The Deathdealer

I would like to inform them if they already have a beastly computer or are deciding whether or not if they are planning on getting a beastly computer or a console, and yes some people are or kind of people not both, I mean I have no problem if you plan on getting both, but I would just like to inform if they didn't know to begin with.

but right now the game is on the PC, a system more powerful than the PS4 so it should run and look better than the PS4 version, because it can play at a higher resolution http://steamcommunity.com/app/345350/discussions/0/487876568239330350/. So I mean instead of waiting for an inferior version why not just get the superior version right now? I mean seems logical

Even better they at least understand that their is a PC gaming audience on Steam that would love Kingdom Hearts 3.

Oh I know Square has to go through things with Disney, but considering it's Disney who is the owner/co-owner of the IP, and the developer environment is a little bit different but I wouldn't nessecarily say it's an obstacle to porting their games and bringing them to Steam, if anything I would say it would be Disney that would be pushing for this

http://kh13.com/forum/topic/93541-possibility-of-kingdom-hearts-3-coming-to-pc/?p=1763524 I made an extensive topic about this, if you want to look at it.

Why wait for a PS4 Version I mean, just hook up your PS4 controller to a PC and bam play at 4K(you may have to mod that in), and 60 FPS

I only mentioned Square Enix wanting to go more digital and embrace the PC more is because Disney already does this , in fact I would argue a little more than SE.

I covered this, they can make their own storefront, and Steam takes very little in comparison to console licensing fees, along with the fee the stores take up. Disney does put more PC games on a regular basis than Square Enix, I mean they dumped practically 20 games at once on Steam.

While obviously this is by no means fact, but I have some interesting speculation. I have reason to think Kingdom Hearts 3, and Final Fantasy XV, and Final Fantasy VII Remake(It is a timed-exclusive) Could appear on PC, now so far they have only been confirmed for the PS4, and Xbox One(FFXV and KH3). However Nomura has stated that KH3 and FFXV both use DX11 as tools and whatever is capable of using DX11 is under consideration. http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/06/11/e3-2013-final-fantasy-xv-and-kingdom-hearts-iii-pc-version-hinted-by-tetsuya-nomura/ Now why would SE want to do this they want to sell more digital games. Only 1/3 of Square Enix's HD Games sell digitally on consoles which is pretty bad for Square Enix, since digital means more money in their pocket. with Steam their is less of a middleman, while yes their is a middleman, it's not as bad as the licensing fees on consoles, along with the fee that goes to the store that stocks said game. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/11/21/one-third-square-enixs-console-game-revenue-comes-download-sales/ Additionally, having games available for download also means that Square Enix can sell their games directly to consumers without them being affected by the secondhand market, from which game publishers make no money. The most interesting point, though, is the following quote from Matsuda: As we are trying to secure profit through utilizing stock of past titles, profitability of HD games must now also be considered over a certain time frame. It is not easy to recoup development costs solely by initial sales, however download sales will allow us to increase profit in a long tail manner.

