DMY format edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Since the subject's developer is an American company, the article will use American English and will use the American month/date/year date notation. ‑–—Mr. Guye (talk) 06:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Can anybody explain why this article wants to use DMY date format, but the American version of the sport name (soccer)? Who or what decides the date format anyway, is it first come, first serve or what? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:36, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • No, no, you make a good point. Consistency in regional formats is desirable, let's use MDY. The hidden comments should stay though, for the benefit of the drive-by IP editors.  · Salvidrim! ·  20:40, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Alright, was just making sure, since consistency is a form of quality in regards to a Wikipedia article. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:44, 19 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Please, have a read to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Formats Shankao (talk) 03:37, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
    • I get that, but that doesn't explain why the article used the American word (soccer), but the non-American date format, despite the company being based here. You wouldn't expect to see MDF on the article on aussie rules, would you? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 06:07, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
      • I originally used DMY when starting the article because of personal preference and because I think the U.S.'s MDY is an abomination, but I agree that because this is an American dev, MDY should be used, along with U.S. ENGVAR such as "soccer" instead of "football".  · Salvidrim! ·  06:10, 25 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Music section? edit

Wasn't there a section for the soundtrack? What happened to it? Osh33m (talk) 01:17, 31 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Removed due to it's non-notability, which dates back to a consensus a few months back. I would have personally kept it, but I don't run the article. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 01:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Can you link me to the consensus? I for one feel that it is much worse off without the soundtrack listed. Osh33m (talk) 15:02, 1 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
WT:VG/A106#Soundtrack listings.  · Salvidrim! ·  15:11, 1 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Seconded. Why waste a free cover art, considering the strict policy which most of game studios take and that do not usually release content under a free license? Hakken (talk) 17:44, 1 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
So how do we vote to get the soundtrack back? Especially now since the update added to it? Osh33m (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
We don't? Soundtrack listings are not within the scope of articles like this one. If you disagree with the consensus linked above, feel free to start a new discussion on WT:VG to see if a new discussion would reach the same conclusion or not.  · Salvidrim! ·  04:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Dissident93: @Osh33m: @Salvidrim!: @Hakken: I'd like to revisit this discussion, per the announcement made by Monstercat 2 weeks ago about a partnership, as well as a future update that would include what is called "Rocket League Radio," and would like feedback on whether this announcement is notable to include in this article. The announcement is already included in the mentioned article as notable to the label. Jd02022092 (talk) 15:22, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Jd02022092: my opinion hasn't changed from 2 years ago. I never agreed that the soundtrack was non-notable from the start so count me in for returning it to the article along with the "Rocket League Radio" you speak of. Osh33m (talk) 15:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
As prose? Sure. But with a track listing? Still gotta say no. If Chrono Trigger and the GTA games don't have them in their base articles, it doesn't belong here either. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 22:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
I'm sure whoever removed the section deserves credit for using WP:GAMECRUFT #15 as a reason for removal, though. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) 04:41, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
Not sure if this is sarcasm? If Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VII, which are often called some of the best soundtracks in any game, can't have a tracklisting in their articles due to the policies, how would Rocket League be the exception? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 04:53, 25 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Platform edit

The platform section links to the computing platform article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_platform which defines computing platform as: "a pre-existing piece of computer software or code object is designed to run within, obeying its constraints, and making use of its facilities."

Please help me understand how it makes use of linux's facilities, is designed to run in linux, or obey's it's constraints.

