Nah \u2014 because aside from the teaser atop this post, there doesn\u2019t seem to be much Bond about <em>Rocket League<\/em>\u2019s version other than the DB5\u2019s historic association with the franchise. I wasn\u2019t expecting <em>ejector seats<\/em>, but Psyonix candidly tells me it won\u2019t have any of the gadgety animations that might set Bond\u2019s version apart. Turning the snazzy secret auto-rotating license plates into a simple door for the rocket engine? I suppose that\u2019s something.<\/p>\n<p>      <button data-ui=\"grid\"><br \/>\n         Grid View<br \/>\n      <\/button><\/p>\n<p>      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__viewer-prev\" data-ui=\"prev-image\" aria-label=\"Previous image\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><br \/>\n      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__viewer-next\" data-ui=\"next-image\" aria-label=\"Next image\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__thumbs-prev\" data-ui=\"prev-page\" aria-label=\"Previous thumbnails\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><br \/>\n      <button class=\"c-image-gallery__thumbs-next\" data-ui=\"next-page\" aria-label=\"Next thumbnails\"><\/p>\n<p>      <\/button><\/p>\n<p id=\"YvHszi\">I\u2019ll probably save that money toward Lego\u2019s gadget-filled DB5 model, while I wax nostalgic over these photos I took of real Bond cars at the London Film Museum. I captioned some of those pics for <em>Gizmodo<\/em> if you like, though my post there has <em>quite<\/em> a few more embedded ads than the last time I saw it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aWNvhi\">The <em>Rocket League<\/em> DB5 will cost 1,100 credits, or roughly $10. It will come with \u201c007\u2019s Aston Martin DB5 Paint Finish (which resembles the signature Silver Birch color of the Aston Martin), Aston Martin DB5 Engine Audio, Aston Martin DB5 Wheels, and a Reel Life Decal,\u201d according to a press release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-read-more__intro\">\n    Related\n  <\/p>\n<h4>I drove one of only ten Aston Martin DB10s made for Spectre<\/h4>\n<h4>Elon Musk bought James Bond\u2019s submarine car and wants to make it transform<\/h4>\n<h4>Elon Musk tells Joe Rogan he wants the new Tesla Roadster to hover<\/h4>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you pay $10 for the privilege of strapping rocket boosters to James Bond\u2019s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[79,78,77,81,80],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1749"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1749"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1970,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1749\/revisions\/1970"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itparadise.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
