Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer released!
what a tease
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
it's so beautiful and wonderful
everything is so sleek and polished
new days scene
but there's still god damn fish face!!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Larxene, my bby, you look so beautiful.
It all looks great! Can't wait to see more.
I can make it past those fish faces.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
There we go, the trailer has been added to the OP.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL~ So many feels...
We meet again, fish face.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
That Ansem model is new, as well as Sora(which we knew about already lawl)
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Lexaeus' face makes me laugh for whatever reason
LOOK AT IT SO PRETTY
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm gonna Import this, even if it comes to the west, just so I can play it early.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Oh my gosh that was just sexy! Sora in HD is just the hottest thing ever :D
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Look carefully at the hollow bastion fighting gameplay...there's a reaction command!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Lovely fish face we have going on there.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Omg, so many feels!!! Guys, someone, hold me! And Xion, you beautiful, beautiful girl...<3
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Lovely fish face we have going on there.
At least it's HD fish face.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
2013....ughhhhh
Damn it it's going to be like 2014 before they release KH 2.5 HD Remix and that means I'm not going to have a damn complete HD Collection of these games until 2014 >:C HURRY THE FUCK UP
But it looks so good. Can't wait.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Everything in the trailer was just beautiful. If only... if only it could all be here now.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Amazing. I couldn't believe that this the ol' Kingdom Hearts. The ol' one on my PS2 look amazing even if the graphics are a dull but now? Who cares! This is wonderful :D
I wonder how will they improve the graphics for KH2? :x
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
My only concern is that it looks like the gameplay's framerate hasn't increased much. I was hoping to have perfect 60fps in combat :< (I noticed some slowdown in Hollow Bastion)
Holy shit, reaction commands!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Look carefully at the hollow bastion fighting gameplay...there's a reaction command!
Good eyes!
Zephy: It says Ars Arcanum
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Someone translate it. It's probably only for the Ability moves like Ars Arcanum, Sonic Blade, etc.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Perhaps it's just me being nit-picky about the fish faces, but if they could add in Reaction Commands they should have fixed fish faces. Even if those two are completely unrelated and this complaining of mine makes no sense.
But other than that, I can't help but fangasm to this trailer. I just wish 358/2 Days was playable

We have translated it. It's Ars Arcanum.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Thoughts on the trailer
- the cutscenes are cropped from the 4:3 frame to fit 16:9 :(
- why aren't they 4 commands?? maybe they implemented the Δ button-solution in the first game
- Sora's model looks the same to me and I'm fine with this
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Holy shit. Somebody hold me!

But there are some characters, namely Disney characters, who have never had a face other than fish face :/ So I mean they would have to make faces for a lot of characters, especially since this is KH1 which was like fish face galore lol.

Yeah they made the abilities into "reaction commands" instead. Which is actually really great. The way abilities were activated in KH1 kind of sucked. It was one of my biggest gripes with the gameplay.

Sora now has his Re: CoM model. It's pretty different from his original KH1 model.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
They removed the fourth menu option in the HUD and made it a reaction command assigned to a button rather than having to scroll the fuck down to get to it. :3

Which is wonderful, because now I can fight the Rock Titan using these commands without having to stand still and make my way down the list.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Gameplay in HD looks awesome.
A little surprising that they didn't at least upgrade fish faces a little. I'd think that would be one of the primary tasks for this remaster (although I can see how it'd be time-consuming.) Still I'm assuming they won't be as low-res as they were in the original.
Oh and 3D Xion is going to be the kill me with cuteness. *_*
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well i'm sold. SE here is my money!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Isn't anyone else wondering about the inverted colours on Ansem SoD?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Isn't anybody wondering about the green text? xD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Isn't anyone else wondering about the inverted colours on Ansem SoD?
No. They just edited that in so they can cut directly to the Guardian appearing. Its purpose is only to enhance the trailer.

I'LL CUT TO YOUR GUARDIAN APPEARING.

Nope. Nevermind :3
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Sora now has his Re: CoM model. It's pretty different from his original KH1 model.
What's different? I compared the Kairi cutscene with the original PS2 cutscene and the model is the same.
EDIT: yeah, I see the difference. very subtle, but it's there
I can't believe the will actually crop the image.. :( so much of the artwork gone..
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Isn't anybody wondering about the green text? xD
Oh yeah....that is odd? I have no idea why they changed the color...

