Nomura: No plans to release Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX or HD 2.5 ReMIX on PlayStation 4

It's a shame. Would of made a great addition to PS4.

This is both good and bad: 

Good, because Nomura would have used the team behind Kingdom Hearts III to make it, thus delaying KH3

Bad, because I really want to play them on PS4 lol maybe later as an ultimate Xehanort Saga collection.

I rather play them on the PS3. But I just wish the PS4 was freaking backwards compatibility though.  So I can just get a PS4 and not both.

Oh well.

I told you flippin so, but you wouldn't believe me! You see, I am not as dumb as people think I am! (A Win For Me!)

W-E-L-P

I am fine with this, Nomura needs to focus on his new titles (KH3 and FFVII). Square is expecting big things from him and he and his team don't have time to worry about ports. Consequently, this probably means DDD HD will not be coming anytime soon unless it has been in the works for a good amount of time.

At least PS4 can play PS3 games........right?

Nope

But they can change that like what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, right? 

Well, since I'm sure Nomura and the gang don't want to delay Kingdom Hearts III's development any longer, maybe this is why they won't port the ReMixes over to PS4!

But they can change that like what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, right?

It's less likely given the difference in the consoles. Plus Square themselves would specifically have to enable the backwards compatibility, which can probably isn't that likely for KH.

Anyway, I'm not fussed. It could only have been so much better anyway. Hopefully this isn't a knock on the DDD HD port that's totally coming.

I feel I always have to say this, but "not plans" isn't the same as "never plans"

It's something that could still happen, it's just not in the cards right now

But they can change that like what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, right? 

it's less likely for the PS3, since they used a really weird structure that's hard to duplicate, which means emulating it on PS4 would be more difficult than 360 on Xbox one

Also, XB1 backwards compaibility works on download games, which, as OP stated, KH1.5 and 2.5 never got

It will probably happen after KH3 is released, along with Kh3 Final Mix and KH:DDD Final Mix all on PS4

Not sure if Nomura is just keeping it secret until a proper announcement later in the year. Then again, if the Osaka team has their hands full making KH3 and Unchained Chi on the side, this might be true.

Well that sucks, but at the end of the day I've already played those games so I'm not too bummed out

If anything it's nice to see that they're putting KH3 as their main priority

Well, I wasn't planning on getting rid of my PS3 after getting a PS4, anyway. 

I'm ok with this as I have both collections any ways. It seems that if 1.5 and 2.5 were to hit the PS4 it certainly won't be until after the dust settles with KH3. This also gives Dream Drop Distance a chance to grow older and possibly be included, so who knows. 

Maybe they'll make a full collection AFTER KH3 releases. Hopefully with the remixes and kh3 and maybe even kh3d

I've heard it has something to do with Disney's copyright, as I've never really seen any downloadable KH games before, and PS4 games are either download-only or physical + download.
