Not all about graphics my friend. As I'm rediscovering by rinsing a Dreamcast at the mo.

Incidentally the very original Tony Hawks stands up bloody well as a boss game still.

Feel like I've been waiting years for a new good Skater game. Hope this doesn't let us down.

Anyone on PS Plus needs to download Rocket League later today.

A free PS Plus game in which you control rocket powered cars and play footy with them. What more could you ask for?

It's the successor to a PS3 game from a few years back called Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars, which I was a huge fan of.

They've been a bit more conservative about the name this time around.

The original was the ultimate drunken game to play with mates. Hours of fun sitting, giggling in a dark room with grown men. Once we recorded an entire game then watched the replay in hysterics. .... Jesus... What's happened to me

Ah yes. Rocket League is tons of fun.

Footy, cars and rockets. A formula for success if there ever was one.

The first game had a small cult following (myself included), just hoping it being free on PS+ will get more players online.

Glad the matchmaking seems to be working now, played a load of games earlier.

It takes time, mate. The key things to learn are:

• When and when not to use ball-cam
• When to stay back and when to get forward
• How to anticipate where the ball is going

Will be getting Rocket League as soon as I have some spare cash.

Gameplay looks like a lot of fun, there's local co-op and It's cross platform so I can smash all you console peasants (just kidding)

I'm on PC as well, mate. I use an Xbox controller for Rocket League, though. Fair play to anyone who can actually play the game effectively with K&M.

Thanks for the tips, I'm always missing the ball either by jumping to high or driving pass, terrible timing

Yes please thank you.

That genuinely looks graphically worse than some PS2 games I've played.

 

[Brennan]

Some game design and gameplay should stay in the past.

I have always hated skateboarding games. Almost as much as I hate those stupid fancy looking rhythm games (yep....Guitar Hero you overpriced heap of tripe, I'm talking about you!!!)