Mostly for easier viewing on screens xD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Yay a trailer's up and everything looks much more gorgeous than it did the first time(of course the first time it was pretty gorgeous too), okay that 358/2Days scene has me decided, I'm so getting this if it comes out stateside even if it means buying a ps3 for it :0
I'm glad a trailer's finally up.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I think Ansem SOD has his re:com model in that shot.
Or his DDD model.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Thank you Sign for uploading the video, and thank you Ethy for socialing it and thank you everyone for discussion love you all long time mwah xoxoxoxoxox im wei shen/britney spears
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Rounder face, lighter coloured hair, etc.
It's a good change though.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Yes, that looks different to me....
Edit: Oh wait, you meant the screen size. I thought you meant how Sora's face doesn't look different :P Derp.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
The cropping makes me sorta sad but that is okay It will still look gorgeous on my TV
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
It will all look gorgeous.
I am really curious about Days now though, and kind of excited about it. They're adding this new scene so I wonder how much they might change or how they'll joint the cutscenes together since there will be no gameplay.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'd be okay if they took this opportunity to make Days a better story by retconning.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'd be okay if they took this opportunity to make Days a better story by retconning.
And to included answers about many things, since they don't have to tip toe around BBS.

That's what I was thinking. It's honestly part of the reason I'm excited for this.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Added captions guys! :D
Man, finding the corresponding lines in the English script was troublesome for a few xD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I am quite happy with this trailer. Quite happy indeed.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm glad they mapped the special abilities to triangle. That was on my personal wishlist.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I can't seem to feel the difference in graphics, anyone got any more side by side comparison?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Honestly, you can get this same level of detail with PCSX2 without the cropping. The only real difference will be the updated Re:CoM cutscenes (as the were originally FMVs that won't properly upscale) and the tweaked models (not to mention anything related to 358/2 Days, but that's given). Unless they're still hiding something amazing (or drop the fish faces in the final release), I'm not sold. I don't own a PS3, nor do I want to drop $250+ on a dying console that will be outdated come next fall. If we see an Xbox 360 release stateside, on the other hand...

I took a larger version of the one that was previously posted. I was having trouble finding decent quality KH playthroughs on youtube, but you can still tell the difference between Sora's facial models.

A dying console next fall?
Besides, this game will have Final Mix features and will allow Europe/Australia to finally get a chance to play Re:CoM. Many fans will love this one and buy it without resorting to an emulator.

I'm just talking about me, personally. I should have mentioned the FM content. I am truly excited for that, as KH2FM was one of the best experiences I had (I know it had the most additions, but still).
In terms of a dying console, I'm referring to all of the rumors flying around regarding the next generation PlayStation and Xbox.

Rumours are rumours.
Besides, the PS2 lived well on after the PS3 was released.

In fact, it's only just recently finally died.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
DAT 358/2 DAYS CUTSCEEN!!! T^T
I can't stop crying!!! T^T They're so pretty!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Damn I was right that it is a lot brighter on DI.
Also I think this is the most impressive part of the HD remastering:
Mind you the second one is from the PSX2 emulator so it isn't what people usually see from their composite video setup, but you can definitely see the difference.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

If no one comes first, I'm planning on making a comparison later today.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Seriously, the new Days cutscene is beautiful. I didn't think I could be any more excited this early on.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Comparison between the DAYS scene.
But you need an account on there to watch.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Great trailer. 2013, here we come.
Liked the Days scene. And like Mirbs said, the PS2 just recently died so the PS3 will still have games to release when 4 comes.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Aw, man! I really wanted to see that! ;_;

So beautiful. I'm really glad that they've decided to do this for Days.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
(or just look here :3)
Was just about to edit that in :3
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
It's incredible how improved everything looks, especially for Days. Although that's to be expected since it is a DS title.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I love you, Master Spockanort! So much detail put into this! I want to watch all of these cutscenes on my TV! <3
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Aa!!!!! So excited!
I'm likin' the 358/2 Days cutscene. Everything looks so clean and flowy. Axel sure does move a lot:3
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well I can definitely see the DS vs PS3 thing (I'll say "lol" so you know I laughed). But man oh man, Xion looks so cute ;)
EDIT: Is it humanly possible to have black hair and blue eyes? I don't think I've met anyone.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'll save my money for a PS3. ;___;
I wish they will make a collector's edition. TAT
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm shocked they are putting this much attention into Days at all ;A; It makes me happy (even if I hate Days to the ends of the planet and back, but at the same time it is small things like their convos that warm my heart and ;A; and all of the stupid, funny stuff in Days)
I love you, Master Spockanort! So much detail put into this! I want to watch all of these cutscenes on my TV! <3
<3 No problem~
YES! We all must watch on our TVs. Xion's theme will all make us cry 10x more than it usually does xD

Yes, it is very much possible. I knew somebody in elementary school who had black hair and pretty frosty blue eyes xD

I don't usually listen to Xion's theme. But after this, I don't know what to say.
So much emotions right know.

The biggest problem that Days had was the writing, imho. Otherwise I found it mildly entertaining because of some of the scenes. Oh god, just hearing her theme in this trailer had me bawling like a little girl. ;>n<;
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
While I have played KH1FM, Re:CoM and KH2FM+ on pcsx2 with HD graphics(5x native res), my monitor being able to display Full HD as well, i will still give this a go!
As a result, however, the quality didn't surprise me as much. I am far more excited for the Days cutscenes than KH1FM & Re:CoM, just as i would be if they released a HD remix with BBS included!
I do like the extra detail they put in, nonetheless (when the islands are being destroyed, for example).
I wonder if they will re-voice Sora or Ansem SoD in the english dub. Part of the magic of the original was child Sora's voice and, of course, Billy Zane as ASoD.

