You haven't understood why people are mad about Blast Ball in the first place.

New page.
I haven't seen great team play but these are the two best players in the game 1v1. The way these guys manipulate their cars for shots and saves is awesome to watch. How they set up their shots etc. When we get to see a 3 v 3 with players of this caliber this game is going to be great to watch.

Is this a thought that passed through a living human being's head?

I didn't post this to insult anybody. It was a honest question. Sorry if I offended some people.
My bad, must've just been something that looked similar.
Because they're different things...?
If they honestly didn't attach the name "metroid" to blast ball, I'm sure you'd see many of the people that were very negative on the game either like it or just plain not make a big deal about the game. The fact that nintendo is basically going "well people wanted a metroid game, we gave it to them" doesn't help the matter.
Now what would be something similar is that if Sony, at the press conference, announced that they're releasing Wipeout:Rocket League or a little more fittingly Motorstorm:Rocket League you'd have pissed off reactions too from fans of those series.
Edit:
Yeah this would have the biggest reaction.

The gameplay is maybe not the same but the concept is: taking a genre (like racing or fps) and making a sport game out of it.
I found that "twist" in gaming to be very interesting.

Fair enough. Again, it was a honest question. Didn't want to pissed anyone.

The PS3 game that came before this was on PS+ way back when I think I remember reading. This is the sequel.

in another thread yes, the one that get us the release date. someone claimed OT duties there
Can't shove the OT up until day of launch, unless.you mean the titles, in which case that was discussed in the Rocket League thread prior to the Plus announfement!
Just wanted to do a minor correction and say that neither player in those videos is a Psyonix Dev. They're "just" the #1 (Kronovi) and #2 (Gibbs) players at the end of the beta.
On the topic of high level play though, this video should demonstrate some pretty high level play. It features a number of high ranked players in a Reddit Tournament that happened during the second Beta, and these games were dubbed some of the best, especially from the second game on. (This was a Best of 3). I'm sure there will be even higher level play as teams play, practice and improve, but I think this is a very good match to watch.

I don't think many people got offended, so you don't really have to apologize (although it's nice that you do). It's just that you are wasting time thinking about a question that may not even be justified. If no people holding both of these opinions exist, then thinking about why these non-existent people hold these opinions would be a waste of time. Also, the question comes off as a bit hostile, so there is a high risk it doesn't really generate fruitful discussions, which would be counter-productive if you're genuinely curious.
A better way to have formulated the question would have been something like: "how come Federation Force generates so much hostility, while this game instead seems to have generated a fair bit of excitement? Please explain, because they look quite similar to me."
There isn't really a lot of videos showing off great team work. This video might have some. If you want to see some very high level play, with some team goals, it doesn't get better than this one. Some of the top players also have preview copies and are streaming on Twitch every day, if you want to watch some great play.
Since others are posting their highlights I figure I can share my awesomeness as well

Thanks. Fixed.
Great vids. I'm on the first one and it's interesting to see his style of defense. Stays back and grabs all the boosts mostly.

You're right. The wait you formulated my question is way better and is closer to what I wanted to say. Thanks.
To be fair that's the majority of official topics for games and their betas, circle jerk heavens and people pile on those who don't subscribe to their little rainbow and unicorn parades.
That said, you are probably right about this one, because the first game was an unsung classic.

When crossplay private matches are functioning we need to get a PC vs. PS4 Gaf tourney going.

Don't worry, I got you covered
Why bother having a tournament? Just give yourself the trophy and save us all the headache lol
Hey I'm not the one who's on all the hype gifs that have been shown around... x)

Holy shit at the ending in that first video. Literally a millisecond away from a last gasp equaliser. Goddamn this game.

We might as well come clean and tell everyone that you used to play on my account.

There are some nice goals in that video.

Most sports would be so much more interesting if they took place in flying physics-defying cars.
edit:
wow
What the hell is this even?

I'm not sure I understand what relevance the two have to one another?
That'd explain it.

Good thing we're allergic.. otherwise we would dominate the sport and we would hear from everyone how curling is a "real" sport.

Please tell me you aren't serious. You're not doing your country any favours here.
But to be fair neither was the guy you were quoting.

Not really serious. It's all good.
I was just having a little fun but after re-reading my post, it does come as a little douchey. Apologies.
The game looks like fun and I can't wait to grab it on Tuesday. I am personally terrible at driving games so it being a PSPlus game is great. I would've never bought it otherwise.
