I don't think it's safe to say this gamemode is completely gone just yet. I've actually managed to get in contact with someone in the Rocket Racing team and ask a few questions around the matter. I'll run through the important ones. Q: Why was trading removed from Rocket League? A: Epic was forced to pay a fine to the Dutch Government as trading inside of Rocket League broke the law and thus, the removal of trading was done more as a defensive measure against future fines. Rocket Racing played no part in the removal of trading, the timing was purely coincidental. Q. Why is it that Lego Fortnite has had many more cosmetics, content, and overall attention? A. The development team for Rocket Racing CURRENTLY is around 10 people, and was even smaller pre-launch, forcing us to work 7 days a week in the month lead-up to launch. Q. Why were there so many flaws in the game upon launch? A. Since Lego was the massive collab gamemode, most developers were sent to work on it rather than help tackle the problems that lie within how Fortnite itself is set up. (To better explain this - Rocket Racing is actually non-deterministic as it isn't server based. This allows for many many many glitches to get through (such as those that make your car faster, finish instantly, and remove the barriers), as well as slowing the map making process due to the inability to implement UEFN maps into map selection. This is to change in the future and one of the current things they are working upon.) I think the developers have been hit with criticism too heavily. Yes, it's not the BEST arcade racer right now - but what it has is potential. I think the community need to be patient and see what happens next (I have some insight and it sounds AMAZING), they're a small team with a big project at hand. If you're still reading this - the thing that's most likely to help the gamemode is if you jump in and actually play. Even if it's for 10 minutes. The gamemode got off on the wrong foot through a lack of communication, but regardless of if they communicated or not - their hand was forced. As a community if we genuinely want to see this mode thrive - we need more players on the mode. If you have any other questions about the mode - leave them below, I'll answer those that I don't think give away too much and are more about why the game is in the position it's in.
This was very informative and gives a lot more information than I found when researching. I think that’s awesome that you managed to get into contact with some of the dev team for RR. This mode has potential to be a lot bigger with some of these changes you mentioned they’re working on. I’d be interested in making a follow up on this video with some of the information you’ve put out there.
@OldPets. from what I heard, it was proposed - they had a concept fully fleshed out. But it got rejected, saying something like that would never be added. Then when Lego got theirs added, they started developing the concept. Bit disappointing it got rejected originally or it would've been in game already.
The thing is , that epic kept us (rocket league players) hyped for a new racing game mode and everyone thought that it was in rocket league ( and that they finally will start updating rocket league), not in fortnite , and they keep updating fortnite and just leave rocket league with nothing and the game is dead now I forgot to mention that when they started stopping updating rocket league a while after they tweeted that it was BECAUSE OF rocket racing a new racing mode for rocket league Everyone got hyped after and then we discovered its a mode in fortnite and thought that trading got removed because of it (which I think they even said that but the guy you contacted said the opposite)
Epic decided to make this mode in Fortnite instead of Rocket League as an excuse to take away trading to promote their item shop, but also to get Rocket league players away from RL and into FN. Epic is actively trying to kill RL and promote FN. They failed miserably as RL players hate the mode, and instead the player base consists of FN players, and when they want to get items they hop over to RL, attracting more FN players to RL compared to RL players to FN.
I agree heavily that they removed trading to promote their item shop. It's a shame they removed trading because it effectively killed a good chunk of the RL community. RR should have been a RL mode in the first place. The mode is too competitive especially when you hit the higher ranks. I'm in Elite and man is it a struggle trying to get into champion let alone unreal!
@@Twisted_Yeti except the way it was made, the RL community would hate it in their game. They thought it was being created with the exact same precise and perfect physics that RL has, but instead it was a brand new game.
I think most of us knew at least one of the three new modes would kick the bucket after a short lifespan and as time moved on It became more and more obvious on which one it was gonna be.
In my opinion, I sorta like how LEGO Fortnite is going? I kinda wish it was a story based game similar to a traditional LEGO game that would take you through the lore and story of Fortnite rather than the Minecraft-like approach. Just wishful thinking though. 😇
I would say Festival and Lego did great, I’ve played until reached champion on Rocket Racing, I wanted to unlock the rims, decals and different colors. Now that I’ve unlocked, I stopped playing because: I’m over level 200 (mode was good to farm 3 daily quests giving 15k exp each) and the grind to reach to unreal is abysmal (people flipping vehicles mid air, cars hitting the corners of checkpoint portals and bouncing to the next one cutting seconds of a match). How are you suppose to compete on a racing mode like this? I like Zero Build, I started playing Festival because I used to play guitar hero 1, 2 and 3 on PS2 and I “used” rocket racing as xp farm + car items farm. He’s just there as an official mode for these 2 things, nothing more than that.
the worst part about it is that the rocket league devs started working or rocket racing back in July 2021 and because of that rocket league had no update for over 3 years because the devs weren't working on rocket league so the game died.
@@343ishill nope ue5 was just for rocket racing league so not moving to ue5 because it was canceled because of how outdated the game is so moving it to ue5 would be near impossible
@@Blue_eyeofficial For reference, Smite was moved to UE5 from UE3. Unless Psyonix publicly announces that they're cancelling the project, I find it harder to believe they're returning to an outdated engine instead of remaking it as Rocket League 2 on a new engine.
They could do so much more for Rocket Racing, like give us a casual mode, a Racing Pass (for example with the Ferrari they announced months ago and never came), a Power Up mode (like Mario Kart has) and very important: More cosmetics should transfer over!!!
Definitely agree. The thing with a pass though is you can level up the rocket pass in Rocket League and that stuff should transfer over. You should at least be able to level that pass up in Rocket Racing so you don’t have to play Rocket League just to get the stuff. And a Mario kart mode would be super fun!
I’m pretty sure they do have a casual mode it’s the other maps not the ranked rocket racing but it’s quite boring because nobody plays unranked rocket racing and they did state they are considering making a rocket pass
@@hehasnolips1371 Oh yeah forget you can select the maps individually lol. Ranked is what I usually play for the mode but man it can be infuriating at times.
The problem that you didnt mention of the removal of trading is that there is a big big rocket league community plays the game mostly for trading when they took out trading these communities just died
Very true how removing trading killed a part of the community. Maybe in a future video I’ll go more in depth into this. Thank you for pointing this out!
I think they truly undermined the basis of Rocket League after buying it in 2019, it's barely gotten any updates besides the season updates since then and having the long awaited racing mode be put in Fortnite instead just ruined the community in both games and they both keep losing player counts because they are just so uninteresting to play for casual users anymore.
Completely agree. I can’t speak too much on the RL side of things, but in RR its just a racing mode. It gets really hard to rank up the higher you climb and pointless once you hit unreal. If they went in a different direction with the mode such as putting it in RL or even making it similar to Mario kart, it would be in a much better position!
I have a idea just play mario kart 8 deluxe and all DLC if you’re not with Fortnite car game is 100% bad for your i think i love but hard to get 1 and i not playing for all time sorry I me forgot is the game sorry
Big issue is that Epic thinks people want to race in fortnite, we DON’T for the most part, especially a boring repetitive mode with incredibly hard quests and a “Simulation” Mode for finishing a map as fast as possible, Rocket Pass and Rocket Racing should be combined and Rocket Racing should of been part of Rocket League if they don’t wanna put the Rocket Pass and Rocket Racing together.
Not being able to grind the Rocket Pass in Fortnite or even letting RR have its own pass is not helping the mode. If there was a reason to grind RR besides ranked, I think RR would at least average 10k.
