Rocket League goes Back to the Future with DeLorean car pack

By Danny Cowan October 12, 2015

New DLC launching this month for the vehicle-powered soccer sim Rocket League will put players behind the wheel of Back to the Future‘s iconic flying DeLorean, developer Psyonix announced this week.

The upcoming Back to the Future Car Pack adds the DeLorean Time Machine as a playable Battle-Car, complete with folding jet-wheels and a “Burnt Rubber” rocket trail that emulates the time-travel effect seen in the Back to the Future film trilogy.

“Truth be told, we used to fantasize and joke about having the DeLorean Time Machine in our game months before it even came out,” Psyonix Vice President of Marketing Jeremy Dunham stated. “We were all such huge Back to the Future fans here at Psyonix, that it was one of the few ‘Holy Grails’ we had hoped for besides having a hit game. The fact that we’re getting both of those “best-case scenarios” in the same year is an amazing accomplishment for us, they’re things we’ll never forget!”

The Back to the Future Car Pack will launch as Rocket League‘s third DLC expansion, following up on this week’s debut of the Revenge of the Battle-Cars DLC Pack. Buying this week’s pack unlocks two new vehicles – Scarab and Zippy – which were previously featured in Rocket League‘s predecessor Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars.

The Revenge of the Battle-Cars DLC Pack, premiering October 13th, also bundles new decals, antenna toppers, rocket boosts, wheels, and paint types, along with new unlockable trophies on the PlayStation 4.

Psyonix notes that two new map variants will roll out alongside this week’s update: Urban Station (Night) and Utopia Coliseum (Dusk). The studio teases that upcoming arenas will “focus on more ‘unusual’ layouts and settings.”

The Back to the Future Car Pack will be priced at $2 when it launches on October 21st for the PlayStation 4 and PC versions of Rocket League.

Is Manor Lords multiplayer or co-op?

A medieval market in Manor Lords.

You can easily lose hours designing your village and appeasing your citizens in Manor Lords all by yourself. There are so many different avenues to achieve victory, but the only competition or help you can normally find is in the form of NPCs. Other factions around the map can be helpful or harmful depending on how you play, but what if you wanted to team up with a friend to combine resources, or perhaps compete to see who can crush the other first? Many strategy and city builders thrive on multiplayer components, but does Manor Lords offer those same modes? Make sure you know the answer before making your purchase if that's your intention.
Is there multiplayer or co-op in Manor Lords?
To cut to the chase, the answer is no. Manor Lords is a purely single-player experience through and through. There are no cooperative or competitive modes in the game at all, so there's no way to interact with anyone else either on PC or console. This game was just released out of early access, and there is plenty of content on the way, however, we regret to inform you that multiplayer is not in the plans for the time being.

One developer took to the Steam forums to release an FAQ on the game. One question specifically asked if there is any multiplayer or cooperative gameplay in the game. The response said that "he focus is on a refined single-player experience, with no multiplayer or cooperative modes planned at the moment."

How to get a gun in Another Crab’s Treasure

Kril has a gun

Another Crab's Treasure no doubt looks like a kid-friendly game, but hiding beneath its charming and cute exterior is a challenging soulslike experience that can test the mettle of genre veterans. Those who either can't or don't want to engage with such intense difficulty throughout this underwater adventure can make great use of a variety of assists. Among these is a rather shocking, but hilarious option that can completely negate nearly all of the game's challenge while providing some laughs along the way. Here's how to get a gun in Another Crab's Treasure.
How to get a gun
To give yourself a gun in Another Crab's Treasure, head over to the Settings menu. Navigate to Assist Mode at the bottom of the menu, then scroll to the bottom once more to a setting called Give Kril a Gun. Toggle this on, then back out and resume your game to find that Kril now has a massive pistol on his back in place of a shell.

This new gun on your back provides you with more than just a funny visual, though -- it actually allows you to shoot and kill any enemy in a single hit, nearly eliminating all of the challenge from the game. Additionally, if you're after trophies or achievements, the first time you shoot a crab with the gun will also unlock "This Kills the Crab."
