Rocket League on Switch targeting 720p 60fps. PS4 crossplay a "political barrier".

Fucking hell. I hate people so much sometimes.
Yeah, how dare someone want a game to look good when it's already on so many other platforms.
Grrr people are so awful.

Their money they can choose how to spend it if it's not up to their standard
For me 900p is a minimum nowadays, i struggle playing 720p current gen games
but the devs are working to make the game look good, that's the point
That's indeed a big barrier. I wanted to play RL with a friend of mine. He has the pc version, I have the ps4 version. Not possible to make specific matchmaking cross platform.
Tbh: whether I play with randoms on ps4 or other platforms doesn't really matter for me, so the feature is not as great as it sounds (as long as the community on one platform is large enough, what's the case for RL).

Either removed outright or replaced. You can't see the console exclusive stuff on PC.

720p means the game wont look good? You cant be serious.

It'll probably have better AA, texture quality, lighting and shadows, etc than undocked.
It'd be much worse if they shot for more resolution and compromised on framerate. It just wouldn't be Rocket League at that point.
Yeah, I don't care if it looks like their previous game (SSARPBC), so long as it has a smooth frame rate and no tearing.
From a quick Google Images search:
EDIT: (Note, that image is SSARPBC, not Rocket League Switch)
Not 100% sure I'll get it for Switch, but I think it's an essential title for anyone who ever has an opportunity to play local system-linked multiplayer.

I hope the Mario stuff in Minecraft doesn't get dropped altogether. Since the Nintendo Switch Edition is being replaced (and possibly delisted) after the cross-platform version update comes out, I got a bad feeling it's going to be the one thing that won't transfer over to the new version if in Rocket League's case, console stuff (Halo and Twisted Metal if I recall) doesn't show up.
They said they're still negotiating over that stuff and will have details later.

I hope this continuous pressure on Sony pays off.
First when you say pc i hope you realize it is only on win 10 on pc...java is a separate version
Mojang says they are still in talks with nintendo so that nintendo exclusive skins and stuff will work across if you buy them...which sounds great because that means at the least that halo stuff will be availabe across all platforms if you buy them on xbox
This is pathetic.
It's great to see a dev prioritise framerate over resolution for a change.

Honestly, the idea of crossplay is amazing and I hope we get that for games like call of duty and other 3rd party multiplats in the future. Nintendo gamers would benefit heavily with more people in lobbies for all modes against Ms and Sony owners

I can't blame them. Their main competitor is MS after all, and the idea of using Xbox live servers for Sony does sound a bit jarring. It benefits the switch at least though, because it needs a big install base/lobby.

I hope you realize you're in a thread about Rocket League and we're talking about Rocket League.
Psyonix runs the servers. Sony wouldn't be using Xbox live servers.
I think the real benefit of having it on Switch is having the option to play portable. The cross-play and local wireless options are a plus too, giving people more ways to play locally with their own screen.

This. And I'd rather they went for frame rate over resolution for this game. It's a no brainer.
Who the hell plays rocket league for its graphics? LOL
This needs to be the hashtag.

I wonder if Sony is afraid people will find out their security is tin cans and a string

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. I'll be getting it and hope it hits 720p undocked, but I think the main thing is that it maintains 60fps.
The crossplay is also nice as I don't have to concern myself with wondering if there will be a big community on Switch.

Is this the first time you've ever heard a dev talk about framerate? It's always "targeting 30/60 FPS". Doesn't say anything about if they're having difficulty achieving it or anything like that
all those banderas gifs, but at what cost

I'm not sure I understand why we're seeing a few games on Switch run at the same resolution docked and undocked. Does anyone have any insight into why?
I know that Minecraft put the increased power towards the world size. Perhaps Rocket League will do something similar with graphical settings or performance?

Many games and gamers would benefit from crossplay. Destiny would be incredible with it, Rocket League, PUBG, Black Desert (if it comes out for PS4), Tera Online.
But Sony right now has bullshit reasons to say no.

They do allow pc/ps4 cross play in rocket league. Just not ps4/other consoles.

Targeting mostly means it's not hitting 60 constantly in my book. That's why I expressed my doubts. Will wait for DF.

I've tried playing the game on my old pc and when it's not 60fps it's really annoying, framerate is crucial.
Cool! It's main appeal is gonna be as a handheld version I think so that's pretty cool. I would just use my PC to play on TV. I know other people are in other situations, but Rocket League isn't a spring chicken.
I never thought I would live in a world where 720p would be called low-res, haha.

I'm positive that even at 720/60fps, the game will look good docked and even better on the handheld. The Switch isn't a powerhouse but everything I've played on it so far looks great and runs fine. Just look at other games with vehicles like Kart or Fast RMX, both running at 60fps well.