Also, please check here for how emulation does not satisfy platform req: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Platform-only_cats_.26_emulation I agree this is only tangentially related because it's not talking about purely games that have been announced but not released; however it does show that even if a game is somehow PLAYABLE it doesn't belong unless it's officially supported. Surely emulation on a game in linux is closer to making use of linux's facilities than an announcement. Arwineap (talk) 13:43, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Just like many other games, this game can and will be ported to Linux. Since this game is made in Unreal Engine 3, it can be exported natively to run on Linux distributions. It is in no case necessary to know how it works if you are not into IT, but if it is officially going to be on Linux and OS X, it has to be added to the platforms tag. Lordtobi () 13:50, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
The fact that it's an unreal engine does give hope to the announcement of linux; however the game has not been compiled for linux, or even released for opengl on non-console platforms. Furthermore it was on unreal engine before the announcement for linux, so if unreal engine fills the requirement for "making use of facilities" then the annoucement should have never been a pre-req and we should go edit every unreal engine game claiming linux as a supported platform. I think that the argument for adding linux to platforms would be stronger if the publisher announced a real release date, or hadn't pushed it back a couple times already Arwineap (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
You don't seem to get the point. The game was made in Unreal Engine, meaning that developer Psyonix could compile it for Linux and OS X whenever they want. They have stated repeatedly that Linux and OS X builds are "in the works" meaning that they are implementing compatability and doing extensive testing, which is only delayed by the content updates for Windows and PlayStation 4. So it has been announced that the game will be on OS X and Linux, and with that, it belongs into the platforms section. It is regardles of how or for what the game was released, it is the matter of what is official and what is not. Lordtobi () 14:09, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Capable of being compiled for does not fill the require of platforms as defined by the article cited, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_platform - Here's the list of unreal engine games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games - If the requirement is that the underlying ENGINE supports the platform, we need to edit a number of games' platforms. I agree that the publisher has announced future linux support, but an announcement alone is not enough to fill the definition, and furthermore it was originally specified for the end of 2015. Arwineap (talk) 14:18, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
In how far does it not "fill the definition"? The platform tag serves for officially released and officially announced platforms (if not officially canceled). There is nothing more to it. Lordtobi () 14:23, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please go re-read what the section `platform` links to; no where on that wiki does it talk about 'announcing' a platform, because that's simply not what the word is defined as. I'll link it for you again, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing_platform
So you do not seem to understand it general, the platform tag in the {{Infobox video game}} template directs to an Article about computing platforms. No article is a guideline of what to fill into a template, guidelines to those are found on the template itself. If you are new to Wikipedia, you have to get going with how it works before accusing anyone else of doing something wrong, so please read Wikipedia's five pillars and the {{Infobox video game}} template instead of performing edit warring. Lordtobi () 14:34, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the link to the infobox, I agree that this has a better definition for what platform should be. "The unabbreviated console or operating system for which the game was specifically developed. This includes dedicated ports, but not games in emulation or services" - This game, rocket league, has no port for linux which was specifically developed. Thus far it has only been specifically developed for windows. It may use an engine that supports linux; but it clearly does not have a specific port. Arwineap (talk) 16:46, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Even if it has not been released yet, the Linux, OS X and Xbox One ports are being developed for specifically. Time takes no prisoners for that matter, wheter it was in the past, right now, or in the future. If it is official and is being developed for, it fits to just that. Lordtobi () 17:02, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