For those who didn't know, the reason Epic has been so slow to bring car bodies to Fortnite is because Rocket League still uses Unreal Engine 3; so they have to completely rebuild the car models from scratch so that they're more compatible with Unreal Engine 5. This could also be a contributing factor to the higher prices of cars in the Fortnite item shop; making the higher-fidelity (UE5) variants of cars add extra cost when it comes to bringing new cars to Fortnite, so they may need to raise the prices to make up for it.
that is if rl is actively trying to get to ue5.. but with all efforts on fn or other epic games, i think its a very slim chance of acc being a big improvement for rl.
@@Hava.a1 Rocket League being ported to UE5 would be absolutely legendary! I've always wished Rocket League could have the graphics of more recent games. But that'd take a lot of work. It could happen, but I doubt it'll happen any time soon as well. You never know, though... maybe Epic's been working on it...
@@ColossalKaiju yeah.. they are lucky cause of the benefit of the doubt but like everyone, i wish that epic is really moving rl to ue5 would be astonishing for the game
As a rocket league player, it’s pretty sad how epic is killing the game. Good video though, very high quality and well made especially considering how small ur channel is 👍
As a high level rr player, I really wish they didn't actively alienate the entire rl audience with the launch, that on top of the high levels of jank early on completely nuked the playercount before it started. Also, 90% of people who are interested in racing games don't want to download 50 gigs of fortnite just to try out a cool new game. It's just really sad overall because the gameplay is incredible but the decisions made around the launch of the game remove almost all of the game's potential audience (fn players don't like car games, rl players mad about trading, racing game players don't want to install fortnite).
100% agree racing game players don’t want to download all of Fortnite just to play RR. I think at one point they said they would make it to where you can download just the separate modes to try them but not sure if they went through with it.
The creation of Fortnite wasn’t hust a game, the Battle Royale is the main attraction while the Lego, Festival and Rocket Racing being the secondary games creating a whole ecosystem around BR. This was the vision of the creator, he talked about this before leaving the development team. This vision will be implemented to keep Fortnite alive, a main game attached to 3~5 secondary games.
BR is def the main attraction to the game. These secondary modes are there to keep people in the Fortnite ecosystem as you said. RR is just not doing as well as the others, and by a noticeable bit. It’s rough to see a paid game (STW) beating out RR since it’s so new. It’s more sad they don’t even update STW.
@@Twisted_Yeti I do! It is more fun with friends, I will be honest there, but there are so many things to do in that mode that you have content for months to YEARS. And it's completely optional if you wanna play it or not. Only thing is that it's $18 but at least you receive vbucks from the Quest books. All in all, 8/10 from me! (Ive had it for 1 year btw)
Nice video! You should consider lowering the volume of the background music tho, at one point in the video it's just not possible to hear you clearly because it. 😀😀
@@Twisted_Yeti in the battle royale i literally fly with the boss cars (no one does for some reason when its so easy, you just have to find a vertical wall with a bump or border on it
I still like playing it for the rewards you get because you can also use them in rocket league and I play a lot of rocket league with my brother and the concept is also a mazing, but not many people play it😢
I often see people say "Just add mario kart items to make it better" but i feel like they would have to alter how the cars drive because it's so focused on speed and boosts. Let's say they do add a mode like that and have a green shell esc item, how can you aim it at drivers who are drifting all over the place and boosting ahead.
That’s a fair point I never thought of. If they’re working on a mode similar to Mario kart for RR I’m sure they’ll figure out how. I couldn’t say how personally though 😂
I would love to love rocket racing, but I just get bored so fast. Maps are empty with no original or fun mechanic other than boost pads, they could add bouncers, moving track parts but nothing. Driving is extremely boring and the physics don’t allow creativity. Tilting forwards and using boosters doesn’t even proper forwards more except when you are starting in speedrun mode. They could add, dunno, something like doing a full 360 in the air gives you a boost upon landing but absolutely nothing. It’s so barebones and all the maps play the same.
What I don’t like is as you progress in ranked, the tracks don’t change much besides adding more obstacles. If it’s going to be a racing game I don’t want to fight against obstacles!
@@Twisted_Yeti I think obstacles are fun to be honest, a hybrid between a platformer and a racing game is amazing, but those obstacles are just spammed red boxes, no creativity
It’s kind of a pointless game mode like he has legit no similarities to rocket league. It’s just a racing game. And even when they dropped the creative version for players to make maps off you can still only make racing maps.
Very good and informative video. 👍 If u could do a video talking about the other two modes that would be cool, Imo Fortnite Festival is the better mode out of the three modes Epic added
@@Twisted_Yeti you're welcome, I'll definitely be watching your other videos and staying up to date with your content. U seem like a pretty chill guy 💯👏
5:59 this change would be absolutely HUGE. id love to grind out the rocket pass by playing rocket racing to get some sick cosmetics, fingers crossed they add this🤞🤞
With the last fortnite update rocket racing experience earned overall, was increased, in everything you do in that mode. They also recently added a metallica collab, a addias collab an a free bonus jam track reward in ranked for those that reach silver 1 in ranked. Already reached silver in ranked? Just do one ranked race an youll automatically get the reward. So, they are currently trying to increase the incintives to play alot more so now. Will see if the trend continues or not soon enough. Imo it needs to, with the extention to the season, seasoned players dont have much to play for once they get everything else. Upside: we can all get 1 easy level up per day by just doing the rocket racinj dailies. Which only takes about 30 minites or less to do. Often its less.
I do like they’ve been doing more with the mode lately. I made this video about a month ago just released it recently which is why I didn’t cover the recent updates. Hopefully the trend reverses because I honestly like Rocket Racing. It just needs to pivot into a different direction for a chance to survive with long term success.
@Twisted_Yeti after learning this, u find it messed up that epic would push out lego skins every update by alot, and neglect rocket racing at the same time, while also letting down tons of people. This whole time, fortnite crew has had rocket racing in it an it's not even doing ehat epic stated it would do.. Whixh is carry over all the cosmetics from rr to fn.. It's beyond messed up. An I believe alot of people just don't know the full story as to why an how this had effected us in general. Weather your a rr player or a fn one. One way or another were getting screwed out of what we should be getting from crew an epic dont seem to want to acknowledge it even. We deserve to have something of equal value in its place of that's the case. Why not lego pass or festival pass. Mae's no sense for them to push lego stuff so hard an not include it in the crew when they can't meet their other obligation in regards to rr an crew.. Other than they just want to make easy money. Be lazy basically.
What I really wish is the ability to progress the rocket pass while playing rocket racing. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to. It gives you something to grind even after hitting unreal.
i couldnt realy hear in the end due to the intense orchastral strings that were blasting in my ear but overall i agree with almost everything you said. Great vid
I also feel that a main reason rocket racing failed was the whole idea of it. When making a racing game, there are very important attributes to add to make it successful. Since it’s Fortnite, Rocket Racing should’ve taken more of the cartoony approach like Mario kart. Mario Kart has the main focus on the drivers, which is one of the main keys to a successful racing game, memorable characters. Since we don’t see our skins the only thing we can customize is a car which not many players care about, including me. They could’ve added items to the game as well, but they took it too seriously.
I like Rocket Racing. I think it's a cool concept. But the problem here is that this mode gets hardly any attention and is splitting a community. I want it to be a mode that people enjoy and they need to rethink their strategy on how to do it.
It’s a fun mode just very competitive. It’s really hard to grind the ranks out when you hit higher ranks like elite. Can also be respective after awhile which is understandable.
Rocket Racing to me an alright place to get XP when you're still grinding for the battle pass. That said the newest update made it so you need to do 9 daily missions to get all the quest XP. Instead of 6, which I'm not a fan of. They did increase the XP, but it means more time playing if you really want it.
