They would likely make the map bigger and goals higher again like they did for 2v2 if it is added. Left: Bigger 2v2 Arena, Right: Smaller 1v1 ArenaĬurrently, there is no 3v3 game mode however, the official trailer showed a three-person main menu lobby which could allude to the game mode coming in the future.

However, Bronze goes up to 5 rather than 3 and there is an in-game leaderboard for every player who hits Grand Champ. Of course, losing games once you are ranked deranks you too though seemingly not while in Bronze. After this, every win gets you a tick under your rank and exceeding the tick count ranks you up. In every game mode, you begin unranked and are placed into Bronze 1 upon winning. The game modes available during the alpha are 1v1, 2v2 and Hoops (2v2)Ĭurrently all game modes assign a rank with no casual play and it is unknown whether this is the route they will take with the game. As shown in this menu: Wheels, Hats, Boosts, Car Colour and Goal Explosions can all be customised in the garage using an item system all rocket league players will be familiar with. Customisations:Īs is typical of Rocket League to this point, customisation is key. More are available through in-game spins or the levelling Pass. I started out with the Octane – the staple car of the Rocket League IP. Once every ten levels on the pass you receive a Bronze, Silver and Gold package – all of which contain an item and some amount of SP credits. The current Pass features some black market items although it could be the case that these are only present due to it being in alpha as black markets usually only show in loot crate environments. However, there is a credits system built into the game so it is likely that on release there will also be a Premium Pass.

The track currently functions exactly the same as the Rocket Pass: currently, only a free version is available. As shown here, the first spin costs 100 and the second costs 200, although I am unsure if this increases by 100 or doubles each time as I’m saving credits. It’s too early to know and I dont want to spend all my tokens on testing if duplicates are possible however, the ticks next to the items and Epic’s recent policy changes on loot crates definitely point to this being the most likely case.Įach player seemingly receives one free spin of the Mystery Items per day and subsequent spins will cost SP. To fit in with Epic Games’ policy that the loot crates aren’t gambling, items cannot be collected twice so that the better items are somewhat (if you keep opening them) guaranteed. Mystery Items are Rocket League Sideswipes answer to loot crates.

I very much like each player having a profile that shows off their ranks as they arent displayed for each player after the game.I feel that Rocket League itself could benefit from this as it means there doesn’t have to be a tracking website or mod to see other players’ ranks.

There is a second page that displays the names of the items used for the car’s customisation. Profile:Įvery player in Rocket League Sideswipe will have a profile that features their car design, their calling card and title, their profile logo and their ranks. The tutorial is played when you first log in, although it can be accessed at any point from the “solo” menu.Įxhibition and Freeplay are great opportunities to practice the game for players experiencing online lag during the tests and work the same way they do on Rocket League. This is a good move as the majority of players will already be used to this theming making it easily navigable. In terms of the main menu, Rocket League Sideswipe sports a familiar looking theme. For example, the airplay and boost control are all presented in a way that does not subtract from the overall gameplay. I feel the mechanics work really well in a 2D scenario and the key parts of Rocket League.
#ROCKET LEAGUE SIDESWIPE FULL#
I have enjoyed my experience with the game having pushed up multiple ranks in all three available game modes and look forward to the full release when I can play competitively in a team of friends. Psyonix have stated that beta tests will be coming to different regions throughout the next couple of months.įor official information check out the announcement here Most content looks finished if not yet polished and the choice of a region-locked alpha leads me to believe most of the testing will be network-based. It’s unlikely the game will be pushed back to 2022 given its solid playable state in the alpha. The game has just entered alpha testing in the Oceanic market and is slated for a 2021 release. Rocket League Sideswipe is the official name for the mobile 2D installment of the SARPBC Series.
