Speaking to Italian magazine Multiplayer, Tetsuya Nomura said their team has always found it difficult to pin down the right timing for announcing Kingdom Hearts III due to a number of factors. This includes constant pressure from fans asking what project they are working on, wariness on game information leaks that spoil big surprises, and risking having gamers believe in fake rumors. If and when these happen, Nomura dreads having to deny or respond to these information.
“The same thing happened with the remake of Final Fantasy 7,” said Nomura as translated by Kingdom Hearts Insider. “I am well aware of the fact that we announced it too early, but even in the industry, word was beginning to spread that we were working on the game, so we just decided not to keep it more secret and officially reveal it.”
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
Original designer Bruce Nesmith has admitted that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's level scaling was a "mistake"
I do appreciate the changes to the levelling system in the remaster which lessens the hassle of min/max with regards to effects class skills have on attributes(missed these in Skyrim).
The level scaling is still a problem though as you end up with crappy uniques if you find them low level. They did fix this with regards to items from one of the DLCs but it should be across the board.
Famitsu: " In this article, we interviewed the development team at Sucker Punch Productions, based on what was revealed in the trailer. We asked them in detail about what was depicted in the trailer and what the title of this work is. "
Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced in 2013 to promote the future of the franchise after Dream Drop Distance released the year prior and KH1.5 was going to release later in the year for the western market
Final Fantasy VII Remake on the other hand looks to be steering people’s attention away from the eventual Final Fantasy XVI. This is the longest we’ve gone without having any news on the next numbered FF game.
You don't say?!
Tetsuya, a lot of gamers have been waiting most of their lives - with some not even being born yet - for a title like either one of these to come along and you're actually defending the idea that announcing it early was necessary?
It's okay to defend Square Enix's decision, I suppose (after all, they are your employer) but the excitement was there, trust me. It wasn't going anywhere. Two decades, or a little less, of fan hounding on just Final Fantasy 7 can attribute to that. As for leaks and rumors, deny them or stay silent. Everyone else does.
In direct comparison Dragon Quest XI got announced in 2015 and got released only 2 years later
Hes been on a roll with honestly lately he even fired shots at final fantasy 15 too
And this after finding out the sky is blue? What a day...