I didn’t know they increased dailies from 6 to 9. Sucks that they did that. People would probably play more if they decreased that rather than increase. At least you get a tad more xp though.
This is my old gameplay too! I’m currently in Elite and almost champion. This was when I was in gold 1. So it’s a lot better than what you see here. I appreciate you saying I know how to play though 😅
What was good about Epic Games getting to own rl was that it was free to play now. But I knew stuff like this happened right when I heard that epic is buying rl from Psyonix.
Yeah it was fun to try when it went free. I was never a huge RL player but pretty sad to see how it's going because of what they want for Fortnite. Hopefully the game is in a better state eventually.
@Twisted_Yeti me and my friends were saying how epic is probably going to slowly make rocket league into fortnite and then rocket league will be like a forbidden game
As a BR player, Rocket Racing is just too bland for me. I can play a few ranked games and I’ll be so burnt out on the mode for weeks and the challenges for cosmetics are so grindy. I don’t want to invest my time and money into a mode that is just so boring to me and I’m sure a lot of other plays feel the same.
I don’t blame you. I play Fortnite mainly for BR as well. RR is just fun to play on the side every so often. The challenges for the mode are pretty grindy, especially getting to Unreal.
i personally love rocket racing, but there is no real incentive to play it other then some cosmetics, i never really trade in rocket league either so i didn't really care personally that trading was removed, but i will never understand why epic is so against trading, if people get scammed thats completely on them, and i don't see how that would lose money for epic, in fact back in the day i remember trading was one of the main reasons some of my friends kept spending money on rocket league to get cooler items and trade for just as cool items
100% agree that RR is cosmetic driven. There’s not even a whole lot you can earn since you can’t progress the Rocket pass by playing RR. Plus the rewards you get for playing ranked aren’t crazy to begin with. Wish they would give more car bodies out, especially if you hit unreal!
Even as an experienced RL player, I just disliked the thought of them doing Rocket Racing. I owed a friend a decal, and now I can't even give it to them because trading's gone 😭
I got an idea on how to save rocket racing and bring the mode more life, it needs a battle mode, festival has it, and even lego has it (the pvp option), and since the focus of the season is a theme like mad max, why not, do a mode like twisted metal or carmageddon
I recently hit unreal In Rocket Racing and it can takes up to 3 minutes to get one match to not just have enough players or you get a bad placement and lose 3% in champion
I’m currently Elite 84%. I want to hit unreal here soon. Took like a month break but about to start my grind again. Congrats on hitting unreal and wish me luck!
I think most of rocket racing players are only there to get the cosmetics to use in battle Royal, which without rocket racing, we would have probably have just had a variety of cars in the map
The thing is the trailer showed parts where it looked like it would be a Mario kart mode! I really hope they make a mode for that in the future. Would definitely bring some life back to RR!
i swear making a good game is not only the thing you wanna do if you already have a game like fortnite which is not only known for collabs but for interaction, in rocket racing you can't even see your own skin driving or interact with anyone, is just a driving game so of course it feels out of place, like it doesn't belong between lego fortnite or festival. at least those two you can interact face to face its an ambitious idea for the sake of making an ambitious game but without thinking about interaction, because how can you posibly make a driving game feel like youre there with others compared to hitting the griddy as your character and another players crazy character in a band?
Very true. RR is not really a fun game in terms of playing with other players. It's competitive at best in the current state it is in. If they went a different direction with the mode such as a mario kart like mode, it would be doing a lot better than it currently is in my opinion.
It's sad to see Rocket Racing fail. That's actually my favorite LTM. I enjoy it more than Festival, and Lego. I'm sure it'll either be scraped, or changed somehow.
I can see what you meant with a lot of the points, and I really don't have any comment. Just to say that thereis going to be another season for Rocket Racing
I feel like you can't call them seasons at this point. Yes, we get new maps with a new theme but that's about it. Feel like they need to add a little more to justify calling it a season. That's my personal opinion.
the only false thing is that you said there was no cross ownership for rocket league pass to fortnite wich is false in the 2 last season most rocket pass item were transferable, except that good video
They should have a crossplay like thing with rocket racing, where people playing rocket racing via rocket league, can race against people playing rocket racing via fortnite
@@Twisted_Yeti some modders did a thing where a minecraft and roblox server was connected to eachother, so its at least possible to do something like that
As a person who plays Fortnite and Rocket League simultaneously, this is a stupid addition to promoting Fortnite. If this and the Lego mode were gone, it wouldn't bother me one bit..
I don’t have the name for the first song I used. Found it on RUclips studio. Will try and look for it tomorrow. The second song is called “Documentary Ambient” by bdProductions. The third song is called “Demise of a Nation” by Secession Studios. If you want to use these, the second song is royalty free and the third song will most likely get claimed as it did for me. Just be careful!
I am also pissed it’s not in RL as if it was it would have been so much better as you would have to use rocket league mechanics to go faster and it would be much more skill full.
I disagree, I think for Rocket Racing to succeed it needed to be supported by Rocket League fans. Buying every colour option for a car at the prices they are sold on Fortnite is more appealing by design for Rocket League fans the problem is the removal of trading which convinced the majority of rocket league players to steer clear of Rocket Racing leaving Fortnite fans who aren’t likely to dedicate their time to a barebones arcade racer in Fortnite let alone spending upwards of $20 just for a car they *might* use in Fortnite BR
Yeah the game really needs the support of RL players to continue on. Otherwise, it'll keep headed in its current direction. Car prices also need to come down! The new Nissan Z bundle that released is 2800 vbucks wish is insane!
The most popular Metaverse mode is the newest mode called Fortnite Reload and it may stay as popular as it is right now as the updates for the mode look really good meaning the most successful Metaverse modes are Fortnite Reload, Fortnite Festival, and Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing is sat as not successful and with the Metaverse expanding with even more modes like most likely a Fall Guys mode and Fortnite is most likely getting an Open World mode most likely in ch6 that will hopefully expand on BR'S story I see Rocket Racing loosing even more players most likely leading Fortnite to discontinue the mode or add a new mode to Rocket Racing kind of like Mario Kart that has weapon attachments from the current BR season and powerups however seeing as that a bunch of people don't like the current BR season cause of the vehicles and vehicle attachments I feel like if Rocket Racing gets a mode like Mario Kart vehicle attachments shouldn't be added and only powerups should so more people actually play it the Metaverse is really good as it brought a mode I really like called Fortnite Reload
I like rocket racing , A LOT , and am not even a car guy all that match . I just like how better it gets EVENTUALLY OVERTIME and I NET if give it its time to shine it will become VERY succesful , new maps , new modes , POWERUPS , new mechanics , rocket league pass grindable IN Rocket Racing and A WHOOLE of other chaanges ! Also I ve seen the mode in prime hours and not night hours , achieving over 10l and 13 k sometimes , the mode is NOT dead yet and it wont be , if eventually the do those changes I mentioned above . Stop doing videos abou trendy topics when u dont even care about rocket racing
I assure you I do like Rocket Racing. Out of the three new modes they launched though, RR was the failure of the three. I believe it has a future if they pivot the direction they’re currently going in. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video :)
@@Twisted_Yeti Okay , then why are u STILL gold 3 , platinum is easy and yeah eventually the WILL do thoae things that I mentioned cuz they HAVE to in order to make this mode ULTRA FUN cuz even rn is fun bit if they keep updating and doing the stuff I mentioned then this mode is coming BACK
@@Twisted_Yeti they also needed a hint of traps like in mortal Kombats racing game and Mario kart, that would be perfect and then if they wanted to be lazy, they can let the community make maps and add them to the main playlist as long as the maps aren't copyright👍 that would save this racing mode
5thousand isn't even a little city in Scotland witch is kinda crazy there's 8 billion and 1 million playing fortnite but 5k on a fortnite made mode festival has more creative modes made by players have more so this game is deaaad
Words can’t describe how much hate I have for Tim Sweeney, like NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS, these metaverse modes are the reason why Donald mustard left, I still enjoy current Fortnite but WHAT THE FUCK THESE MODES HAVE TO DO THESE MODES HAVE TO DO WITH BATTLE ROYALE!? Fortnite was supposed to be a battle royale game where you just have to be the last one standing. Epic games needs to listen to their community and get rid of the modes all together instead of this metaverse bullshit
I don’t think they need to get rid of the modes all together, but just more emphasize BR than any other mode. At the end of the day, people know Fortnite as a BR. The other modes are just a nice addition as long as they don’t become the primary focus.
