I'm more disappointed to see Perfect Dark getting canned tbh.

Pretty sure that's on the cards. My money's on Xbox the brand becoming just Game Pass eventually.

Me too

Great work, thanks for this.

SWOS FTW

I’ll dispute that. Fired up Rocket League for the first time in a few months yesterday after a couple of hours of Rematch. First game I got into was constant abuse from a teammate against the other two of us on the team. Finished the match with double his points and still got called trash because we lost.

Tbh though I love it. Makes me laugh thinking about how angry the guy must be getting while playing.

I use Wipr on Safari on iOS. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.

It's on Gamepass if that makes any difference.

It's wild how little passing there is. Almost every time 2 or 3 passes are strung together, there's a goal. But very few people seem to understand that yet.

It's always very clear who's actually played 5-a-side in real life before. Anyone who played like 90% of Rematch players in a proper game would get an absolute bollocking from their teammates.

IMO, PES was always so much better than FIFA. Matches were slow, measured, low-scoring exercises in passing and breaking down defences. FIFA always felt like a game, whereas PES was a simulation. I’ve not played either of their descendants for years, but I’ve watched my girlfriend’s kid play FC25 and it seems far more like fucking Pokémon than a football game.

Rematch on the other hand is something else. It’s not a football game, despite its appearance. It’s a future-sports game, like Rocket League or Speedball 2. I’m enjoying it from that perspective.

Agree with the controls though, but I’m still putting that down to my own skill issues.

Haha, yeah that’s why I didn’t leave it as just “the teat” when writing it down. One of those that’s better when audible.

That’s a Murican-specific breed which you don’t find in the free world.
