MARL_Mk1 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) "Lithobraking near you in 2020", guessing everyone remembers. Were they originally planning a re-skin of KSP1 somehow? Was this ever discussed and I'm just forgetting? I just felt the urge to watch the original cinematic trailer, and I can't believe that was literally 5 years ago. 5 years ago. God this is depressing... Edit: Hell, this is even more depressing Edited Wednesday at 04:11 PM by MARL_Mk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Lemme put it this way: This is the Mun: This is Vall: This is Eeloo: It would probably look like that. Plus colony parts plus new planets. But I assume they quickly realized that what they want to achieve is impossible in such a short timeframe. It was a mistake to put a date on the very first announcement trailer.

Spicat Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 3 years of development for making the whole thing with what? ~20 people? Yeah, I don’t know which management was this but they were definitely delusional. They quickly realized how much more complex a ksp game was compared to your average shooter game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long will it take an orchestra of 60 musicians to play that same piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keen eyed quickly realized and tried to warn people that what they were showing were barely asset mounts, editor scenes, and pre-rendered stuff, and the stuff that wasn't was noticeably bad in performance, in a trailer. Warnings weren't heeded. That type of uninformed hype is also why people held a lot of hope that the next 4 delays would make the product nothing but better, and it's not like that wasn't exactly what the statements said again and again. Of course, all that hot air made release a thunderous failure.

So has PD's management remained the same, and much more T2 (even though after thousands fired and 8 quarters of net loss that might change).

Not exactly, considering the CTO and CEO didn't make the transition, I think the management quite changed. (Also not talking about the massive difference on the engineer management that changed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've called it the director's (conductor's?) cut as it has bits and pieces unseen in the original symphony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.

At least you have something to do in them until that happens, and they're not so broken that a 4090 and a 12th gen i7 like the pcs at the media event chug when trying to run them. 2 hours ago, Bej Kerman said: But you are talking about it Me, and maybe 100 more people, and we're really stubborn about the game, so really our input is a drop in an ocean of... not caring about the game, or having walked away already.
