delta144 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If there ever was a KSP 2 I think it would look like this https://www.unrealengine.com/showcase/nasa-is-using-unreal-engine-4-to-make-mars-a-virtual-reality?utm_content=mars2030&utm_medium=chromium&utm_term=blog&utm_campaign=communitytab&utm_source=launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.K Kerbal Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 This post is stupid. Usually, SQUAD would just send out an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMarlboro Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 There likely won't be a "KSP 2" simply because there's no reason to be a second game. Anything that can advance this game to something better will likely just come as an update. If squad did decide to make another game, it won't be a successor to ksp.

StarStreak2109 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If there were such a thing as KSP 2, then I'd like to see it using this engine: https://unigine.com/en/industries/simulation/aerospace#a-header But since there won't this is all moot...

marcello639 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 There will be ksp2. Squad is business not hobby at some point they will decide to make new game to have fresh income with cash. And since ksp is such a success it doesn't make a sense not to try luck with ksp 2. It all is matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worir4 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My guess is SQUAD will keep on updating KSP until we get to version 1.9. Then they will have to go to 1.9.9 and then 1.9.9.9 and so on. I don't think they will go to 2.0. In the end i think it will be version 1.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9. And then SQUAD will retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense to make a second KSP. Why not just update the current one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaarst Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I like to think of KSP2 as a major update rather than a whole new game. An engine change for example: if Squad start to feel the need for a custom KSP engine in the late development of the game because Unity no longer fits their ambitions, then why not a KSP2 with a KerbalEngine. Not saying it's going to happen though... but if it does I'd rather a massive overhaul of the game/gameplay than a new game with the sole purpose of being an eye-candy. @worir4 What about KSP 1.10 ?

You think Squad will want to remake the entire game in a new engine? No freaking way. I would bet real money on it. Squad will make KSP as good as it can be then leave it. They may make another game but I doubt it and if they do it will not be KSP 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen_Heart Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I don't think KSP will get a KSP 2. Either as a sequel or as a version update to 2.0. I personally think that development will stop at around 1.5 and if they do make another game it will be something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No freaking way. I would bet real money on it. Squad will make KSP as good as it can be then leave it. They may make another game but I doubt it and if they do it will not be KSP 2. If the potential for money is there, why not? Squad made the noble but unwise promise to never charge for an update, so they've cut themselves off from that income stream. A version 2 using a high performance game engine would be viable for various reasons: There is an existing market (as KSP 1 has proven) It would generate fresh income from existing players, and I'm sure a large amount of those will happily fork over new money for a totally awesome remake with various improvements Existing content can be reused to a large extend (reducing initial development costs) It offers the ability to make game changes that cannot be made currently (rescaling to Earth sizes, revamping career mode, etc) Of course there's a good chance that Squad totally had it with KSP by the time the final 1.x version is released. On the other hand, Microsoft's Flight Simulator (or SubLogic's if you want to be strict) went through various iterations, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the art isn't pretty enough, it's the assets that are the problem, not the engine. The existing mods (RSS, etc) prove that scaling up the system is completely possible in the existing engine. Plus, there's always the elephant in the room: Squad isn't a software company, and they have neither the manpower nor the expertise to work in a different engine. Either way, I've seen no evidence that the chosen engine is the limiting factor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majorjim! Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Just now, Kerbart said: so why not? Squad consists of about 10 people, maybe less, even fewer coders. You think they want to remake the entire game just to make it look better? Not a chance. It would be an exercise in absurdity. And this whole argument comes back to, why not just improve the game we have now? Remaking the whole thing is akin to reinventing the wheel. A waste of time. It won't happen man. edit: Who's face is that in your pic? Edited February 7, 2016 by Majorjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePULSAR Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I doubt that Squad has the resource to make another game in this short period of time Edited February 7, 2016 by ThePULSAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastema Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'd be okay with KSP 2 if it meant a switch to a better engine. The game performs terribly with larger rockets and crashes fairly often if you use mods, at least in my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