The writing was some of the most hilarious in Kingdom Hearts.

If they are going through all this trouble to tweak systems in Kingdom Hearts 1 they in theory should be able to put the camera on the right analog stick, right?

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I've not read the post's before this one, but OMG did you see the command menu? There were only three options, and I assume the little reaction command that popped up is how you activate the special attacks (ragnarok, for example). How exciting! :D
And Ansem's eyes in that final scene... lol, just wow. xD

Due to the new KH1FM content and the drastic change in HJO's voice over the last decade, people are wondering if they would have him redub his lines for the sake of fluidity.

Well, I mean stuff like this
Well, I don't know why people should be talking about that anyway, we don't even have an English confirmation yet xD

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

OH! Because there is the slim chance they might nix speech bubbles, and it would be weird for certain characters who have new voices or can't voice their characters the way they did ten years ago to go in and add additional lines.
Certain things will have to be redubbed in English, like Sephiroth's battle cries since George Newbern is Sephiroth and he's going to have a speaking line now.
Hopefully they do keep the speech bubbles and only the FM scenes will need to be voiced.

You will note though that in the old version Ansem is stretched out lengthwise longer then the other one (Look at the face). This comes from the fact that the old version is a 4:3 image stretched out. I have to imagine in cropping off the top (and bottom?) in the new version they must be able to keep the proportions true to what they were supposed to be. I know a fair amount about this stuff with the video editing I do, but video games might be different.

Well it would make sense to have his character grow with him, voice included, right?

Alright, it makes sense to me now. Thanks.

Not when some scenes are in a higher pitched voice and other scenes have a lower deep voice in the same game.

Not necessarily, his voice has always been the same in Japanese.

True, knowing SQEX they'll retcon a bunch of this to make it better!
As far as Sora's voice goes, can't they digitally alter HJO's voice in case he has to do additional scenes? Isn't that what they did with Aang's VA for Avatar? I remember reading that somewhere...
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Yeah, I edited my post. I neglected to remember the Final Mix has more voiced cutscenes.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

I agree. However, it would definitely be jarring to have his current voice spliced into the game with his voice at age 14. That's not even a real issue yet though, considering we have no NA confirmation.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm really excited to see more of the 358/2 Days cutscenes. They felt so brand new!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Agreed. The animation looked different from the older scenes in the trailer.
Also, Axel really can't stand still.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
As far as I can tell the "I'm Sora" sample from Traverse Town in the HD trailer is the same as the one in the PS2 version.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Axel's just extremely pumped about going to the beach.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Axel is so cute being all emotive and happy. Then there are his two timid, shy kids, Xion and Roxas.
As far as I can tell the "I'm Sora" sample from Traverse Town in the HD trailer is the same as the one in the PS2 version.
The main difference is that there is the blur effect on the background to put more emphasis on the foreground.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Depending how many cutscenes will actually be remade for the ReMIX, this could be the closest thing to a Kingdom Hearts movie fans have been wanting.
I wonder if they will give us all the scenes from the start, or if completing parts of the game will unlock more.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Axel is so cute being all emotive and happy. Then there are his two timid, shy kids, Xion and Roxas.
The main difference is that there is the blur effect on the background to put more emphasis on the foreground.
Also I believe Sora's fish face is the one from Re:CoM, which still looks a little better.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
The main difference is that there is the blur effect on the background to put more emphasis on the foreground.
The main point is that I don't think they are re-doing lines that were already recorded. Now if they are making full cutscenes of all the scenes that were only text in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix too that is another story, but I don't see that Cloud/Sephiroth scene in the trailer that was talked about in the translations.

I wouldn't be surprised if Days was unlocked by completing KH1FM and Re: CoM.

Well they have no reason the re-record lines in the Japanese version, all of the voice actors have remained consistent throughout the series I believe :P
Also I don't think that scene was said to actually be in the trailer was it? I believe it was just confirmed to be in the game.

People are saying the redub stuff in reference to English voices. The Japanese voice actors have been consistent throughout the ten years, and they are more adept at matching their old portrayals of characters when needed, so any additional voicing would be easy and nothing would need to be redubbed.
We were also stating if Days is getting text bubble scenes redone and dubbed, and the Cloud/Sephiroth scene in KH1 is getting dubbed as well, then there is a chance other text bubble scenes might have the same treatment which might possibly cause problems in the English version and for consistency it would all probably have to be redubbed, which is not what many really want.

Vexen might need a new Japanese Voice actor if they include his scenes in Days.
Nachi Nozawa passed away shortly after BBS was released.

