micha Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Big woop. What about (native) Linux? And this had BETTER not trigger a UI dumb-down to cater for the consoles.. Please don't get me wrong, I also love console gaming, but some games are more suited to controller+TV gaming and others more suited to a full PC experience. KSP, IMHO, is far more suited to PC gaming and I am very very tired of "Lowest Common Denominator" development. A few of my favourite games have been significantly affected when console support was added - and not for the better. Thankfully KSP1 stuck to its original UI even after the console ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elthy Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Why is it still planed for the old consoles? They are only holding back everything with their extremly weak CPUs and low RAM. Supporting them will keep KSP2 stuck on old Hardware forever, as they cant drop support later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshu Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Nice! What about a native Linux version? Would really like to have that, and it seems like I'm not alone with this... Linux gaming may be a small market overall, but the KSP community apparently has a rather large number of active players and modders who use Linux (which is to be expected considering the type and target audience of the game ...).

Expand Because there's a lot of people who doesn't want to buy new consoles over and over again. So by only targeting the latest version you lock out a significant part of the potential market.

So we will likely see less planets, worse aerodynamics, less simulated features of colonys and many more due to a small minority on extremly old legacy hardware.

That's one of the big worries for console devs. How to utilize the power of newer consoles without rejecting the majority of console owners.

Minmus Taster Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The title cuts out at h in the main screen so it sounded like this: KSP2 is h- And I had a little heart race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 xbox and ps4, but no Mac. Lovely. I have a PC (2 actually), but the machine I want to use is my Mac which is going to be replaced with an M1X when that's a thing, no more bootcamp. I have a PS4, too. Won't be buying it, sadly. BTW, if you made a version for Apple silicon, it would also work on iOS devices into the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It all depends on the system capabilities. If the platform they're running KSP2 on is stuttering even a the lowest settings, then they will degrade the quality of the game for that specific platform. Also the PC version would have the best graphics, as computers are not as limited as consoles. Also PC users can lower graphics, but from my experience of console games, most games do not allow to change the graphics settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand So take PC, Xbox, and PS4, and whichever has the fewest players, axe support for that? Amiright?
