With TGS 07 come and gone, the question still remains on many peoples minds: Where will Square Enix take Kingdom Hearts 3?
Off course there are many people arguing for every platform. The PS3 is sony like the other Kingdom Hearts, and it has a strong Japanese market. 360 has a strong North American market among gamers. The Wii is more affordable, global, and could maybe integrate keyblade Wiimote actions.
But if you think carefully it is obvious: Kingdom Hearts will not work for any of these. It wold look crappy in PS3 hi-def, nobody wants to wave a plastic remote control around to play Kingdom Hearts, and Square Enix hates microsoft.
So to me it is obvious where it will actually end up. Think about it.
Macs.
Yes. It makes sense if you consdier a few things. Square Enix would never release anything for PC, because they hate microsoft. And so Mac is left. The new Leopard OS will feature beautiful graphics, perfect for a next gen Kingdom Hearts.
Take also in to considerations: I-pod mini game connectivity. What else could offer interactive connectivity to a handheld? A Mac, that's what. We will be able to play Kingdom Hearts Cell phone on I-phone, a new game on I-pod, and Kingdom hearts 3 of course on iMac or Macboos, whatever floats your boat.
Consider this evidence too: I am too lazy to find a link, but just google it. Steve Jobs once basically said "Kingdom Hearts is one of the sickest games I've ever played. Seeing Sora and Co. on the Mac would rock tits." Still not enough? Think of all the recent shift of attention towards Macs as the premiere gaming machine. Blizzard, Bioware, Capcom, Retro, Konami....those are just a few big names who are seriously considering making more and more stuff for the mac. Even Guitar Hero, one Sony's other big formerly-exclusive series, has, after a long search that led them trhough the 360, Wii, and PC, decided on the Mac as the newest home for its latest game.
Plus, Macs just work. All the consoles have bugs. Windows is prone to viruses. But macs? Perfect! Imagine the beauty of a slick new iMac, running Kingdom Hearts 3 at max graphics settings. It wold be incredible. Plus then, they could develop Mac exclusive mods.
The code writing woud be easier too. They could probably code and script it and brew up the graphics quickly enough to have this out as a full-fledged mac game by Late next summer if they started now. It almost makes too much sense.
haters, mark my words, when this is announced for sure in a few monthes, I will be the one laughing.