Aw, I loved his psychotic laugh :( Well, if they do include any new scenes of him then they will probably re-record his lines.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
first news and now a trailer...
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Not that it matters too much, seeing as the gist is there, but it was niggling at me so here's a better-matched to the localisation script of the trailer than my first version (with Re:CoM rather than CoM lines, as well as more accurate scene matches):
--
Ansem: This world has been connected. Tied to the darkness.
Riku: We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!
Marluxia: In this place, to find is to lose, and to lose is to find. That is the way in Castle Oblivion.
Donald: Donald Duck.
Goofy: Name’s Goofy!
Sora: I’m Sora.
Goofy: All for one, one for all!
Axel: You have lost sight of the light within the darkness. And it seems that you've forgotten that you forgot.
Sora: Although my heart may be weak, it's not alone. It's grown with each new experience, and it's found a home with all the friends I've made.
Replica: I'll tell you what I am. I'm an exact replica of you that Vexen made from your data.
Ansem: Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!
Ansem: In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came.
Sora: A promise I made to Namine to keep her safe. Maybe my memories are fake. But the promise is real to me.
Riku: You’ve got to run! The Heartless are coming!
Sora: Forget it! There’s no way you’re taking Kairi’s heart!
Donald: No, wait!
Kairi: Sora!
Donald: Sora! Come back, Sora!
Axel: I've got it!
Roxas: Huh? Got what?
Axel: Let's go to the beach next time we get a day off.
Xion: The beach? Where did that come from?
Axel: What, don't you want to go somewhere different for a change?
Xion: ...I'll join you...if I can.
Roxas: Of course you can, Xion.
Axel: You'll have a blast, trust me.
Xion: Well...all right, sure. Let's do it.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
OMG i cant breath!! this is so awesome!!!!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
i swear the more i watch this the more donald screaming for sora is going to make me cry ;A;
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I am just going to have a bucket next to me for all the tears.
As promised, here's the comparison between the original video cutscenes and the TGS trailer. Again, I'm not at all satisfied that Square decided to crop the game. I also have a feeling they applied the cropping to the playable part of the game.
btw, I believe Riku's model is updated as well
NOT ALL PICTURES ARE EXACT FRAMES, MOST ARE PRETTY CLOSE THOUGH
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Woah, easy on the posting Lnds500.

Thanks for merging!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Everything looks beautiful. BEAUTIFUL.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Wait...
Does this mean that there is a possibility of Days having multiplayer?
Also, High definition Roxas based game.

No, because DAYS is only in cut-scene form.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
WHAT THE...???
I don't remember battling Riku in Monstro?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Don't know where Riku is in that picture, but he helps you in that fight during the original game.
and can I say, the new enemy colours are so refreshing. It feels like they are brand new.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well, i didn't remember that part from KH 1. Sorry, my bad XD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Not sure if this was brought up anywhere in the last 10 pages, but is Deep Jungle going to make a comeback in this game?
Also, english versions of KH3D wouldn't have had the message implying a HD re-release if it was only going to be released in Japan right?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

We don't know. Certainly would have helped if they showed a snippet of the world in that video.

:O

No, because DAYS is only in cut-scene form.
Wait, when was that confirmed? I thought it was from what we currently know that Days is only cutscenes... based on what we know so far anyways... *is confused*
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
*throws $50 @ screen*
Darn. Didn't work.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Too bad they had to crop the cutscenes, but on the other hand the resolution is so much better to make up for it. It's the same with the cutscenes in the PSP remakes of Final Fantasy I-IV, so I kind of expected it. It's the way Square Enix deals with these things. It's not like they cut out some incredibly important scenery. I'm mostly excited about the updated controls! The original PS2 game is almost unplayable now due to bad camera work and the button mapping. The graphics are timeless. I wouldn't mind if they updated the soundtrack to BBS/DDD quality though.
As for a re-dub of Sora's child voice, I'm all for it if they find a good actor. Maybe they could cast Haley Joel Osment's sister? Same pitch and everything.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well, it's gone into Widescreen mode now. It makes sense things had to be cropped.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I wonder if they will re-voice Sora.
Heads would roll.
That would almost ruin the whole thing for me.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well, it's gone into Widescreen mode now. It makes sense things had to be cropped.
Many HD collections switch back to the original aspect ratio for the cutscenes though, and then back again to widescreen once the gameplay returns. An option would have been nice though, but I'm guessing it would take too much space to be able to choose.
Heads would roll.
That would almost ruin the whole thing for me.
Have you heard Haley's sister? She sounds almost like her brother did when he was a kid (except that she talks a bit girlier, but that can be fixed with some good direction). Best of all, if they had her do it, they would never have a problem with using young Sora again as her voice isn't going to change. In other words, Sora wouldn't sound so awkward in Re:Chain of Memories.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
You guys are talking about Emily Osment from Hannah Montana? Because she does sound like HJO back when he was a kid, just girlier.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Is it crzy or do you guys think dlc''s could be added to this game
extra episodes
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well, with Square Enix, it's not entirely out of the blue.
Especially with Sleeping Dogs and Final Fantasy XIII-2 having a lot of DLC.
Though I would rather not have DLC for KH. There's not much they could add really.
It seems now they revamped the KH1 battle system with triangle commands now. Interesting
Also 358/2 days dialog scenes got voiced which seems to errasepeople fears that the important stuff would have been erased
Well, it's gone into Widescreen mode now. It makes sense things had to be cropped.
Not really PCSX2 had a widescreen hack with allowed both gameplay and cutscenes have true 16x9 FOV. If Square couldn't do that then that is really sad.

