Why Kingdom Hearts must return to consoles

Joystiq:

It's time for Kingdom Hearts to go back to home consoles. Square Enix have scrunched four of these games onto tiny handheld screens now – five if you want to count the oddball Chain of Memories. That's five games worth of parsing the shadows of Traverse Town in the glare of the sun while riding the bus. Five games worth of Kingdom Hearts' nausea-inducing camera on those tiny screens.

SE games that gamers care about:
-Kingdom Hearts 3
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII
-Final Fantasy Type-0

Games no one cares about:
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Final Fantasy XIII-2
-Final Fantasy XIII-3
-Final Fantasy XIV

Games Square Enix cares about:
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Final Fantasy XIII-2
-Final Fantasy XIII-3
-Final Fantasy XIV

Agreed. I'm not sure why the communication is SO BAD between the developers and their audience. It's like they just don't get it...

Games that actually matter?
None, because by the time one that does finally releases, I pray to God the fans that are still left would have finally given up by then.

Square Enix is a joke now.

i dont think kingdom hearts 3 is coming ps3 , most likley ps4 now and im okay with that, but they cant least make a fucking HD REMAKE of 1 and 2

crxss4284d ago

i'm NOT ok with kh3 coming out on ps4.

and if they're going to remake 1 and 2, then 3 is coming out for ps3, simple as that.

They should package KH1/2, Re Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, Re: Coded, Birth By Sleep, and DDD into one huge HD collection for the PS3 all leading up to a secret trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled8d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle14d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger13d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag13d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
