What a save!
I'm going to wax slightly lyrical here but Rocket League is one of those games I can't imagine existing in any other form. Yes it's now accumulated many years' worth of cruft around it but developer Psyonix has never messed with that near-perfect core experience. Psyonix is now owned by Epic which has seen plenty of crossover between the game and Fortnite, but the latest stirs a dim memory of what could have been: one of the roads that these battle cars never traveled.
The initial concepts, however, went in some unusual directions. First, there was an open world where players would need to drive around and enter stadia to play a match. I interviewed some of Rocket League's creatives in 2016 about this, which is probably why Fortnite's new addition feels like some approximation of the Rocket League we never got. said Psyonix founder and CEO Dave Hagewood
."We quickly realised some ideas were out of scope or maybe a little crazy, so eventually steered back and said look: we don’t want to change the game that we felt was so successful. Let’s polish what we have, keep that core, and just build the best experience on top of playing that game." This meant focusing on the multiplayer core and throwing out the distractions ."At that same back-to-basics meeting where we decided to focus on what we knew was good," said design director Corey Davis, “we also decided to embrace the spirit of the game which is maybe a little goofy–it’s cars hitting soccer balls, right? We tacked fully into hats and vibrant colours, and made it into something we would enjoy seeing. We didn’t worry too much about the seriousness of it.
The rest is history. I've always wondered about that curious idea of Rocket League being set in an open map where players would drive around freely, choosing when and where to enter a match, and tootling around Fortnite's battle royale island is as close as we'll ever get to whatever Psyonix was envisaging.
