There wont be a KH3 demo. At most we will get another trailer. We will probably get. FFXV demo and a release quarter.

I guess that was the cost of rebuilding KH1 code-- less time to work on KH3. But maybe Nomura will surprise us yet.

I'm honestly waiting for 2.5HD release date. KH3 is so far off the bed I can hope for is a trailer, meanwhile 2.5 will be something physical I can ride myself over with.

Didn't some interview a while back say that both games were developing pretty rapidly?

Something like that but to be honest I think that a KH3 demo is unreasonable to expect right now even if this wasn't an SE game. It would be awesome to be wrong though.

Jesus I mean look how LONG it took them just to release a proper PC port of FFVII. Maybe we'll see a PC port of KH3 in like 30 years.

FF7 PC came out in 1998. They only just recently got it over to steam though.

And it was a bad port when it came out in 1998, almost unplayable because of the awful non-midi sound and music they made in a big rush

Maybe they'll use some of the lovely plotlines from the obscure straight-to-VHS Disney sequels, like Tarzan 2, or Cinderella 3 (the one with time travel)

They kind of did that in Agrabah in KH2, with Iago becoming good and Jafar coming back.

No Tarzan 2 though. Disney no longer has the rights to use Tarzan, which is a shame because I hold the unpopular opinion of enjoying the Deep Jungle level.

Calling it now, Nomura is going to surprise everyone by showing off the world based on such hit movies as The Black Hole, WWII Propaganda*, Atlantis and Robin Hood. By the time the presentation is done, everyone will be begging for Aghrabah and the Olympic Coliseum.


*No joke, I would kill for a world based off of their old propaganda, with the background music being an orchestral version of Der Fuher's Face. It's as likely as a Wreck-it Ralph world or something based off of A Goofy movie because of all the uncomfortable racism, but I can dream damnit.

The massive delay since KHII will allow them to use Frozen, Wreck-It-Ralph and Tangled, which is nice. I'd like to see a full Sword in the Stone level, too.

If KH3 came out on PC, it'd probably be the highest profile Box-only PC release in the past 5 years.

Square-Enix has embraced Steam pretty hard. KH3 would almost certainly appear there as well if it was a PC release.

I looked into it further and just FFXV is confirmed for PC release, I guess. Not a huge shock there.

But I highly doubt KHIII will be on anything but PS4 and XBONE. Although I'm still surprised about it being on the XBone.

Isn't it a requirement on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 that all games are released digitally? I want to say that's a policy on at least one of the two, if not both.

Can you give a source for FFXV being confirmed for a PC release? That pretty much outright destroys one of my biggest reasons to want a PS4.

I think Skylanders also gets around it, but that game is based around figurines and an accessory to use them in the game, so it's understandable.

I'd rather have one PS4 game on a disc than give up the music :colbert:

also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
Hasn't every Kingdom Hearts game thus far used basically the same engine as the first game? I always figured that one of the reasons they took so long to make another console KH game after KH2 was because they didn't want to do all the time consuming engine-work that would be required to truly update it so they just stuck to handhelds when they could just use a slightly modified version.

I don't know poo poo about technical stuff though so I could be wrong.

KH1 was practically a loving PS2 launch title. The code was so old that they actually couldn't find it for the HD version, which is why the game took so long to come out.

last year i rewrote something awful from scratch because i hate myself
Replaying 3D is really making me appreciate that game. The battling is really engaging, Riku is a much more likable character and he doesn't give stupid speeches about his darkness and his light, Sora's super-optimism is really adorable, and the plot isn't crazy convoluted.

The only really bad part is how the plot is sequenced. A series this convoluted should not tell the story through flashbacks. It's really hard to follow until you play it twice.

And the rushed story-telling in most of the individual worlds. I never saw the Tron: Legacy, and I have no idea what the gently caress was going on in that world.

Riku's half of that world is really awful. Sora's is pretty easy to follow, though.

Yeah, I say "Shit" a shit-ton of times. What of it, shithead?
The Grid just feels weird because Sora's side tries to tie it in with Space Paranoids from 2 despite the fact that in story the two should have nothing really connecting them and Riku's side tries to tell the movie's story despite the fact you kind of need to know Tron 1's story and 2 didn't even bother with telling it. The Grid just feels really tacked on in a game where everything else is tacked on but in a way that kind of makes sense.

I'm hoping that Nomura realized what a clusterfuck the last portion of 3D is and makes an attempt to explain the plot holes in KH3. I've made a serious attempt to figure out exactly what was going on but there are still a bunch of things that are just :psyduck:. Chief among them that the motivations of the villains in KH1 and 2 no longer make any sense and I still have no idea how the time travel stuff came to be or why it was necessary.

I'd love to see some of the really early Disney stuff in KHIII, like Alice Comedies. That'll be a challenging world to make.
