Brian Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Is this game still popular? I remember them trying to create an e-sports league and I thought it fizzled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this reads as sales are down and this is the last dash for extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I play Rocket League pretty often. Plenty of people still play. Definitely a hard game to get into now because people are insanely good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I’m pretty sure it’s still rather popular for how old it is. They’ve started doing seasons and season passes with unlocks like Fortnite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Yeah I still play all the time. It’s my go to “not a lot of time to play” game. I stop playing for a few months here and there but I always get back into it. Easily one one of my favorite games of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as people complain about the Gaming Media, some gamers themselves are just as idiotic. And they were bought out by Epic right? Not just a store exclusivity deal? Did all the studios Microsoft recently bought up get review bombed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I continue to find the Epic hate puzzling and silly. I also don't see how this is a particularly valuable acquisition. I feel like Rocket League is an evergreen niche title. It doesn't really need a sequel as much as it just needs to keep adding little things to keep the existing audience. After so many years I doubt it's growing much. I assume a sequel is inevitable, or Psyonix just has another game coming, otherwise it doesn't seem like Epic is buying much here.
