Rocket League's Prototype Was More Like Twisted Metal
Published on January 01, 0001
Before Rocket League, there was Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars. But there was something before that, too, and it was a pretty different game. The original pitch for Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars was called Crash Course, which looks awfully familiar to the games we know today—but focused on car combat.
The game’s developer, Psyonix, revealed gameplay footage from Crash Course back in February: There are u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ no bouncing balls to be found in Crash Course! But 
there were weapons to destroy your opponents with, and a huge focus on 
environments with ledges u31 ทางเข้า that lead to your death.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1722266205","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Oh, and GIANT TRUCKS THAT COULD CRUSH THINGS WITHOUT THINKING. That game could have been pretty cool, but it wasn’t meant to be. It somehow became a soccer game with cars. That’s quite a leap! What happened?
“We were trying out some ideas during a company 
wide idea day called Kismet Monday,” said Psyonix tech director Jerad Heck in the game’s forums. “Psyonix-Adam [Adam Beckwith, art director] dropped a ball in the game, added a few goals, and made a new genre. We u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ had so much fun with it that we couldn’t stop playing it long enough to do work, so it just became the game. And here we are almost 8 years later.”