THIS PROGRAM THAT IS IN NO WAY ENDORSED BY ANY GAMING COMPANY CAN DO IT WHY CAN'T THEY IT LOOKS BAD.
see that sounds rather childish. it's their game, they'll make it how they want to. and since this is how they're doing it, then...
really, i hate the EMULATION CAN DO THIS argument. it's stupid and completely inapplicable, imo.
anywho, i do like the contextual menu for those contextual commands. no more having to kill enemies to open chests. or trigger trinities. or to obliterate with ars arcanum.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Can you please not double post? You agreed to the rule when you signed up :S
Sorry again for that. Also I noticed that gameplay and cutscenes are in the true 16x9 ratio. Not cropped or stretched. I looked over the trailer again
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
well, hopefully the ps3 price drops again in time for when this releases in NA, definitely looks worth it.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
The old PS3 slims will still be available for $200 before the new expensive ones come out
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
You guys are talking about Emily Osment from Hannah Montana? Because she does sound like HJO back when he was a kid, just girlier.
Yes. She just needs to talk a bit more boy-ish and they've got the perfect voice for young Sora that will not hit puberty lol.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
PS3 slims
I've seen a lot of bad reviews on those.

I would be ok if they re-dubbed only SOME[SIZE=2] voices. KH1 Sora must not get redubbed. I love that KH1 Sora voice because it shows how Sora aged throughout this series. The only voices I would want to dub in this game are Cloud, Sephy, Xehanort's Heartless, and the optional Xemnas battle where Xemnas is voiced. That is about it and I guess Aerith too :S
Shoot I forgot Mickey too. In fact KHFM, RE:COM, and 358/2 days needs to be redubbed for Mickey. WOW[/SIZE]
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I can't see ANY DLC being added in this HD collection (your daily updates maybe). Without asking for too much, what can they add that wasn't in Final Mix?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I really like what they have done with the action menu. I first thought that they added reaction commands which got me kind of worried. But it looks like they just moved the bottom option to be triangle for Ars Arcanum, Ragnarok, etc whenever you are able to activate it. And I assume that will also be how you open chests and examine things.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

It would be nice to see them add Disney Castle back in, crumbling island, and Bahamut
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well as far as I know, I think that KH is not a game for DLC at all. I mean look at KH:3D its been over a month, but not a single DLC has been announced. At least not that I've heard of.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
If they're really going to make more scenes from 358/2 Days in 3D, I don't see why they don't just remake the whole game.
Otherwise, this is looking good, aside from the one instant of fish face I noticed. I like that they're using reaction commands, which will hopefully make the gameplay of 1 more like 2's.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
It would be nice to see them add Disney Castle back in, crumbling island, and Bahamut
That depends, which one?
Disney Castle was in the Beta, but you know how people will feel
But this doesn't seem like a game DLC would be added.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
wonder if you can map cure to the triangle button? (reaction commands), that would be easier than scrolling down, when you are in a jam
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Can someone show me some pictures comparing the hd scenes to the old ones? The quality looks exactly the same to me/
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
OMG that was beautiful.:biggrin: I like how the trailer started as a small screen and then it went apart of a much better and bigger screen lol.

It was a nice metaphor on how this game will be "bigger and better" than the other games, and how it will be seen on a much grander scale, and not as a tiny screen.
I hope they keep it that way. I can't stand those boxes.

Something people seem to not realize is that this is remaster.
HD collection (or ReMix in this case) is just a way of saying it will have at least be upscaled to 720p with some anti-aliasing maybe making it look gorgeous on an HDTV and the addition of trophies.
KH1 and Re:CoM are bound to look kind of the same they did on SD with the exception of Days because that was a DS game.

Why not 1080p like OKami HD?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Wow you would have figured they'd have updated the texture on Sora's glove, it's really noticeable when it zooms in on SDG's hands.
Other than that, looking good, this art style works well in HD.
Also, in addition to the reaction commands and green text as other people have pointed out, I also noticed that the camera is zoomed out a bit in battle scenes compared to KH1. My guess is that we are actually getting an analog-controlled camera, then.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
The only characters I want to be redubbed, if they ever do that, are Ansem SOD, Sephiroth, Xemnas (his battle grunts would be awesome during the secret boss fight) aaaaaaand that's about it.
One thing.. well no, two things I don't want to be changed are: Mickey's voice and Sora's voice.
Wayne Allwine's work shouldn't be touched. Never. Ever. AT ALL. And Sora's young voice, idk, it's part of the KH 1 nostalgia. Shouldn't be touched either imo.
EDIT: Oh snap, almost forgot to state my thoughts on the trailer. It looks awesome!
I like how they updated KH 1's gameplay to make it play smoother (the abilities being used by pressing triangle and I think the camera is being pushed back a little as well to make it fit with the other games).
I really hope they edit the camera control as well. If they do that, I'll be a happy man! Also, the Days cutscene makes me want to see all the other remastered (I should even say remade) cutscenes. It looks awesome!
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I guess more money to burn... The graphics are really awesome though. Will it come to US as well?

