Rocket League Honest Trailer – Welcome to FIFA 2042

Honest Trailers take a cynical but truthful look at movies and tend to point out things that are bad, and do it in a funny way. They’ve been a hit on YouTube, and now we’ve been getting them for our favourite games. In the latest Honest Game trailer below they take a look at Rocket League and point out a few truths about the game, as well as managing to recommend it too.

I do think the trailer is right when it states that one of the reasons it became so popular is that it was free on Playstation 4 through Playstation Plus, but this isn’t such a bad thing. I’m not sure just how much money this method of release will actually make, but it definitely managed to get the game noticed by people on the console, and on the PC where you actually have to play it.

The fact that it became a hit with eSports also shows the power of the game, and the fact that it actually is more fun than FIFA or PES. This is probably down to the fact that it sticks to an arcade style feel and never overcomplicates things. It gives the player the ability to pull off stunts in order to score goals, and this is where most of the “skill” is shown in all those trick videos we are seeing. Basically the cars are flipping around and getting lucky.

Take a look at the trailer, it is well worth a look and very funny. While it is harsh at times it does hit a few funny moments that will amuse you, especially when they name the game FIFA 2042.
