Kingdom Hearts 2.8 for Xbox One?

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure about that; I think they'll find a way to do without any touch feature whatsoever, irregardless if it releases for X1 as well.

They could probably get away with using an analog stick as the touch features typically freeze the action anyway.

KH1 wasn't developed for the PS2 because it was the only competitive console at the time. It was developed for PS2 because Square had an exclusivity contract with Sony. There's no excuses for 2.8 to not be on Xbox One however.

 

Except money. Let's be blunt: In Japan the Xbox One's market is non-existent. That is a good portion of the people who are going to buy this game, and in the US it's barely doing that well. It's install base is almost half of the PS4's and Xbox loyalists (I.e. people who only play on Xbox) have never had a Kingdom Hearts Game, so it makes little point to port one of the later installments onto their system when they haven't had any of the previous games. From a marketing standpoint it makes no sense to release 2.8 on the Xbox One:

 

  • The system is not selling.
  • It's loyalists have never played any of the previous games.
  • It makes no sense to release the final chapter prologue and not the other 2 collections.

I would say they have every reason not to do it. Money is the greatest motivator and the money isn't there.

KH1.5 and 2.5 have a possibility of coming to the XBONE eventually. 2.8, not so much. It won't be released on the XBONE most likely.

KH1.5 has lisencing issues because of the KH1 exclusivity contract on PlayStation. However, there is no excuse for 2.5.

I don't know if anyone's paying attention to this forum anymore, but I'll be blunt with you all.

1. The sense of entitlement for some of KH fans seems to be at dickish levels. Seriously, I've NEVER seen a more self-important group of people for a game series.

2. KH has NEVER been exclusive to one developer. The first 2 games came out on PS2, spin-offs came out on mobile & Nintendo handhelds, & now we're getting 3 for Xbox One. So, just implying they only belong on 1 console & Xbox One owners "don't deserve KH" is one of the most ridiculous notions I've ever come across. It's like PC gamers saying games should only come out for PC, when consoles are perfectly fine.

3. Neither has Square for that matter. They've had games come out on all 3 of the major game developer's systems. Playstation & Nintendo's consoles, though not since the 90s for Nintendo, Nintendo's handhelds, mobile, & Xbox. The company is NOT exclusively PS, or Xbox, plain & simple. This isn't Naughty Dog with Uncharted. It's Kingdom Hearts for god's sakes.

4. Square, or at least the director of the series, Nomura, has said in the last year or so that they're seriously considering porting 1.5 & 2.5 to current gen consoles. They just need to take fan demand into account. Why would/should 2.8 be ANY different? Excuses excuses is all I'm getting. No legit reasons. Unless someone can come up with a legit reason why they can't be on both, I'm moving that we should ignore the people who make excuses without logic.

5. If Xbox One only sells well in every country EXCEPT Japan, why wouldn't they release it everywhere else for that console? That's what they're doing with 3 & it doesn't hinder the rest of the world's getting of the game on Xbox. Everyone's saying that we'll need every game before 3 to understand the entirety of what's going on, so that's even MORE reason to get it on Xbox.

Someone finally said what I was thinking, some fans are die hard Sony fanboys and it's very annoying when they say that Xbox doesn't deserve KH.

 

Oh and did we all forget that the Xbone is backwards compatible unlike the PS4? Therefore an Xbox 360 port of 1.5 and 2.5 will allow you to play it on the Xbox One. Or if 1.5 and 2.5 are coming to PS4 supposedly, then I don't see why they can't port it to Xbox One and leave Xbox 360 out.

 

With all the footage we've seen, it looks like DDD will use the analog sticks for reality shift, if not then I'm sure there's an easy work around-it's not that hard to change 1 minor feature.

 

All this stuff about how Square don't care about Xbox is silly and shows how little people actually know about the company. FF13, FF13-2. FF13-3, XV and supposedly FF7R  (Timed exclusive) are all on Microsoft platforms. Every FF game is on Windows PC/Steam with the exceptions of 12 and 15 (Which will be on Steam in by the end of 2018 more than likely).

Nah it is true. Won't be the same anyway on X1.

A fan can go to X1 but a true fan should stay with Playstation.

That makes zero sense a 'true fan'

 

I don't see where this and pardon my language dick riding on playstation started but it's a trend that needs to die KH has never been sony exclusive that stopped after the first KH game with COM

Re:Coded

All on Nintendo devices as said the reason future games didn't come out like 2 was because Square already dug their hole into the PS2 why port KH2 over to Xbox and Gamecube when the first game wasn't after the PS2 era the PS3 compared to the Xbox 360 and Wii was very flawed 360 was the dominating force 1.5 and 2.5's release was before they announced KH3 was going to be on Xbox one and when they did we all presumed at least 2.5 was going to be ported to the PS4 and Xbone.

 

Many Console fans and some KH fans got a Xbone because it was presumed to be a vastly superior again and everything was pointing to it being so (Though that mistake was made and even then the PS4 and Xbone are about equal from a running and technical stand point it's just their exclusives that make the PS4 better.) I'm glad KH is expanding there shouldn't be some True fan BS it's really bad and just makes the community look toxic I generally hate the outlook that KH is PS for lyfe even though it really only hurts the series being on one console. (Just like all exclusives.)

 

2.8 has every reason to be on the Xbone it's just SE being to lazy to use the controller for one of the games gimics because the PS4 controller touch pad is a gimic and DDD is using said gimic.

 

If they brought the gimic into a control scheme it ruins the point of even having the touchpad (Which is really stupid who here actually daily uses their touchpad on PS4? I don't.)

 

In the end it's just a bad buisness decision that's going to make people who bought a Xbone and are waiting for KH3 have to look up a let's play and miss out on seeing the Movie on their T.V. screen in non choppy HD and miss out on 0.2 and a HD making of DDD.

 

Oh and the other reason being Japan doesn't sell Xbox ones as much as us westerns.

Thanks Square way to dissapoint people like that.

 

 

Thank you to the people above me who present the facts and point out why this PS EXCLUSIVE BS is stupid.

And those titles are also on Playstation to keep the story up.

They really give about the Playstation fans.

 

But like they said it is probably cause of the Xbox sales in Japan.

1.5 has the excuse of licesnsing issues KH1 is the only sony exclusive KH game all the others were just 'there'

 

PS does a lot better in Japan because Sony is a japan based company Microsoft isn't that's kinda obvious.

 

2.5 came out before Kh3 was announced on the Xbox one so that's it's excuse 

 

From every aspect 2.5 was tilting on fan demand to be brought to Xbone and PS4 however no news on that other then their considering it.

 

2.8 has no excuse to not be on the Xbone and it's a slap in the face to people who are fans of KH but have a Xbone.

2.8 just shows how little they care for the xbox fanbase in general.

 

In the last 3+years since the announcement of KH3 the only time i recall them ever even mentioning the xbox version is when something asked,besides that it's always been ps4 this and how strong the system is etc.

 

Even when asked by the co-director of 2.8 he kinda went yep,pretty much and nothing else lol.

 

Since it isn't a big budget release and also the overall length i assume they just can't justify bringing porting it over,especially with how bad Type-0 sold.I mean you got huge fans who have ps4 who aren't even bothering with 2.8 as it is and the vast majority of the fanbase is on the ps4.

 

Pretty much after FF15,Type-0 and KH3 every single rpg they've announced since has had no xbox version showing they just don't care for xbox when it comes to rpgs,especially with smaller budgets.
