Next-gen is being considered for the HD collections, plus more-- Yasue talks KH2.5 with IGN

[Setrex 1,031]

I'd honestly be surprised if there wasn't some sort of "complete" collection for next gen before the release of Kingdom Hearts III. The big one though is Dream Drop Distance, do they remake it before KH3 or do they simply just recap the events slightly at the beginning of the game? I don't think KH3D needs to be remade any time soon but to deny the fact the story is important seems silly to me. Though, Yasue did kind of give the impression that by playing 1.5 & 2.5 you'd be ok going into KH3... so really it's anyone's guess.

[Hero of Winds 2,576]

Yeah! Because the fans totally love it when you make them spend money on previous gen console version just for you to give them a big f**k you. At least these dun have DLC unlike TLOU that I spent $20 extra (others may have spent more separately) to get and PS4 owners get everything for the price of the single game. I know it's no big deal, but show some appreciation to your dedicated fans will ya!

[KH4Real 749]

Here is an idea let KH3 also have a downgraded version then everyone is happy.

Except for the one who buys a PS4 for it. I think I'm going to wait a bit more after KH3 is released.

Oh well nothing is confirmed yet just a though.

They'd better find some way to make it cheaper for those of us who get the PS3 versions. I'm getting a PS3 on Tuesday, and plan on getting 1.5 with it. I'll be pissed off if a re-release comes right after. -_-

[jadentheman 72]

He didn't say they will, just that it's under consideration. I'm sure they have LOTS of things under consideration. I'm betting they'll just use PlayStation Now since it's confirmed Square Enix is supporting it.

 

They won't use Playstation Now for KH unless they fix that contract with Utada's music. As long as it stands KH must have physical releases. Case in point, they can't use Playstation Now. That and the fact that they would want Xbox to also have a version too. They can't stream PS3 games to Xbox. thirdly they already remastered these games and the source on PC dev anyway. It's easy to port that down to next gen consoles.

 

I believe the chances are high. Square only seems to be doing HD remasters now, Nomura wants all KH on a centrailized console(s) [KH3 along with 1.5& 2.5], they were only planning for PS3 because Square didn't get the console sdks from either Sony or Microsoft, and of course more money.

 

Either way hoping for a PC release but if not then PS4 will do. I don't see them announcing those versions till after 2.5 releases worldwide anyway as to sucker all you guys to buying the PS3 version of the games and maximize sales.

KH1.5+2.5 Mega Collection for PS4 and Xbone. 2015. You heard it here first.

[patrickx 9]

I don't think it will be considering KH3D is already rendered in an HD format. Plus KH3D has a section for cutscenes so it wouldn't really be necessary.

 

I don't think KH3D is in HD

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Well, seeing as how they are thinking of porting the games to the PS4, I think it's safe to say that this might be what Nomura has in store for next year's Kingdom Hearts release, thus allowing Nomura and the team to finish work on KH3 for a 2016 release.  It makes sense, so I think that Square will lean on the porting to PS4 option. 

[SHAZOW 269]

Fingers crossed for next gen ports. I have the PS3 Collectors Edition of 1.5. but I don't necessarily have a ps3 anymore (it's complicated, I have it but at the same time I don't...). The HD ports of Kingdom Hearts would go nicely with my other PS4 games

 

I'm throwing all my money at my screen but nothing is happening... Edited June 15, 2014 by SHAZOW

[Dr. Shimo 202]

I just want to be able to buy a PS4 (cause I don't have a PS3 either). Bought 1.5 to play on a friend's PS3, but he no longer lives nearby. Besides, many of the games I wanted to play I likely could with Playstation Now, or have already played. That said, if I find a good refurbished PS3 at a lower price, I'd be likely to go for it.

[Soratus37 25]

YES please yes!!! That way I can have 1.5, 2.5 and 3

All on one console!!! My favorite franchise of all time bundled together in glorious HD please square please. And I have a 3ds for DDD so we are golden, square please.!!! Take my money

[cadbane1995 0]

I have the perfect title name for the possibility of them bringing these collections to PS4:Kingdom Hearts HD 4.0 Remix: the combination of 1.5 and 2.5 only on PS4. (what's cool of naming that 4.0 is that if you add 1.5 and 2.5, it equals 4 and it also fits for the PS4) That would be absolutely perfect

But then it would confuse many more casual players lol, they'd think it's KH4. Then again, Square Enix did have KH3D which fit the 3DS, and it still confused some casual people, so it's definitely not impossible

There is no "one game a year" thing.

 

 

 

And yet Kingdom Hearts III is coming to Xbox One.

 

 

 

That's not true, Kingdom Hearts begun development before that mess. Sony purchased those shares after The Sprits Within's mess.

Of course its coming to the Xbox One, all that I said is I think its a waste of time.  If it helps drive sales, great.

[Pjacks2 20]

I wouldn't mind a simple port to the PS4, nothing that takes too much time and resources.

[Godskeybladewarrior 73]

Well if there's not KH3D, I don't know who could buy again the hd remix collection.

I have an Xbox 360 and both my brothers have Xbox next gens. As much as I want a PS3 just to play KH 1&2.5 remixes, I have other priorities that require the money I am working for. But if they make the HD collection for next gen, I can play it on the next gen.

I understand your reasons, but why should they make the next gen porting also for XONE if they have not released it for X360?

[Godskeybladewarrior 73]

Because its painfully obvious the HD collections are PS3 exclusives at this time. Look at what 343 is doing with Halo 1&2 HD, releasing them on the next gen along with 3 and 4. It's very possible the same could happen with the Kingdom Hearts series, release all the games with KH3 on nextgen as a console bundle. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

[DZG-Fearleas 4]

I hate xbox, have always been extremely biased toward playstation but If they're bringing KH3 to Xbone then it will get the HD games as well. Quote me on that.

[SkyEmerald 73]

I don't think the sales will be that good either as I don't think the XBox one fan base has been as exposed to the series as they could be. I think the majority of sales will come from the PS 4 if they were to make it on only those two.

 

I wonder if they'll considering the Wii U too...

 

Btw about Kh 3D. Perhaps they could make it into an HD movie like they did with Days and are doing with Re:Coded, for the release on the new gen consoles if they do go ahead with the idea.

WiiU...lol.

 

KH3D's reality shifts and touch scren featurs can be ported to take advantage of kinect and PS4 touch pad. I don't want a movie. I want an HD remaster with a 3D option. 3D's effect is more pronounced in 1080p so I can enjoy it more.

Playing KH3 without playing (or knowing anything about) KH3D is kinda nosense...

[liamaru 294]

im interested to see if weither or not kingdom hearts collections will come out on ps4 latter down the line if so how will it look will it look better or pretty much the same.

Yeah but, it's not the same to play the games though...What I mean is that the story of DDD is VERY important, because explains a lot of things and at the same time it adds new things (like time travel, the real goal of Xehanort etc.)
