In-Depth with the AquaDome Update



Surprise! Your next Rocket League update is coming October 4!

We know that this is probably coming a lot sooner than you expected -- especially since we're just a few weeks removed from our Rumble update earlier in the month -- but if it's ready to go, it's ready to go!

AquaDome - What You Already Know

We have new information regarding next week's patch in the paragraphs below, but the stuff you already know about is still pretty exciting. The AquaDome itself is a brand new Arena that takes place in a gorgeous underwater location. It's FREE for all players on all platforms and is built around Rocket League's traditional pitch layout. Here's the trailer for proof!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUVaV8ZGVbQ
You might have noticed that we've added two new ocean-themed premium DLC cars to the mix as well. Better known as Triton and Proteus, these two new rides are some of the most visually-unique vehicles we've ever created. Check them out for yourselves on October 4 for USD $1.99 per car or regional equivalent.

Free Redesigns for Two Classic Battle-Cars

We're actively looking for new ways to improve Rocket League with every release and in AquaDome, this comes in the form of upgraded visual designs for both Road Hog and Hotshot. To be honest, we've wanted to streamline the look of these car for quite some time now and we're glad that we're finally able to replace the old models with new ones. Don't worry about those hitboxes or turning radii, they'll remain exactly the same!



New Achievements and Trophies

You've been asking us to add even more Trophies and Achievements to Rocket League, so we've added seven more in our next update. Here's the complete list:

  • GG - Win the MVP award in a game that goes to overtime
  • Trifecta - Score a Goal, Save a shot, and Assist a teammate in a single game
  • Infinite Power! - Activate every power-up in Rocket League Rumble
  • Stopped Cold - Freeze an opponent's shot before it can score
  • Sea Turtle - Head to AquaDome and score a goal while flipped on your back
  • Get Up, Mr. Bubbles! - Equip the Bubbles Rocket Trail and Score an Aerial goal, while playing in AquaDome
  • Rocket Genocider - Make 535 Shots on Goal

Champion Series III Crate

Our Champion Series continues with all-new exclusive Garage items to help fund our esports initiative! Use your Keys for a chance to unlock the seriously-awesome Import version of the Breakout Battle-Car (aka "Type-S") and never-before-seen animated Exotic Wheels, Import Rocket Trails, Very Rare animated Decals, and lots, lots more.

We don't want to reveal too much about the contents of the new Champions Series III Crate, of course, as these things are usually best left as surprises. If you can't wait until October 4 to find out, though, you can check out some of the items mentioned above on our official AquaDome landing page.

New Free Item Drops

As with every major update, AquaDome includes several free Garage items to go along with everything else, and we've added an ocean's worth of dazzling new Painted Wheels for this installment, in addition to some new Antennas, Rocket Trailers, a Topper, and more! We've even added the long-requested RLCS flag to the Community folder as League Play heats up!

Summation

Those are the headline items for the AquaDome update, but we have a few more goodies not mentioned here. Be sure and check out the complete patch notes for all information on release day, October 4.

SteamOS and Mac Beta Versions
As of September 8, 2016, the SteamOS and Mac versions of Rocket League® were released to "Beta." SteamOS is the only "officially" supported Linux client, though other Linux platforms may be compatible. Likewise, the Mac version may or may not work on older systems with an integrated video solution and a dedicated GPU is highly recommended (Macs from 2013 or after should be okay). Mac system requirements are as follows:

  • Processor: Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: OpenGL 4.1 - ATI Radeon HD 5670, NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M, Intel HD Graphics 4000 or Iris Pro Graphics

Be sure and check ongoing patch notes for SteamOS and Mac beta updates going forward. Listed below are all known issues for both versions of the game as of September 8, 2016:

  • The correct store page for DLC purchased through the Showroom doesn’t show up for Big Picture users. This is a Steam client-specific issue that Valve will be fixing in an upcoming patch
  • There are occasional crashes when exiting from a match to the main menu
  • The statues in Urban Central do not display correctly
  • You may experience intermittent blurring issues
  • (Mac Only) Xbox 360 controllers won’t work. You will need a third-party driver solution to use them

You think you don't like games with simple ideas and gameplay? Think again.
You think you are too good to drive toy cars and hit balls with them? Think again.
You think you are too much of an "Intellectual Gamer" to play this simple game? Think again.

