Nomura talks about a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection

In the PS2 era, the Kingdom Hearts franchise was one of the biggest and most popular series. In the last six years we however only got handheld games of Kingdom Hearts. Many people would are already waiting quite some time for a real KH console game. Unfortunately, we will still have to wait a long time before Kingdom Hearts 3 will be announced and released, although there might be a chance for another KH game for the PS3 and 360.

If he doesn't announce a HD collection next year or a console game of Kingdom Hearts, i'll go crazy

disturbing_flame4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

I would prefer a new episode.
If i had the choice, i 'd choose a new Kingdom Hearts over a FFXIII-2 episode.

I think also Nomura should stop bullsh*tting everyone and say to people what happened to FFXIII Versus.

Kingsora4660d ago

I do to, but considering the main KH team is still working on FF Versus XIII, the chances of getting a new KH game for consoles is quite small.

That's why I would already be very happy with a HD collection. That's easy to develop and can be given to an other studio than the team that developped KH games for consoles.

disturbing_flame4660d ago

I understand you even if sometimes i feel like sad that today studios tends to offer us only HD remakes.

It's great for someone that hadn't played a game on the previous generations but it's an easy way to make money.

The hard way would have been to do remakes (i mean real remakes), it's maybe restrictive in terms of narration to re-create a world and replace same dialogues in it, but it's more creative than just make a HD lifting to a game of the previous gen.

Inception4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

For versus, it's looks like nomura got his hand forced by wada for making it multiplat but wada command him not to speak in the public. Why? we knew that SE just had loss big chunk of money because FF XIV, cancel some projects, and closed SE LA. And the way they will got back those money are making more multiplats. But in the meantime they don't want to offend Sony / PS3 fans.

The_Devil_Hunter4660d ago

Better an HD collection than no HD collection.
Its just so tedious how the Japanese take so long to complete a game

Make it happen Nomura! Besides Jak this is really the only hd collection left that I want. Oh and make it the Final Mix versions please :)

Quagmire4659d ago

I thought Final Mix was only released in Japan?

Soplox4659d ago

Thats why. Instead of giving us the normal they can give us the Final Mix version of both games. And by doing that they will make those who wanted to play them but couldnt cuz they were only released in Japan happy.

supersonicjerry4660d ago

I would love for them to make this I would buy it; I also would like for them to make a new one for the ps3 that's not KH3. One more thing I hope none of it gets released to the 360 it needs to stay Playstation only.

Kingsora4660d ago

Who cares, the more people can enjoy the franchise, more people will buy games of the KH franchise. Which will hopefully result in more KH games for consoles.

WhiteLightning4660d ago

PS2, GBA, Mobile, DS, PSP and a 3DS title

I think enough people have enjoyed the franchise and that still hasn't made them make KH3.

Don't get me wrong people should be allowed to enjoy games but KH should be left as a PS title. I don't want to learn theres cut content being sold as DLC after it comes out.

Not every game needs to be MP

"Don't get me wrong people should be allowed to enjoy games but KH should be left as a PS title. I don't want to learn theres cut content being sold as DLC after it comes out."

How about no and stop being such a fanboy, why don't we just let others who haven't tried the game yet enjoy it as much as you want. And the DLC thing is getting old now >_> because many developers are doing the same thing, so you might as well get use to it.

smashman984659d ago

if kingdom hearts 3d can look as good as it does on the 3ds then i dont see why it would looks or play worse on the much more powerfull 360 as long as they make the games an equal experience it shouldn't be a problem

Zynga4660d ago

Fanboy much! I want this to happen so badly but don't limit others from enjoying an amazing franchise.

MrSpace4660d ago Show
Zynga4659d ago

@MrSpace

Apparently you got issues and don't care about others opinion but urself.

"Kingdom Hearts wouldn't even go well with 360 owners since there so fixed on FPS."

Oh really then why is the metal gear solid collection coming to the 360 also. Obviously your a fanboy who's scared that an amazing franchise will go multiplatform and don't want others to enjoy it, like they have with Mass Effect 2 on the PS3.

WhiteLightning4659d ago

Well said MrSpace

The difference with MGS is that Metal Gear Solid rising is also coming to the 360 AS WELL as the PS3.

KH is different, as he said above if people want to enjoy it they will buy a PS3. It's not like retailers are going to refure to sell 360 fans a PS3 and KH3 when it comes out. I wanted Halo when it first came out...I bought a Xbox, problem solved.

smashman984659d ago

Not everone has money to burn some people have bills to pay, mouths to feed and other things more important than games if they could do the game multiplat then why the hell shouldnt they kingdom hearts did not max out the ps2 in any which way what so ever it was a great game with good graphics

either way i dont care it just saddens me to see people saying things like oh dont let it go on this system blah blah

the more systems it goes on, the more it sells, the more people enjoy it, and so on and so forth in the end the companies make more money, and are able to pump out more games, the devs keep their jobs and get something new under their resume'. I mean no one loses

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 19h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 10h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 1h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow11h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX1d 22h ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney5h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 21h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 19h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 19h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 4h ago
fsfsxii1d 6h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 4h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
