Kingdom Hearts –The Story So Far– announced for PS4
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
Square's nonsensical titles have rendered you incapable of understanding a simple joke.
It's a package of games I want to play, why is that pointless?
Its a lose - lose. which they probably dont care about really. If I have to I'd bought it on PS4, I have the originals on PS2 and PSP.
They had about five years and tons of requests by fans but this they put everything in PlayStation. It's like blatant at this point.
But the tired old excuse of "focusing on KH3 after release we'll let you know.." and KH3 is almost gold at this point so what's up?
Switch= lack of space, this collection easily would be 50 GB+ and no KH3 coming to Switch anytime soon they made up for this by porting all their FF games
Xbox= lol SE
The best way to play all Kingdom Hearts games is in RELEASE order. You start finding out things about the characters out of order, but that is what is makes the series great. You start wondering what happens and so it gets explained in another game and confirm ( or denies) your theories. It is great.
Playing it chronologically, would give you a linear understanding of the story and what is the fun in that?

Almost all of the confusing/mysterious stuff in KHII is actually a character moment with payoff if you've watched 358/2 Days immediately before.
You'll forget about the context for most of those moments by the time you watch Days if you play II first.
Everything else is obviously meant to be experienced in release order.
I mean, that's true, but it's still a wonderful package if you don't have a misplaced need to play KH3 THE moment it comes out. This will get people in the door now and by the time they're ready for KH3 those people will give the game a better long-term sales tail.
Don't get me wrong it'd have been better earlier though for sure.
Why are people itt acting like kh3 wouldn't have been announced for the Xbox one if it were announced in the middle of the generation? This is a large AAA release from a major publisher. And it's not some herculean task to port a game between the 2 major consoles. FFXV sold just fine on Xbox and I have no doubt that kh3 will easily sell more than enough to cover the extra dev costs from bringing it to the system.
I don't understand committing the entire FF franchise to Xbox/PC/Switch and making this PS4 exclusive. There have been several collections already released for PS4, surely if they think KH3 is going to sell FFXV numbers, they could finally bring the older games to other platforms. Wait for X18?
Yeah, considering it uses UE4 it probably cost practically nothing to port. If it can sell 100-200k worldwide (which it should easily), it'll be profitable.
What? You think kh3 won't sell enough on Xbox to justify the cost of porting it to the system?
My theory that KH3 (along with FFXV) was announced for Xbox back in E3 2013 Square Enix thought Xbox One would have been as successful as Xbox 360 was and dominant including in Japan where Xbox 360 was sold alot competed very well against PS3, Wii U wouldn't be able to handle KH3 and also back then Square Enix did not embrace PC gaming much so they had even less market options. They see how each console is faring now and Xbox One is barely sold in Japan so less input from Square with their games to Xbox.
Eh after all these years people had plenty of time to catch up since their inital release on their each platform, then remastered collection of it to PS3 then to PS4. PS4 a lot of people own as well sold so well so if anyone wants to catch up they probably already own a PS4 somewhere or you can get a cheap one by now easily even if it's just for exclusives worth it at this point

I hope it does come to Xbox eventually. Frankly, I'm surprised the remasters didn't come before KH3 was announced and on both PS4 and XO. It would've been a decent way for them to judge the interest Xbox players generally have in the series. Hell, Final Fantasy XV on PS4 decimated the XO version, but the XO version still sold well enough for it to be "profitable."
I question whether or not the game was truly profitable anyway, as it spent the better part of a decade in development.

Figures this pops up only a week after I buy the two collections. Still cool for those who still don't have these games.
Oh I know; as a long time fan I'm actually amused (and admittedly a tad disappointed) it's not something ridiculous

It was up for preorder at GameStop, so unless I'm wrong it should be available on online stores like Amazon soon.

Do you think it'd be better playing KH3 on XB1X or PS4 Pro? I currently have it pre ordered on X (physical, so can change easy) but might switch to PS4, since I'd probably want to buy this series and then just move to 3 from there and it seems better on just one platform.
Thank you!! I did a check immediately but nothing got flagged in google.
Well, I didn't get 1.5 and 2.5 on the PS4 (I have them on PS3), but I do want them on it. I also haven't gotten 2.8 yet. This seems like the ideal collection for me to get.
Can't believe it's all going to be in the one package. That's quite an impressive collection, indeed.

A few weeks ago, we reported that Kingdom Hearts III was targeting 60 FPS on Xbox One X and ran the game quite well despite some frame rate fluctuations. Now, it seems like Digital Foundry was able to confirm the resolution as well. According to the outlet, the title was running at native 4K resolution with an unlocked frame rate during E3 2018. The outlet also made it clear that the build was running on an Xbox One X development kit and they didn't expect the PlayStation 4 Pro to render at native 4K.
Except, FF XV and MH World sold really well on Xbox (as has Dark Souls). SE announcing the legacy FF titles as multiplat is much more confusing based on your theory of events.
No problem, you should definitely follow Wario64 on twitter lol. He's the one who notified me the game was up at multiple retailers.
Well, if there is ever a time for everyone to get into this epic...
I already have both collection, so I just need to get through them before III comes out.

Actually, KH3 was revealed at Sony's E3 2013 event. I remember because I immediately preordered a PS4 after that, even though I knew KH3 wouldn't be out for a long while. I think the XBox version was mentioned a couple of days later. If they didn't announce an XBox port for this new collection after skipping the first ones, it's not happening.
I'd bet money that the large majority of the KH fanbase has always been on PlayStation and already has a PS4 for it.