The port has not been developed, it has been announced. The release date section listing the port as TBD is satisfactory to inform readers of the publisher's hard work on the game. Arwineap (talk) 17:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
It is being developed, thus they apply. There is no reason not to include it apart from your peronal opinion, which does not count. Lordtobi () 17:21, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've signed us up for some counseling; maybe a third party can help us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Rocket_League.23Platform Arwineap (talk) 19:32, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
With respect, but if you aren't yet able to properly wikilink something, you are definetly too new to Wikipedia to decide over more experienced users. Signing up for third-party opinions is not necessary at all since there is only one way to have it: "with announced-only" and "without announced-only". In this case, you represent the second party. And I have given multiple reasons why I am correct and it is basically the same all over Wikipedia. I saw you tried the same on Goat Simulator in mid-2014, which resulted in a revert as well. So, please, stop trying to through your own opinion about something fixed. Lordtobi () 20:17, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Was your last reply about me or about the content? It's not really about MY opinion, it's about the definition and clarity of the word platform. A third opinion is clearly needed because this dicussion has stopped being about the content, and has started being about edit-counts. Arwineap (talk) 15:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I really don't get your issue with them being listed. The source for them both being announced is here, and we've always listed platforms that were officially announced. Should we remove platforms from games that have yet to be released? Silly this is even up for discussion. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:00, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Agreeing with Dissident93, both this talk as well as the dispute resolution way are nonsense. Lordtobi () 21:06, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
For the record, we do use Linux instead of SteamOS as a platform right? Pretty sure I saw somebody else say we should, but don't think it was ever made official. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
SteamOS is just a Linux distribution, most people nowadays use distributions like Ubuntu, but, yes, Linux defines the operating system platform for Linux-based OS and Linux itself and, thus, is to be used. Lordtobi () 21:24, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, that's what I thought. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Not only does an announcement not fit the definition of platform, but it's just lip service to the linux community; no work has been publically done or released, just a twitter post, and maybe a blog honorable mention. The annoucement of the linux port has been clearly edited to be shown as a future release date, so why is it acceptable to falsely claim that the software is able to run on linux? It's not true. Readers have an expectation of what platform means, because it's a word clearly defined: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Platform-only_cats_.26_emulation and Computing_platform Arwineap (talk) 15:23, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
It is not what makes a platform, but what is implied by the guidelines. I admit that it was stated somewhat unclearly in the template documentation, so I tried to change it, which is currently up for discussion. Outcome of the discussion over at "Announced platforms" will give the final result of what is currently up for discussion on this page. Lordtobi () 22:09, 2 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
Though SteamOS is a Linux distribution, marketing wise, Valve market it as SteamOS. The same way that Sony market its FreeBSD platform as PlayStation 4. I do not want to list all the distributions, but I do want to list platforms that the normal consumer can recognize and this includes SteamOS. I believe that SteamOS should be part of the list because it is marked so. Else, should Android also be listed as xLinu on a mobile wiki page? People refer to Android because it is such a recognized brand name. Lets help the normal consumer here and add SteamOS please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deragon (talkcontribs) 17:21, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
You are going to need to ask WP:VG for that. And SteamOS can run any Linux game natively and vice versa, which is not the case for Android games on SteamOS/Linux. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:57, 22 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

