KSP Coming to XBOX ONE: Discuss

KSP for WiiU/3DS?

[Red Iron Crown]

Kind of strange that they put it in in 0.24 and it broke shortly after, only for them to never fix it. It would be great if they fixed 3D mouse support so that it doesn't lock VAB controls when you use it.

Already fixed, either in 1.0.3 or .4, I don't remember which. But it is definitely working now.

So far it is even benefiting development of the PC/Mac/Linux versions of KSP. The developers at Flying Tiger have been working with us to port the game to Unity 5, cutting the time needed to do the update significantly. The ports to PS4 and Xbone are then done by Flying Tiger, so in theory shouldn't affect development of the current platforms either. Of course, they made need occasional help or some explanation of code, but that shouldn't have any significant impact.

Erm, not a good theory IMO. Any porting being done by a separate company still requires a fair amount of support from the original devs, and a LOT of time to get immersed into the game and its working parts to begin with. This is all time being taken away from the Squad devs is it not? I know that when I handover a server farm to someone, or have someone come to setup a purpose-built server into my farm, it takes a lot of my time. FAR too much of my time, and I hate doing it. Even after installation/handover, there are weeks and months of communications afterwards regarding all the small details of the network.

But I mean, that's only a theory too. An anecdote and a theory... but nothing solid all the same.

Truly... what is so hard to believe here? Would we rather think that

A) Squad hires an entirely separate company so that they can spend months babysitting them and holding their hand through a Unity 5 port, costing them both delays in the PC version and incurring the wrath of their fans

or

Squad hires somebody else that *GASP* understands how to use Unity 5, you know, the gaming engine used by thousands if not millions of developers across the world? And maybe since they know how to use the engine in question they can work largely autonomously, as stated by Squad several times?

We need better conspiracy theories my friends. We really really do.

KSP for WiiU/3DS?

Please no - wii u is not powerful enough. I own one, and IMO building stuff with the gamepad would be awesome, but SQUAD, please port ksp to the NX. (nintendo's upcoming console. It will be very powerful and easy to port to.)

It's better even than that. Both Squad and the console port people need KSP brought to U5 before they can do the platform-specific stuff, so it would seem to be the obvious play for both teams to work on the port, at least at first.

[Junafani]

I wonder what kind of achievements we are gonna have in console versions since they are required to have them... Perhaps we can get them onto PC version (perhaps as an section in the main menu so KSP store version can also get them)?

Getting 1k gamerscore/platinum trophy could be intresting. Perhaps I should buy either PS4 or XBone for that and other exclusives...

Will KSP go to Xbox or xbox kinect or both

[NFUN]

Will KSP go to Xbox or xbox kinect or both

With all of the porting work FTE is doing, I doubt they'll make it Kinect compatible, at least right away.

[StrandedonEarth]

I want KSP ported to my 70's era Pong console. You also forgot the Coleco Adam computer, Atari 2600, and Intellivision

I'm not buying it.

Anyone else remember back in 2013 post-Xbox One announcement when there were endless amounts of "Will this be on Xbox One?" threads? Now everyone's complaining that they got what they wished for.
