After a rather peculiar and unexpected last-minute two-week delay – of which both
the developer and their PR team remained unaware until after the event - Psyonix Studios have announced that
Supersonic
 Acrobatic
Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is now available across Europe for
download on the PlayStation Network on the PLAYSTATION3 computer
entertainment system.
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars features
several unique rocket-powered cars with incredible physics-based
manoeuvrability, including the ability to rocket into the air or
accelerate at supersonic speeds on the ground by racing over boost
strips, obtaining boost capsules or by performing a rapid succession
of acrobatic flips. While in the air, cars can roll, flip, jump,
dodge or spin in a freestyle fashion. In the team-based football
game, players manoeuvre their vehicles to perform breathtaking
saves, awe-inspiring shots and of course achieve supersonic speeds
that literally turn your opponents into scrap metal. These
abilities, combined with the players' own creativity and skill
create a unique and thrilling experience every time.
The European release of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered
Battle-Cars will also include the recent US update that saw the
addition of new features as well as a new Battle-Car arena.
Features included in recent update:
* Improved performance in network games
* A server browser has been added during matchmaking
* Players can now view Leaderboards during matchmaking
* News updates appear on the online page
* Meters added to evaluate players' connection speed
* Headsets can be plugged-in or swapped during gameplay
*At absolutely no cost to the player "Cosmic," the newly added
arena, presents a brand-new challenge to Supersonic Acrobatic
Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars combatants by integrating
quarter-pipe ramps that lead up to each of the goals. Gamers will be
graced with the majestic view of deep-space as the arena orbits a
beautiful yet mysterious uncharted planet. Like other Supersonic
Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars arenas, "Cosmic" places the
focus on teamwork and communication, but never lets fun fall in
second place.
"We've really been looking forward to releasing Battle-Cars
in Europe," said Dave Hagewood, Founder/Development Director of
Psyonix Studios. "In addition, we have already begun planning for
community-based events and challenges that will pit gamers against
developers!"
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars' wide-ranging
community involvement is supported through team and league play, as
well as extensive and thorough statistical tracking, rankings and
rewards for individuals and teams, including support for
PLAYSTATION3 system Trophies.
The game features three single player modes as well as team and
league matches and scrimmage matches online. Using the full featured
in-game video editor, players have the ability to save, upload and
share their amazing triumphs and hysterical battle-car antics to
their PLAYSTATION3 system hard-drive or upload
clips directly to YouTube.
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is available
now as a free trial featuring both offline and online gameplay with
full version players. The trial version can be updated to the full
version for only £7.99 on the PlayStation Network. |