A psyonix dev said that Rocket League was not based on the Onslaught game mode edit

Currently it says "Rocket League is a sequel to Psyonix's Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, released in 2008 for the PlayStation 3, itself an idea based on the Onslaught game mode introduced in Unreal Tournament 2004."

but Psyonix-Jerad said in the forums "We actually designed and created the Onslaught Mode in UT2004, and all of the vehicles in UT2004, UT3, Gears of War, and UE4. No, Rocket League (or SARPBC) is not inspired by that mod. That mod is great, but the idea came of it's own."

he also mentions an original game, or prototype, called Crash Course.

MrMonstr (talk) 15:32, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

We can't use forum posts, but I understand the point, and I think it's just the summary terseness that is confusing. It's clear from the body that the only real connection is that they started to try to make a game using Unreal vehicles in some manner. --MASEM (t) 15:44, 7 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

EA turned down Rocket League edit

This article could be of interest for us, however, I currently do not have the time to insert the information. @Dissident93 maybe? Lordtobi () 09:19, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Didn't see this originally, but I could find a way to word it into the dev section. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:45, 18 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hollywood Principle edit

@Dissident93: HP had been a part of the article until a source had stated that Mike Ault is a part of it, when it was removed before prior consensus. The current lineup includes five tracks from HP, of 22 songs, 15 are by Ault, 5 by HP, 1 by Kevin Riepl, and 1 by Adam B. Metal. (src) According to the infobox template, major composers are to be added; obviously, Ault is the major-est composer, but HP also a major role with slightly over 20% of the songs contributed. The main question is now, is HP to be added although Ault is part of it? In my opinion, yes. Since there are more people involved in HP than just Ault. Lordtobi () 12:35, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The only thing that to me stands out is that I would think composed songs are those specific for the game, and not previously released tracks incorporated into the soundtrack (as that requires no additional "contribution"). Now, I think I remember that HP did compose some new songs for the game, but that should be affirmed before including that; some of HP's songs do appear to be previously releases so we have to make that distinction. --MASEM (t) 13:46, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
Well you can't really confirm that Ault wasn't the only composer for HP, so I don't think they should be added due to that. Just assuming otherwise would be WP:OR and unverifiable, wouldn't it? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:19, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The players can also pick up a speed boost by passing their cars over marked spaces on the field, enabling them to quickly cross the field, use the added momentum to hit the ball, or ram into another player's car to destroy it; in the latter case, the destroyed car respawns moments later. A player may also utilize boost when in the air to propel themselves forward in flight, allowing players to hit the ball in the air.

    Gameplay should be illustrated and Development will also be in need of this once its current image is appropriately moved to Reception.
  7. Overall: It is clear to me that Rocket League is not ready for GAN right now. Knowing what needs to be done, however, will make the next review go much smoother.

Question edit

Cognissonance, what do you mean by "write in the past tense" in your review? Dat GuyTalkContribs 11:05, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

@DatGuy: Here's an example: "the simple core concepts belied the game's true depth, which stemmed from a developed understanding". Cognissonance (talk) 12:46, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Does that fit though? In "the simple core concepts", it refers to the concepts of Rocket League. As such, I believe that is the correct way to say it. Are there any GOCE members here for a 3rd opinion? Dat GuyTalkContribs 13:37, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Just dropping a quick note to say that the present tense is correct in this case. It's similar to how fictional works like books are discussed. The related concepts are considered to exist in perpetuity, so past tense is unnecessary. —Torchiest talkedits 23:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
I always say that imagine if this game was released a hundred years ago. Would most of the tense still feel "right"? Having the article written mostly in past tense is safer, and I don't think it violates any policy. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:47, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
OTOH, whether a game was released yesterday or a hundred years ago, it still exists in the present. You don't say the Mona Lisa "was a painting" -- it still is.  · Salvidrim! ·  19:31, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Specifically here we are talking about the reviews. And I would think that in time reviews age where they can longer be talked about in present tense.

Well the game concepts part, "the simple core concepts belie the game's true depth, which stem from a developed understanding," using the present tense, is in agreement with the present perfect tense used in the rest of that paragraph, e.g. "Rocket League has received" and "Some have pointed out". —Torchiest talkedits 17:08, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Of course, as the type of media is something that won't ever change, but reception and legacy of it could, and should be written as past tense just to be safe. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 18:36, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply


Toxic community? edit

I don't think there is evidence that this game is more or less toxic than other similar sized online games. The mention of toxic community leads the reader to believe this a bigger than usual problem with Rocket League. It should come with a comparison or be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.115.116.45 (talkcontribs)

I have removed the line. In review the source it was attached to, it was difficult to find it justified by the source , which was Kotaku's generally positive review of the game, noting only a few nits with initial connectivity issues and some smack between players but in no way denouncing the game or calling it toxic. --MASEM (t) 13:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Linux and Mac releases edit

Where is the announcement of these versions being officially released out of beta later this year? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Linux and Mac versions are identical with the Windows version, despite still being in "beta". As it's highly unlikely that it will actually have an official release now, does anybody think it's fine if we just include September 8, 2016, as the release date in the infobox? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I concur with the proposal to list September 8, 2016 as the Mac/Linux release date. The game is fully operational on the Mac as far as I can tell. You might consider adding a (beta) tag after the date to indicate that the release is not "official". Uncle Dick (talk) 02:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Not sure where the "end of 2017" official release date claim is from, but if one is not given by the end of this year, we should probably just go with your proposal or just a flat September 8. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:42, 17 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Publishers edit

Is the Publishers section accurate? I believe Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Published the Physical editions, at least the EU switch version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocket-League-Collectors-Edition-Switch/dp/B078KBC3QD 81.149.182.210 (talk) 02:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

There's a lot of different retail publishers, so to simplify we've avoided listing them all; the game's original release remains digital and done by Psyonix themselves. --Masem (t) 02:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
The lines between publisher and distributor are rather blurry, so if we do not have a specific publishing claim for a company that brought games to retail (in our case, under license from Psyonix), we should just leave them out (as the distributor infobox field was removed from the template some time ago).