You think you have friends? Think again.
You think you have time for your family? Think again.
You think you have time to study? Think again.

If your parents don't know or fully understand the concept of not being able to pause an online game, then I have some bad news for you.

Seriusly, can a game be flawless? F**k yeah it can! From the gameplay to the soundtrack, you will love every bit of this game. Rocket league is also one of the very few games to be an officially sponsored E-sport shortly after it's release.

Solid 10/10.

This is my experience after playing the game for the first time with a friend:

- got game, made party, got into a casual 2v2 match
- 2 a.m., window wide open - forgot
- start match
- 30 minutes of rage/joy/fun/screaming
- someone starts bashing on my front door
- figure it's downstairs neighbour
- go silent, ignore
- still bashing
- still silent/ignore
- almost breaks down my door
- have to open, see who it is
- see cops, jail imminent
- panic
- open door, act nice
- cop says he heard me down on the street in his car with his windows closed
- start ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥tting him, I say the neighbour usually warns me first before calling the cops
- cop says it wasn't the downstairs neighbour who called, but the one in the BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET
- almost start laughing
- cop asks WTF was I doing
- start ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥tting him again
- he asks why I have the window open
- say I totally forgot
- he asks: "What game are you playing?"
- he knows.
- I ask: "Is that a serious question?"
- he says: "Don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t me, I've been a gamer for 15 years - what game?"
- I say: "Rocket League."
- he gives me a slight smile/nod of approval/understanding
- HE KNOWS.
- gives me back my ID: "Keep the noise down, goodnight."

911/10 would be arrested again.

A really fun and addicting game, that is easy to get into but hard to master. I wish I had played this when released already :), but better later than never :D. A game about cars flying mindlessly after a ball. I've played around 25h and still have so much to get better at lol, like doing high flying or wall jumps.
I've been playing football and racing games for many times and this is different in a cool way. Lots of skin customizations for your cars, ranks, awesome OST and different game modes. Most enjoyable to play with friends <(^_^)>.

The matchmaking sometimes adds pretty high ranked opponents. It's good practice though to play against those.
Recommended for everyone :D.

Playing ranked. Meet a guy called Pynz.

We win 13-1. We add each other on steam.

Join party and go on a 8 game win streak, then we hit a 6 game lose streak. (luck)

Best game ever. Only if you are lucky.

Car soccer. What a time to be alive.

It's a fantastic game. It's such a unique experience, and it's unfortunate that I never really took the time to play SARPBC. Apart from any game I have owned, it is a competitive multi-platform sports game that you will have copious amounts of fun playing -- Whether you're on winning OR losing team.

This game has seen a lot of negative feedback lately due to the crate system being introduced. Personally, I never really liked the idea of it, but do keep in mind, there is absolutely no Steam Community Market, which probably would have killed it for me.

Keys to unlock crates are $1.49, and the crates seem to drop fairly often. If nothing else, it's an OK way to fund further development of the game and increase prize pools for RLCS.
Those of you that are just SO upset with Psyonix about crates, and threaten to uninstall-
C'mon. We really got the best flavor of sh*t sandwich here, if sh*t has to be eaten.
The animated decals and wheels are pretty darn sweet.

Warning to all:
Part of the community and certain individuals that you will meet can be VERY toxic and degrading in online matches.
That's pretty much the internet for you, but I feel that it stems from something more specific;
A lot of CS:GO diehards play this on the side with their clanmates, and that kind of mentality leaks in to this game due to the competitive nature.

In closing..

Bring some friends, keep your ballchasing to a minimum, and dive in to this game.
Prepare for a wild learning curve and a boatload of fun.

Intro:

Rocket League is a sequel to the less-known vehicular football video game Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars developed and published by Psyonix. The game was first released in July 2015 for PC and PS4 and got a Xbox One version earlier this year. There are an OS X and Linux versions planned to be released this year. A lot of people (myself included) had never heard of SARPBC until they tried Rocket League out.


