    Epic bought what they clearly think is a "finished product". The priority now is keeping the game monetised, and working on the spinoff stuff (E.G Rocket Racing) that they evidently had prior ideas for.
    They are happy to let the game die off. They have a lot of years worth of hard work, cosmetic items, etc. That they can now use to add more content to Fortnite, which is and always will be their main priority. They didn't buy rocket league to make it better, and I highly doubt rocket league will ever be "improved" again. It's the sad truth, but realistically they don't care. The core playerbase and people who truly love the game will keep playing. The game is still the same, and there's hardly an alternative to rocket league.

      I highly doubt Psyonix has zero control over their game. Regardless of all of Epic's faults regarding RL (Rocket Racing staff reallocations, trading removal, and the whole "item shop" debacle, which would have happened regardless of Epic Games), Psyonix has continually dropped the ball as a company. Poor communication and lazy content nobody really wants are core issues, both of which are (IMO) hardly caused by Epic. All Epic cares about is money, so why is Rocket League not pumping out actually cool cosmetic items that Fortnite players will buy? I highly doubt the percentage of players looking through the battle pass and thinking "these cosmetics are awesome" is larger than the percentage looking through and only liking 1-2 things from it.
      It genuinely feels like Psyonix has just become lazy. That may be caused by Epic, but I imagine what they'd be doing if they didn't get bought out would be the exact same as they are now. In the end, this game cannot really be kept fresh. You can't touch the core feel of the game, and nobody really enjoys the LTMs they make.
      All I see in regards to suggestions from the community are:
      - Lethamyr modes added (niche at most, little longevity)
      - UE5 (would not change anything outside of how the game looks, would take immense manpower to port)
      The only real change I could think of is either a complete revamp of core mechanics (which would risk their entire player base leaving) or better training options. The latter is doable but wouldn't do much in terms of saving this game.
      The core focus of this game has always been soccar. They can't change anything about the gameplay, so new content is essentially cursed to be either cosmetic items or new maps. People will always get sick of that eventually, so the longevity of this game is almost entirely dependent on the experience of improving.

      @zebraslegendyt 개월 전 +7

      @bailey29 For half a decade (I believe) we never had these issues with Psyonix. They always kept the game fresh, and found new and exciting things to add and innovate.
      I understand that there is only so much you can do with the game, but that doesn't mean you abandon it and still pretend to the players like you care.
      It is not a coincidence that things got boring, repetitive, and lazy once Epic bought rocket league. As Rizzo said, some of the developers were likely laid off - and others likely pulled away to other projects (including rocket racing).
      Simply put, Epic just want rocket league as an asset. They are neglecting the game, and they do not care about improving it.

    • @bailey29
      @bailey29 개월 전 +2

      ​@@zebraslegendytYou have a point with Psyonix keeping things fresh - that doesn't mean it was good. Having maps like overpass and wasteland in comp were fresh, but weren't good imo. Spamming new cosmetics via an in-game gambling system was not good (but was fun).
      I think I, as well as most people look back at pre-epic RL with rose tinted glasses. If they added something like overpass into the game now people would be outraged; Psyonix is kind of in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation. They would have to think of genuine improvements for the game to actually appease the mob.
      There are definitely changes they can make to improve UX, but in terms of internal gameplay changes they would likely be met with disdain. Imagine if they made each car model handle differently; octanes move 1.5x faster in the air but use more boost, merc's can carry 200 boost but are slower in general, etc. The community would hate this.
      This game has never really been "fresh" imo, especially looking back at when I would have considered it "fresh". I do agree with a point rizzo makes in this video, the extra gamemodes absolutely need to be messed with and completely changed each season. This would probably be the only reasonable way they could try and keep the game fresh, but I genuinely just don't think they have the manpower to do it anymore.
      I will admit that obviously epic acquiring psyonix was a net negative for the game. However, it also made the game free-to-play, and exposed it to millions of people. I think that also contributes to Psyonix's cosmetic focus as people don't have to spend money to play anymore. In my opinion people attribute the issues Psyonix is having to Epic games too much. I don't personally think Epic has any obligation to make RL a better game, everybody knows why they bought it and to expect them to do otherwise doesn't make sense in a business sense.

    at this point I feel like it's almost the responsibility of the community to give a shitton of money to the bakkesmod teams so they can turn rocket league into something like garrys mod or minecraft with self hosted servers with your own mods and plugins and whatnot, bc that's the only way I see this game surviving.

