Could Kingdom Hearts Games Come To PC?

[Tails 6,690]

So, recently read that FF Type-0 HD is now confirmed for a PC release sometime and that SE is also looking at bringing Final Fantasy XV to PC sometime in the future (which I'm sure we ALL know they will do given the recent history of FF games coming to PC).. So I was thinking, what if the Kingdom hearts games came to PC? I mean just think about it, all the possible and hilarious mods people could do with it  Plus, I'm sure a lot of people would love to play a KH game on their PC with higher quality graphics. And given the recent treatment that SE has been giving their recent FF games the PC treatment, I think it's possible that future KH games (starting with KH3 or KH 1.5/2.5) to comes to PC.

 

 

What do you think?

Licensing could be a lot tougher than a FF game, but consider Disney's putting stuff like Disney Infinity out there KH3 for PC wouldn't surprise me at all at this point

It's safe to assume every FF going forward will make it to steam though

Yeah. Tbh, I would love to see a KH game come to PC mainly because I want to see all the cool mods that people will make out of it.

Damn. That's amazing news. If FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3 are confirmed for a PC release, I would have no reason to buy a PS4.

 

Having Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 release on PC would be sweet too.

[Klonoa the Dream Traveler 678]

Kingdom Hearts on PC? Yeah right. Like if Square Enix is actually gonna to do that. There's licensing issues.

If Kingdom Hearts 3 is made available digitally on console, we are pretty much guaranteed a PC release. But since 90% of PC sales are digital, it seems unlikely 1.5 and 2.5 will release on PC due to the licensing issues you mentioned.

my only issue would be the controls sure a keyboard and mouse work fine for a fps or a turn based or puzzle game but a hack and slash rpg like kingdom hearts seems difficult at least for the camera but at this point who knows.

[President Yoshi 313]

i'd like kingdom hearts to be a console exclusive. I don't really have a reason for it, i just feel that way.

[Deadpool 1,200]

I'd love a PC release if it meant mods. Sadly a lot of mods would probably be badly made fancharacters and simple retextures, though. Putting it on PC for PC perks does still justify a nice PC release though.

Lol, I'm pretty sure everybody would rather be able to afford their gaming system of choice. 

 

But yeah, mods are cool and funny.

YES like 89% percent possible now let me list the reasons why.

 1. Only 1/3 of Square Enix's games sell digitally.

2. With Kingdom Hearts III being on the Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 it will have a digital release as MS and Sony have the same policies on same day digital which means

"While digital downloads are nothing new in the world of gaming, the Xbox One is changing the way Xbox Live offers games to consumers. Every disc-based Xbox One game will have a digital purchase option from Xbox Live at launch, Microsoft confirmed yesterday." 

3. In response to this Square Enix has announced that they will be focusing on increasing their download sales, on places like STEAM, AMAZON,

and other mainly download store fronts, and considering the weird crap that has happened like the Xbox One digital copies of Far Cry 4 being unplayable when delisted from the store and the lackluster amount of digital sales on a console physical will be the driving force a console for a long period of time. http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/threads/286476-Digital-copies-of-Far-Cry-4-rendered-unplayable-on-Xbox-One

4. As we all know Square Enix is interested with putting their games on the PC hell thats why they are attending the PC Gaming E3 Show sponsored by PC Gamer, AMD, and Microsoft, but did you know that Disney also released a crap ton of games on the PC. They have added so far 21 http://kotaku.com/disney-adds-21-games-to-steam-heres-whats-worth-playin-1643050057.

5. Tetsuya Nomura has expressed interest http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/06/11/e3-2013-final-fantasy-xv-and-kingdom-hearts-iii-pc-version-hinted-by-tetsuya-nomura/

"Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III Director Tetsuya Nomura just dropped a bomb at the end of his interview on the Square Enix Presents E3 livestream.

When asked by the interviewer for a confirmation on the release of the two games on PS4 and Xbox One, he was quick to point out:

Yes, Correct, but again DirectX 11 is the tool that we’re using and whichever hardware which has a compatibility with that tool, we can keep it consideration.

That’s a pretty obvious hint to the possibility of a PC release for the two upcoming Square Enix flagship titles, especially considering that PC is the only remaining platform capable of supporting DirectX 11. It’s also interesting that Nomura-san wasn’t directly asked about other platforms by the interviewer, but touched the topic on its own initiative.

Kingdom Hearts III is being made in Unreal Engine 4 which would mean an easy port to the PC

6. There are most PC gamers than console gamers considering that the total amount of consoles sold is barely 1/3 of the ammount of PC sold and considering how cheap it is to upgrade now adays most PC gamers would at least have GTX 750 Ti or a GTX 960 and even if the majority don't have a PC thats more powerful than a PS4(even though thats most likely false now it would still be a large chunk worth investing and considering SE thought that both FFXIII and FFXIII-2 and the other FF games sold well enough they decided to port more over ie. FF TYPE-0 HD PC.

I'd rather have it on PC than PS4.

 

I'm not buying a PS4 just to play KHIII, nuh-uh.
