a new mode. There’s a goofy power ups mode where you get random powerups that can boot other players across the map, pull or push the ball, teleport to swap your place with other players, or become a driving tornado. It’s pretty fun.
Other quality of life stuff like presets for car customizations, and a TF2 style crate system for cosmetics (meh).
New mode is a ton of fun, very goofy.
Looks like this last version made the game Mac/SteamOS compatable.
