![]() The Kerbals run out to the edge of the base to look at the desolate, but beautiful scene. Once again we see total chaos as planetary bases collapse, sparks flying from ships, and Kerbals in the cockpit scream out.įinally one more launch of an impressive looking ship which lands on a base which builds up via time-lapse. After this burst of failure we see more footage of successful rocket launches, space stations, planetary bases, Kerbals doing extra vehicular activity, and then some sort of massive array on a space station lights up. There are no sound effects at all, but the music rises as there are quick cuts of horrible rocket accidents and Kerbals haplessly spinning around in the cockpit. Ice falls off the surface of the rocket, it flies through space, the booster rockets fall away as planned, and not a moment later. ![]() We're back in an epic, hopeful scene of the rocket taking off it's impossible to look at and not associate it with footage we've seen of real life rocket launches. Even if someone isn't familiar with the game, the simple time-lapse is a good way to show there is building in the game. The Kerbals overlook a massive crater, and behind it is Earth.Ĭut to blue skies where a time-lapse shows a rocket being built, and then blasting off. Already we've experienced the majesty of space travel, and the comical, light-hearted face of failure. This is an amazing rug pull about a third of the way through the trailer. Contrasting the smiling face, the lander falls over in the moon dust. The astronaut slowly falls in the low gravity, and the camera reveals it's a green Kerbal screaming in fear! As they bounce out of the ship, there's a closeup of another Kerbal already on the surface with a look of joy and wonder on their face. The ship lands successfully, and an astronaut emerges, setting their foot onto the ladder on their way out when: The M83 music is epic and hopeful, like this is history in the making. There's another wide shot of the undocked lander it deploys its landing gear as it approaches the surface of the moon. So far this feels like any number of dramatic films about space like Interstellar or Gravity. There's a closeup as part of it undocks, and inside we see the reflective face plate of the passenger as they look out at the moon. The music slowly swells as the ship passes the craters of the moon. The trailer opens with a shot in outer space of a small ship dwarfed by the size of the Earth it orbits. For the cinematic trailer for KSP 2 they took this basic premise, refined its story structure and pacing, and made it shiny as heck with bespoke CG animation. This is why the original fan trailer features majestic shots of space, but also comically overbuilt rockets exploding in the atmosphere. ![]() But if you construct your rocket properly, you can get into outer space, and even land on the planet's moon and more. What inevitably happens is you build rockets, many of which explode, forcing you to go back to the drawing board. In the game you have access to all machine components you could possibly need to make rockets, but the game does very little to teach you how to do it successfully. ![]() If you're not already familiar with the game, Kerbal Space Program is a game about "realistic" space travel in a fictionalized world populated not by humans, but by the cute, titular Kerbals. Like the fan trailer, this uses music by M83 and depicts the highs and low of playing Kerbal Space Program. This announce trailer is inspired by a fan trailer made by Shaun Esau which debuted over six years ago in 2013.