@@Twisted_Yeti it would be best if they kept the modes in the game but just discontinued this, the number of players in BR compared to all of those modes combined just proves how irrelevant they are
I would agree. RR is too niche, Festival is more niche but not as much as RR. Lego would’ve been good if you didn’t have to buy virtual lego sets. Instant turn off!
@@Twisted_Yeti I feel festival fitted more Fortnite since they were already collaborating with artist, might as well showcase their songs. However seing this, is funny how you can separate the originals and the other games: festival and Lego and rocket league and fall guys. Idk if a rock band would have been better alone, but I feel it fits Fortnite just for the skins.
The one good thing with festival being in Fortnite and not a separate game itself is it will likely receive support/updates a lot longer than a stand alone guitar hero for instance.
It was never supposed to be big its just so that when BR players get bored, they still play fortnite. it was supposed to be a halfbaked mode and thats what it is. stop crying that it's not as big as BR
Nobody is crying that it’s not as big BR. It’s more so compared to the other modes like STW. Never expected it to be huge but not on life support this early.
@@Twisted_Yeti yeah u werent crying about it, u made a good analysis! but SOME RUclipsRS were yapping being like "ohhh rocket racing failed it gets less players than BR"
I’ll agree life support is a bit dramatic and it’s not at that point. Thank you for liking the video. And honestly if RR averaged more players than BR to begin with than there are probably big problems with BR but thankfully that’s not the case 😂
It's not dead, just not pulling the numbers compared to the other modes. I don't think it's a bad mode I actually love the mode, but it needs to change up a bit to grow.
I don't think it's safe to say this gamemode is completely gone just yet.
I've actually managed to get in contact with someone in the Rocket Racing team and ask a few questions around the matter. I'll run through the important ones.
Q: Why was trading removed from Rocket League?
A: Epic was forced to pay a fine to the Dutch Government as trading inside of Rocket League broke the law and thus, the removal of trading was done more as a defensive measure against future fines. Rocket Racing played no part in the removal of trading, the timing was purely coincidental.
Q. Why is it that Lego Fortnite has had many more cosmetics, content, and overall attention?
A. The development team for Rocket Racing CURRENTLY is around 10 people, and was even smaller pre-launch, forcing us to work 7 days a week in the month lead-up to launch.
Q. Why were there so many flaws in the game upon launch?
A. Since Lego was the massive collab gamemode, most developers were sent to work on it rather than help tackle the problems that lie within how Fortnite itself is set up.
(To better explain this - Rocket Racing is actually non-deterministic as it isn't server based. This allows for many many many glitches to get through (such as those that make your car faster, finish instantly, and remove the barriers), as well as slowing the map making process due to the inability to implement UEFN maps into map selection. This is to change in the future and one of the current things they are working upon.)
I think the developers have been hit with criticism too heavily. Yes, it's not the BEST arcade racer right now - but what it has is potential. I think the community need to be patient and see what happens next (I have some insight and it sounds AMAZING), they're a small team with a big project at hand.
If you're still reading this - the thing that's most likely to help the gamemode is if you jump in and actually play. Even if it's for 10 minutes. The gamemode got off on the wrong foot through a lack of communication, but regardless of if they communicated or not - their hand was forced. As a community if we genuinely want to see this mode thrive - we need more players on the mode.
If you have any other questions about the mode - leave them below, I'll answer those that I don't think give away too much and are more about why the game is in the position it's in.
This was very informative and gives a lot more information than I found when researching. I think that’s awesome that you managed to get into contact with some of the dev team for RR. This mode has potential to be a lot bigger with some of these changes you mentioned they’re working on. I’d be interested in making a follow up on this video with some of the information you’ve put out there.
@Twisted_Yeti no worries! Happy to answer any further questions if you have them, just let me know :)
Do you know if there is going to be a battle pass for rocket racing? Since there is for festival and lego.
@OldPets. from what I heard, it was proposed - they had a concept fully fleshed out. But it got rejected, saying something like that would never be added. Then when Lego got theirs added, they started developing the concept. Bit disappointing it got rejected originally or it would've been in game already.
The thing is , that epic kept us (rocket league players) hyped for a new racing game mode and everyone thought that it was in rocket league ( and that they finally will start updating rocket league), not in fortnite , and they keep updating fortnite and just leave rocket league with nothing and the game is dead now
I forgot to mention that when they started stopping updating rocket league a while after they tweeted that it was BECAUSE OF rocket racing a new racing mode for rocket league
Everyone got hyped after and then we discovered its a mode in fortnite and thought that trading got removed because of it (which I think they even said that but the guy you contacted said the opposite)
Epic decided to make this mode in Fortnite instead of Rocket League as an excuse to take away trading to promote their item shop, but also to get Rocket league players away from RL and into FN. Epic is actively trying to kill RL and promote FN. They failed miserably as RL players hate the mode, and instead the player base consists of FN players, and when they want to get items they hop over to RL, attracting more FN players to RL compared to RL players to FN.
I agree heavily that they removed trading to promote their item shop. It's a shame they removed trading because it effectively killed a good chunk of the RL community. RR should have been a RL mode in the first place. The mode is too competitive especially when you hit the higher ranks. I'm in Elite and man is it a struggle trying to get into champion let alone unreal!
@@Twisted_Yeti except the way it was made, the RL community would hate it in their game. They thought it was being created with the exact same precise and perfect physics that RL has, but instead it was a brand new game.
That’s a fair point in itself. The mechanics are definitely more Fortnite related.
@@Twisted_Yetiso now fall guys killing off?
I’m not sure, but that might be an interesting topic to cover in a video!
I think most of us knew at least one of the three new modes would kick the bucket after a short lifespan and as time moved on It became more and more obvious on which one it was gonna be.
Very true. Sad because I think Rocket Racing had the potential to be good. They just took it in a direction that’s very niche.
lego fornite feels boring too like nothing to grind for on that mode after the star wars update
In my opinion, I sorta like how LEGO Fortnite is going? I kinda wish it was a story based game similar to a traditional LEGO game that would take you through the lore and story of Fortnite rather than the Minecraft-like approach. Just wishful thinking though. 😇
I would say Festival and Lego did great, I’ve played until reached champion on Rocket Racing, I wanted to unlock the rims, decals and different colors.
Now that I’ve unlocked, I stopped playing because: I’m over level 200 (mode was good to farm 3 daily quests giving 15k exp each) and the grind to reach to unreal is abysmal (people flipping vehicles mid air, cars hitting the corners of checkpoint portals and bouncing to the next one cutting seconds of a match). How are you suppose to compete on a racing mode like this?
