Rocket Racing teases fans with game trailer
The trailer Rocket Racing, which was cinematic and not a gameplay trailer, featured the iconic Octane Rocket League car showcasing boosting and aerial maneuvers as the driver raced a rival to the finish line.
Both Rocket League and Fortnite fans have been reacting mostly positively to the trailer, feeling that the “hype” for the game is building to a crescendo, interested in how the mashup of two of the world’s most popular games will turn out.
“I am more of a realistic sim racing guy,” one fan admitted but continued to state that “this genuinely looks fun. It better be split-screen for couch co-op.”
Another fan saw only “great” things in the trailer for the game: “A great game with great potential! Hope to play soon!”
Other fans agreed that the trailer looked amazing, but were quick to remind others that there was no actual gameplay, and were wary of being disappointed.
“Gotta see gameplay. High ceiling, low floor,” one player cautioned. “Hyped but wish there was gameplay,” another agreed.
Rocket Racing is expected to be released today, December 8. To keep updated with all the tips on tricks when the game releases, stay up-to-date with Dexerto’s Rocket Racing page so you can be one of the fastest racers around.
