Sora96 17,256 Posted August 2, 2015 Back in December, Tai Yasue, the co-director of the Kingdom Hearts series revealed that both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX & HD 2.5 ReMIX could make their way to PlayStation 4. However, in an interview with Ruliweb, Tetsuya Nomura, the director of the Kingdom Hearts series has stated there are no plans to do so. Ruliweb: It's been two years since the first official announcement of Kingdom Hearts 3. Nomura: Usually, most of the reactions from the KH fans and media consist of "Please put [this world] in the game!" (Laughs) Rather than comments on the game system itself, we get requests for "Put this world in, put my world in!" much more. Whichever world is a popular map should determine whether or not the masses will greatly enjoy Kingdom Hearts 3. Recently, we also received a significant increase in requests for the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix to be released on the PS4. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans for that. The most likely reason for this appears to be that they do not want to delay Kingdom Hearts III, as both HD 1.5 ReMIX & HD 2.5 ReMIX were both developed by the Kingdom Hearts team for unknown reasons. Tai Yasue stated in the interview linked above that they did not want Kingdom Hearts III delayed. Another likely reason is that the PlayStation 4 requires all games to have digital versions while both HD 1.5 ReMIX & HD 2.5 ReMIX did not on PlayStation 3, likely due to licensing issues.

Toominator 916 Posted August 2, 2015 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.

RikuFangirl2008 1,368 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited August 2, 2015 by RikuFangirl2008 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ven983 490 Posted August 2, 2015 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. 1 Zay reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klonoa the Dream Traveler 678 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Nope But they can change that like what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, right? Edited August 2, 2015 by Klonoa the Dream Traveler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted August 2, 2015 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted August 2, 2015 But they can change that like what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, right? If they can they have thus far chosen not to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlankShell 638 Posted August 2, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatok 6,413 Posted August 2, 2015 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 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokemoncuzzie 271 Posted August 2, 2015 It will probably happen after KH3 is released, along with Kh3 Final Mix and KH:DDD Final Mix all on PS4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J. Severe 1,137 Posted August 2, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mysterious Figure 353 Posted August 2, 2015 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaweebo 3,617 Posted August 2, 2015 Well, I wasn't planning on getting rid of my PS3 after getting a PS4, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Setrex 1,031 Posted August 2, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teatimed 16 Posted August 2, 2015 Maybe they'll make a full collection AFTER KH3 releases. Hopefully with the remixes and kh3 and maybe even kh3d Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
