1.5 ReMIX is undoubtedly the worst HD Collection ever
Tetsujin replied to Snow's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
No, no one gets the drill because you don't make any goddamn sense. All of those collections did the same "lazy upscaling", except even "lazier". You're just grasping at straws to make this seem like it's the worst shit ever and it's getting ridiculous to the point of trolling. -
1.5 ReMIX is undoubtedly the worst HD Collection ever
Tetsujin replied to Snow's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
HD collections have always been just ports to a better console. For what it is, they have actually gone above the usual "just uprez it" approach.The "lazy developers" criticism is also an annoying one that often gets thrown around for different games. Things are often done or not done the way they are for multiple reasons, but simple laziness is rarely ever one of them.It's an HD re-release of old PS2 games. You don't get an enormous budget or manpower for that.You expect features like new game modes or even making-of footage. A making of would require someone to record interviews, someone to edit all of that, devs to stop work for the interviews etc.All that takes away time and manpower and ultimately, money.You can't waste your time on that when they *really* need to step in gear and finish the long overdue FFXV and work on a completely new KH game.Tl;dr:They weren't lazy, you had unrealistic expectations. -
My response to Tetsuya Nomura's message
Tetsujin replied to Sora96's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
When he says Final Mix, I'm pretty sure he means FM in general, including the FM versions of 2 and BBS. -
You can unlock both secret movies on Standard as well, although it will be harder.You can't unlock them on Beginner, however.Another Side, Another Story:Standard:- Seal all keyholes- Rescue all puppies- Beat Hades CupProud:- just beat the gameDeep Dive:Standard:- fulfill all requirements for original secret ending- complete Jiminy's JournalProud:- Seal all keyholes- Beat Hades Cup

1.5 ReMIX is undoubtedly the worst HD Collection ever
Tetsujin replied to Snow's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
They did not start from scratch. They reverse-engineered from a retail disc.A remake from scratch that is an exact recreation of the PS2 games would've taken a full development cycle.I know there's an interview where they said "from scratch" but that must've been a misinterpretation or mistranslation as it's obvious this is a PS2 port, not a recreation from scratch (which would be an actual remake). -

Tetsujin replied to Snow's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
To say it's the worst HD collection would not be an opinion, but be factually wrong.The FFX/X-2 and KH remasters have had the most effort put into them out of all of them. I don't see how anyone could objectively say it was lazily done. To say that it would look better on an emulator is also nonsense, as the emulator can only upscale the low resolution textures from the PS2 game whereas the remaster uses higher resolution textures and updated character models from later entries in the series to begin with.If one preferred the original songs for nostalgia reasons, then fair enough. But I for one love that they went the extra mile to re-record everything in KH1 with an actual orchestra. -
That doesn't make any sense. We're talking about difficulty modes. Zero EXP is an ability.

No More Gummi Ship Gameplay
Tetsujin replied to Firaga's topic in Kingdom Hearts III & Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind
Yes. If I recall correctly, there are no gummi ship entries in the journal. -
There is no Critical Mode in 1.5

KH1 I don't know about you guys
Tetsujin replied to Keyblade of despair's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
They lost the data, but they reverse-engineered it from retail discs (it's how Bluepoint Games approach HD remasters as well, btw).If they literally remade it from scratch, it wouldn't be the exact recreation (+enhancements) as it is now. -
No More Gummi Ship Gameplay
Tetsujin replied to Firaga's topic in Kingdom Hearts III & Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind
I completed the journal in KH2 and didn't do a single Gummi ship mission... -
If KH Was Originally a Hack'n'Slash Game
Tetsujin replied to Tails's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Hack'n'slash games are more about combos, getting good ranks etc. imo which KH isn't.I'd actually like that over the current "X does every combo"-system in KH. -
Why is the English version going to end up taking so long?
Tetsujin replied to Sora96's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Most likely it's logistical and marketing reasons that you wouldn't really understand unless you knew the current inner workings of the company or something like that. -
See the post above yours.

No multiple region trophy stacking (yet)
Tetsujin replied to Rodo's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Those are trophy lists that stack, but the lists themselves have had no changes made between localizations. -
Stringing cutscenes together in autoplay does not make a movie...

HD ReMIX 358/2 Days Comparison
Tetsujin replied to Hoshiko Hikari's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
Oh ffs, you're right. D: There was one point before that where the DS version also had a low-poly face for Roxas, I thought people meant that. -
HD ReMIX 358/2 Days Comparison
Tetsujin replied to Hoshiko Hikari's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
It's actually the same in the DS version, I just checked. -
That is actually incorrect. There is no English language in the game.

Will they edit Another Side, Another Story [deep dive]?
Tetsujin replied to 111ssuk's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
I doubt they keep the kanji. So yeah, they might edit those parts... -
How do you plan to get Speedster trophy?
Tetsujin replied to Reyn's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
I think there was a trophy for getting the Oathkeeper... -
[KH:HD1.5] Trophy Guide - How I approach the game!
Tetsujin replied to Exodaze's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
I thought that was only if you already watched them once in a playthrough? -
How do you plan to get Speedster trophy?
Tetsujin replied to Reyn's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
The description translates to "Beat World of Chaos at The End of the World in under 15 hours". You get it right before the ending, after finishing the final boss. -
How do you plan to get Speedster trophy?
Tetsujin replied to Reyn's topic in Kingdom Hearts - General
No, you definitely have to beat Ansem's final form for the trophy. -
I know the music was re-recorded. That's what that was about. Someone in the PS blog asked whether they're going to replace the OST (as in, completely new music) and the response was they're not replacing tracks, they're improving them. Which they did (and yes, technically this improvement did mean replacement but that's semantics). Nothing was said about voice recordings specifically.
