"It would still make more sense to put it on the PS3, considering the main storyline ran on the PS2. But, what can ya do? =\"
also, the kh games weren't the easiest either, and don't seem like something that the non-gamer wii market would be able to get into very well, unless they dumb things down and add waggle.
another great series bites the dust in favor of waggle so sad. played fatal frame last night and kept giving my dusty wii dirty looks.
Yeah, I can understand the logic, but at the same time I think there are themes, plot elements, and the way combat and the overall gameplay system works that puts this just outside of the WESTERN 9-14 audience's grasp(err, rather let's say 9-12) or understanding.
I guess it's just a difference of opinion. I think Disney probably told SE what demographic they were aiming at, and SE took it upon themselves to put it toward possibly the JAPANESE crowd of that age range.
The spin-offs may be a lot easier to understand and swallow etc. for younger audiences, but as for 1 and 2 I think those are more of a Teen+ thing than for kids.
Yeah, Fatal Frame will be missed. I'm just the type where I want my games to progress in all areas, not JUST gameplay or JUST graphics. That's why so many Wii games just fall flat to me personally because they have a few things right, but graphics and other elements lack- and due to power restraints always will. Same with a lot of 1st-batch 'nextgen' games that basically just changed their resolution output and called it a day.h well, at least I got 3 good FF games out of it, and two good KH games.
@pointman_4000: What he meant was that the PS2 fanbase is already hooked on the game series and following, and are most likely to transfer to the PS3, so why divert them to a different platform just for one series. Many people instantly lose interest as soon as an IP jumps ships with their traditional platform.
Either way, I think the initially huge negative reaction to this, what we should still consider a rumor, speaks for itself.
1) I understand Disney has no loyalty to Sony, but do you not think that perhaps increased sales of the PS3, plus the fact that Disney release their titles on bluray could not sway them to release KH3 on the PS3? Also, does Square have no say in the matter?
Just some nice quotes from the blog. I think it´s stunning that some Sony fanboys can´t understand that games will move platform because of Wii´s great sales. They REALLY see Wii as an inferior system. Staggering. I know on these forum things can get ugly, but at least most people understand that Wii is more than just minigames.
Most people will understand that Wii is the perfect console for KH. High sales, young demographic. I really don´t understand why so much Sony fans can´t handle this.
Winning post above imo is the guy that says the previous KH were great games but the Wii version will obviously be very bad.
