OMG! Wow! Rocket League quick chat options expanding

If you’re an avid Rocket League player, the current limited crop of quick chat options will be getting a much needed expansion. Psyonix announced today that it will be giving players 27 new quick chat options with the upcoming June update.

Because Rocket League is a controller affair, the only way to communicate strategy, jubilation, or frustration are through the quick chat options found on the D-pad. Reddit user gaveasky made a handy printout for gamers to use.

As you can see, while it does facilitate a good amount of communication, over the months things have gotten repetitive. Players will spam quick chats, which has become somewhat of an inside joke among fans.

The new update will add a quick chat menu, allowing players to customize their quick chat options.

The new quick chat options now include:

  • All yours.
  • Calculated.
  • Go for it!
  • Great Clear!
  • Holy cow!
  • In position.
  • Incoming!
  • My bad…
  • My fault.
  • Need Boost!
  • Nice Block!
  • Nice one!
  • No Way!
  • Okay.
  • Oops!
  • Savage!
  • Siiiick!
  • What a play!
  • Whew.

While PC players usually have a keyboard handy to talk smack or congratulate the other team for a good game, that hasn’t been the case for gamers on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Psyonix has now added eight new post-game phrases, which should create better camaraderie. These include:

  • Everybody dance!
  • gg
  • Nice moves.
  • One. More. Game.
  • Rematch!
  • That was fun!
  • Well played.
  • What a Game!

Sadly there won’t be an option for custom quick chat options. This has been most likely done to deter foul-mouthed gamers from sneaking in expletives or other uncomfortable phrases into a game which is rated E for Everyone. Even then, it’s surprising that a simple “LOL” wasn’t added. Hopefully it will come in the next update.

A free new app will start rolling out on Samsung Smart TVs today: GameBreaks. It's a new gaming app which will feature an array of original titles that will be expanded over time. The app is launching with a brand new puzzle game today called Ripplash.

GameBreaks is the next step in an ongoing gaming push for Samsung. In 2022, the company rolled out a Samsung Gaming Hub app to select TVs that pulled together cloud streaming services like GeForce Now. It has built on that strategy over the past three years, adding Xbox Game Pass to the mix, creating its own controller, and launching original games in the form of The Six and Rivals Arena.

Borderlands 4 pushes the series forward while addressing past mistakes
A psycho in Borderlands 4.

Multiplayer shooters have evolved quite a bit since the first Borderlands was released in 2009, but I can appreciate that Gearbox Entertainment’s series has stayed mostly the same over that time. Booting up a Borderlands game, I always know I can expect vibrant comic-book style visuals, solid solo or co-op shooter gameplay, charmingly grating humor, and a whole lot of loot. All of these things still ring true and louder than ever in Borderlands 4, but the latest Borderlands game is also shaping up to be the most experimental one yet.

Last month, I visited 2K’s headquarters in Novato, California, and played a couple of hours of Borderlands 4. The more traditionally designed, Destiny-like open world structure stood out, but all of the new movement options available during combat were also a real game-changer. The over-the-top humor and the number of legendary drop have both been drastically reduced, which gives Borderlands 4 a slightly different feel than Borderlands 3. All of this makes Borderlands 4 feel different than what has come before, but ultimately just as appealing.
