My biggest concern with the game is just how it will feel control wise in handheld mode using the joycons. I think you'll get a very true to PC/XBox/PS4 experience in tablet or docked mode using the Pro controller, but since I am using handheld mode only on the Switch I'm very curious to see how it holds up using the Joycons.

 

[mavericktopgun]

60fps and cross play with Xbox and PC???? Omg. This is like a dream come true.

I have a friend that snuck some footage at the Nintendo store in NYC. Here is the link:

Him and his friends also have a podcast where they talk about it. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll post a link.

 

[Danneee]

Day one.

Amen!

 

[boneyjangles]

I'm sure I've put many hundreds of hours into rocket league by now, own it on PS4 and steam. Day 1 on switch.

Edit - don't get excited about cross-play, it's just increased matchmaking pool, no actual teaming up with friends.

This is my biggest concern as well. I'm afraid that if you want to get remotely competitive, 'Handheld Mode' will almost definitely put you at a disadvantage if you go online. Not sure how the digital triggers will feel either...

I'm definitely getting it though. Psyonix deserves all my monies.

 

[DwightSchruting]

Are there any promotions for if you’ve already bought it? Just wondering as a broke college student

 

[Falchion]

Really cool but I'd definitely want to use the pro controller playing this online.

 

[PetrCobra]

yes Yes YES

 

[marc^o^]

In the top 5 of the most important Switch games. Basically a killer app.

At least Psyonix is planning to implement it in the future:

[LordofPwn]

I'll probably get this just so i can have a low latency display to play on.

Like FIFA?

 

[GinoFelino]

Give me a damn release date already

So excited for this.

For those who don't want to click the link:

PARTY TIME!
Along with a Tournaments Beta before the year is done, we will also be testing a new Party System that we're building directly into Rocket League. When finished, this new system will allow you to party up directly via PsyNet instead of the party systems currently used through Steam, Xbox Live, or the PlayStation Network. Our first test(s), however, will be limited to Steam players.

Once your account is flagged for the new Party system, your game will automatically sync with your Steam Friends List information and allow you to create a party via PsyNet. You'll still use the 'Create Party' button as you normally would, but instead of seeing a Party invite in Steam, you'll see new in-game notifications alerting you to a Party invite.

While the PsyNet Party System is Steam-only, this is the first step in enabling the possibility of supporting cross-platform parties at a later date. We'll have more information about the new Party System once we're closer to launch.

 

[Unicorn]

Another 700 hours? Sure, why not!

 

[EvB]

Never played it before myself. Excited to see what the fuzz is about!

You shouldn’t have taken it for granite

 

[marc^o^]

Like FIFA?

Cross platform online, exclusive cars, HD Rumble, 60fps, all the content is there. It’s a social game that can easily please a Nintendo crowd, and it’s one of the most obvious titles you’d want to play as a handheld, even if you have it. The fact it’s cheap will make people double dip. I think it will be huge, both sales wise, and in terms of image.

 

[ASaiyan]

Read 60fps. No need to read anything more. Just tell us when this port is happening, lol.

 

[polyh3dron]

thank fuck it runs at 60.

 

[Trace]

I WANT IT YESTERDAY

 

[pretty done]

thank fuck it runs at 60.

Wish the PS4 Pro version did... lol

It's so unstable that I just play on PC only nowadays

 

[Robiin]

How does it handle not having analog triggers?

 

[Trace]

How does it handle not having analog triggers?

Shouldn't matter because you only want to go full speed in Rocket League anyway.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Shouldn't matter because you only want to go full speed in Rocket League anyway.

Actually, that's not true.

There really should be a control scheme that lets me accelerate/reverse with the right stick and jump with a shoulder button

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Will buy, will suck because of no analogue triggers.

Shouldn't matter because you only want to go full speed in Rocket League anyway.

This is hilariously false.

 

[Real]

This team should port BotW from the WiiU onto the Switch.

 

[Diablohead]

Shouldn't matter because you only want to go full speed in Rocket League anyway.

Not always.

 

[MatthewB92]

How did panic button become the switch port team?

 

[Ac30]

How did panic button become the switch port team?

I have no idea, but the fact that they can’t get either Rocket League or Doom to run at a higher resolution when docked is kinda sad; the GPU doubles its clocks yet they can’t use it?

 

[Lylo]

Not always.

That's true, but you can easily adjust the speed with timely touches on the trigger, i played a little bit on the PC version using the Pro Controller just to see how it felt and it was good, i think the lack of analog triggers won't be a huge issue.

 

[BanjoLayleeYookaKazooie]

Will buy, will suck because of no analogue triggers.

You're buying a game you think will suck? Do you just want to support the devs or something?

 

[Scrawnton]

I think it’s more of a “man we have to get these two ports out in time for the holidays, let’s just optimize docked mode post launch” than a lack of programming or technical knowledge.

 

[MutFox]

When does it release?

Have it on PC, probably have like 1000+ hours.
I still love the game.

Will get on Switch.
Would love to play split screen when on the go.
Just passing a joycon to player 2.

Wonder if they'll add motion controls as an option.
Would like to try adding air control to motion on the joycon.
Due to missing an analog in 2 player mode if shared.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

As someone who grew up playing racing games on a keyboard, I am always amused whenever people talk about digital triggers making driving games somehow impossible to play.

I also grew up playing racing games on a keyboard.

Doesn't mean it isn't bottom tier garbage, zero nostalgia.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Triple dipping day one.

 

[18-Volt]

These Panic Button guys need to take on more Switch ports. They're truly miracle workers. Fallout 4? Evil Within 2? Or even... Red Dead Redemption 2???

 

[neurophd]

Really curious how well this will control in handheld mode and if I can be competitive in cross play vs. a conventional controller. I usually play with Xbox Elite controller using paddle for boost.

 

[Cube]

First ever Quad-Dip.

 

[Peltz]

Greatest game of all time. Also triple dipping on day 1.

 

[BigDug13]

If the plan was crossplay then 60fps was vital.

 

[MutFox]

Have played Rocket League on a keyboard and mouse.
Works fine.

Took a bit to get used to it, but it's good.
Prefer a controller setup.
That's just preference though.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

You're buying a game you think will suck? Do you just want to support the devs or something?

I mean it will suck compared to PC which I already have the game on. But yeah I'll buy it for those times I want to play in bed or something and because I think Psyonix deserve the support.

Basically if I want to properly play the game I'll play on PC. If I want a quick mess about I'll use the switch.

Also works in two ways, I will suck at the game because of no analogue triggers.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Why wouldn't it be 60fps?

 

[Currygan]

never played this buy the fact it's portable puts it on my radar. Seems like a fun game

 

[Dreamcast2]

I played it in handheld mode and it felt great.

 

[Neiteio]

Easily one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made. It's fun from the very first moment you throttle the boost, ride up a wall and across the ceiling, and double-jump to bicycle kick the ball. So good. Atmosphere is also underrated — the sounds of the crowd, the rain in certain arenas, the lights of the stadium, etc. Game has a very warm and cozy feeling. And since this has crossplay, there will always be lots of people playing.

It's impressive to me that Switch is already getting two of the most fun PS4 games (Rocket League and DOOM). Hopefully they port over MGSV at some point; I'd love to put another 200 hours into that game.

Also, fwiw, I honestly can't tell a visual difference between this Switch port and the original. It looks identical to me.

 

[Complicated]

I'll be there. Can't wait to use that Metroid car, and see how the game feels without proper triggers.

 

[Mediking]

Day one!
