Starting from this month, they changed it to a Tuesday release for both EU and NA. That and the game is being released at midnight at every timezone. So you'll play it sooner than you think

Going with the early NZ thing for now I guess. Can't wait longer than a day for PC version to release.

There was mutators in thebalpha on PCbut they took them out of the beta. I suppose something like that can be brought back if they choose to. I mentioned them adding minigames online or some of the odd rules like the inability to cross half court. At least to test out how viable it would be online.
War Thunder is cross platform between PS4 and PC isn't it?
I used it, didn't have a problem. Saw someone who said was from the US who also didn't have a problem. I'm guessing NZ doesn't have a strict control on that... lol
I will do the same thing <3

Yeah, no problem here likely because they didn't actually attempt to charge me for anything. This didn't work when I tried doing it with Destiny and actually having to pay for it iirc
Almost finished too. You ready? Only going to be so many of us online.
Seems like, can't think of many others though. I'm interested to see how smooth this all goes considering cross-play is seemingly going to be a bigger thing this generation.
I remember trying Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars and my impressions was that it was really, really, really difficult to get into. Most of my attempts made me look like a idiot on the field when playing online, fumbling with the ball and shooting it the wrong way the moments I actually finally hit the thing. I think the teams I played on hated me.
I am interested, but I felt the game was really hostile to anyone new trying (might be that I was really late into the game). I take it this is the same game? Is there some mode to try and get into the game/get help actually knowing how to play?

Tomorrow baby! Been looking forward to this.
This game is incredibly easy to pick up and play. It has a lot of depth though so it can take some time to master. It's the perfect balance.
There is also a tutorial to pick up the basics. I jumped right into a game when I tried it and completely bypassed the tutorial. Didn't have any problems. The aerial stuff is what will really take time to master.
God I'm glad that NZ loophole was found. I am so pumped for tonight now.
Just remember for anyone doing this: Save files don't always carry over per region. We might be fine in Europe as it's technically the same region with the way they operate, but you may find that you have to re-download the US version and lose your unlocks. Small price to pay for a day early though!

Rocket League is easier. I believe it's slower than SARPBC, and there will be a much bigger audience of varying skill levels.
The people that played SARPBC after a while were diehards
Considering 99% of people playing this week are going to be new as well, I'm guessing if you want to get into it, there would never be a better time than now. It's always harder to dive into games when they're old and have established communities who have been playing for years.
I'll keep an eye on it then when its released on Steam, thank you.
For WT it's pretty smooth - FFXIV is good too though I only used the console version while solo or in lower level dungeons.
But likewise - I'm interested in how it all works. Like can my Steam friends add me easily if I'm on PS4 etc

You could always do this with a game
As soon as it was out somewhere, it was out everywhere haha
I literally have no more emails to use from making various accounts on other regions
I see, that's cool that they are aware of the potential.

THAT'S the name I know and love! Can't wait..
They can't at all at launch. They're looking into a way to make cross-play private matches work.

I hope they go with my dodgeball idea:
-A 4v4 mode where scoring a goal sidelines a random enemy player. Sidelined players can be brought back if their team scores (creating a tug of war).
-Sidelined players can spectate (requires them to add in a spectate feature). First team to eliminate the enemy team wins, or whoever has more teammates alive when time runs out wins.
-When a new round starts (after scoring the goal), the disadvantaged team is given closer proximity to the ball/possession to keep things fair
Ah ok, thanks
Can add my video to the OP if you want... my highlights from the beta. Might give people a little taste of a more advanced style play. Grinchy had some good ones too.

So from what I gather, you can't create a party to play in ranked modes, but you can for unranked? A bit odd in my opinion. Don't think I want to play with randoms for ranked.
I'm surprised that there are 8 modes at launch. I guess PS+ and cross play will really keep them all populated, because I imagine it'd be hard to find matches for some of them otherwise.
Personally, I think 3v3 and 2v2 is just perfect for ranked. Those modes are soooo good.

Does anyone know how the cross platform play works in terms of playing with friends? Is it easy for someone on PS4 to group up with someone on PC?
You can't. They're looking into a way to make it work.
If that's true, I can see why it would make sense. The ranked mode is supposed to match you with people of the same skill, so if you went in with a group and one of your party was new yet the rest are all very high level it'd either not know what to do, or go by an average skill which might put you with people much worse than you.
It's not ideal, but I can see the thinking.
As for the modes, you can tick several while searching at least, so you shouldn't struggle too much to find a game.

That sucks. Oh well, I'm more than happy buying a PC copy to support Psyonix.

I apologise on behalf of the SARPBC community if people were dicks. Most of us loved new players, as we spent so much time trying to preach the gospel of the game.
