KSP1 had a lack of interesting activities to do once you reached a celestial body, and the KSP2 team has explicitly stated they want to improve this. There are multiple overlapping ways to do this (unique landing puzzles, rare resources, colony setup, science, lore), but having a unique visual spectacle at each location is a huge reward after solving a difficult landing puzzle and motivates me to stay in an area longer. There's also the fact that you could "Potentially be inspired by the realization that it is a thing that almost certainly exists somewhere in the real universe". There's some good discussion on this thread regarding if good graphics really matter for KSP2, and to some extent how much graphics matter will always depend on personal preference. After thinking about it, I've settled on the following opinion regarding graphics (in general, not just KSP2): There exist many bad games with good graphics. There exist many good games with basic (perhaps even "bad") graphics. Good graphics always enhance a game if they respect the theming and heritage of the in-game universe. I speculate that a lot of the people stating that "graphics don't matter for KSP2" are thinking of examples of #1 and #2, but neither of these two points disprove #3 (to be fair, they don't prove #3 either). There is also the argument that since KSP2 is such a physics oriented game, there are mechanics that are more important than graphics. I would agree that there are things more important than graphics, but this does not mean that graphics aren't important. Finally, the KSP2 team has made it very clear that the condition on #3 will be satisfied by collaborating with or hiring KSP1 developers and trying to make things feel kerbal wherever possible. In conclusion, I'm a simple-minded bumpkin that indulges my base desires for spectacle and graphics .

Snafu225 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Kerbal-Space-Program-2-Spiel-72055/News/Steam-Wunschliste-Follower-1412461/ German news article about the upcoming launch Noteworthy stuff roughly translated: Kerbal Space Program 2 prepares for a succesful steam launch Quote Auf der Steam-Wunschliste mischt der Titel ganz oben mit und steckt mit mehr als 140.000 Followern mit Ausnahme von Hogwarts Legacy jedes andere Spiel, das im Februar auf der Plattform erscheint, in die Tasche. "With 140.000 follows, it is the most anticipated game on the steam wishlist out of the titles launching in february, only topped by Hogwarts Legacy" Quote Kerbal Space Program hat auf Steam eine Zustimmung von 94 Prozent "KSP 1 has a 94% positive rating on steam" and the roadmap roughly transcribed at the end. That's about the first time I read something for KSP 2 outside of the forum and discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolarAdmiral Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 1 hour ago, GoldForest said: While maybe not all, the big KSP content creators definitely have access or will get access very very soon. But they can't post any ksp2 gameplay yet. Farewell ksp1 videos are great right now to keep the views up and train the algorithm ahead of the ksp2 release. For any content creators they'd be smart videos to make priming them to succeed once they can make ksp2 videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a marketing flavored statement as any statement you will see from anyone in any company. I know I have my own development company and we put more adjectives than woudl be wise. That is normal. Do not read such statements as formal contracts It is not contradictory. This is why graphics options exist in most games where fidelity can matter. KSP 1 just didn't any have fidelity that required a range for these types of options to exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
