Forums - Gaming - Kingdom Hearts 3 - Where do you think it's going?

Said it once and I say it again.

1) Even if they do decide make it a "graphical movie blockbuster", then it will go multiplatform. Its over for any console to get a game from a third party publisher to go exclusive. If a studio makes a game and needs a publisher, then you may see it go exclusive. Square Enix is not that publisher. And if you haven't noticed, Square has favored a certain console in the last 18 months.

2) Kingdom Heart is a collaboration between SE and Disney. Disney is focus on bring entertain to the masses. The masses is young and old, male and female, upper class and low class. Who do you think speaks to the masses more than any one this console generation? Hint: Probably the console that sold over 6 million units in NA in the last two months.

3) Kingdom Hearts is a hack and slash style game play with a target and swing gameplay mechanic. Its not a multiplayer game and will probably have a rating for E10 like the previous games has.

Hey I am a big HD console supporter but I also can see the writing on the wall as clear as day on this. I called the DQ10 going to Wii last year and this will be no different. Put me on the board, at TGS this year they will put fanboys out of their misery and announce the game for the Wii



I'm just saying...

I doubt that KH3 will go to PS3 exclusively. Sony isn't in a financial position to pay for an exclusive deal, and SE no longer has the relationship it once did, so they won't be so generous as to throw Sony a bone.

I'd expect to either see a XB360/PS3 version, or a Wii version. Its hard to tell. KH markets itself to a younger crowd with the Disney references, so it might allure a lot of those new Wii owners. KH3 with motion plus could prove interesting.

Well, Sqrl's post made a lot of sense, which the original post did definitely not.



I heartily disagree. Feel like adding anything to this little debate, comrade?

:)

OK, sorry.

I thought your post was a bit funny, because of the graphics/physics/cell parts. Sure, certain consumers do care about that stuff (you obviously do), but the typical KH gamer probably won't. I have to ask: If realism is THAT important to you, how could you ever bear lookin at games when you started in 1997? But we won't be getting anywhere with the graphics discussion, it's the old Wii vs. PS3 debate.

Sqrl made a good point from the business perspective, you have to admit that. So, from the "highest ROI" perspective, I'd agree with Sqrl and say KH3 will be on Wii.

Someone else made a good point, too, though: KH3 is such a high profile title, that it will make a lot of money anyway. So SquareEnix/Disney might choose a different platform, if they feel the KH brand would benefit from that decision. I have no idea what these reasons could be, though.

One thing I am pretty sure of is that it won't be a PSWii60 release. We've seen it before: Multiplatform releases including the Wii only work with games where graphics are absolutely secondary (Guitar Hero, Lego Star Wars). Look at typical "graphics games" (Fifa, Call of Duty): The Wii gets a downgraded spin off nobody buys, because they feel cheated comparing it to the HD originals. If SE make a PSWii60 KH, PS360 will have to be the lead platform - have we ever seen an upgraded Wii game? But in this scenario, the Wii version won't really sell; let's say, 2 Mio on PS360 and 2 Mio on Wii. A Wii exclusive might sell 5 Mio, while being much cheaper in development (I know I am making these numbers up, I'm just trying to make a point).

However, maybe they'll actually skip this generation, if they have no resources left for another high profile game right now.

Thanks.

 

This is a joke thread by the way. My original post is completely nonsensical garbage that I think only two members picked up on (Well three, seeing as you found it funny). Just goes to show how exceptable such BS is on internet gaming forums, that the joke flies straight over the majorities heads (those that took the time to read the OP, anyway).

 

So yeah. ;] Polygons and physics mean very little to me, I've played all the FF games (not just from FF7), I actually DO know the Different between SquareSoft and Square-Enix, and I must've said Sony aren't to get another S-E exclusive game at least half a dozen times.

 

And KH3 discussions taking over every thread annoys me to no end. One thing I will so though, to ones throwing around demographics as valids arguments... I do think for a game like Kingdom Hearts (DQ, FF, etc...), is that the fan base will follow, no matter which console you put it on. The question is: Which demographic leaves the most room for expanding on that franchise userbase.

Umm ok. Haven't been round a lot recently, so I didn't know you or any of your previous posts. But, as you know, on VGChartz, when people write stuff like that, often they actually mean it.

I picked it up because I think Kingdom Hearts is an interesting example of how games companies work and what they base their decisions on - so I'm curious to see how SE will decide this one. On the this forum (and the internet in general), everybody is throwing around their expertise... most of which is pulled out of their a***s. 



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii) 

but if they use the same engine as ff13 then you can eliminate the wii, it's either ps3 exclusive or ps360.

FFvxiii is the ps3's KH3. The version with disney characters would go to the wii.

I am beginning to think that there will NOT be a new KH game.

If there is one -- PS2/Wii.

I especially like the assumption that S-E and Disney are going to base their decision on Nomura's console bias rather than common sense.

And that the Crystal Tools engine isn't compatible with Wii.

With the time it takes to produce a QUALITY game and the lack of talk of it, I don't think if we will see a true Kingdom Heart sequel this gen.  If you don't at least hear about a developement announcement after the release of the three Kingdom Heart portable games, its possible that you won't see a game until 2012..  Who know where things will be by then.

PS2 is out of the question. SE already said they aren't making PS2 games anymore and it doesn't have a crystal tools engine.

So just Wii.