What is same day digital well it simply means that any game that doesn't have a required peripheral to be available to purchase on the XBOX LIVE or PLAYSTATION NETWORK store front on the same day as the physical release, and this applies to all games, and considering SE got the specs of the XBOX ONE AND PLAYSTATION 4 probably back in 2011, and knew of the policies in 2011, or 2012, these things aren't just sprung on developers they are told years in advance. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122335-All-PS4-Games-Will-Be-Available-as-Downloads You now have more purchase options! Download your favorite Xbox One games from Xbox Live the same day they are available at retail – all in the comfort and convenience of your home. The digital version can be downloaded directly to your Xbox and you can even start playing before the full game download is complete. Have peace of mind that you’ll never lose your disc and can access or buy it any time of the day. For more information, see Q&A section below. Questions & Answers: Can I buy digital versions of every Xbox One game? All Xbox One Games will have a digital version unless there is a required physical peripheral (e.g. Skylanders Swap Force). So since it's most likely going to get a digital release anyway, the Xbox One, and PS4 are x86 machines might as well release it on Steam where you can make alot of money, because of the smaller middleman, and since Square Enix is looking to increase download sales via Steam, and places where digital download is popular and that platform is the PC. What could happen with KH3 is that they may not even use Utada's songs or if licensing was an issue they probably smoothed that out so that KH3 can be distributed digitally as the new console same day digital policy requires( I mean seriously no one I know uses CDs anymore, it's called iTunes) An example of digital benefits is Alan Wake which made it's budget back in 48 hours of being on Steam http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-20-alan-wake-pc-makes-money-back-in-48-hours The game is being made in Unreal Engine 4 which is an engine that is very PC centric engine, and would be an easy port to make, that is why the next gen consoles are using it which are basically close box PCs. Now they were using the Luminous Engine but they changed to the Unreal Engine 4 for various reasons one of those is rendering, but what if one of those reasons was because internally they have a PC Port planned because you know there are more people on the PC that can play Kingdom Hearts 3 on their PCs than the PS4, and Xbox Ones current install base, I mean their are 130 million users on Steam alone, and games like GTA V are some of the top played games on Steam, and Lightning Returns was one of the best sellers on Steam for a time, and games like Fallout 4, COD BLOPS 3, and GTA V are in the top sellers, so there is a good potential audience to sell the game too, added that their is little to no middle man on Steam, and you can make your own store front if you choose, so you cut out the middleman entirely, and with the advent of emulation more people can get Kingdom Hearts on the PC if they already own one, and play it by buying a cheap disc, unlike the Xbox One they would have to rely on you having had a PS2 which most probably did but still. Disney also has no Qualms with releasing games on PC, in fact I believe they put out more games on PC than SE has with their FF games so far, in fact pretty much all the latest games like Disney iNFINITY are on PC right now, and with Square Enix lauching their FF games on the PC left right and center KH3 would be the next obvious step in bringing their foothold into the PC market. Now I want to quickly touch on piracy, piracy =/= lost sales, that argument that piracy equals lost sales, or lost revenue has been debunked so much, you can just look on google and you will know the facts about piracy, and no emulation is not piracy, I also would like to point out that a person who buys a used games is less likely to buy the game new to support the developer than a pirate simply because if someone buys game at a discounted rated, they won't be inclined to buy it again because they already spent their dollar, a pirate doesn't spend anything and they don't stop anyone from making a legitimate purchase like theft, and since they didn't spend anything, and would like to support the developer if they enjoyed the game, and want a sequel. Not saying used games are bad, in fact they are one of the only things a console gamer has in terms of control, and a used purchase was once a new purchase, but developers still feel the same way about them because they simply don't get money out of it, and piracy and used games will never destroy the industry as much as publishers say they will. Now you may ask why wouldn't Square Enix announce it if it was coming to PC, well it's simple their are PC Gamers that own consoles, they want to double dip, have people buy the console version, then have those same buyers buy the PC Version especially since it will probably be the superior version, for obvious reasons, instead of those that wait like a year or two like me. Now when do I think it will come to PC?, well 8-12 months after the console versions like Final Fantasy XV and the Final Fantasy VII Remake, why I think it will come out in this timeframe is because of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD which was under the same circumstances as FFXV and KH3 made for x86 machines the PS4/XBOXONE made in Luminous Engine which is harder to use than Unreal Engine 4, so it should take less time to make a port for, and FFXV is made using Luminous so it should take a similar amount of time, while I understand it was 6 months between the PC and PS4/XBOXONE release, but I would think Square Enix would want to polish the PC release up a bit, don't want a Arkham Knight on your hands(seriously WB I mean it doesn't take many people to port a game these 12 guys at Iron Galaxy who ported Batman Arkham Origins, they seriously needed more time. I didn't consider the time it took to take the FFXIII games on Steam because the Xbox 360, and PS3, are a completely different architecture from the PC, hell they are a different from each other unlike FF Type-0 HD which was built for closed PCs(PS4/XBOX1) Now when the game does come to PC and any future Final Fantasy, JRPG, title in the future my hopes is that the PC port is not as disappointing as the Type-0 HD port, or the Lightning Returns port. 1. Unlocked resolution options it should at least go up to 4K resolution 2. Unlocked Framerate so no 30 FPS CAP, no 60 FPS cap, just whatever framerate that my setup can put out in relation to the settings I have on the game itself. 3. More Graphics options Low-Medium-High-Ultra, AA settings 4. MULTI-GPU SUPPORT In the words of the Legendary Durante himself So here is my appeal to Square-Enix: For the love of all that is holy, figure out how to query the OS for a list of available resolutions, and offer them to the user. Especially if your game clearly already supports rendering at those resolutions. Find someone to design and implement your mouse/keyboard controls who has actually played a third-person game on PC with mouse and keyboard. This problem is solved, and has been for at least a decade. Don't engineer your future games in a way which makes it apparently impossible for what is clearly a technically competent porting team to change the framerate. This is the 21st century. Now this is just speculation which could very well be proven that KH3 will never come to any other platform apart from the PS4/XB1(Which would be unfortunate) , and I hope this board doesn't become a console/PC war, or a console war I mean some people are butthurt that Kingdom Hearts 3 is multiplatform for some reason which doesn't actually impact the quality of the game in any way what so ever.

Hook up the PC to a 85 inch 4K Screen, play game in 4K,use bluetooth PS4 controller PlayStation 4 controller, Xbox 360 controller(The One I will use to play KH3 on the PC), Xbox One controller, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii U Gamepad, Wiimote(If you feel like masochist), an atari controller(I don't even know what you would be thinking), or whatever weirdo controller you can conjure up from your mind and play KH3 that wasn't hard.

Of course they are going to edit out the touching scene why not just wait till the game comes out and see it, and which improvements does KH3 need if anything it looks perfectly fine from what I'm seeing.

