Nirgal Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Seeing the initial title and video description, I became a singularity of hype, the human consciousness cannot fathom such levels. After watching the video however, I must be honest and say that the exclusion of colonies, 'science' and interstellar travel is disappointing, in my mind what differentiates KSP2 from the original is the colonies and interstellar travel. I initially thought early access would be addressing polish and optimisation more so than game defining features. But we have to face the reality that the team are still not ready, and this is a stop-gap to prevent yet another (untenable) delay to the release date. Being able to play the game at all is far more desirable than another year or two of nothing. I only hope the roadmap will progress at a good rate. I was very pleased to see team members from KSP1 in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopslayer78 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Dres has rings now! Does this mean we will get to test collidable rings and all the extra orbital maneuvering considerations that come with it in the Feb 24 release? This is a great new activity that can be done within the Kerbol system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a solid experience, but only a ton of features, they'd end up just like KSP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hating the KSP 1 UI and being an aircraft enthusiast, this navball is nothing short of a blessing! 8 hours ago, gussi111 said: Do we only have one kind of rover wheels?

Scarecrow71 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Just watched the trailer. My mind is now fully blown, I'm spent, I can't focus on anything else right now. That made me want to not only play KSP2, but to fire up KSP and keep working on my unmanned Jool-5. With that said, does anyone know if Early Access will be Steam only? Or will we still have the option to purchase and download from the KSP store? And who do I give all of my money to for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rings aren’t the only thing of note in that shot, look at the back end of the ship, I think this is the first time we’ve seen ship-scale nuclear reactors!

obney kerman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Best view I could get of the new engines on several ships in the video, if you look closely at the middle one, that's a radiation symbol. New kinds of NTRs? Anyway, I for one am VERY hyped overall. Shame interstellar travel will have to wait, but I'm looking forward to rediscovering the planets!

DwightLee Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Very pleased with Early Access path. Good! Release the game in stages, and make sure this is right before releasing the next. This is exactly the right way to do it. More than any game I have ever wanted, we don't need it right now, we just need it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowne actually made a video today about some questions he had asked Nate Simpson, anything that says pre-alpha capture is from about 2 years ago.

pss88 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 That sucks... No more hyped at all now. Damn, even more casual, but full-feature, mod-able, co-op-able game at the end of 2023 would be better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aziz Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Anyone wants to play a guessing game? Since all footage we got today is from the Kerbol system, I have some things I haven't seen before I see volcanos and brown terrain. Moho, perhaps? That's some crazy terrain, I'd say Gilly. Though the lander is an overkill by miles. But from the footage just before that, it doesn't look that small, so I don't know. That's a weird looking ground, but there's only one moon at that distance from Jool. So probably Tylo. However, with ridges like here, I think the previous picture could also be it.

I was a bit disappointed too at first but I realized that early access just means that the devs can hear more about what we actually want instead of wasting time on features we might not care too much about. Let's say they release colony parts and it turns out people would actually like to IVA inside colonies or with more people using procedural wings and the like, other parts could be made procedural if that's what's wanted from the community. Just means the game will have more stuff that people wouldn't have known they wanted if it wasn't for early access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