Proposal to change the artwork featured in {{Infobox video game}} edit

I'm proposing a change to feature this artwork as the article's lead image in {{Infobox video game}}. It's an official artwork used for the game, being used for the storefront and packaging of the game's digital and physical releases on Xbox One and Microsoft Store, and physical releases on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. This artwork will be more useful to a reader in identifying immediately the game the article is written about. The game's art style, and event a hint of its gameplay are telegraphed in this image, along with its setting; things that are only either vaguely or not at all hinted at in a simple display of the game's logo. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 03:11, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Notes for GA reviewer edit

I'd like to state my preference for any potential GA reviewer for this article to use {{xt}}, {{!xt}}, or any colour or formatting templates extensively when jotting down their points in the review. This way, my replies to those points, and replies to my replies, can be clearly distinguished between the main point and other main points of the review. I would also like to request that each point be numbered from start to finish in order, with the numbering scheme continuing contiguously through all the sections of the review. This way, I can cite in my edit summaries, in the revision history of the article, which edits pertain to which points of the review. Thanks for your understanding! :) – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 04:57, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Development
  Done – Unlinked as requested, though I should note that I'm of the opinion that each new section should be a refresh for wikilinks, since most readers would only be reading particular sections, and not the article as a whole.

  • They had at one point considered having Rocket League as a free-to-play title with potential microtransactions, following along with how games like Valve Corporation's Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2 had achieved success.[26] Though they had put in efforts for this free-to-play model, they opted to switch to sell the game once and offer only cosmetic elements as downloadable content, assuring that no players would have any additional advantage beyond their own skill.[28] Too many uses of "they"; needs copyediting.
  Done – I've reworded and clarified the passage as follows: Psyonix had at one point considered having Rocket League as a free-to-play title with microtransactions, inspired by Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2's free-to-play systems.

Reception
  • Rocket League, upon release and throughout its lifetime, has been given positive reviews by video game critics. Positive feedback was aimed towards the game's multiplayer gameplay, and its graphics and visuals, especially in comparison to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars; later reviews praised the player experience in the game. Criticism was mostly aimed at the game's physics engine, though a consensus on the issue has been mostly unclear, with some defending the engine. This entire statement is unsourced. You also don't need to link to Supersonic again, and issue is a word that should be avoided (see Wikipedia:Euphemism).
  Partly done – Wikilink and wording issues have been resolved (issuetopic), but I do not agree with the assertion that the lead paragraph is unsourced. It's a lead; it is a summary of the nitty-gritty of the "Critical reception" section. Everything mentioned in this paragraph is further detained and cited further in the section below. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 18:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@PhilipTerryGraham: Anything that can be challenged requires a direct reference. That's why I'm requesting this. Also, the Metacritic scores are listed in prose, which is unnecessary—the qualitative summary is much more helpful on its own (WP:MOSVG#Reception). JOEBRO64 18:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@TheJoebro64: Okay, how do you suggest going about doing this? The only way I can think of is literally chucking the existing citations into the lead, and I think things like "[127][128][129][130][131]" would be quite the ugly sight. I also need clarification on what the problem is with how Metacritic is represented in prose. Does it go into too much detail, or can it be better worded, or something else perhaps? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 18:52, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@PhilipTerryGraham: I know it looks ugly, but per Wikipedia policy that's what you should do (maybe not that many, though—between two and four should be good). As for Metacritic, just say something like "According to the review aggregator Metacritic, all versions of Rocket League received "generally favorable reviews"". JOEBRO64 19:00, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
  Partly done – I've employed a new strategy that I just improvised now, where I use an {{efn}} note to house all the citations supporting the broad claims made in the lead section. However, I disagree with the removal of important information in regards to the Metacritic score itself. If film and music articles can have aggregate scores featured, why not video game articles, especially when most video game articles do already? The Metacritic score is quite important to a lot of readers. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 19:22, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Rocket League Championship Series edit