I like Zero Build, I started playing Festival because I used to play guitar hero 1, 2 and 3 on PS2 and I “used” rocket racing as xp farm + car items farm. He’s just there as an official mode for these 2 things, nothing more than that.
the worst part about it is that the rocket league devs started working or rocket racing back in July 2021 and because of that rocket league had no update for over 3 years because the devs weren't working on rocket league so the game died.
I didn't know they were working on a racing mode for RL way back in 2021. That's crazy. They fumble is even crazier knowing this now!
@@Twisted_YetiRocket League had no updates, because they're moving the game to UE5.
Rocket Racing is just a side project for them.
Didn’t know they we’re actively moving the game to UE5. Hopefully it’s done soon so the game can get some new content!
@@343ishill nope ue5 was just for rocket racing league so not moving to ue5 because it was canceled because of how outdated the game is so moving it to ue5 would be near impossible
@@Blue_eyeofficial For reference, Smite was moved to UE5 from UE3.
Unless Psyonix publicly announces that they're cancelling the project, I find it harder to believe they're returning to an outdated engine instead of remaking it as Rocket League 2 on a new engine.
They could do so much more for Rocket Racing, like give us a casual mode, a Racing Pass (for example with the Ferrari they announced months ago and never came), a Power Up mode (like Mario Kart has) and very important: More cosmetics should transfer over!!!
Definitely agree. The thing with a pass though is you can level up the rocket pass in Rocket League and that stuff should transfer over. You should at least be able to level that pass up in Rocket Racing so you don’t have to play Rocket League just to get the stuff. And a Mario kart mode would be super fun!
I’m pretty sure they do have a casual mode it’s the other maps not the ranked rocket racing but it’s quite boring because nobody plays unranked rocket racing and they did state they are considering making a rocket pass
@@hehasnolips1371 Oh yeah forget you can select the maps individually lol. Ranked is what I usually play for the mode but man it can be infuriating at times.
Rocket racing is a glorified creative map
You’re not wrong honestly 😂
The problem that you didnt mention of the removal of trading is that there is a big big rocket league community plays the game mostly for trading when they took out trading these communities just died
Very true how removing trading killed a part of the community. Maybe in a future video I’ll go more in depth into this. Thank you for pointing this out!
The amount of times ive full on driven THROUGH walls due to lack of hit detection is halariously sad and pathetic.
Yeah the collision is so bad sometimes 😭
I think they truly undermined the basis of Rocket League after buying it in 2019, it's barely gotten any updates besides the season updates since then and having the long awaited racing mode be put in Fortnite instead just ruined the community in both games and they both keep losing player counts because they are just so uninteresting to play for casual users anymore.
Completely agree. I can’t speak too much on the RL side of things, but in RR its just a racing mode. It gets really hard to rank up the higher you climb and pointless once you hit unreal. If they went in a different direction with the mode such as putting it in RL or even making it similar to Mario kart, it would be in a much better position!
I have a idea just play mario kart 8 deluxe and all DLC if you’re not with Fortnite car game is 100% bad for your i think i love but hard to get 1 and i not playing for all time sorry I me forgot is the game sorry
@@codycolchdolc9395 You can mod your wii; bring mario kart back online and have more fun that way too
Big issue is that Epic thinks people want to race in fortnite, we DON’T for the most part, especially a boring repetitive mode with incredibly hard quests and a “Simulation” Mode for finishing a map as fast as possible, Rocket Pass and Rocket Racing should be combined and Rocket Racing should of been part of Rocket League if they don’t wanna put the Rocket Pass and Rocket Racing together.
Not being able to grind the Rocket Pass in Fortnite or even letting RR have its own pass is not helping the mode. If there was a reason to grind RR besides ranked, I think RR would at least average 10k.
For those who didn't know, the reason Epic has been so slow to bring car bodies to Fortnite is because Rocket League still uses Unreal Engine 3; so they have to completely rebuild the car models from scratch so that they're more compatible with Unreal Engine 5. This could also be a contributing factor to the higher prices of cars in the Fortnite item shop; making the higher-fidelity (UE5) variants of cars add extra cost when it comes to bringing new cars to Fortnite, so they may need to raise the prices to make up for it.
That’s a good point I didn’t even think of. Thank you for pointing this out!
that is if rl is actively trying to get to ue5.. but with all efforts on fn or other epic games, i think its a very slim chance of acc being a big improvement for rl.
@@Hava.a1 Rocket League being ported to UE5 would be absolutely legendary! I've always wished Rocket League could have the graphics of more recent games. But that'd take a lot of work. It could happen, but I doubt it'll happen any time soon as well.
You never know, though... maybe Epic's been working on it...
@@ColossalKaiju yeah.. they are lucky cause of the benefit of the doubt but like everyone, i wish that epic is really moving rl to ue5 would be astonishing for the game
As a rocket league player, it’s pretty sad how epic is killing the game. Good video though, very high quality and well made especially considering how small ur channel is 👍
Thank you! It was a new style for me so glad it turned out well. Hopefully Epic can give Rocket League some love in the near future!
As a high level rr player, I really wish they didn't actively alienate the entire rl audience with the launch, that on top of the high levels of jank early on completely nuked the playercount before it started. Also, 90% of people who are interested in racing games don't want to download 50 gigs of fortnite just to try out a cool new game. It's just really sad overall because the gameplay is incredible but the decisions made around the launch of the game remove almost all of the game's potential audience (fn players don't like car games, rl players mad about trading, racing game players don't want to install fortnite).
100% agree racing game players don’t want to download all of Fortnite just to play RR. I think at one point they said they would make it to where you can download just the separate modes to try them but not sure if they went through with it.
@@Twisted_Yeti they even have individual store pages and launch shortcuts in the epic games store, but all of them just open fortnite 😭
Dang that sucks
The creation of Fortnite wasn’t hust a game, the Battle Royale is the main attraction while the Lego, Festival and Rocket Racing being the secondary games creating a whole ecosystem around BR. This was the vision of the creator, he talked about this before leaving the development team.
This vision will be implemented to keep Fortnite alive, a main game attached to 3~5 secondary games.
BR is def the main attraction to the game. These secondary modes are there to keep people in the Fortnite ecosystem as you said. RR is just not doing as well as the others, and by a noticeable bit. It’s rough to see a paid game (STW) beating out RR since it’s so new. It’s more sad they don’t even update STW.
really good video! i honestly forgot about RR and only usually play ZB or STW.
Thank you! ZB is fun. I’ve hardly tried STW. Would you recommend it?
@@Twisted_Yeti I do! It is more fun with friends, I will be honest there, but there are so many things to do in that mode that you have content for months to YEARS. And it's completely optional if you wanna play it or not. Only thing is that it's $18 but at least you receive vbucks from the Quest books. All in all, 8/10 from me! (Ive had it for 1 year btw)
@@Kitsoonaye for me its just looking at the zombies die to get my daily vbucks, you do the same shit every mission. boring asf
I only played it to get the challenge skin in December and haven't touched it at all since
That was most people honestly lol
Nice video! You should consider lowering the volume of the background music tho, at one point in the video it's just not possible to hear you clearly because it. 😀😀
Thank you! I’ll make sure to keep that in mind for the future!
