Us vs. Them: Rocket League

Oh the audio. Wish i had seen this live

GBEast got totally outclassed here, haha.

big ups for the metz shirt

Pffff, in your dreams. No matter how many tv's or the sizes of the tv's, east would still be REKT by by the far superior west.

45 seconds in and we've established it: Austin is the leader of GB East as he one who immediately steps to Jeff.

Haven't watched it yet but West Coast best Coast.

West Side.

So.... Rocket League?

I just played this game for the first time today. Suddenly it was 3 hours later! It's really fun.

EDIT: Nice Metz shirt on Alex.

This...is...E-SPORTS!!!!!

Dan is pretty good at this video game stuff

East vs. West was too political?

God Damnit I love Vinny, so glad to see east and west getting together and doing something. I can't wait to see if they start doing cross-coast quick looks i miss my the real sports crew.

This should be a weekly feature, but probably won't.

Fun to watch

Kinda, but more awesome since people are even more mobile / agile. Although they don't have rockets. Maybe what this calls for is some sort of sci-fi version of soccer where you strap rockets to the players. What I'm saying is Rocket League is really cool, but this ain't even Soccer's final form.

Awesome

Man Vinny killed me with the "devil" voice at the beginning!

I guess(since no one in the comments or the video) mentioned it being a problem I am left to assume that the ping difference between the East and West didn't play any part in this destruction? I'm guessing it's different from say a FPS or maybe more likely is I have no idea what a difference of 50 ping would do in a game.

Either way I'd like to see the East be the hosts for the inevitable rematch, just for fairness sake and to remove any doubt... if East wins and ties it up maybe film the tie breaker next time they are all in the same place?

@ehbunner: 50ms isn't enough to blame for 9-1

Despite being an unbelievable stomp, this was a whole lot of fun.

Guys, please do this again. More Us vs. Them. It's all I want.

does Rocket League even get played?

Great video, guys. While I'm sure the connection issues at the beginning were frustrating, I found myself really enjoying that bit too, if only because I've done the same "what if we try to publicly matchmake to each other at exactly the same time" dance before with way too many games.

My only complaint is that when the East team's call quality started going bad, none of them issued any commands to "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE". Seems like a missed opportunity.

@blackout62: By leader you mean the whiniest guy on the team? Followed oh so fucking closey by Alex mind you. Fuck me those two were painful to listen to at times.

That being said this seems like a pretty badass feature. Hope we get some more west vs east action.

This was AMAZING! I hope we get more West vs East multiplayer madness!

That was awesome!!! Please make this a regular show :D:D Also GBeast get that other ps4 hooked up asap, we need some competition here! :)

Glued to my seat despite the one-sidedness. Please do more!

Watch it with the chat for the ultimate viewing experience.

So Mario Strikers Charged?

What is "cat-bex" or "cap-ex?"

Willing to bet Dan somehow found the handicap system and made himself better by cheating.

Never forget.

People are more mobile and agile than ROCKET POWERED CARS? Can you fly in to the air, do a 360 spin and nose dive into the ball?

Love the game, love the crew, great quick look! Can't wait for more West vs Beast stuff!

That last match -unreal.

I don't think you've seen any high level Rocket League play. It's fucking insane.

@valeo: Interesting, I mean, really I figured it couldn't of had that much of a impact given none of the GBeast guys even mentioned it, and if it did make a difference I'm sure in one of the replays they would have noticed like you do watching COD killcams

I guess it was just hard to believe that they didn't win a single game out of 11 when they didn't seem to be playing too much worse(if at all) then the West coast guys, maybe that's just because we weren't watching off of their screens at any point

Either way thanks for the anecdotal information certainly puts any of my doubts to rest!

Hope to see GBeast have a better showing next time

Capex. Capital expenditures, expenditures on permanent equipment.

Vinny said it, presumably he's been trying to spend a lot of company money on new equipment at GBeast and he's making jokes about getting those expenditures approved. Presumably that goes through Jeff who is the boss of all these people.

For example, another display and PS4 for Gbeast so they can stop playing split screen would be capex.

Likely, it's just Vinny joking that winners get to buy some toys for themselves with company money.

Clearly the West won because they were LPBs in this match, 20-30ms ping vs the East with a miserable ~70ms from what I could see. 3x!

</sarcasm>

This is exactly the kind of brilliance I expect from Giant Bomb. Bravo!

Bring on the East Coast/West Coast beef!

Not letting players host their own servers is bullshit.

East Coast, East Coast, East Coast.

Even though I've never been and I'm from England. :D

@lawgamer: Rocket League, bloody hell.

Also, I hope we get to see more of this kind of features. This was brilliant.

I hope they keep doing it :)

Alex's salt, best salt.

Giant Bomb vs Giant Bomb, the real winner is Giant Bomb.

Goddamn no coast free agents ruining the game!

That was too funny. More of this series please!

This is a really great idea for a feature. They've got the technology down so you don't really notice any delay, and the in-house competitive TNTs were always the best TNTs. Having this in the rotating schedule of free Wednesday shows along with Ranking the Fighters and Old Games Show seems perfect.

Also, Dan showing how it's done in this video!

Great stream. Hopefully we're going to see more stuff like this in the future. What I'd really love to see is some sort of multiplayer Flight Club action between Drew and Vinny.

PS: The title made me think of this song.

West or East, seems to me like they're both Boast Coasts.

Just like in hip hop and rap, west coast best coast.
