Sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC82dWrFqCE


I have no idea why the first game was so low key on PS3. It was one of the heights of last generation for me. It's basically an extreme game of soccer... With cars.

Here's a fan made montage of footage from the first game to get more of an idea of what it's like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VesXKpkBb9I


Edit: The title was supposed to say "New Rocket League Announce Trailer"

For us, Rocket League is more than just a sequel — it’s also a chance to improve on the first Battle-Cars in nearly every possible way, including:
Improved physics, faster gameplay, and infinitely better visuals
An all-new Season Mode with unlockable items, multiple arenas, and more
The return of 2-, 3- and 4-player split-screen
More vehicles, new stadiums, and more than 100 customization items
Dedicated gameplay servers
A broadcast-quality replay feature that enables players to create their own custom replays of entire games from any camera angle they want
Even more surprises that we’ll reveal closer to release
But wait, there’s more! We’re also excited to announce that Rocket League will debut on PS4 at the PlayStation Experience this weekend in Las Vegas, December 6 and 7!
Drop by our location at Booth I13 and you’ll be able to enjoy four-player split-screen firsthand, while also earning a shot at winning one of the cool, show-exclusive Rocket League shirts highlighted below.

I remember playing the first one for a bit on the PS3. It was hard but fun in a weird way.

 

[Sojgat]

Not calling this Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars 2: Rocket League was a big missed opportunity.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

this game alone will carry the PS4 its whole life

 

[Icyflamez96]

Not calling this Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars 2: Rocket League was a big missed opportunity.

That's the exact name I suggested to my friend... Lol.

 

[Bloodrage]

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars is one of the best party games ever. Seriously overlooked. Had a blast with friends whenever we'd play it on PS3.

 

[Einbroch]

This trailer for the previous game made it look pretty neat.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

btw, i hope they use the same garage rock band they used for the first one.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Never heard of this... what is this? Soccer with cars? was the 1st one good?

 

[Caesar III]

Looks like the German TV show Auto Ball but with RC cars. Neat. Never heard of the first one but this really looks interesting. This will be a downloadable game and so release at ~ 15 bucks, right?

.....

Spoiler

It was real good tbh

 

[jediyoshi]

Played a bunch of the beta on Steam. Wonder what/if there's any kind of exclusivity.

 

[sn00zer]

This looks really fun

 

[Flunkie]

Let's get some SSARPBC games going tonight on PS3. Whoever is in, add me on PSN: Flunkie44

 

[Mokubba]

After my time with Motorstorm RC, this certainly has my interest.

 

[klodeckel]

Wow, this looks like huge fun!

 

[TheNAC]

The original game was one of the most fun game I have ever played in my life.

Day One.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

This will be brilliant if either the AI is good enough or there's an active MP community.

That being said I'd love a career mode where you can upgrade your cars, make your team, etc.. but I realise that'd probably be expecting too much.

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

So excited. Extreme soccer with cars that have essentially jetpacks. Season mode sounds great, dedicated servers is huge. Also heard they're going to have lots of options of play. Enjoy playing with the cube instead of the ball in that one mini challenge? Play with the cube online then! Or perhaps if you're feeling really insane add a second ball to the mix.


Would be really cool if they had a high gravity stage and low gravity stage just to keep things fresh.

 

[Cess007]

The amount of time i put into SSARPBC was insane; so... i'm hyped!!

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

How in the hell did I never know of this game??

 

[Icyflamez96]

How in the hell did I never know of this game??

I don't know but more people should know of this game. I didn't come to GAF when I played the first one on PS3 a ton or else I would have tried spreading it lol.

 

[Bluforce]

Great!

 

[Dami3N]

yes. football with cars!!
the first game was great!

 

[Ravage]

The best PSN game last gen is getting a sequel. This has been a good day.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I consider Marble Blast Ultra to be the XBLA counterpart of PSASBR

 

[depward]

Played a little on PS3; knew the potential was there but didn't stick with it for some dumb reason.

Won't be the case for the sequel.

 

[Suirrad]

I can not wait!. SARP was easily my most played PS3 game ever.

 

[JaguarCROW]

I am so excited for this game. (And my son is super excited as he is a huge fan of the PS3 predecessor!). I talked to these guys at GDC and they indicated that they are going for a Free + DLC model. I personally just hope they give me a reasonable priced option to buy everything they add to the game (tracks, cars etc).

Can't wait for Spring 2015.

 

[Skittles]

One of the best sports games I played last gen. Online was pretty much dead by the time I got to it though. Hopefully it lasts a lot longer this time

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

One of the best sports games I played last gen. Online was pretty much dead by the time I got to it though. Hopefully it lasts a lot longer this time

It got to a point were the game was only $3, so first if the demo didn't sell my friends then I'd just but it for them anyways so we could play online. Nice thing about games like this is you don't need many people to get online matches going. And if it truly is free to play then that's be great (I have faith in this model, some publishers just don't get it yet).

Oh, and FFS please don't region lock this one!

 

[rafaelr]

The return of 2-, 3- and 4-player split-screen

yes! this will be glorious again!

 

[Ingueferroque]

Never heard of this, but it looks like a spiritual sequel to Wild Wheels on Amiga, uncanny!

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

*sigh* another game for the spreadsheet.....

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Did anyone play this at PSX? I how they got it to 1080p/60.

 

[whiteape]

Beta is online now on PC…

 

[binarymelon]

Hoping this one hits PS+ on release, just to expose it to as many people as possible. The first game was terrific, but just never saw much of a community.

 

[whiteape]

Finally…

 

[Jellzy]

It's out?

This game was so addictive (plat on the the first, my god those challenges!!!) it's a shame that it isn't well known.

A little marketing push coming perhaps?

 

[Liberty4all]

Finally…

Omg

I didn't realize it was hitting today. Edit: Is it? I thought it was a summer release. Ahhh mailing list for beta key!!! http://psyonix.com/BC2/Invite/RocketLeagueSignupPS4.php?Keyword=Forums

I put many hours into the original. I sucked but it was a gem of last Gen.

 

[Always-honest]

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars is one of the best party games ever. Seriously overlooked. Had a blast with friends whenever we'd play it on PS3.

that was a fun game.
This trailer however.. i don't know.

 

[whiteape]

It's just the beta, which will start on friday for the big audience!

 

[TheNAC]

Omg yes!

 

[Aucool]

It looks funny as hell, I need it now.

 

[Jellzy]

https://www.facebook.com/RocketLeague?fref=nf

One of the developers is on the KindaFunnyGames stream so no doubt worth a watch if you're interested.

Also there are recent interviews linked on their facebook page but not a lot of new details.

 

[Liberty4all]

Just wanted to repeat they may be giving out beta keys shortly sign up just went up 2 days ago http://psyonix.com/BC2/Invite/RocketLeagueSignupPS4.php?Keyword=Forums

Looks like they may only be accepting members from their official forum though ... Although it does say more keys on Friday

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Played the first game on ps3 and a lot of the beta on PC. This game is amazing with friends, such a great party game.

 

[93xfan]

I could see this being a ton of fun.

 

[Liberty4all]

I could see this being a ton of fun.

If its anything like the original it is.

 

[whiteape]

Judging by the alpha it's even better than SARPBC.
