Support NeoGAF

[Moobabe]

But can I party up with my buddies on Steam? Or just get matched against people?

 

[Genio88]

This is one of my most anticipated Switch game coming, i already played 200hours on PC but hey, gonna love it on Switch even more!

 

[Kovacs]

And with this, pretty much my last reason for retaining PSPlus has gone.

Good on the devs for listening to the feedback and seeing that there is an audience for it.

You should be able to play with your Steam buddies, no problem. That's the best part about all of this.

I have 1600+ hours on PC. Still super-excited about this. Now I never have to part with Rocket League, since I can take it anywhere. Nintendo is killing it!!

 

[Head.spawn]

Cross-Plat with Xbox and Steam confirmed:

"You asked, and we listened! As we just revealed during the Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 Direct video, Rocket League is indeed coming to Nintendo Switch later this year!

Rocket League on Nintendo Switch will have all of the same content, features, and updates that we've released on other platforms in addition to exclusive Battle-Cars and Customization Items, like Mario and Luigi hat Toppers!

Rocket League will also support all of Nintendo Switch's play modes, including TV Mode (docked), Tabletop Mode, Handheld Mode, and both Online and Local Multiplayer. Online Multiplayer supports up to eight players, and Cross-Network play will be supported as well, allowing Switch players to hit the field with players on Steam and Xbox One."

The more the merrier.

Now maybe they'll sing kumbaya and put Banjo in Smash.

 

[Savinowned]

Holy crap. They did it. Have we ever seen a Nintendo game announced with freaking cross-platform play??!?!

 

[bender]

The bigger the player base, the better. Nearing 10,000 matches played. I'll pick this up to support Psyonix and to check out the new hats and cars but I can't imagine spending much time on it as it would be hard to start over from a stat tracking and unlockable standpoint. My hope is that Psyonix figures out a way to make these universal across platforms (maybe their own account system that can tie to your platform accounts).

Just got it with Minecraft on Sunday as well, but technically it was Microsoft announcing it.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

Nintendo should really consider releasing a LTE/5G Switch.

Since Rocket League's AI isn't ridiculously terrible, it should still be fun playing seasons on the go when you're bored but online whenever you want would be amazing.

 

[AgentOtaku]

And now, I'll FINALLY own Rocket League..... kept putting off getting into it but no more!

 

[JetSetRadio]

Expect some pretty rough performance looking at xbox one.

I understand - I also have a lot invested on my Steam account. But the ability to practice aerials even when I travel? Yes please!

Judging by the footage, im sure they'll just lock it at 30fps, which is fine by me

There are no cross platform invites assuming they aren't creating some Rocket League ID that people will sign up for.

 

[Raide]

Xbox Vs Switch....let's go!!!!

 

[Bluforce]

Love it!

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I have well over 1k hours played in RL between PS4 and PC. It'll be hard to go from 144 fps to 30 (I'm assuming) but I'll pick this version up for times when I'm not around my PC. For those of you who haven't tried Rocket League, prepare to experience the greatest multiplayer video game ever created.

Incredibly smart move by Psyonix and Nintendo.

 

[xxbrothawizxx63]

Pls no. 30fps would kill my hype for this version.

Xbox level drops are fine, but this needs to target 60fps like every other version. I hope this is a priority. I'd much rather it look noticeably worse than other versions and maintain the performance target.

 

[GTSweet]

The dream right there.

 

[marc^o^]

Now this is amazing. Major addition to Switch's library.

 

[Savinowned]

Please go for lower resolution to hit 60fps Psyonix... Please.

 

[bender]

I understand - I also have a lot invested on my Steam account. But the ability to practice aerials even when I travel? Yes please!

Portable training will be great.

 

[t hicks]

Been wanting this since the Switch released.... I am extremely stoked to say the least!

 

[MutFox]

60fps is needed for this game.
It's possible, the game is very scalable on PC.
Just depends how pretty you want it to look.

With my old gpu, I'd turn off everything/lowres just to have a stable framerate.

 

[Peltz]

This was the biggest announcement of the show for me other than MP4. I fucking LOVE Rocket League and will gladly double dip on a Switch version.

60fps please. I don't care how ugly it looks.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Holy shit! The absolute perfect game for the Switch, and cross-platform play with MS and PC (c'mon Sony, stop being so stingy!) NYESSSSSS!

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

If it was up to my I'd much prefer lower graphics for 60 fps. Accuracy and precision are everything in this game.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

So we're likely not going to be able to party up on our Switch with our Xbox and PC friends. Just like i cant party up with my PS4 or PC friends when im playing on the opposite. Or can we?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wow, XB1 crossplay. That's crazy.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

In. My first owned copy of RL, and I can play with my friend on XB1 and my friend on PC. Fortunately none of my friends play on PS4 so their continued shiftiness about cross play doesn't affect me here.

Great news!

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Now maybe they'll sing kumbaya and put Banjo in Smash.

I'd do that deal if I can get Samus in Killer Instinct.

 

[Calm Mind]

With every new crossplay game brings yet another chink in Sony's once impenetrable armor.

 

[CountAntonius]

There is no crossplatform party system. Just matchmaking and private lobbies.

No way Psyonix goes for 30 fps. They have always aimed for 60 on RL.

 

[Kyzon]

I'm gonna jump into this game for the first time on Switch now!

 

[Kolma]

Own this already on PS4 (PS+) and PC.

Time to Triple Dip on the Switch

 

[yrba1]

IT'S A GAOLL

 

[aygomyownroad]

Will double dip so hard.

Hope amibos will allow to have different objects etc

 

[PSqueak]

Yes!

This and minecraft are setting a superb precedent, i hope more more and more companies get on this.

Sony you better get on this goodness too, goddammit!

 

[Woltaire]

yep ps4 and pc, and xb1 and pc. psyonix wanted to bring everyone together, but sony's bein a lil bitch

ps4 and xbox versions both have crossplay with steam but not each other. Psyonix has said before they have done the work to enable xbox/ps4 crossplay but Sony hasn't allowed it

Ohh, thanks for the clarification.

 

[NimbusD]

No release date right?

 

[The Artisan]

funny how the cross play thread blew up faster than this one

 

[Cuburt]

Probably won't happen (especially since I believe the PSVita 3G was poorly received) but you can always use your phone as a Wifi hotspot.

 

[ASaiyan]

Physical preorder up on Amazon.

Either that price is a placeholder, or someone at Psyionix has absolutely lost their mind.

 

[VoltrefferNL]

It kinda looked ruff. Happy to be surprised.

It was limited to AT&T. When it was announced there was a HUGE upset

That Nintendo tax. Lol. Has to be a place holder.

 

[Falchion]

So cool, especially getting to play with Xbox and Steam players.

 

[th3sicknness]

I wonder how they will work around the switch not having analog triggers?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Definitely double dipping. Got the Xbox One version but I need this portable.
