Anticipating that release date, hoping its a summer release maybe august but that's got to be wishful thinking.

Can't wait for 2.9 with everything on it :)

blest2881d ago

How real is 2.9?? Has it actually been confirmed?

-Foxtrot2881d ago

No but it's Square

Just before KH3 they will release it

More money more money

It will have everything on. I mean why not call this 2.9 then...why 2.8 unless you are saving the final 0.1 spot for the last game before KH3

_-EDMIX-_2881d ago

Not sure why you would even question that lol

Square is very likely going to have some mega collection called 2.9 that is all the KH games similar to the MGS Legacy collection.

I mean....Square sorta has a history with ports so I see no reason to not think that will likely happen

scark922881d ago

I seriously hope you are right!

-Foxtrot2881d ago

I don't want to be arrogant but it makes sense, we know what Square Enix are like.

If KH3 is coming out they will want to cash in on the series one last time. It will have everything on it.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5
Kingdom Hearts 2.5
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

and so on

ANNNNND maybe, just maybe they will do a super cool collectors edition, they did one for the 1.5 + 2.5 release remember.

mt2881d ago

that is why i refused to pay for the previous ones.. why divide them when they can be put into one disc.

-Foxtrot2881d ago

I was doing a full on playthrough of Kingdom Hearts. Getting EVERYTHING as I go for 100%...then it hit me "You're a moron, the PS4 has just came out and you are playing on a game which will obviously get a PS4 release"

So now I wait.

_-EDMIX-_2881d ago

Because it still cost money and time to remaster those games. They need to FIRST see if folks will even buy those collections to justify the actual work.

Those remaster sales are likely paying for the development of that mega collection. Also why wait? Kingdom Hearts 1.5 released before PS4 was even out. The goal of the business is to make money, not develop and wait for your convenience.

They merely can do both. Start making them before PS4 releases and just re-release them for PS4 once they have enough funding.

They "divide them" to fund that version on "one disc" bud. This way we get them for those who want it now and a version for those who want to wait for the PS4 version. Everyone wins out of this.

scark922881d ago (Edited 2881d ago )

In regard your reply to mt.

I am in the exact same boat, I own Kingdom Hearts 1.5 but decided to wait for a PS4 version, I just hope we get it a bit before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out because I want to play KH3 as soon as it releases!
I do not want to hold off til I beat the collection, I would like to get it out of the way before KH3.

blest2881d ago (Edited 2881d ago )

Ahh man then I can't wait !! Lol

ninsigma2881d ago

I'm still annoyed they put the first 2 remasters on ps3 only. Should have just waited for ps4 to do it (still release on ps3 as well though).

Omnislashver362881d ago (Edited 2881d ago )

From what I hear, the reasoning may have to do with Utada Hikaru not allowing downloadable versions of her song, meaning, they have to be on a physical medium. If this is why, then then songs may be getting remixed(without Utada) for KH2.9 which will have downloadable versions.

And another rumor, is that the person doing the remixing is Skrillex: puke.

If this rumor is true, you can blame Utada for 1.5 and 2.5 not being on PS4, and you can blame Utada for -possibly- introducing Skrillex to KH. Fuck, if 2.9 is remixed with Skrillex, do not buy!

ninsigma2881d ago

Why would that stop it being on ps4??
Heard about Skrillex, that would sicken me to the core if that happens. I will sign every petition available to not let that happen!

DivoJones2881d ago

For real.. it's catching up to Ninja Gaiden Black for number of re-re-releases.

Kalebninja2881d ago

But this comes with a movie and a new short game its not just a remaster.

kevnb2881d ago

whoever thought of calling ports remasters was a genius.

Wallow2881d ago

All these games announcing trailers and news before e3 I don't know if it's because they know e3 will take their hype or their afraid of leaks. Either way I'm avoiding all gaming sites until e3.

Wow. That's a lot of games. Still no PSP, PS1, or PS2 titles though....................

RetroCaptainSteve535d ago

A bunch of Ratchet and Clank games though.

Eidolon535d ago

streamed. gross. I have a PS3.

CR7JUVE1897535d ago (Edited 535d ago )

Yeah, but they are only putting back what was originally on PS Now in the first place. This isn't worth the Premium Tier as of right now. They need to do a lot better on their legacy consoles titles

BABI-PANGPANG535d ago

Insane lineup! Was actually thinking of getting back into Skyrim and always wanted to give Division 2 a go but never around it.

Class_Viceroy534d ago

Umm if you want to “get back into” Skyrim wouldn’t that mean you already own it? I mean like 95% or the human population owns a copy of that game in some format.

I’m just confused as to how you’re excited to get back into it when you could literally buy the game for $5-10 for years now. The Division 2 has also been $10 for a while now.

Your excitement just seems a little inauthentic and cheesy. If you really wanted to play those games you could have by now and for dirt cheap.

BABI-PANGPANG534d ago

Haha alright, alright. Let me elaborate, sweety 😉

Last time I played Skyrim was back when it originally appeared on the PS3, so going back to it would feel like somewhat of a fresh experience, with better graphics ofcourse. Also never touched the DLC so that's a plus!