Maybe Hi-res textures come last? The game isn't complete yet. Usually they focus on the non eye candy stuff first. They probably just rendered the game in 2k and went from there for the TGS trailer.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Why not 1080p like OKami HD?
I said at least because 720p is the minimum that's considered to be HD. To what they'll upscale it to, I don't know. If it does end up being 720p and not 1080p, I won't know their reasons.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
This looks awesome! The scenes from Days are going to kill me now that they are in HD.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Case if point of Silent Hill HD collection, it redubbed 2 and 3 (although SH2 had the original cast as a option), so they MIGHT redub with current/new faces. So sorry if this ruins the 'KH1 nostalgia'.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Saw the some of the comparison pictures and yeah it's definitely an improvement. I'm kind of tempted buy the collection, but I doubt I will. I wonder if the reaction commands are a hint that they'll return in KH3.

This is kind of a good point, but people seem to not know the context of the whole situation regarding the Silent Hill HD collection. It's been a while since the whole dilemma, so if I make a mistake, someone correct me.
As far as I'm aware the only reason that they redubbed it was because Guy Cihi wanted to be paid royalties because he thought he owned James' voice thus kind of forcing Konami's hand. Later on however, Guy and a few of the other voice actors finally signed the rights for their voices to be re-used -- Konami then opted to have that option for SH2.
For Silent Hill 3 I think it was because they couldn't get ahold of the old voice actors to consent to their voices being re-used.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I cant wait to fght kurt zisa, i never beat him before. Would bahamut be added possibly as a summon. I feel like they need to add a few things to make it worth it too the people of japan.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Saw the some of the comparison pictures and yeah it's definitely an improvement. I'm kind of tempted buy the collection, but I doubt I will. I wonder if the reaction commands are a hint that they'll return in KH3.
They aren't exactly reaction commands like in KH2 and subsequent games. It just assigned abilities to a button rather than having to scroll through the action menu to select it.
I'd wait until more info is known on the game to decide if you want it or not. My bias alone says you should go for it, but that doesn't really help you.
For Silent Hill 3 I think it was because they couldn't get ahold of the old voice actors to consent to their voices being re-used.
Do you think something like this could happen with KH1? It has been years since many of the voice actors have been associated with the series.
I cant wait to fght kurt zisa, i never beat him before. Would bahamut be added possibly as a summon. I feel like they need to add a few things to make it worth it too the people of japan.
Well the Days HD Theater part alone is probably enough motivation for Japanese fans.
Bahamut...well it had been planned. This is just a remaster, and I can't think of any remasters that added a ton of new content besides upscaled graphics, audio, and gameplay tweaks, and sometimes adding more voiced scenes.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Also, in addition to the reaction commands and green text as other people have pointed out, I also noticed that the camera is zoomed out a bit in battle scenes compared to KH1. My guess is that we are actually getting an analog-controlled camera, then.
I don't think it's zoomed in at all, I think it's just cropped like the rest of the game.. pretty lazy choice.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Do you think something like this could happen with KH1? It has been years since many of the voice actors have been associated with the series.
Hard to say, but it's possible. I think for the most part in the case of Kingdom Hearts it's mostly up to what S-E wants to do. I could see them hiring Richard Epcar to redub Ansem in KH1 for the sake of consistency.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I don't think it's zoomed in at all, I think it's just cropped like the rest of the game.. pretty lazy choice.
I said zoomed out.
Not substantially, and it might just be me, but it does seem to have a slightly better viewing field. I haven't compared, though, just going on memory.
Also, Pinocchio is actually, physically in Parasite Cage during the boss fight. I thought it was just supposed to be an amorphous black glob of darkness. idk too lazy to check
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Hopefully they bring this over to the states. And maybe add BBS to the 2.5(if they make one. I never played BBS.).
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
AHHH! So excited! I really hope it comes to the states. The only problem is my lack of a ps3 =P If they do make a 2.5 I'm guessing it'd be on ps3 also. Then KH3 for the ps4. All in all, I'm glad they're bringing KH back to a console.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
So Siliconera talked to a Square Enix rep at TGS & they said the "news" applied only to Japan, but Siliconera (& I agree) believes this is not necessarily a statement on whether it will be localized or not.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Fighting Riku in Hollow Bastion is going to be a epic boss battle in HD :D oh please bring it state side so we can all dig into the goodies. lol.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Yes! I couldn't be more excited! Day one!
It would be the biggest disappointment if this got a worldwide release and didn't include the Final Mix version (only for japan). Haha, but that would never happen. If it did, we would all realize Square hates places outside of Japan.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Glad my PS3 will finally come in handy:3 (assuming it's coming out in NA) especially since I bought it for KHIII, which I'm not sure now if it's going to be for PS3 or not.
Anyways, here's a video comparison for some of the scenes of original vs HD. It goes by pretty fast, but if you pause, you can observe the difference.
[video=youtube;dfZZjbyVbD0][/video]
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I don't think it's zoomed in at all, I think it's just cropped like the rest of the game.. pretty lazy choice.
Some one should make comparison screens: One the original, the other PCSX2 version( with widescreen hack), and the official HD version. Anyone game? Anyone with a PCSX2 that can at least get 720p resolution at 60fps?
Nevermind I see the above post. WTF why is the game cropped? You would think because normal people can get REAL 16X9 FOV in the game that Square (with all the professional tools and technology) would do the same
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

