Wow, I'm sorry but this site blows for viewing pictures... I have to answer survey questions before I can freaking look at them!? Forget that.

I don't have to do a survey?? Got ad blocker etc on?

Looks miles better anyway for those who can't see.

Edit-
That's weird. Don't know why I don't have to answer anything.

Here's some direct links where hopefully you won't need the questions

Anarki4048d ago

I have adblocker, I still have to answer questions to view the pictures. Not worth it...

Snookies124048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

Yeah man, I have Ad Blocker on, still have to do them lol.

EDIT:

Ah, thanks for the links. They certainly do look much better!

Sephiroushin4048d ago

I don't have to do any survey!

The HD looks way better on the pics, a lot cleaner too. Now i just have to wait for my copy to see it on my big TV screen! ...

WildArmed4047d ago

That's weird, I'm getting that too.

I don't remember Examiner having this crap before.

Azurite4048d ago

Hope the opening song switches too if you select another language.

Snookies124048d ago

Wait... They're including the Japanese voice track??

Sephiroushin4048d ago (Edited 4048d ago )

I don't see why they wouldn't, the JP ver has an option for english voice acting!

Edit: But now that I remember I read that it won't support JP voice over ...

here reply from post #10: http://blog.eu.playstation....

Snookies124048d ago

@Sephiroushin - Yes indeed it does, but there's always the issue of having to pay those voice actors as well if it's included in the localized version.

I'd love to have both available...

Azurite4048d ago

@Sephiroushin: That sucks :/
I'll check up on the ASIA region release then... they often have original voice actors and English subtitles as a choice.

Tapani4048d ago

I would have to agree with that one. Utada Hikaru's song was written and composed originally in Japanese.

While she is a very capable singer in English (She was born in NY, but lived mostly in Japan and is Japanese), I just feel that the English version felt a bit forced.

I recommend her album Heart Station, if you want to listen her best Japanese music.

I'm a big fan of Hikke and Kingdom Hearts got me into her music :)

Pyrrhus4048d ago

So pumped to get back into this franchise again when it gets released. Squenix needs to stop producing spin-offs and work on an installment on the main platforms.

Capt-FuzzyPants4047d ago

The "spin-offs" add a LOT to the story. If you play KH1 and KH2 but don't play the handheld titles (most of them really aren't spinoffs) you will be so confused when you play KH3 when it eventually comes out.

don't care...just want 3...3 better look better than the CGI from 2

Snookies124047d ago (Edited 4047d ago )

Calm your face, Nomura said he would start on 3 after Versus XIII. So... That means it'll never happen lol! Nah, I kid... Seriously though, I want 3 as much as the next guy, but these HD collections are a great deal. It'll catch you up on any handheld games you might have missed, not to mention give you trophies/achievements, features that were never released in the regular versions as well as an amazing movie for 358/2 Days. Not to mention it's a cheap price for all of that packaged into one game. Now, I've already beaten every one of them, including the Final Mixes, and handheld versions, but I'm still quite happy this is being done. Having them all in one place on a console. (Yes 2.5 HD is coming as well, which will include KH2 Final, Birth by Sleep [Final]?, and Re:Coded [Movie]?)

Which Kingdom Hearts games should you play

Kingdom Hearts has exploded. While Kingdom Hearts III is only the third game in the trilogy, it is one of many titles that rounds out the series' lore. It is a lot to take in, and people might not have time to go through all of it. Fortunately, Michibiku's guide is here to help! To help better illustrate what is going on and what people should be playing, here is the full timeline going through when every game happens and if someone should watch or play through each one.

1/2, Birth by Sleep, and Dream drop distance skip the rest.

Double_O_Revan1917d ago

Chain of Memories and 358/2 have a lot of important stuff that lead into KH2. Otherwise you'll be Really lost at beginning of 2. You can easily find a videos of all the cutscenes of both games so you dont have to play through them all the way.

Pyrofire951917d ago

Wouldn't actually say Chains is necessary before going into 2 since you know just as much as Sora. While I do like a lot from 358/2, aside from a few things it's mostly world/character building Days came out after 2 anyway and would take a lot of mystery away. Maybe I'm just trying to simulate how I experienced the story but in that case I actually started playing 2 first lol. Cutscenes should be sufficient for sure.

Pyrofire951917d ago

I'd through 0.2 in there as well just cause it's so short and has a decent amount of information. What the hell did Mickey mean?