    I personally think the game started going downhill with going free-to-play and removing the game from Steam.
    But it's so disappointing. It's so disappointing that awesome games like Overwatch, Destiny 2, and now Rocket League just fizzle out because of executives misunderstanding their fanbase. They're struggling to do what games like Runescape figured out more than a decade ago.

      I think F2P was a fine choice, it gave the game lots of new players including me! They just didn't use it to their advantage AT ALL like Mew said. The only thing they did was monetize the hell out of the game and eventually try to convert people to their main cash cow Fortnite. If RL was still owned by Psyonix and they went F2P, the game would be in a totally different spot.

    • @Olliecksdee
      @Olliecksdee 개월 전 +3

      F2P did wonders for the playerbase from what I've read and Psyonixx wasn't a great dev before that people seem to conveniently forget. What I don't understand is removing the game from Steam, all it does it lessen the outreach of the game to people who only use Epic launcher or know about the game. But this is typical of Tim Sweeney, he's not interested in creating a good product or launcher and using that as a way to incentivize users to use his products, instead he forces them over with timed or permanent exlusives.
      RL is a finished game tbf and I'm not sure what you can really do to the gameplay to make it better but a fully fleshed out creative mode, better training maps, Esports spectating would be nice and I imagine that would be possible with UE5. Just sad to see another game not get the support it deserves like you said.

    I can add some info here as a former dev that worked for an Epic Games subsidiary for 4 years.
    Rocket racing was built using UEFN so it's a natural development to allow people to make their own UEFN maps for RR. They are 100% planning their own metaverse as a chat comment speculated. You buy an item in Rocket leaguie? Nice would you like that item added to rocket racing? How about as a skin in fortnite? Would you like this Fall Guys skin as a playable character in fortnite? Would you like your fortnite skins in rocket league? Yes to all that.
    The comment about if they have to make core changes to the game to add additional features? Absolutely false. I was on the backend services team for fall guys. Any feature that is service oreintated - you can add a feature without having to impact the "core game changes" which I don't even know what core changes would be affected.

    Step 3. Lay-off the majority of the devs, and any good devs get transferred to Fortnite

    To summarize for the mapmaking section. Rocket Racing is in UE5, UEFN is basically a dumbed down version of UE5, nothing close to / nor compatible to the software of UE3/UDK (Rocket League's Software). We've gotten 1 single update about the possibility of UE5 in Rocket League and it was a reddit post 3 years-ish ago I'm pretty sure. But with how Epic wants specifically profit, they would realistically never "waste" such a crazy amount of resources and time to recreate Rocket League. (You have to recode the game ENTIRELY to get Rocket League again because UE3/UDK is not compatible whatsoever with UE5).
    Sucks, but that's what I think personally.

      2. the gameplay: If RL2 is a completly new creation... Do you think it is possible to recreate the physics 1to1 into the new game? Even slight changes, like mikro seconds of a delay, a ball going 0.3° in a different angel of a wall will make it "feel" absolutly unplayable, escpecially for pros. everyone would need to relearn the game.

The game would be a disaster if they went str8 to UE5 without an intermediate step or some really really solid testing. It has to feel just like current rl or people will hate it. They can get more $ too this way w rocket racing and put it towards making RL better. But thats kinda just a dream at this point i feel like.

I don't have much time so I can't climb like I should, so I'm essentially always accidentally smurfing on all these lobbies...