They can only improve it to a certain extent, the PS4 is a locked box with ok specs, the game will run at 1080p 30fps at best on the PS4 same goes for KH3 however on the PC a game like this can run a 4K/60+FPS with mods enabled because the system is not locked down by system limitations, spend what you want, get what you want.

Mods look at Skyrim then you'll understand.

THIS is why I want a PC Version of these games.

That it won't come to PC, that is my biggest fear.

I just want the framerate to be good I don't want it to be running at 25fps on the consoles if they don't port it PC and I actually have to play it on the PS4 which I would prefer not to do.

This is what SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE HAND BUT SONY WAS LIKE OH NO WE WANT TO MAKE A SPIDEY MOVIE NOW WE DON'T WANT SPIDEY TO BE IN THE MCU, WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THE SAME SPIDEY MAN MOVIES CUZ REASON when in this deal they get to keep the damn rights, why couldn't they just make a deal with Marvel in 2009 and say oh hey Marvel how about we have Spider-Man in the Avengers movie, then he can be in his own solo movie, cast Tom Holland who was would be 15-16 at the time, then big batta boom MCU SPIDER-MAN SONY KEEPS the rights yada yada I mean what was Sony doing with Spider-Man that they ferociously needed him out of the MCU, the entirety, I mean people were not happy that Spidey was getting rebooted in the first place putting him in the MCU would have eased the fatigue of getting yet another spider-man origin story. I mean the entirety of Amazing Spider-Man could have been an MCU movie, seriously it could have taken place in the MCU, same with Amazing Spider-Man 2 but no Sony had to be stupid, and waste our time with imho a tired boring lifeless souless reboot for no reason but to keep the rights to the character. Well at least they are finally listening to reason this time, now if only Fox would hand over the rights to the Fantastic Four and team up with Marvel after X-MEN Apocalypse which I probably won't see because I stop giving a crap about the X-MEN Franchise after DOFP, and when Spidey joined the MCU, BATMAN V SUPERMAN IS HAPPENING, AND THE JUSTICE LEAGUE Movie, and the Inhumans on Agents Of SHIELD I just stopped caring about the Franchise as a whole, It doesn't have anything I really want, nor does it have much a really even care for, apart from maybe a crossover, and Rogue done right, and A Wolverine Origins movie in the MCU that doesn't suck

Hope FFXV actually plays like a 2017 port instead of port from 2009

Now if only SQUARE ENIX announced PC Versions of Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III, it will makes lots of money considering PC gaming makes more than consoles

Finally someone gets it, its pretty much like making a PC game where two PCs have a difference in power just change the textures and resolutions

I honestly doubt it too much money has gone into it to cancel it now would be a waste.

Now I don't have an X-Box One or a PlayStation 4 I'm a PC Gamer(With a PC that can eat both of the current gen consoles for breakfast), but I would like to ask the question why isn't this multiplatform? 1. Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming to the Xbox One and considering the datalogs within Kingdom Hearts 3D wouldn't it be a great way to break in the Xbox fans that may or may not have played Kingdom Hearts before increasing your sales numbers. 2. It wouldn't necessarily be a hard port while not an incredibly easy port I don't imagining it taking up so much money the pay off wouldn't be worth it, and on a side note why isn't the HD Version of 3D on the Wii U exactly I mean it is a 3DS game, the Wii U is a HD console, the Wii U is pretty much a giant DS and can be used as such, or are they saving it for the NX or something idk. Now on to my dissapointment with this Kingdom Hearts 2.8 bundle, while I think the bundle is going to be very good and I'm glad we are getting a taste of that Kingdom Shader, I'm dissapointed that 2.8 was just a remake of 3d, an KH X(backcover), and birth by sleep 0.2, I honestly felt that they should have included KH 1.5 and 2.5 in there and ported it to well the Xbox One, PS4, and hell even the PC to show how serious they are in tapping these markets with great potiental in them if they did it right. Also considering the fact that alot of PS4 were previous 360 owners who have may or may not have played KH back in the day, or have a PS3 and I feel like they really left a potiental market untapped.

That it gets released for the PC because DX12, 4K, 60+ FPS gaming, and see signature and you will understand why and what not I already know the game is going to great like Kingdom Hearts 2

Me I will go to the game world my self and ask him "Tell me to bleed" *drops down from the sky* "You will!"

My list for any Square Enix Ports in the future whether it be a FFXV port, or a KH3 port *Resolution past 1080p at least up to 4K *Unlocked Framerate seriously I absolutely hate it when my FPS is locked at 30FPS playable, but I still don't like it. *Texture configuration you know the basic Low-High-Ultra settings * Anti-Aliasing options you know FXAA, MSAA , MSAA x(whatever) * Good SLI Scaling a three way SLI/CrossFire shouldn't be getting less FPS than a two way CrossFire/SLI of the same card. *DirectX12/Vulkan Support What is your guys lists