@M00036: I don’t see a problem with it, as long as the article is substantial and any relevant content on the Rocket League article is properly truncated, summarised, and linked to a new “Rocket League Championship Series” article with a {{Main article}} or {{See also}} hatnote. From what I’ve seen from the past year and a half of scrolling through video game news websites, I feel that it has notability on par with the likes of the Overwatch League and Smite World Championship, and far greater than the likes of the Call of Duty Championship.

Italicizing video game titles, in the titles of cited works edit

The Rocket League name is part of the text of the title of dozens of this article's cited works. (For example, the title of a cited Gamespot.com article might be "Everyone Loves Rocket League.") Sometimes, in the titles of these cited works, Rocket League is italicized; sometimes it's enclosed in single-quotes; sometimes it is not set off by any special typography.

I could not find a Wikipedia style guide instruction, regarding whether to italicize the title of a video game when it appears in a cited work's title, and does not conform (as it is written, on the cited work's own off-Wikipedia web page) to Wikipedia-standard italicization practices. In the absence of clear style-guide instructions, I have italicized all such video game titles that occur in this article's cited works' own titles.

My reasoning for doing so stands upon three things:

  1. our directive, as editors, to "Be bold"
  2. a desire to not allow the irregular, improper (and most probably unintentional) mistakes in other websites' typography to be repeated here
  3. the relatively minor nature of the change—since the application of italicization to words, in the format in which cited works' titles appear here in a Wikipedia article's cited-work link, does not change the textual construction, or the semantic meaning, of the cited work's title —catsmoke (talk) 12:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
We generally have not done that but its not to say its wrong: if you take a title of an article as a quotation, theN MOS:QUOTE applies, and specifically MOS:CONFORM, which states "Generally preserve bold and italics (see § Italics), but most other styling should be altered. Underlining, spac ing with in words, colors, ALL CAPS, small caps, etc. should generally be normalized to italics or (rarely) boldface. For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, add italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles." I know the first part of that is applied all the time to title (thanks, IGN) so there's no reason the second would not apply too. --Masem (t) 13:18, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, for your prompt input, and for the information you've shared. I agree that MOS:CONFORM covers this situation (although I think you've not quoted the part most salient to this particular circumstance), and I interpret it as supporting what I did, and calling for such editing as being correct and desirable (and closely relating with my point number two, above). Unfortunately, my edit has already been reverted. The reasoning of the editor who did so, according to his description in his Edit summary, was not sound. He has made an error, by reverting my work. Yet I'm not inclined to try to persuade him of the facts, which are that my contribution was both proper and also improved the article in a way which was subtle yet still significant. I appreciate the attention that this matter received. —catsmoke (talk) 15:46, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Citations on opinions edit

@Dissident93 and TheJoebro64: So Metro has been flagged as a potential unreliable source over at Wikipedia:Reliable sources. However, a Metro citation was used here to cite an opinion on a video game, not a fact, but was removed anyways. Opinion ≠ verifiable fact, and we need as many opinions from notable published sources to gauge a critical consensus around the game for the "Reception" section. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 00:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Unreliable source, meaning we should avoid using it as much as possible. Besides, it not like what was removed was critical to the article, it was just some guy's opinion in a section where we already have plenty of that. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 03:45, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • I agree with Dissident—if Metro is unreliable, we shouldn't be using it. It's good to have a meaty reception section but it doesn't need to be a comprehensive list of every review the game received. I'd only support keeping it if the author was someone notable (like Jim Sterling, for instance), but even that would be sort of a stretch. JOEBRO64 01:51, 18 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • We would allow Metro to be used under WP:RSOPINION even if the work is deemed unreliable. That said, the video game review box is not to stuff every review possible but should be the top 5 to 7 + aggregators to give a flavor of the review scores. At this stage, Metro would be unnecessary. --Masem (t) 02:09, 18 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Pysonix's justification for dropping Linux/Mac support is stated as if it were fact edit

