Rocket League is due to get a nice big update later this month for a basketball-style conversion, but it seems before that Psyonix are making sure that the collision is as tight as they can make it by modifying a few hitboxes.

Eleven of the playable cars are having their collision borders tweaked slightly to help them more closely match the actual models in version 1.16 out sometime this week. They’ve also made a few changes that has managed to get the game’s rating down from an E10+ it was originally assigned to an E for Everyone ESRB rating. Hooray for child-safe gaming!

If you want some more detail on the changes, here are the patch notes:

• Improved Hitboxes for multiple vehicles to more accurately represent their models; specifically…
  • Fixed Scarab and Grog’s hitboxes, which were not long enough
  • Fixed Breakout and Hotshot’s hitboxes,  which were not wide enough
  • Fixed Batmobile and Breakout’s hitboxes, which were abnormally long
  • Fixed Gizmo, Octane, Ripper, and Scarab’s hitboxes, which were too tall
  • Fixed Dominus’ hitbox, which was not long or tall enough

• Repaired collision issues that resulted in incorrect ball-bounce behavior in some maps.
  • Additionally, the “Wasteland” Arena received collision improvements to eliminate inaccurate bounces

Still got QuickTime on your Windows computer? Not for much longer, if you value the security of your machine.

After Apple decided it was not going to support the video player anymore, PC security firm TrendMicro sent out a message recommending that any remaining users of the software uninstall it. Why? Because they’ve identified that there are at least two exploits in the code and since QuickTime will not see any updates this leaves your computer open to potential danger.

TrendMicro identified the two zero-day exploits in the code as part of their services, and it makes use of a heap corruption to allow for remote code execution. Sure, it requires the user to visit compromised websites and because a number of web browsers no longer support the QuickTime plugins you’d need to download and play infected video files, but it’s better not to take that chance isn’t it?

Apple itself has urged users to uninstall the software from Windows machines, providing a set of uninstall instructions on their site. If you’re on Mac OSX though, it’s up to you whethere you wish to uninstall or not, as Apple will obviously continue to support their own OS and so any problems can be blocked from the OSX side.

As always though, the best defense against malicious programs online is your own common sense and caution. Knowing when certain programs are acting as doorways is right behind that though in importance.

We’re used to crowdfunding stories of success coming out of Kickstarter, but it seems that it’s not the best place for every game.

Consortium: The Tower previously had a campaign on Kickstarter which wasn’t entirely successful and raised only some of their target goal. So, the game was taken to another site, Fig instead. 24 hours later and the game has raised $260,383 of the game’s $300,000 goal, with 30 more days remaining to finish. Wow.

“We’re thrilled to see such major headway right out of the gates for the next entry in the Consortium trilogy,” said CEO of Interdimensional Games Gregory MacMartin. “Fig backers have shown more support in one day than in a month on Kickstarter.”

The game in question is a sequel to a previous game called Consortium and is one of those games that has a world that can continue onwards very well without you thanks very much. Most games with a ‘urgent’ mission will wait until you get there so you can mess around and get distracted as you wish, but that’s not an option here.

If that sounds like your sort of thing, go check out the Fig campaign here.

After a wait, a trailer for the sequel to Titanfall has finally landed, bringing with it some glimpses of robotic legs and what appears to be a giant sword. It’s also announced June 12th as being the date for more big reveals about the game.

Of course, we don’t know the actual details of the weapon, but it could mean that titans could actually be fighting melee-style this time. If so, let’s hope it’s elegant and functional and not clunky as hell. That’d be a bit of a letdown.

Check out the trailer below and see what you make of it.