I'm tempted to say that this would be lie what George Lucas did with the star wars special editions, but I think this would be good just for consistency.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Now I'm pissed off. The game looks like a lazy half assed port compared to PCSX2 version. If PCSX2 can get Stereo 3D it's over.
And don't make up excuses to why Square can't get TRUE widescreen
[video=youtube;w8luCJMYrmg][/video]
Real 16x9 FOV running on a REAL PS2 console
The only redeeming factor is the revamped gameplay, fixed camera, and 358/2 days HD scenes. Disappointed now Square do better for 2.5

Said half assed port has new gameplay features, a movie recapping the events 358/2 days with new cutscenes, and new models for old characters.
Take Ansem for Example
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
All they have to do is port over the textures from the PS3 remastering into the PS2 game. Boom 2K resolution, 60fps, Possibly Stereoscopic 3D (in the future). If this game has a 5.1 track then yeah... I remember Okami HD being superior to the emulated version simply because they included some things the emulated versions just can't do..yet..
Or just hope someone does a true widescreen hack for 1.5 XD

The facial expressions seem to be different as well (could be just me though).
If that's the case, then they did more than just porting the textures to get the new look (since they need to edit animations as well).
They also added a 'reaction command'-like mechanic so we can use the abilities more easily. Who knows, maybe they've done even more? Not only that but they're also remaking cutscenes from Days in beautiful HD.
They can always do more but I wouldn't call it a half assed port. Not by a long shot.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
so how many scense from 358 would be re made? Coulndt they make a movie of it instead since that what it seems like it will become

We don't know. We'll have to wait and see. They'll most likely remake the scenes to show the strong friendship between Xion, Axel and Roxas + all the other major events that happen during Days.
For all we know, they could implement a mechanic similar to the flashbacks from DDD, where you unlock certain scenes when going through the story.
I for one would like that because it would connect the series so we can understand it better as a whole.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
That all looks simply gorgeous and surely a vast improvement over the original PS2 graphics. Not to mention it has Final Mix content, Re: CoM possibly finally also for EU/Australia and added new shiny stuff summing up Days. If this comes over to EU it's a definite buy.

But of course the never pleasable dumbasses have to bitch around here as well...<__<, *sigh*, it's really getting old. But whatever, better go back to ignore mode for that...
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm disappointed because it was such a simple thing to do. If the resolution is 720p then I will (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
All they have to do is port over the textures from the PS3 remastering into the PS2 game. Boom 2K resolution, 60fps, Possibly Stereoscopic 3D (in the future). If this game has a 5.1 track then yeah... I remember Okami HD being superior to the emulated version simply because they included some things the emulated versions just can't do..yet..
Or just hope someone does a true widescreen hack for 1.5 XD
Well that's Okami and this is Kingdom Hearts. Besides, some of us never played a emulator to the real thing, so comparing them seems pointless. And as Spock pointed out, this adds more than some emulator.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I know but it bugs me! You never crop things like that though. The new stuff looks get but it frustrates me that it's not all been shown. Like I said hopefully someone can make a cheat or mod to display a True 16X9 ratio or we can all clamor Square to switch, this isn't final and we have till 2013 to change stuff

Oh that sounds good, esp for peopl who will enters the series through this version.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
To further get my message across. Here is a comparison
Using RE:COM
Original 4:3 ratio
What Square did ( Not accurate but close to their cropping)
What should have been done. Proper 16x9
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Well that's Okami and this is Kingdom Hearts. Besides, some of us never played a emulator to the real thing, so comparing them seems pointless. And as Spock pointed out, this adds more than some emulator.
"Some" is good, I would rather suspect that the majority of fans never played KH on emulator on PC.
Furthermore, what is this to compare the 1.5 ReMix with some emulator? The original PS2-version is the one it has to be compared to because that's the norm. Square won't give any shit about an emulator and as we can see on Master Spockanorts comparison with Ansem SoD the new stuff looks vastly superior to the original one.
I dig that new version of Ansem, it looks very good.
The power of new graphic cards is also compared to normal performance of older cards and not overclocked stuff.
Some people need to get their expectations down and finally learn to appreciate that we even get anything at all!

