Chilkoot Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Wow - two big announcements today (screenshot below). Here's a text copy from the website: Kerbal Space Program 2, the sequel to the acclaimed space flight game from Private Division, will be lithobraking on Earth December 1st, 2020. [image][image] With the original Kerbal Space Program having become one of the most beloved games of all time, and now bigger than ever, Kerbal Space Program 2 has been fully redesigned from the ground up to meet the demands of modern and next-generation space exploration, all while maintaining the monumental foundations of the first game. To deliver the most immersive and engaging experience possible, we are very excited to announce that Kerbal Space Program 2 will be exclusively playable in Virtual Reality! Kerbonauts will feel the engines roar to life as they lift off from KSC, gaze out the command pod window while their craft eases to a landing, and reach down to gather rock samples from the surface of Mün. Kerbal Space Program 2 is compatible with all major Virtual Reality platforms including SteamVR, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality and PSVR.

Selective Genius Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I hope, from the bottom of my heart that this is an April Fool's joke... Because if it's only playable in VR, then it has already lost my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Chilkoot Is this some sort of April Fools? Because I navigated to the same page as you (as far as I can see) and I see no such announcement. Besides, if something like this was announced it would have a post in the Announcements section of the forum too. If KSP2 is VR-only now, then it's lost my interest. I don't have a VR headset, and can't afford to sink £300+ into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaintedLion Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yeah I highly doubt the devs would willingly decimate their playerbase like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incarnation of Chaos Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Pls be an april fool's joke; i have no interest in strapping a monitor to my skull and flailing my arms around like a goof. Especially since i have to pay >200 USD for the privilege, and KSP doesn't gain anything from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtemisAZ Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This actually got me gosh dang it. You've bamboozled me for the last time! (Not gonna lie though VR KSP2 would be pretty lit, especially with some haptic feedback stuff like chairs or that weird haptic suit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmaine Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 5 hours ago, linuxgurugamer said: This would have been more believable without the VR stuff Yeah. To have VR as an option might have been sort of half plausible. Not very, but at least sort of. But VR exclusively? That's so implausible that my first thought was that someone didn't know what the word "exclusively" meant. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely plausible, but it would be difficult to do well due to the multiple game modes and screens. The best VR titles today typically have only one or two "views", and any interactive screens like, for example, the tech tree selection in KSP1, would be overlays in a real-world environment - like a screen you walk up to or a book you open. For a solid VR interface, you generally have to plan for it from day one, as retrofitting VR controls without forethought, esp. for a multi-view game like the current KSP would be messy and may never feel natural.
