Now here is something which has peaked my curiosity. This morning in my email in box I find that Psyonix has decided to release the Rocket League sound track. But, Psyonix being Psyonix they arent releasing it any normal way. Oh no, istead its coming out on a series of very unique, awesome looking vinyls. They will partner with iam8bit to release 3xLP’s later this summer.

Wait Records?

Yes that’s correct, Vinyl pressed records. The kind that the needle goes round on and makes the sound. So, here’s the deal. Created in partnership with pop culture retailers and creative house, iam8bit, The Vinyl Collection features custom artwork by Rocket League® community member, Dan Bronsema, who has illustrated both the front and back gatefolds of the album. The illustrations of this album are amazing, and the actual vinyl is going to 128 gram, so SUPER heavy. You wont have to worry about dropping this one and breaking it.

And just feast your eyes on how pretty these are! The attention to detail is great. I love how they used tired for the covers, and how each one has unique print on it. The art thats printed on the fold out is also beautiful, it features community membe Dan Bronsema. fans can pre-order the The Vinyl Collection starting today RIGHT HERE I know I for one will be picking it up 75$ for a piece of art like this is a real deal for any rocket league lover.

why are you reading all the way down here? This is just the end of the article, there isitn anything of real use here. I just put words on paper or I guess in computers, since no one is using paper anymore. Instead of reading this go play some video games! Oh you wanted the track list ok. Here you go

Developer Psyonix’s amazing super powered ultra fast sports racing car game is crazy fun. Dont belive me? Read my review or check my steam library and see all the play time. However it also seems that at least according to the Wall Street Journal its also crazy profitable. In an interview with the WSJ Psyonix said ““Rocket League” has raked in nearly $50 million in revenue and amassed more than 8 million registered players since its July launch on PC’s and Ps4s”

This is pretty unprecedented for an indie game from a small studio with out a backing by a major publisher. the report also details how Psyonix spent over two years and a figure close to two million dollars to develop Rocket League. That figure is quite large for a studio considered by many to be an “indie”. When asked how they manged studio founder Dave Hagewood said ” “We paid the bills by working on some of the biggest games in the industry, including Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War.”

Perhaps most interesting is that the article also tell us that the most recent addition to Rocket league, the famed deloran of Back to the Future, was not something Psyonix sought out. Rather Universal (the studio that owns the property) came to them and said we want to work one of our properties in to your game, lets get a deal made. Hagewood added, “It didn’t really sink in until they told me they had to get Steven Spielberg’s approval.” and when it comes to additions to an already existing great game the hits just keep on coming for Psyonix. Since adding the Delorian, Psyonix has done a deal with Bethesda to add the Vault Boy from Fallout 4 to the game, and more recently it added a pile of holiday goodies through an update that includes antlers, Christmas trees, and Snow Day, an unranked three-on-three play style that trades the giant soccer ball for a giant hockey puck.

No doubt there are many more planned additions to this already amazing game, and I personally cant wait to see what Psyonix has up their sleeve.
