On top of that, even if were supposed to be expecting something, the last piece of news was 3 weeks ago, so if anyone still subscribes to the belief that new information is scheduled and to be expected, this wouldn't be one of those times when information is released.

We know approximate time of delivery and we've had few gender reveal parties (feature videos). Waiting for another kick isn't exactly interesting. I'm sure it is if you're the parents (a.k.a. the developers) The friends and family on the other hand... not so interested in every kick or jostling about.

Anything before that and we are just setting ourselves up for frustration You can still be hyped and have a rational understanding of time and work so as to not be frustrated. It's only when people let their hype override their capacity for reason that they get frustrated and/or bitter/angry/mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 With all that said, I wouldn't mind seeing a 10 seconds long clip of a simple rover rolling across the terrain. To get a rough understanding of suspension and surface characteristics. Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had so much hoped I would be spending time with my daughter getting her into the game this summer. My disappointment with the delay was palpable. Whatever. I'm still looking forward to it - but I'm also still convinced that Multiplayer is the conflict. If they'd have bit the bullet and said that peer to peer co-op was the best they could do - or that MP just WILL NOT WORK with the physics and Warp, I'd be fine with then learning they need the time to wrap it all up.

t_v Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Completely Accurate Prediction™: We'll be seeing Trackmania x KSP tomorrow. (although seriously, I'd be ecstatic if we got to see a high-speed rover race in-game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there is no schedule, or maybe even there are no information releases planned from here until October, to give PR the time to prepare a bunch of promotional materials. The point is, there is a bunch of uncertainty around when information comes out, and nothing can be expected, except that we can’t expect a consistent PR schedule. In addition, I don’t think it is fair to belittle someone for being disappointed after nothing is released (although if it turns into a communication strategy, that is something else). Being uncertain whether we will get a “good result” that we are engaged in is inherently addictive; it is the basis for gambling and long-term training of pets, and it works because the chance of a reward is somehow better than an actual reward at encouraging an activity. Just like with gambling, we can make predictions (biweekly on fridays, mondays, every 6-8 weeks fridays, increasing chances as time goes on, etc.) that as we have seen, have no impact on actual release times and create that uncertain attraction. Someone who is following the game, as I personally am, can fall into that trap, as a certainly have done. The disappointment is a natural human reaction and should not be met with condescension. That being said, @mmamh2008, communicating in this way is not going to help with any disappointment you might have, and it is not going to change the release timings, so there are no positives to making these continuous posts, and the negatives have been discussed at length earlier and include creating a distorted perspective of the releases (KSP2 is by far not the worst offender in either time or timing, look at silksong for one example) and detracting from what I formation we do have.

They’ve never shown us an orbital flight, therefore it must be planned to be scrapped, and the millions of dollars and work hours they are investing must be just for marketing, not to build an actual rocket.

Carraux Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Well, at least we can see that Starship exists. And it flew already (albeit not orbital). KSP2? Not even actual game footage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