3:47 If the cars had the same mechanics as the battle royal, damm it would have been sick
Yeah the mechanics for the mode aren’t the best. Especially the collision…
@@Twisted_Yeti in the battle royale i literally fly with the boss cars (no one does for some reason when its so easy, you just have to find a vertical wall with a bump or border on it
@@dymaz6282or use water. Istg water and cars are absolutely broken if you angle it right
I still like playing it for the rewards you get because you can also use them in rocket league and I play a lot of rocket league with my brother and the concept is also a mazing, but not many people play it😢
Yeah great concept for having everything cross over, just not great execution. Hopefully they can get the mode back on track (no pun intended) 😅
I often see people say "Just add mario kart items to make it better" but i feel like they would have to alter how the cars drive because it's so focused on speed and boosts.
Let's say they do add a mode like that and have a green shell esc item, how can you aim it at drivers who are drifting all over the place and boosting ahead.
That’s a fair point I never thought of. If they’re working on a mode similar to Mario kart for RR I’m sure they’ll figure out how. I couldn’t say how personally though 😂
Fortnite killed rocket league for a failed gamemode. They are horrible.
They did Rocket League dirty without a doubt.
if removing trading killed rocket league that says a lot more about rl than epic lol
You got a point tbh 😂
@@ajr_996 that’s definitely a fair point, but like the removal was just the final wound
I would love to love rocket racing, but I just get bored so fast. Maps are empty with no original or fun mechanic other than boost pads, they could add bouncers, moving track parts but nothing.
Driving is extremely boring and the physics don’t allow creativity. Tilting forwards and using boosters doesn’t even proper forwards more except when you are starting in speedrun mode.
They could add, dunno, something like doing a full 360 in the air gives you a boost upon landing but absolutely nothing. It’s so barebones and all the maps play the same.
What I don’t like is as you progress in ranked, the tracks don’t change much besides adding more obstacles. If it’s going to be a racing game I don’t want to fight against obstacles!
@@Twisted_Yeti I think obstacles are fun to be honest, a hybrid between a platformer and a racing game is amazing, but those obstacles are just spammed red boxes, no creativity
It’s kind of a pointless game mode like he has legit no similarities to rocket league. It’s just a racing game. And even when they dropped the creative version for players to make maps off you can still only make racing maps.
Would be cool if you could make the crazy maps like in GTA
Very good and informative video. 👍
If u could do a video talking about the other two modes that would be cool, Imo Fortnite Festival is the better mode out of the three modes Epic added
Thank you! I’m definitely interested in exploring those modes seeing a lot of you guys liked this one!
@@Twisted_Yeti you're welcome, I'll definitely be watching your other videos and staying up to date with your content. U seem like a pretty chill guy 💯👏
As someone who never touched Rocket Racing even ONCE, this video was very interesting (I have played RL once, for a couple hours and then never again)
Glad you enjoyed it! RR can be fun in moderation, but not when you started climbing the ranks in ranked mode lol
The only reason, and I mean ONLY reason people play rocket racing is just to get some extra daily xp and cosmetics, that’s pretty much it
For the most part yes. There are a few dedicated players to the mode but a very small fraction of that player base.
5:59 this change would be absolutely HUGE. id love to grind out the rocket pass by playing rocket racing to get some sick cosmetics, fingers crossed they add this🤞🤞
I really hope so! It would incentive me and many others to play more!
With the last fortnite update rocket racing experience earned overall, was increased, in everything you do in that mode.
They also recently added a metallica collab, a addias collab an a free bonus jam track reward in ranked for those that reach silver 1 in ranked.
Already reached silver in ranked? Just do one ranked race an youll automatically get the reward.
So, they are currently trying to increase the incintives to play alot more so now.
Will see if the trend continues or not soon enough.
Imo it needs to, with the extention to the season, seasoned players dont have much to play for once they get everything else.
Upside: we can all get 1 easy level up per day by just doing the rocket racinj dailies. Which only takes about 30 minites or less to do. Often its less.
I do like they’ve been doing more with the mode lately. I made this video about a month ago just released it recently which is why I didn’t cover the recent updates. Hopefully the trend reverses because I honestly like Rocket Racing. It just needs to pivot into a different direction for a chance to survive with long term success.
@Twisted_Yeti after learning this, u find it messed up that epic would push out lego skins every update by alot, and neglect rocket racing at the same time, while also letting down tons of people.
This whole time, fortnite crew has had rocket racing in it an it's not even doing ehat epic stated it would do..
Whixh is carry over all the cosmetics from rr to fn..
It's beyond messed up. An I believe alot of people just don't know the full story as to why an how this had effected us in general. Weather your a rr player or a fn one.
One way or another were getting screwed out of what we should be getting from crew an epic dont seem to want to acknowledge it even.
We deserve to have something of equal value in its place of that's the case.
Why not lego pass or festival pass. Mae's no sense for them to push lego stuff so hard an not include it in the crew when they can't meet their other obligation in regards to rr an crew..
Other than they just want to make easy money. Be lazy basically.
What I really wish is the ability to progress the rocket pass while playing rocket racing. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to. It gives you something to grind even after hitting unreal.
@@Twisted_Yeti exactly this. 💯
But atleast their now trying to fix it all. So will see. Fingers crossed 🤞
4:56 definitely agreed, I aint paying 3,500 vbucks for the lambo, to broke for that
Yeah that price is WILD!
i couldnt realy hear in the end due to the intense orchastral strings that were blasting in my ear but overall i agree with almost everything you said. Great vid
Yeah I’m sorry about that I’ll lower the volume significantly next time 😅 I appreciate you watching the video regardless!
@@Twisted_Yeti no problem. i enjoyed he vid anyway Keep it up!
I also feel that a main reason rocket racing failed was the whole idea of it. When making a racing game, there are very important attributes to add to make it successful. Since it’s Fortnite, Rocket Racing should’ve taken more of the cartoony approach like Mario kart. Mario Kart has the main focus on the drivers, which is one of the main keys to a successful racing game, memorable characters. Since we don’t see our skins the only thing we can customize is a car which not many players care about, including me. They could’ve added items to the game as well, but they took it too seriously.
Great way to put it!
I like Rocket Racing. I think it's a cool concept. But the problem here is that this mode gets hardly any attention and is splitting a community. I want it to be a mode that people enjoy and they need to rethink their strategy on how to do it.
Absolutely agree. If they had gone with a Mario kart like mode I think it would’ve done a lot better now and in the long term.
@@Twisted_Yeti if this was in Rl they could basically add the rumble items
W video, went over so much more detail I didn't even know!!!
Glad you liked it! Maybe I'll try more of these in the future 🤔
@@Twisted_Yeti Not a bad idea!
I been enjoying playing rocket racing since last year when it first came out so I don’t know why people doesn’t like this game
It’s a fun mode just very competitive. It’s really hard to grind the ranks out when you hit higher ranks like elite. Can also be respective after awhile which is understandable.
Rocket Racing to me an alright place to get XP when you're still grinding for the battle pass. That said the newest update made it so you need to do 9 daily missions to get all the quest XP. Instead of 6, which I'm not a fan of. They did increase the XP, but it means more time playing if you really want it.
I didn’t know they increased dailies from 6 to 9. Sucks that they did that. People would probably play more if they decreased that rather than increase. At least you get a tad more xp though.
Very informative video
Thank you!
In the Unreal Roadmap, a future trading feature is planned to be implemented.
Never knew that! Hopefully they go through with it!
Just for cars?
@@SosaIDK doesn’t specify, just says ‘item trading’
It's so mesmerizing watching gameplay of rocket racing from someone that actually knows how to play
This is my old gameplay too! I’m currently in Elite and almost champion. This was when I was in gold 1. So it’s a lot better than what you see here. I appreciate you saying I know how to play though 😅
What was good about Epic Games getting to own rl was that it was free to play now. But I knew stuff like this happened right when I heard that epic is buying rl from Psyonix.
