This really intrigues me! I was a big fan of Twisted Metal, and while I'm not good at Rocket League, it's so much fun.

Looks very inspired by Rocket League. I'm interested to see where it goes.

My first thought when I saw it was that it was the ugly lovechild of Fortnite and Rocket League.

I'm interested in this. Not a huge fan of the style that seems to be trying a little too hard, but the concept intrigues me!

[Mr.Vic20]

Much like the PS5, I'm turned off by the look, but what it can "do" intrigues me.

How bad is this game?! Oh, and for those who pre-ordered a bundle through Gamestop, I can confirm that GS will be backfilling this item with a 70.00 GS gift card!

What do you know, it's an actual game now.  Was that so hard Sony?

That looks like it could be fun. There’s a part towards the end where the car gets wrecked over a pit and the driver jumps out and wall runs to safety. I think it will come down to how it controls. If it moves as well as something like Rocket League then it could be really really fun. But if it feels light and loose it’ll fade like Fall Guys

Fall Guys is still extremely popular, just so you know... Jumped in days ago. Still immediate matchmaking and full games. Especially when they add or alter courses.

Yes I know. I was speaking in relative terms not literal ones.

More accurate.

[DarkStar189]

It looks alright. As the video went on, I found myself wondering if the game will actually be as fun as all the clips thrown together make it look. Or if it ends up being more frustrating getting blown up left and right. Or how clunky it might feel trying to platform your way back to another car. I'm interested to find out.

Challenges Series

Back in the Destruction AllStars State of Play, we briefly touched on the Challenge Series and currencies you can earn during your AllStar career. We wanted to take the opportunity to do a deeper dive into this topic.

 

Challenges Series are single-player experiences based around an AllStar and their Rival. It features cinematics at the start and the end in which you get to know a little bit more about your AllStars’ interpersonal relationships, and rivalries. Each event has additional challenges on top of their win conditions, giving you reasons to go back and play again for extra rewards. 

 

Challenge series contains:

 

Crash Course: The ultimate time trial. Pass through gates in your vehicle or on foot, collecting time canisters along the way if you can to give yourself a time boost. See if you can get to the finish gate in time. Be aware though, your Rival and their team may make an appearance to try and wreck you before you can reach the finish line.

 

Break Time: Smash all the Score Crates in the allotted time to win. You can smash them on foot or in any vehicle. Watch out for hazards in the arena that can slow you down though.

 

Transporter: Think of it like an AllStar taxi service. Jump into a vehicle and pick up a passenger. Get them to their destination to drop them off and quickly grab another. If you drop off enough passengers before the time runs out you win. However, with hazards in the arena and your Rival and their team out to get you, your passenger will get the ride of their life. Top tip: Use the slam mechanic to give yourself a speed boost or avoid incoming attacks.

 

Skirmish: You and your Rival are in a race to smash as many vehicles as possible. Whoever smashes the most wins. No draws here, you have to get more than your rival to win. A couple of top tips: Smashing your rival can earn you double points… just remember, they know smashing you will get them double points too! You should make sure to call in your hero vehicle ASAP to get an early lead on your Rival.

 

Showdown: This is it. Your rival has been popping up through the series to put a spanner in the works. Now it’s just you and them. Well… almost. First you need to wreck your Rival’s team mates. When you do, then it’s down to one on one, Hero vehicle Vs Hero vehicle, on foot Vs on foot, whatever you do, or however you do it, just wreck them to win.

 

 

Digital distribution

As we’ve shifted the launch of Destruction AllStars into PlayStation Plus, we’re doing the same with the price. We’re thrilled to announce that Destruction AllStars will be available for digital purchase from April 6th for $19.99 / CDN$29.99 / €19.99. This is a great value, and helps ensure the mayhem will continue long after our PlayStation Plus promotion comes to an end. Of course if you’ve already added the game to your library, it’s yours to keep as long as you’re an active PlayStation Plus subscriber.

 

 

They also have a Twitter account established for updates:

I like more sp content so that’s cool but what about more maps? Seems like that’s what it needs the most. It’s a fun game but 3 maps is pretty limited.
