It’s soccer, by Davy Jones' locker! But with boats, Hornswaggle And rockets! And that’s about it! Walk the plank! But it looks super amazin' an' has an INCREDIBLE response t' it.

It’s pretty hard t' describe what makes this fun except by simply pastin' some videos, but definitely have a look:

an' some more..

At $24NZD I’m a bit on th' fence with it simply because I can’t justify spendin' that much on a video game right now but if thar is enough interest in it I might go fer it. Looks like it’d be a great one fer th' TV with a bunch o' controllers as well!

Unfortunately no linux support sorry slacker, were bein' thinkin' about ye with this one too :(

Same boat as ye… Hard t' justify th' cost sometimes, Ya lily livered swabbie, yo ho, ho But if enough scallywags be in, this is totally worth it.

Looks like a really fun multiplayer experience.

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/clusters/frontpage/309b71a370266...

steam now has this as a front banner which could suggest(prob not) rocket league will be out before/day o' th' steammachines launch hopefully not too far off(i should warn other games had same thin' like witcher3 who denied fer months they be doin' a port(well if ye could call th' eon crap a port)) still cant buy till its here though t' be counted as a linux install

also saw that th' carmageddon guys who promised a linux version in their kickstarter said that they will be updatin' us on th' linux timeschedule “shortly” it hasn’t been that long since th' kickstarter right? RIGHT, Avast me hearties! oh damn……… well it hasn’t been that long since release oh what its been months already DAMN….. well they wont make us wait very long right? (2 years later) carmageddon reincarnation comin' steamos April 2020

Rocket League OS X and SteamOS Plans

Indie developer Psyonix announces plans fer OS X an' SteamOS editions o' Rocket League, sayin' these ports o' th' motorized sports game should arrive by th' end o' this year. “We’re extremely excited about SteamOS an' Mac,” said Dave Hagewood, Founder an' President o' Psyonix, me Jolly Roger “Our PC players have already proven how much passion they have fer our game, an' this is a great opportunity fer us t' brin' Rocket League t' an even wider audience inside th' Steam family.” They celebrate th' news with a 10% off sale on Steam, an' o' course th' SteamOS an' OS X editions will be part o' that purchase when released. Here’s more on th' plan, which includes a free copy o' th' game with Steam Hardware preorders:

Rocket League, th' popular an' critically-acclaimed sports-action title from independent game developer, Psyonix, is one o' th' top games o' th' summer. Havin' sold more than 1 million copies via Steam since its release last month, Rocket League is now officially headin' t' th' SteamOS an' Mac platforms later this year. To prepare fer th' SteamOS launch, Psyonix an' Valve be immediately offerin' Rocket League fer free t' those who pre-order (or have pre-ordered) any o' th' Steam Hardware devices (Steam Controller, Steam Link, or Steam Machine).

Rocket League brin's players a high-powered hybrid o' arcade-style soccer an' vehicular mayhem. Offerin' easy-t'-understan' controls an' fluid physics-driven gameplay, Rocket League boasts more than 10 billion possible garage customizations an' multiple match settin's. As one o' th' best-sellin' titles o' th' year, Rocket League is already one o' th' top titles featured in multiple eSports leagues throughout th' world an' has been one o' th' most watched games on YouTube an' Twitch throughout th' summer.