Currently, the article says "[...]could not justify keeping these as supported platforms as they advanced the other platforms to newer technology, such as moving the Windows version from DirectX 9 to 11, with macOS and Linux lacking anything equivalent."

I would appreciate if the article pointed out that this justification isn't based in facts. I'm posting here instead of doing it myself because I feel I have a conflict of interest in this case, using Linux myself. I also don't know what it should say exactly, but I'm fairly certain OpenGL has the same features as DirectX 11, and the game already used OpenGL on Linux. Vulkan could also be mentioned, which is equivalent with DirectX 12. Reply to me here if you want to discuss this further before changing anything.

Thanks.

Semi-protected edit request on 10 March 2022 edit

The following information is intended to be placed as a new subheading between the "Gameplay" and "Development" subheadings. This new Subheading, entitled "Matchmaking System," is related to the to adjacent subheadings, but goes into more detail pertaining to Rocket League specifically. Although this system is also used in other online video games, each has their own way of implementing the system into their own games in unique ways. This subheading details how Rocket League utilizes this system within its game.

  Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. This seems like it would be a bit WP:UNDUE. Also, the first source you provided is a primary source which isn't something you should be using for something like this. Good idea, however you should probably discuss this a bit more first. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 23:06, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Matchmaking System Rocket League uses an MMR (“Matchmaking Rating”) system to determine how games are formed between players. A player is placed against another player who is deemed to be of the same skill level as them based on similar a MMR between the two. The MMR of a player correlates with the rank awarded to a player. In the ranked playlists, players can be placed in either Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Grand Champion, or Supersonic Legend. Each rank has three tiers within them, with each rank being at the first tier and working towards the third tier (ex: players start at Bronze I; as their MMR increases, they get moved up to Bronze II, then Bronze III, then Silver I, and so on). Additionally, within each rank tier there are four divisions, starting at the first division and working towards the fourth division (ex: winning moves you from Bronze III to Bronze IV; if you win enough, you will then move from Bronze IV to Silver I, and so on). The only exception to this is the rank Supersonic Legend, which is a standalone rank with no tiers or divisions within it. All playlists within Rocket League use the system of MMR. However, casual playlists do not display MMR in-game or via rank emblems such as in the ranked or extra mode playlists. Winning or losing a game will increase or decrease a player’s MMR, respectively. On average, a player gains or loses eight MMR per game won or lost. However, the exact MMR change of a player is determined by the other player(s) in the game lobby. If a player competes against a team with a higher average MMR, the player will lose less MMR than average in the case of a loss or gain more MMR than usual in the case of a win. The inverse is true if playing against a team with a comparatively lower average MMR. The top 100 highest ranked players for each competitively ranked game mode are displayed on a global leaderboard. These leaderboards display the players global rank, in-game name, and skill rating (MMR). As a reference, the ranks are displayed to the right of the leaderboards, although often times, all players on the leaderboard are Supersonic Legend. At the end of each competitive season, a player’s rank is reset to a predetermined MMR level. Season rewards are distributed to players at the conclusion of each season as they correlate with the player’s rank, as determined by his or her rank. Rewards come in the form of in-game cosmetic items, such as decals, wheels, and other customization options. Additionally, players who achieved the ranks of Grand Champion or Supersonic Legend receive exclusive in-game tags that can be equipped to display the rank they achieved in the former season. However, it should be noted that players who are suspected to have cheated or used questionable methods to achieve wins in an inappropriate method will be reviewed by the Rocket League employees and potentially denied rewards, as well as receive further punishments.
