Psyonix evaluating whether or not to bring Rocket League to Switch
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
If only there were an open world game that just came out that had a complicated physics system underlying all interactions in the game world. On where you could push boulders down mountains or cut trees and watch them realistically tumble and roll on the ground.
Hmmmm....
that's the joke
? There are millions upon millions of Xbox Ones out there, with an active and relatively reliable online userbase. Whatever snide remark you're attempting seems utterly pointless.

You can't? Really? Rocket League is massively popular, and I can absolutely see it interesting fans who like car-racing/competitive sport crossover games like Mario Kart.
I mean I have played 100 hours of it on PC, I'd buy it on Switch day 1.

Would be a great Switch game.
I'd definitely triple dip if it were to release by the time I buy a Switch.

I might too. But you sadly never know with Nintendo. This should be a lock deal.

It's one of those cases where Nintendo should definitely push for a switch version before it's too late.
But they won't. You'll get a port at the end of the cycle.
Same thing with Minecraft.

Well if they do it I will gladly triple-dip! 
To add to this, I had a boulder-puzzle in a shrine where I accidentally used the motion-controls to fire the boulder out-of-bounds, it then bounced off the ceiling and wall right into where it should go, I was flabbergasted and in awe o.o

We want it.
Give it to us.
Please.
Give it to us.
Please.
Sorry? But isn't that one of the main reasons to get a Switch?
Allowing even? WoW.. Switch Master Race much?

The game needs crossplatform or it will die on it's own island. For cross platform to be a thing they absolute must require a traditional controller layout. Nobody wants to be in ranked with someone trying to play on a single joycon.
This is a platform holder issue. They don't want you buying stuff on Steam and using it on PSN for instance. Some games like Smite had a limited one time transfer.

What time is it?
I know. It just kills my desire to double dip or play on other platforms since I can't have my customization or stat tracking.

Can it even run?
LOL so we are pretending RL is a taxing game now?
People play on the PC with a keyboard. It works fine. (it's not perfect, but it's fine).
I'd be interested in them trying up/down on the analogue stick for accell but, I think that would break the spinning when you're in the air, right?
but I don't see performance being an issue, at all. and the controls can work fine, same as any racing game before we had analog

What does this even mean? Hell the Wii U had Call of Duty and Fifa games with online play as well as at least one title that supported cross platform play. I don't think Rocket League requires any special, esoteric online considerations.

No joke, I would love to play a quick game of rocket league while my food is heating up

Do it, it'll be funny.
"This is a community based game." That's good to know Psyonix. I'm a big member of said community. My 4-year-old wears a RL shirt, so do I. I wear a RL hat all the time. I own the game on all 3 platforms.
I could have been cheap and taken the free PS Plus version and played it until now without buying many DLC cars and multiple copies of the game. I didn't because I wanted to support your vision. I could've scoffed and stopped playing when you introduced loot boxes, but instead I paid for keys, not because I care about the cosmetics, but because I was supporting Psyonix and want this game to last as long as possible.
Put this on Switch please. All I have is Zelda, and once that gets boring, I need to feel the rush of scoring an aerial goal in OT while simultaneously pinching a loaf. I want to let my family watch tv once in a while instead of hogging it to play RL, and what better way than at 60fps at 720p on that fantastic little screen. Do it for the community guys.

Is there a poll yet? I on mobile so I can't tell.
Options should be: no, yes (never played before but interested), yes ( already own, but will double/triple dip),
I think the only challenge is the lack of analogue triggers. I am pretty sure the Switch can handle the graphics.
I've been saying this since it was first unveiled. The Switch is the first "viral" console and it needs equally viral games like those 2.
I don't know about the backstage, but I believe they are aware of how important those games are.
I get that Zelda needed the spotlight for itself, but I believe now that people are finishing the game they should throw some hints of things that are yet to come, not only from them, but from outside.

Do you mean that if could run only at 720p they should not do it? And if so, why?
I'd buy it. I don't have PS4 or bone (don't have a tv in my life anymore, simplified my life and possessions a few years back). I played it on my friends playstation and it was pretty awesome. I'm sure there is a market for an awesome game on a great system like the Switch. A lot of other people in this thread have said they'd get it too.

I would triple dip on this in a second.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo allowed a few games to have cross platform play on the Wii U and 3DS so I'm guessing they'll probably allow it on the Switch but you never know.

Support in development; ease of porting; cost of porting; promised promotion; central place in online store are all factors. These factors aren't widely available on Nintendo consoles
False.
There was a chessgame that had crossplay with Ps4.

i'd love it on switch but i think you'd need to be able to play with another platform. either PS4 or PC would be cool.
I wanna believe its a changing culture at Nintendo ....but I see this happening.