    Allow lobby voice chat to open up during goal replays and call it "toxic mode"
    Let you allow to change your car preset during the goal replay mid game, can also be its own lobby type "hot swap"
    Introduce a new mechanic that lets you have steering on the rear wheels like a monster truck, allowing the crawling, something you could then mix into all the other mechanics.

    Rocket league is just frustrating to play anymore. Every kickoff there’s a huge lag spike(no it’s not my internet it happens every single time there’s a kickoff on any internet I play on) it’s the only game where my controller has a magical stick drift out of no where, and camera swings so that my perspective isn’t centered while on ball cam during the match randomly as well. Not to mention not being able to trade with my friends, it feels the same as it did 3 years ago in every single way except for even more frustrating to play.

    • @effjesse_

      1) I've never experienced that kick off lag unless on the exceptionally rare bad server; if it's not your connection then it's your region; I'm in TX and play east servers at around 60 ping.
      2) your controller is fucked, you need a new one; the drift is a sign that your sticks are worn, you can fix by turning up dead zone but RL is the one game where you *want* sensitivity, so save your allowance and just get another *quality* and *brand new* controller; this is also why your camera does that; also it doesn't happen in other games because other games typically have way higher dead zone on the sticks than RL, again for obvious reasons.
      3) sorry for your experience bro; if I could share my amazing experience with you I would; love this game and have zero complaints and I hope it never changes.

    Idk the only thing that scares me, or maybe gives me hope as well I guess, is that there’s bound to be games that compete with rocket league in the near future not only stylistically but gameplay-wise and competitively. with how long the ue5 update/new game is taking I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a whole new game, like the rumored one 2k is supposedly working on, emerge form the shadows and compete with RL on every level. There will only ever be one rocket league, but it’s not like the core, fast-passed, physics- based rocket car soccer game formula can’t be used elsewhere and done better in a new and innovative way (i.e. palworld taking the Pokémon formula)

    @tylerwillems9358 개월 전

    Seems like the minimal updates are probably due to their lack of inspiration for the game. Rocket League is good as it is, and adding more things for an older game is probably more difficult than adding things for newer titles that have more support and newer software bases. I would guess once Rocket League goes to UE5, we'll start seeing more creative updates, game modes, and things to feel inspired about. I think Rocket Racing was their "test step" in bringing RL to UE5. Basically getting all the resources ready, having a good catch-up point so that when they do release the actual title, everything will be ready to go for a more seamless transfer for players to the game. I would imagine that to retain all players, they will want the title release to feel more like an update to the current game, rather than being a completely new game that some people will play, and some people will stay away from. Avoiding the community split of players who play the legacy version because it is "better" or something. I imagine it will be released as a completely new piece of software, and legacy RL will likely lose all support when it is out in order to bring over all players to the UE5 version. And from that point, RL will be able to move through new softwares and updates just as Fortnite does. I would also think that Epic plans on seeing a lot of newcomers upon release of the UE5 version, and ideally they'll want to retain those new players. So basically a seamless transfer for current players, and a new game feel for newcomers. Probably a pretty difficult task to achieve perfectly, but that could be why they are taking their time to make the attempt to do it right.

But then score x amount of goals after that for a cool decal for it. And also different challenge goals for some new titles. Like "Score 500 goals for this title called "fill in the blank with some goal scoring oriented title." And make these all permanent. And make them cool enough to keep people engaged. lol.

    I'm still hoping that Rocket Racing was a product they used as a learning tool for UE5, so they'd be able to port RL to UE5 easier, but I get less sure about this season by season. Last season was the first season I skipped entirely, and I won't pay for the current Rocket Pass either. I paid enough money over the last years to expect an actual game update before I spend any more money. Rocket League may not win me back with an update, because there are other great games. I love Trackmania, I do want to play some more Satisfactory, and I haven't player No Man's Sky enough. There are also games like "Light no Fire" and "Ashes of Creation" coming out soon, so if Rocket League doesn't keep itself engaging as an esport, my priorities will shift and my money will go to a game studio that does not belong to Epic Games.
