It demands experimentation, trial and error, and learning from failure while being wrapped up in an interplanetary physics simulator. It thinks outside the box of what a typical console game would look like, or even play like. Kerbal Space Program is the kind of niche game that tends to be at home around a dedicated PC gaming community. Not only do we get the first game, we get that enhanced control scheme, and for those who already purchased the first port, you get it for free. In any case, we get another attempt at bringing Kerbal Space Program to life on consoles with Kerbal Space Program Enhanced Edition.

A little under two years ago an initial attempt was made, and I'm not entirely sure why we are seeing this second. Some message board rumblings suggest it was because Squad, the developers of the PC original, just weren't happy with the first port and its reported bugs maybe it really is only to take advantage of an opportunity to remake the control scheme into something more console-friendly maybe it had something to do with Take-Two Interactive buying the studio last year (although the Enhanced Edition was already underway before that).

This isn't the first time we've seen Kerbal Space Program attempt to launch on consoles.