Yeah it was fun to try when it went free. I was never a huge RL player but pretty sad to see how it's going because of what they want for Fortnite. Hopefully the game is in a better state eventually.
@Twisted_Yeti me and my friends were saying how epic is probably going to slowly make rocket league into fortnite and then rocket league will be like a forbidden game
I hope not. Rocket League deserves to be its own thing. Like I said in the video, I believe the racing mode should've gone in Rocket League.
@Twisted_Yeti yes, The rl community was wanting a race game mode but epic decided to put it in Fortnite which didn't really go well as attended
As a BR player, Rocket Racing is just too bland for me.
I can play a few ranked games and I’ll be so burnt out on the mode for weeks and the challenges for cosmetics are so grindy.
I don’t want to invest my time and money into a mode that is just so boring to me and I’m sure a lot of other plays feel the same.
I don’t blame you. I play Fortnite mainly for BR as well. RR is just fun to play on the side every so often. The challenges for the mode are pretty grindy, especially getting to Unreal.
i personally love rocket racing, but there is no real incentive to play it other then some cosmetics, i never really trade in rocket league either so i didn't really care personally that trading was removed, but i will never understand why epic is so against trading, if people get scammed thats completely on them, and i don't see how that would lose money for epic, in fact back in the day i remember trading was one of the main reasons some of my friends kept spending money on rocket league to get cooler items and trade for just as cool items
100% agree that RR is cosmetic driven. There’s not even a whole lot you can earn since you can’t progress the Rocket pass by playing RR. Plus the rewards you get for playing ranked aren’t crazy to begin with. Wish they would give more car bodies out, especially if you hit unreal!
Wait a second. I think I have actually raced against you in Rocket Racing in the past few weeks. Didn't expect you to be a content creator 😅
You never know who you’ll race against 😅
Thanks for taking a look at the channel though!
2:15 some of the items from the Rocket League Battle Pass are usable in Fortnite, this is wrong
Noted. Thank you for the correction!
Even as an experienced RL player, I just disliked the thought of them doing Rocket Racing.
I owed a friend a decal, and now I can't even give it to them because trading's gone 😭
Dang rip to your friend.
I got an idea on how to save rocket racing and bring the mode more life, it needs a battle mode, festival has it, and even lego has it (the pvp option), and since the focus of the season is a theme like mad max, why not, do a mode like twisted metal or carmageddon
A twisted metal mode would be lit 🔥
I recently hit unreal In Rocket Racing and it can takes up to 3 minutes to get one match to not just have enough players or you get a bad placement and lose 3% in champion
I’m currently Elite 84%. I want to hit unreal here soon. Took like a month break but about to start my grind again. Congrats on hitting unreal and wish me luck!
@@Twisted_Yeti good luck 👍
I think most of rocket racing players are only there to get the cosmetics to use in battle Royal, which without rocket racing, we would have probably have just had a variety of cars in the map
Yeah how they used to do it essentially
It’s still good for grinding! 60k xp is 3/4 of a level. And it’s better than rocket league
I do enjoy the easy xp!
At this point I think Epic should just shut down Rocket Racing and revert their decision on removing trading in Rocket League.
I don’t think they need to shut it down just take it in another direction
@@Twisted_Yeti yeah fair enough.
Rocket Racing would have better if Epic more like Mario Kart with items
The thing is the trailer showed parts where it looked like it would be a Mario kart mode! I really hope they make a mode for that in the future. Would definitely bring some life back to RR!
i swear making a good game is not only the thing you wanna do if you already have a game like fortnite which is not only known for collabs but for interaction, in rocket racing you can't even see your own skin driving or interact with anyone, is just a driving game so of course it feels out of place, like it doesn't belong between lego fortnite or festival. at least those two you can interact face to face
its an ambitious idea for the sake of making an ambitious game but without thinking about interaction, because how can you posibly make a driving game feel like youre there with others compared to hitting the griddy as your character and another players crazy character in a band?
Very true. RR is not really a fun game in terms of playing with other players. It's competitive at best in the current state it is in. If they went a different direction with the mode such as a mario kart like mode, it would be doing a lot better than it currently is in my opinion.
It's sad to see Rocket Racing fail. That's actually my favorite LTM. I enjoy it more than Festival, and Lego. I'm sure it'll either be scraped, or changed somehow.
I hope they make some changes to it. When it released I didn’t think I’d like it but it’s probably my favorite mode out of the three that launched!
I can see what you meant with a lot of the points, and I really don't have any comment.
Just to say that thereis going to be another season for Rocket Racing
I feel like you can't call them seasons at this point. Yes, we get new maps with a new theme but that's about it. Feel like they need to add a little more to justify calling it a season. That's my personal opinion.
the only false thing is that you said there was no cross ownership for rocket league pass to fortnite wich is false in the 2 last season most rocket pass item were transferable, except that good video
Thank you for the correction. I didn’t dig too much into that so that’s on me.
rocket racing was the best of the three modes and still is festival is the worst one no question ☠
Yeah, thought I'd like festival more but didn't really. Just not a rhythm game kind of guy 🤷♂️
They should have a crossplay like thing with rocket racing, where people playing rocket racing via rocket league, can race against people playing rocket racing via fortnite
That would be cool to increase player count. Sounds complicated though
@@Twisted_Yeti some modders did a thing where a minecraft and roblox server was connected to eachother, so its at least possible to do something like that
Btw you have to log in rocket League to get the rocket pass items
Thank you for pointing this out! I actually didn’t know that!
As a person who plays Fortnite and Rocket League simultaneously, this is a stupid addition to promoting Fortnite. If this and the Lego mode were gone, it wouldn't bother me one bit..
I think this goes for a lot of people at this point 😂
I have yet to receive my entire god damn rocket league inventory in fortnite
Background Music Name?
I don’t have the name for the first song I used. Found it on RUclips studio. Will try and look for it tomorrow. The second song is called “Documentary Ambient” by bdProductions. The third song is called “Demise of a Nation” by Secession Studios. If you want to use these, the second song is royalty free and the third song will most likely get claimed as it did for me. Just be careful!
I am also pissed it’s not in RL as if it was it would have been so much better as you would have to use rocket league mechanics to go faster and it would be much more skill full.
Yeah, there is definitely a lot more skill required with the rocket league mechanics. I'm not good at all in RL lol
I personally think epic is killing off rocket league.
I don't think purposefully, but the way they treat it, it sure does seem that way.
I just play it for daily challenges xp lol.
Honestly that’s me too lol
I disagree, I think for Rocket Racing to succeed it needed to be supported by Rocket League fans. Buying every colour option for a car at the prices they are sold on Fortnite is more appealing by design for Rocket League fans the problem is the removal of trading which convinced the majority of rocket league players to steer clear of Rocket Racing leaving Fortnite fans who aren’t likely to dedicate their time to a barebones arcade racer in Fortnite let alone spending upwards of $20 just for a car they *might* use in Fortnite BR
Yeah the game really needs the support of RL players to continue on. Otherwise, it'll keep headed in its current direction. Car prices also need to come down! The new Nissan Z bundle that released is 2800 vbucks wish is insane!
@@Twisted_Yeti Not as insane as the Lambo which was like 3500 vbucks

Good video but you gotta chill with the dramatic music or atleast tone it down.
