Is It Too Late For Kingdom Hearts?

Players have been waiting for thirteen years since Kingdom Hearts III was teased. With such a long wait, fans' anticipation may have set the bar too high.

[PressXtoBacon]

I think you're right, but you're wrong. God of War took forever and look how that turned out. This will be great!

[Jinger]

GoW only took 5 years and they also completely changed the game. I'm not sure it's all that quick to make all those Disney universes

[PressXtoBacon]

True. It must be a nightmare for the animation and design teams, but at least KH has the advantage of loadign screens

[UCForce]

Still hate God Of War, aren’t ya ?

[UCForce]

It’s never too late for Kingdom Heart. Also, I think you got salty about the successful of God of War. I know you did played the game, but you just being “nostalgia” way too much.

[Jinger]

@UCForce

Uh, maybe read again? I was actually using GoW as a good example...

[UCForce]

Ok, I was misleading by your word. I will try this again. It never too late for Kingdom Hearts because people played the KH3 and have a lot of positive impressions but they said the game is still retaining the charm of old Kingdom Heart games which is good thing. Another reason is that, Kingdom Heart is pretty special for everyone. I’m sure the game will exceed people expectations. And God of War is more about soft reboot and it needed to change and it paid off.

[Jinger]

@UCForce

... smh

Read my comment one more time and maybe you will get it. I'm not digging at either game.

1. GoW only took 5 years because of the soft reboot.
2. KH3 is taking a while because it has to mimic and get correct all those Disney universes especially since Disney expects high quality...

Neither of these things are a bad thing. So get off my ass.

[UCForce]

“So get off my ass” Well, That’s sound personal from you. But in the end, God of War did well and i’m sure Kingdom Heart 3 will do well,too.

[Jinger]

@UCForce

I can't tell if you're just dense or straight up have a disability.

[twiggytree12]

^LMFAO

[SuperSonic91]

Dude the Disney of today is way too different than the Disney when KH1 was made.
Disney is on a mission to make AAA blockbuster games equivalent to blockbuster movies according to Marvel Games exec in a Spiderman PS4 interview.

Did you notice the super high quality of Spiderman ( Marvel is owned by Disney) and KH3 Pixar ( also owned by Disney) like quality?
You can bet Disney will push KH3 very very hard.
I also saw the social reaction to KH3 especially teens.

Nintendo is gonna be green envy and jelly this holiday season.

[InKnight7s]

I want it to happen, but at KH potentials it should be a huge title in place of Witcher 3, Drak Souls etc but KH will never hit thst because of oveeeer milking spin off and tooons of hearts stories that isn't even providing fun story at all.Simplify the idea and nore BBS style could make thinfs bettet , but SE choose potables for 10 years over a console. Its too late.

[3-4-5]

What is Nintendo going to be "jelly" about? Each company has their own company to worry about. I think they are doing ok with Smash Ultimate & 2 Pokemon's on the horizon.

[lociefer]

X

[lociefer]

I don't see no godamn bacon

[lociefer]

You with EA bro ?

[PressXtoBacon]

First you press x, then you pay me, then you bacon.

EA way

[Chevalier]

FF XV took over 10 years and did fine. I think KH will do fine

[nucky64]

GoW4 didn't take 12 years to come out.

[Knightofelemia]

I think the wait is worth it Disney has grown since then and made more movies that the KH franchise can use to tell a better and stronger story for the KH fans.

[PressXtoBacon]

But this far in, aren't the Disney worlds just a plot device for the keyblade story to be told? I think at this point, Disney settings are just a selling point and Squenix is on their own to finish their story

[Jinger]

I stopped caring after the first game, but for the fans it looks great.

[PressXtoBacon]

But the second one is so good

[RedDevils]

Hope you don't buy the 3rd lol

[GamesMaster1982]

Looks awesome too me. Took its sweet time mind and just glad I’m still here after all these years waiting . But I’m just ready for it now more than ever . Bring it on !

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Is it too late for good journalism?

[PhoenixUp]

“One could argue that new summons and keyblade abilities would be enough to bring new life to combat, but as we’ve already journeyed down that road before, what does Kingdom Hearts III bring to the table that we haven’t seen before?“

Are you serious?

- The worlds will feature original stories that also tie into the overarching plot of KH3 rather than being watered-down retellings of their Disney movies with almost no connection to the overarching plot.

- The worlds in addition to being massive will also contain plenty of NPCs so they don’t seem so barren.

- Also worth noting is that the cutscenes are now animated to feel like actual Disney movies than just video game cutscenes. Many of the Disney characters now have greater involvement in the plot and go through character development rather than just being relegated to their original roles.

- NPCs no longer speak in text. All dialogue outside of cutscenes are voiced.

- You no longer have to replace Donald or Goofy for the resident world party member. All party memebers will be on the field at the same time.

- Sora is the most versatile agile protagonist the series has ever seen.

There’s plenty more new things, but if you really think KH3 is nothing but more of the same then you’re a lost cause.

[PressXtoBacon]

So much butt hurt here...

[UCForce]

I agree with you. I don’t take seriously with modern journalists these day. I prefer Easy Allias to be honest.

[Snookies12]

Just stop... Lol, no it's not too late. Thank you, end of discussion.

[FallenAngel1984]

With the amount of hype that KH3 is receiving how can you honestly ask that question? If the game had a slew of news with little fanfare then this article would hold more merit.

[PressXtoBacon]

I think all the how is the very reason to question it. Marketing is one thing, final product is another.

Duke Nukem Forever, Destiny, No Mans Sky, FFXIII all had a lot of hype around them, but couldn't deliver on all of their promises. It happens frequently enough so taking a marketing team's word at face value probably isn't wise.

[Antnee534]

Well i think since they kept giving us more kh games to play for all this time it should not be an issue. I know im most hyped for kh3 and pokemon 2019 and anything else next year will be the cherry on top

[UCForce]

No, it’s never too late.

[Platformgamer]

wtf no, kingdom hearts it's never too late

[DragonDDark]

A lot of KH games released after KH2

[Larrysweet]

No cuz itll sell millions

[Larrysweet]

People are whinny mad cux how long but theyll still buy it

[CrimsonWing69]

That E3 trailer didn’t do it any favors. When I look at the game I can’t see why this took so long to develop.

[Shmeidi]

I agree. Nothing in that trailer did anything to blow me away.

[gangsta_red]

The game looked fantastic at E3.

[Harkins1721]

Find out next time on 1/25/2019!

[rivaldoo777]

This game looks mediocre at best. I'll have to save money for Days gone, Anthem , Metro exodus and maybe RE2 remake

[Harkins1721]

KH3 looks better than all of them.

[rivaldoo777]

Nah Anyhem is going to destroy this. We know what to expect coming from square. There games are mediocre starting with final fantasy.

[Harkins1721]

I'm sure all of them will do great but KH3 has years of hype behind it. If it's looks mediocre to you then you have no tastes behind games. Even I can admit with games I'm not interested in looks great. All has to do with internet buzz and hype and KH3 is full of it.

[rivaldoo777]

In 2016 Final Fantasy 15 was my most anticipated game along with Uncharted 4. It ended up FF15 the most disappointment of that year. From then on, all their big budget games are off my radar. Nonetheless, I am willing to be proven wrong.

[NotanotherReboot]

It's too late for newcomers

[Sm311M3Fart]

Got myself All-In-One Edition recently, still an excellent games. I should be ready before 3 comes out.

[jznrpg]

Nope it looks dope

[AK91]

No

[shinoff2183]

No I just started 2.5. Never played these back in the day so I'll be fine
