  1. Agreed that it needn't be January, but I wouldn't really call Q2 early in the year either.
  2. Sony Europe does not require such a thing, only the store text is required - in which case it could still launch in regions that have English as store language such as the UK.
  3. How is someone going to launch a rocket into space when they cannot figure out for themselves that the HDMI out port on their PC can be connected to their TV?
  4. Just because it isn't out yet doesn't mean you can't win a contest, you'll just get the license key at a later time. And we do have a pretty good idea what's going on: KSP didn't pass SCEE certification. The only thing that is unclear is whether or not Squad needs to fix problems and resubmit.
  5. Nope. The Kerbal release schedule has always been: it will be released when ready. And it is apparently not deemed ready by SCEE. Therefore there is currently no scheduled EU PS4 release (hence "delayed indefinitely"). Passed certifications with SCEA and Microsoft are irrelevant to this situation. Squad has to either wait for SCEE or work hard to fix whatever SCEE encountered. When the certification does finally pass it will probably release instantly (read: the next store update).
  6. I don't expect Squad to have any updates on the PS4 Europe release until that one final update: that is has passed SCEE certification and will be out next week. It's simply not in their hands, as far as I understand. As far as SCEE is concerned: they manage to do their thing most of the time but when something goes wrong it can take months, other games have had inexplicible delays here as well. And it's not even sure we can truly blame SCEE, digitally the EU single market is still in its infancy so who knows what kind of legislation or silliness is causing a hold-up. I'd appreciate a more detailed explanation from the involved parties but often the department doing the communication also knows little more than "sorry all we can tell is no-go". I'm just trying to stay positive by telling myself I'll be able to skip PS4 Kerbal and blast off with the Neo.
  7. None taken, obviously controls will be a lot different. It's a good thing I never played on PC, nothing will feel different and everything is just going to be as-it-is. Unless Squad messed it up that shouldn't be a problem, console users like me are well adapted to context sensitive controls and menus which is what I suspect to be the case.
  8. As far as PS4 is concerned, I can say with 100% certainty that user mods will not be possible. Sony would never allow it, the risk of something going wrong (maliciously or by accident) with the system is unacceptable to them. That said, the console edition might have some tweaks compared to the PC edition (initially or through updates) to make certain tasks easier or console-friendly, potentially removing the need for some of the essential mods. Or not, in which case everything I'll achieve will be far more rewarding.
  9. Thanks! By the way, if any administrators are watching: when the time comes you'll probably want to add subsections per platform. The last thing you want is that experienced PC users have to scroll through topics such as "this mod is broken! 3000 words later, btw ps4" or "does Kinect influence part count limits" or "where can I download the Jebediah Miimoto".
  10. Have never played KSP but I've seen Scott Manley's videos (and a few others) and I'm very excited it will be coming to PS4. I come from a Linux background so I never invested in a gaming PC (my best non-console is a Chromebook). I realise our version might be subpar when it comes to controls and features but I don't really care. Never stopped me from enjoying Minecraft and to be honest sometimes it's nice to have a limited, vanilla version precisely because you can hit a wall and lay down the game for a while. I'd hate to see what my life would turn into if Cities Skylines were on PS4 or if I ever got back to PCs... As for performance, perhaps this is one of those games that push me over the edge in getting a PS4.5/Neo. So consider me on board for the hype train (even registered just to say that after lurking for a few months).