I’ll admit the last one was a bit much 😂
The most popular Metaverse mode is the newest mode called Fortnite Reload and it may stay as popular as it is right now as the updates for the mode look really good meaning the most successful Metaverse modes are Fortnite Reload, Fortnite Festival, and Lego Fortnite and Rocket Racing is sat as not successful and with the Metaverse expanding with even more modes like most likely a Fall Guys mode and Fortnite is most likely getting an Open World mode most likely in ch6 that will hopefully expand on BR'S story I see Rocket Racing loosing even more players most likely leading Fortnite to discontinue the mode or add a new mode to Rocket Racing kind of like Mario Kart that has weapon attachments from the current BR season and powerups however seeing as that a bunch of people don't like the current BR season cause of the vehicles and vehicle attachments I feel like if Rocket Racing gets a mode like Mario Kart vehicle attachments shouldn't be added and only powerups should so more people actually play it the Metaverse is really good as it brought a mode I really like called Fortnite Reload
Fortnite reload is a lot of fun for sure. It's more to the tune of BR which is why I think that mode will stay popular for quite some time!
I like rocket racing , A LOT , and am not even a car guy all that match . I just like how better it gets EVENTUALLY OVERTIME and I NET if give it its time to shine it will become VERY succesful , new maps , new modes , POWERUPS , new mechanics , rocket league pass grindable IN Rocket Racing and A WHOOLE of other chaanges ! Also I ve seen the mode in prime hours and not night hours , achieving over 10l and 13 k sometimes , the mode is NOT dead yet and it wont be , if eventually the do those changes I mentioned above . Stop doing videos abou trendy topics when u dont even care about rocket racing
I assure you I do like Rocket Racing. Out of the three new modes they launched though, RR was the failure of the three. I believe it has a future if they pivot the direction they’re currently going in. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video :)
@@Twisted_Yeti Okay , then why are u STILL gold 3 , platinum is easy and yeah eventually the WILL do thoae things that I mentioned cuz they HAVE to in order to make this mode ULTRA FUN cuz even rn is fun bit if they keep updating and doing the stuff I mentioned then this mode is coming BACK
Save the world could have been a star
I'm surprised they don't give it more love with the numbers it still pulls to this day. And it's still a paid game!
Epic can easily bring it back to the mainstream by making a season themed around it and making STW free to play.
Idk why but i dont feel anymore the magic of playing fortnite today, its progressively worst, by the decisions errors of devs
I’ll admit I don’t always feel the magic of the game I first experienced, but every once in awhile. It helps to take breaks honestly.
Epic Games logic: Give love to the Rocket League community ❌ Remove core content ✅
Sound about right. They do that with BR too!
They need to make it more like Mario kart lol or something
I think that would be fun!
@@Twisted_Yeti they also needed a hint of traps like in mortal Kombats racing game and Mario kart, that would be perfect and then if they wanted to be lazy, they can let the community make maps and add them to the main playlist as long as the maps aren't copyright👍 that would save this racing mode
Yeah having player created maps would be really good for the mode. I bet a lot of people have some crazy ideas!

5thousand isn't even a little city in Scotland witch is kinda crazy there's 8 billion and 1 million playing fortnite but 5k on a fortnite made mode festival has more creative modes made by players have more so this game is deaaad
Not totally dead but will be if it keeps heading in the direction it’s going. They need to pivot such as adding a Mario kart like mode.
@Twisted_Yeti yea but epic said that they are not making a. RR season until October
Witch is kinda crazy to do
Luckily they actually changed that again. New season drops July 23rd. A little less than a month now!
@@Twisted_Yeti oh that's good
3 words: I Hate Barriers
For real! They’re so annoying!!!
Idc I still love this mode
I do as well, this is just highlighting the problems that plague the mode
@@Twisted_Yeti true but it’s still in beta a elimination mode is still being made for it
Wdym i still play rocket racing everyday
Thank you for keeping the game alive 🙏
@@Twisted_Yeti lol your welcome
Words can’t describe how much hate I have for Tim Sweeney, like NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS, these metaverse modes are the reason why Donald mustard left, I still enjoy current Fortnite but WHAT THE FUCK THESE MODES HAVE TO DO THESE MODES HAVE TO DO WITH BATTLE ROYALE!? Fortnite was supposed to be a battle royale game where you just have to be the last one standing. Epic games needs to listen to their community and get rid of the modes all together instead of this metaverse bullshit
I don’t think they need to get rid of the modes all together, but just more emphasize BR than any other mode. At the end of the day, people know Fortnite as a BR. The other modes are just a nice addition as long as they don’t become the primary focus.
@@Twisted_Yeti it would be best if they kept the modes in the game but just discontinued this, the number of players in BR compared to all of those modes combined just proves how irrelevant they are
@@LoganMonke You aren’t wrong, BR is still bringing the dough!
The last part of the video is really hard to hear with that awful dramatic music
Noted for future videos. Thank you!
All 3 modes failed really
I would agree. RR is too niche, Festival is more niche but not as much as RR. Lego would’ve been good if you didn’t have to buy virtual lego sets. Instant turn off!
@@Twisted_Yeti I feel festival fitted more Fortnite since they were already collaborating with artist, might as well showcase their songs. However seing this, is funny how you can separate the originals and the other games: festival and Lego and rocket league and fall guys. Idk if a rock band would have been better alone, but I feel it fits Fortnite just for the skins.
The one good thing with festival being in Fortnite and not a separate game itself is it will likely receive support/updates a lot longer than a stand alone guitar hero for instance.
ok but it did give me easy xp
It does when you play for awhile. I know if you do the dailies it’s roughly a free level everyday.
@@Twisted_Yeti that's why i play it daily
sonix? psyonix*
I was waiting for someone to correct me lol. Had no idea if I saw it correctly.
Good riddance honestly, now they can divert resources back into br😂😂😂😂
Yeah they’ve definitely already taken some resources away from the mode.
I could barely hear you at the end with the dramatic music draining your voice out 😭
Apologies for that. Will keep that in mind for the future. Regardless, thank you for watching!
Nah I me and the boys still play a few times a week for a few hours… y’all just suck at it
I swear I’m getting better 😅
all 3 of em failed
Not entirely but to an extent yes
Cant hear shit turn the music volume down and voice up 🫶🏾
Noted for future. Thanks!
It was never supposed to be big its just so that when BR players get bored, they still play fortnite.
it was supposed to be a halfbaked mode and thats what it is.
stop crying that it's not as big as BR
Nobody is crying that it’s not as big BR. It’s more so compared to the other modes like STW. Never expected it to be huge but not on life support this early.
@@Twisted_Yeti again, it's not on "life support". It turned out the way it was supposed to turn out, a miniscule half-baked side mode
@@Twisted_Yeti yeah u werent crying about it, u made a good analysis!
but SOME RUclipsRS were yapping being like "ohhh rocket racing failed it gets less players than BR"
I’ll agree life support is a bit dramatic and it’s not at that point. Thank you for liking the video. And honestly if RR averaged more players than BR to begin with than there are probably big problems with BR but thankfully that’s not the case 😂
@@Twisted_Yeti yeah
@twisted_yeti you pinned the dumbest comment
It is what it is 🤷♂️
Bro it's not dead no one just knows how to perform the mechanics that makes the game fun
It's not dead, just not pulling the numbers compared to the other modes. I don't think it's a bad mode I actually love the mode, but it needs to change up a bit to grow.
@@Twisted_Yeti I knowwwww 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
rocket racing is so fun 😭
I enjoy it myself, it’s just not in a good state sadly..
@@Twisted_Yeti Real
Good it sucked
I think the game mode still has potential. They just need to pivot the direction of the game!
Somebody take Fortnite away from Epic. Seriously.
I mean I don’t know who else you’d give it to that won’t make it even more micro transactions than it already is 🤷♂️
