In an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura explained why the recently announced Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentory Passage is a PlayStation 4 exclusive.
Looking back at Kingdom Hearts 0.2, we lay out how it has better level design than Kingdom Hearts III.
There is just no excuse for KH3 being as bad as it was. Did Disney pressure it and contribute to it being bad? Yes, but even without that, it was just a huge letdown filled with retcons and suddenly making it so everyone survives and nobody can really die. Some people said that the DLC will make it better, but I will not pay 30€ for a 4h DLC. And when Oblivion and Oathkeeper were finally added, I decided to try again, but I couldn't make it trough Hercules world without being overwhelmed by cringe.... And seeing how they went for a rhythm game as Kairi's main game entry, I doubt there's much future for the franchise...
KH3 was probably the worst KH game in the series. Visually, it was stunning but the gameplay was far too easy and the story was extremely bad. It seemed like Nomura really didn't care much for the main KH storyline anymore and just wanted to set up for KH4 which would combine a new KH storyline with concept ideas for VersusXIII that he's still salty about not making.
I agree, that KH0.2 had better level design. In fact, I'm willing to bet KH0.2 was originally going to be part of the game somehow. The Realm of Darkness is a major plot point and the first time we get a very in-depth gameplay in the realm is KH0.2. The other KH games only had final bosses or small fixed dungeon sequences. But in KH3, we get next-to-nothing. Just a repeat of the beach boss battle from 0.2.
As max said on YT doing his top 5 games of 2020. Square level designs are that of ps2 level designs.
Wait, I though the game was called Kingdom Hearts 2.8? Is 0.2 Birth By Sleep a regional variant for the name? Interesting how 2.8 + 0.2 add up to 3. Weird. I feel like I missed something!
Good first impressions matter, and how a game opens can convey how the next few hours will play out: mechanically, conceptually, narratively, fundamentally.
In Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 (0.2), there a secret boss rush fight that you can unlock in New Game+. All you have to do is find all 12 Zodiac Relics.
In other words, Most Sales happen on Playstation system only, as fans such game are predominately own Playstion system followed by nintendo system.
Why bother doing in other system and end up like FF type 0 where 95% of console sale happened on PS4. Why waste resource on console that doesn't appreciate such games.
Basically because this collection includes a demo for KH3 in the form of KH 0.2 BBS, it makes sense this is only for PS4 and not PS3
No one will buy this simply for the fact that they named the collection II.8.
So will this collection have all the games up to this point?
make a collection of all of them in one disc please