Base Concept:

The base concept for this game as simple as it gets: combine football with cars and try to defeat the opponent team. The idea sounds pretty simple and many would think that it will be easier to play than actual football games such as FIFA or PES. If you are one of those people, then you're suddenly mistaken.

The game is easy to understand but often you'll end up having to put effort into it in order to succeed. It is challenging and usually you will have to fly in air in order to get or shoot the ball. You are awarded XP points which are assigned to you after the end of every match. Those XP points are the ones that make you actually "level up" in the game. There are 2 different types of ranks: normal and competitive ones. Normal ones are gathered by levelling up while the competitive ranks are gathered by playing the competitive game modes.


Gameplay:

The game consists of a couple game modes: standard football ones, basketball (named Hoops) and the chaotic Rumble mode that features around 10 special items you can use to give yourself the advantage while your team has the possession of the ball. Due to the arenas being not as big as they are in real life, having 22 players chasing 1 ball would be, to say the least, too chaotic. For that sake, Psyonix decided to restrict teams to a maximum of four players per team.

Matches consisting of 1 to 3 cars are optimal ones while the ones featuring 4 cars per team are, although no less entertaining, reasonably marked as "Chaos". Then there are the Hoops and Rumble game modes, first of which is basically basketball combined with cars while the second one represents the already known combination of football and cars, this time with some special effects and items which can help you to score some goals.

The game surely is entertaining and even if you were never a fan of either football or racing, this game may take your interest. The game has some collision model problems (not really bugs, but just unoptimized car collisions) which can be noticed in goal replays. Sometimes, you can clearly see the ball flying away even though visually, you didn't actually hit it. That is not a very big problem, though, and it happens only when your car's front is supposed to hit the ball.

On the keyboard, the controls feel great and are just like you'd expect them to be. The game features boost pickups which you can use to temporarily speed up your car or for flying like a rocket (obviously representing the name of the game itself). Sadly, the matchmaking is not very optimized and from time to time, a "semi-pro" or a "pro" ranked player will have to play against an "expert" or even a "master". That is, of course, not fair.

Would be a bad thing to forget the car customization. While Rocket League doesn't support modding, you can customize your cars with tons of different body colors, wheels, trails, antennas and items to put on the top of your car (literally hats for cars).

Visuals:

Rocket League is running on the Unreal Engine 3. Its visuals are colorful and look simply beautiful. The arenas are filled with different colors (mostly the team colors) and some of them even have country flags hanging around them. All the arenas (excluding the rocket labs) have similar layouts and a pretty unique theme.

The 3D main menu is set in one of the arenas and you can rotate the camera to see different angles of your car which is very helpful especially when it comes to car customization. There are tons of different options that can improve the effects in-game or the actual game experience.


Verdict:

This game is a really awesome example of how an interesting combination of 2 totally different things with great execution can be strong and not require tons of features in order to get players return to it on a daily basis. With over 50K players on a daily basis, this game promises to bring you a lot of fun, excitement and even anger. It's one of those games that are really easy to learn and understand, but very difficult to master. If you do have some time and are looking for a way to burn hours in which you are bored, this is the right thing to go for.

The matchmaking needs optimization and there are some features (such as demolishing other players) that are very often (ab)used by other players for the sake of preventing you of defending or scoring, or how many people like to call it - dirty playing.

Holy ♥♥♥♥ is this game insanely fun and addictive. If you are a competitive player in any way and enjjoy seeing noticeable improvements to your play then this is an absolute must buy. It may seem like a simple game however the amount of mechanics available to master means that you are constantly improving.

You will start out just trying to learn how to hit the ball consistently. Then once you master that you start trying to learn how to aim your shots. Then you start learning how to powerslide and fly. Once you get flying down pretty good you learn how to air roll to fine tune your aerials. Then you learn how to power shot, defend the net, rotate effectively as a team, block 50/50 hits. The list goes on and on. A lot of the mechanics build off of each other so once you learn one you can begin learning the next. As you master each one it becomes muscle memory allowing you to work on the next. It is an amazing feeling once you start connecting mechanics that you learn together.

Then you have the casual side of Rocket League. Thanks to game modes like Rumble even complete noobs have a blast and are able to contribute. This game truly is one of the best games you could possibly buy and it is so incredibly cheap.
