Sesshaku Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I actually think nobody was expecting the reaction KSP2 trailer got. It got way too many views for a niche game. 7.3 million to be precise. I honestly think the whole delays and production "restart" came from a change of production value viewed on the game. They expect this game to be a franchise. Sure, it will never be GTA, but we already know KSP sells as much as the Anno series, and that's something. KSP1 sold 3.5 million units, it's not GTA, but it's not that small. And with the whole SpaceX fanbase, I honestly think it has potential to grow. Space exploration is recovering the "cool"/popular standard that was lost after the Apollo program. Having multiplayer and cooler explosions, will only make it even more streamable. We also know this will probably follow Paradox model of launching one game every 5-7 years and fill the rest with patches and DLCs. I think this game has potential to increase it's audience if the sequel proves worthy. Edited June 9, 2021 by Sesshaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 WELL Now that was disappointing. In short answer, no, there was nothing. Not even games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlywheelsGroove Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 They did a "Diversity and Inclusivity" panel. I agree with the content, and a larger discussion in the gaming space does need to happen, but it was a very bold choice for E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's dumbfounding, why would you talk about inclusion at E3? oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLTay Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Surely they must have tried showing or marketing games to gamers and game reporters at a gaming convention? I can't find any info about KSP/KSP2 that was discussed. Did they really not mention planned or upcoming titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJesuit Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I guess we are going to have different shaded kerbals in the next release then? Or at least KSP2 Can we have the female kerbals with the cropped hair, and ponytails on the males too? Actually, the old kerbaliser web and android/iOS app but in-game and meaning we can have any kerbal style however we want it. Also, Kerbals were supposed to be androgynous. Except that they got given male names. So later, female kerbals were introduced. Except that they had rounded heads. And no tongue. Val on the start menu screen didn't have a visor... in space... for ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbals are green, it would be silly if they really added other shades. I don't think there is going to be any changes to KSP 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if TakeTwo are wanting to do diversity well, a great way to showcase this would be allowing skin options that they have already designed and allow hair styles to be moved to every kerbal model... which I'm guessing they have.
