OP
I'm glad I have a kid on the way, but I wish my job paid decently, because there's no way I can justify buying so many games in the span of a month now.
I'm already spread too thin when it comes to Switch multiplayer (Arms, Splatoon, Puyo Puyo Tetris) so I don't know if I'll grab this myself. But I'm quite confident that with the Switch's November library propped up by big-name third-party ports, Rocket League is currently set to be by far the biggest new release of the month, and when we inspect the eShop charts at the end of November it won't be close.
I can't WAIT for this. Been wanting to play Rocket League for years, but didn't have a console it was released on (and didn't care to do PC version). I am DAY ONE for this as soon as a physical copy comes out. Very excited to hear the digital version is coming so soon! Congratulations and best wishes for a successful launch! :)
I wish my unlocks and stuff would carry/transfer over between the PC version, then it would be an insta-buy. I just don't feel like maintaining two ranks to keep at the same level of play.
Whhaa? I thought a physical release was guaranteed. Hmm, may have to sit this one out until they make an announcement.
according to psyonix corey dunham it´ll come later
Not on November 14. Just digital that day. Physical version info coming later
The game is 60fps in single player. Not sure about split screen. Have they 100 percent confirmed split screen?
It's 720p/60fps both docked and undocked. Not sure for splitscreen though.
Edit: Aaaaaand beaten!
In the video in the OP, they play split screen with 2 Switch Pro controllers.
I honestly don't know but if there's one piece of advice I can give you, I wouldn't even remotely consider touching this game with joycons. I love this game to death and play it all the time on PC but I'd never buy this on Switch because I don't have a pro controller and realistically you're gonna want one in this game. You really want the extra control from the stick but more importantly you want the actual triggers rather than buttons. The amount of things a pro controller player can do versus a joy con player is going to be rather stark because of that IMO. I don't even know how you'd roof dribble accurately with a joycon.
And off topic but sigh...I miss the Rocket League OT. Anyone making one here? I would but I've never made one and heard we already have someone on it anyway.

Supposedly it's being worked on yeah. I'm fiending for it too I have some new fashion league to show off damnit.
Um.. What's the difference between using a pro controller and the Joycon grip?
I dunno, the rest of the post sounds like Pro Controller vs Single Joycon so that part confused me.
Great that it's releasing so soon but I'm worried
Nov 7 - Sonic Forces
Nov 10 - DOOM
Nov 14 - RiME, LA Noire, Rocket League
Nov 17 - Skyrim, Batman Telltale Series
Nov 28 - Resident Evil Revelations 1&2
Competing with so many big 3rd party games at launch doesnt seem wise

Going by the video in the OP, it appears to be 60fps in splitscreen too. I paused the video and went through frame by frame too, just to be doubly sure.
Sorry it took me a little while . Basically whether it was one joycon or two the problem us that your throttle and brake are buttons not triggers. Higher level mechanics like roof dribbling can be a lot harder with buttons than triggers IMO.
It's not impossible as there's high level mouse and keyboard players out there but personally I'd never try to play without actual triggers.
I've got a bug I really need to pester ErichWK over too! The dabbing reaper renders over the cars XD
When it's all said and done RL might outsell any of these releases. It will have the longest tail compared with these, I wouldn't worry, Psyonix doesn't either it seems.
Ya I need to complain about my constant downranking again
Rocket League is such a different type of game compared to the other 3rd parties (mainly single player) appearing in the same time frame. It also has a much lower price point.
But a trigger is just a button. I mean unless you are talking about analog triggers, but the Pro Controller doesn't have those. Hence my confusion.
It doesn't?! Huh... I figured at that price it would. So there's no pressure sensitivity in those triggers at All?
Nah. Though it certainly feels better than the Joycon 'triggers'.
Well, this is something I'm curious about that I mentioned earlier in this thread. Since the Wii U Gamecube adapter now works with the Switch, I wonder if technically RL could still use analog triggers with a 14 year old controller?
I think Nintendo patched that back out of the Switch right away.
No, it still works. You just have to reconnect the controllers or something.
Correct. Still playing MK8 and Zelda with it, just can't use the L bumper or gyro, but that's a given.
