Some more screenshots from KSP2, and some notes from the developers for what to expect.

"There are still a few gremlins in our serialization code, and very rarely (especially when building high-complexity vehicles) your vehicle may collapse into an unrecoverable pile of parts on the floor of the VAB. For now, it’s a good idea to save frequently." ❤️

When I first played KSP 1 I was playing on a laptop under the minimum specs. Anything with staging or over like 10 parts count was pretty slow, I still had a great time. I wouldn't recommend anyone do that for KSP 2 since KSP 1 exists still. But honestly I'm glad they are targeting higher quality so in a couple years when I upgrade the game is still beautiful.

I want to know if wheels and landing gear actually have friction now

A bit disappointing that we have another almost full priced early access title, but looking forward to playing.

Crossing my fingers that they don't double down on the performance complaints

Very strange they list an i5 11500 as the recommended spec, rather than the nearly identical and many times more common 11400. I wonder if 100mhz really makes that much difference

The hardware specs are insane. The joys of Unity I guess.

Hmm for as much as this was delayed I'm pretty disappointed that it doesn't even have reentry heating or vapor cone effects, etc. I thought by being patient and encouraging them to delay the game if needed, we'd end up with a more polished product.

I really need to get this once it's available. And I need someone to pilot my crafts. I can build in KSP wonderfully, but I fly like Jeb...

This is a far cry from Microsoft Space Simulator that I had as a child. Came on about a thousand floppies.

Keep in mind that KSP 2 definitely will work towards optimization for competitive reasons. SR2 runs fine on my 3050 Ti laptop with near 4k resolution.

Scott, can you speak to the graphical aspects for lower-powered systems? Does it still look okay when turning off some of the volumetric things?

It's insane how much a well-optimized game like Factorio can simulate on a potato, and how slow an average-looking Unity game runs on top of the line hardware. Seriously, Unity eats up like a decade of hardware advances.

No entry heating. We’re really deja vu-ing back to 0.18 days, huh.

It looks much better than KSP1, no question. But I don't get how these graphics justify a 3080 as recommend GPU. Don't get me wrong, it looks good, but not that good. I'm afraid the game will be really poorly optimized and the "good" graphics are just a result of very potent hardware.