Since I have a full-time job and value my social life a lot, I don't have all the time in the world to try out every game I'm curious about. The Division 2 did spark my interest but since I was pretty disappointed by the first one I decided to give other games more priority. But now that I've got some time off from work and Sony is offering it through Plus, I might as well give it a shot. No way I'm able to finish it but that's ok.

Also, Im a big sucker for the old Kingdom Hearts games, so happy for anyone that's gonna give them a try.

Wether you agree with me or not, don't let it ruin your day, alright?

monkey602535d ago

Man PS Extra just isn't impressing me. I dont care that there's no big AAA games releasing day one on the service but the stuff they are adding is just old filler. I've played already.
Gamepass games might not all appeal to everyone but at least they give a broad mix of new games. Road 96, Echo Generation, Turtles, Streets of Rage, Signalis, Ghost Song, Somerville. They're all great additions.
Sony should have made some deals to bring the likes of F.I.S.T. RollerDrome and Inscryption to the service or games like them. Something of value.
I guess I got the wrong impression when they gave us Stray.

Eonjay535d ago

I feel the exact opposite. I have only played three of those games. I'm definitely taking advantage of this month.

monkey602535d ago

Good to hear. Hope you enjoy something you might not have otherwise

Eonjay534d ago

What you are saying makes sense for you because you have bought so many games. This isn't the case for most people. Services like this are great for finding and trying ges we might have been apprehensive about in the past. I finally get to try Ghost Recon, Earth Defense Force and KH 2.8

I understand your point of view tho.

gangsta_red535d ago

Echo Generation was an absolute blast to play. And I am enjoying Signalis at the moment, in between OW2 play. I definitely agree tho, the offerings for PS+ seem to be left overs from GP, they definitely need standout titles to make their service more appealing.

I guess if you don't have both consoles these would be some good games to play, but again, just as you stated, Sony should make more deals to bring games like similar to Stray to their service.

SurgicalMenace535d ago

There is another option; buy what you want to play instead of relying on a service to grant you access. All the games you mentioned are available for purchase. Sony is already granting a lot for only 120 yearly, that is equivalent to buying two games. Be grateful....

monkey602535d ago

I have bought those games. Well with the exception of Rollerdrome, I havent got that yet. And I have a library of over 800 games so you don't need to worry about my spending habits. I'm just saying the value just isn't there in the service for me. I find they do fantastic with the choices of games for PS Essential but Extra is disappointing and Premium is a joke. They really did just rebrand PSNow and there's no extra effort being made here. As it is, if my sub was up this month I wouldn't renew it

SurgicalMenace535d ago

Cool story bro, but I assure you that your spending habits are of no concern. While every person has their own taste, what stands out to me is the fact that you have 800 games but are complaining about what one serve offers over another.

I have well over 10k games but there is always an opportunity to discover and purchase more. Sony has one of the richest libraries acrossed several platforms so they don't need to offer more "appealing" games as they often just sell those. What sense would it make to give what's willing to be bought? GP has to appeal more because they're both losing market share and have a community of thrifty gamers. With a despondent economy of gamers you can't risk not offering everything to keep them engaged.

Crows90535d ago (Edited 535d ago )

For now. Stray was a day 1 release for instance. So was shadow warrior 3

shinoff2183535d ago

Fist looks incredible. Ive been waiting for a sale.

monkey602535d ago

It's a great game! I got equally excited for Clid the Snail but that was a dissapointment.

S2Killinit535d ago

Your opinion is the exact opposite of mine. I think the value of PSPlus is higher for my style of gaming.

nevin1535d ago

Sony needs to just come out and address the state of PS1/PS2/PSP classics to the public.

I paid $28 in June to test out the premium. But it looks like I won't be renewing for $120 in Dec.

shinoff2183535d ago

You do have a point. I want more classics. There loaded ps1 ps2 wise. Whats the deal. I still think the service is on par with gamepass where everything stands right now. But i need sone of those classic titles.

gleepot535d ago

PS Plus has been such a disappointment so far

Ooh. A whole 20% off of the $250 you're pushing on PC gamers for the whole collection. Despite all that content being had for $30 or under on Playstation, and you already taking money from Epic for bringing it to their store first.

Straight up greed.

SDuck1123d ago

1. Epic's the one going for the exclusivity
2. No, that content isn't $30 on PSN, I've checked it
3. You don't have to get everything at the same time. Better, just wait until Epic offers it for free

Inverno1123d ago

The physical All-in-one collection regularly goes down to 30. This has absolutely no business being sold in individual packs at full price.

MadLad1123d ago

Epic offered, Square accepted. They made money on the deal.
No idea what point you're trying to make there.
I didn't say "PSN", I said "Playstation". Google "Kingdom Hearts complete" and tell me what you see.
Your last point is literally you defending them highly upcharging on content that can be had for cheap lol.

What a joke.

Inverno1123d ago

Should've been the All-in-one collection, then KH3 Final Mix and MoM sold as full price ports. Least that way it'd make more sense, with Final Mix announcement for consoles as well. Be honest though, coming from Square this isn't suprising in the slightest.

Rachel_Alucard1123d ago (Edited 1123d ago )

I got reminded Disney has investors with Epic so that's why you see Disney+ advertising, marvel crossovers, star wars, and KH itself is all because of that.

VersusDMC1123d ago

Weird backlash on price when we get justifications for skyward sword switch at 60. Only kingdom hearts 2.8 is too expensive to me.