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
yeah, people should be proud of the work done on the Silent Hill collection as well.. :rolleyes:
seriously people! nobody complains that we are getting Kingdom Hearts. I haven't played nor Re:CoM nor FM and I played 358/2 Days on a PC (terrible experience). I'll happily give my money to Square and I'm eternally grateful that we are getting this one but let's call a spade a spade; they could have done better on the visuals. Updated models and gameplay are commendable and we are very happy with them but they didn't have to crop the cutscenes, it's as simple as that. It's like releasing Snow White or Cinderella on Blu-ray and cropping it. Imagine that happening - the uproar. "-it's in HD -yeah, but it's f**ed".
And because I'm not here often I'd just like to emphasize that I'm buying this day one, cropped or not. I'll still have a "imagine how it could have looked" on the back of my head by hey! :)

Exactly make point especially since all it took was tweaking a few values for the PCSX2/PS2 widescreen hack. I mean they could have taken the time to do that. The thing to note is that the Days cutscenes might be regarded as true 16x9 if it isn't rendered in real time. Baffling

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Really, I have the impression this fanbase isn't that much different since a long time since just like with the Sonic fandom (or Final Fantasy as well) there are always those who cannot be satisfied with anything and just have to dig for something to gripe about just every time.
Instead of appreciating the better things you get you have to get hung up on trivialities and tiny details that do not truly matter except (in this case) for graphic junkies when KH never put emphasis this much on graphics.
The graphics already get much improved over the original, so what the heck is there still to bitch?
I probably won't have even said a thing if this was only pointed out once since it is a valid point even if largely unimportant for the overall functionality, but continuous bitching about it gets just that: annoying.

They "could" also have opted for a HD Remake instead of a remaster or they "could" also have opted for a full remake of Days. Fact is there is always something that still could be more polished, but continuing ranting about some trivialities like that the graphics aren't "top-end" and totally outstanding instead of improved (which they ARE compared to the original PS2 version) is in the end just this: nitpicking.

Duh!
I tend to be really able to ignore most of this stuff, but the information about this is out just a few days and the new stuff gets already bitched at because it doesn't come over in perfect shape.
What we know to far about the ReMix is a really neat package and includes much that big parts of the fandom were asking about for months and even years (in the case of the Final Mix content), but nope, people have to nitpick about superficialities.
Or maybe I am just in a particularly irritable/touchy mood today. <__<

Very, very nice. Still has me stoked to play the games now, but I shall hold off! Next event would be Jump Festa? I guess it's unlikely they would announce any international announcements for it there. I guess until next E3 or Squeenix event then, unless I missed one.

Jeez, just be glad that it has FINAL MIX in it. You're comparing it to something illegal, especially when you haven't completely grasp how complex the PS3 is. There is a reason why developers have a hard time making PS3 games because of how complex it is, so they just decide to use the Xbox360 and then port it to the PS3.

So.. complaining about the cropping of image info is nipticking and the cutscenes are "trivialities".. ok.
Nipticking would be asking for redubbing, new cutscenes, 1080p support etc etc. Asking for what was there in the first place is not.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
This is gonna be good. I really do love the extra days part. More please XD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Most people can't see the difference between 720p and 1080p on a TV smaller than 42″. 1080p would of course feel a lot more future proof, but hey, as long as it's not 1080i!
But honestly, I don't get why some of you guys are saying that an emulator can do better. The original game cannot be converted to HD with hacks. Nor can it be converted to true widescreen without stretching or cropping the image. You need the source code to make such changes. Sure, you can upscale the image all you want, but it will still be a standard definition image regardless of what resolution you make it.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Uh, shouldn't that problem be solveable by an hairstylist? Lol.
That's why I for the heck cannot understand where the complaint even comes from. Like Square would use some illegal hacks for comparison in their improvements.

No, you see, having Final Mix content in it and even trophy support, improved graphics and gameplay is to be taken for granted. Square should have given us that all already yesterday, garnished with a Kingdom Hearts III trailer in the FF Versus XIII engine in full wide screen with dolby surround, full 3D support and probably even Holo-technology of the USS Enterprise with comments made by Nomura and Captain Picard himself.
=> note, this is all sarcasm!
Now for serious, the new stuff is appreciated (at least by Lnds500 it seems), but it wouldn't be Square Enix or Nomura if there isn't a bone to find that you can bitch upon.

Yes, complaing about "image cropping" is nitpicking, and no, cutscenes are not "trivialities", constant complaining about them not being in latest technology and comparing them to some hacks made on PC instead of the original PS2 version are.
I look at the comparison Master Spockanort posted with the example of Ansem SoD, and the new image from the HD version looks way better quality-wise than the original PS2 version, period. That's what counts and that is what a HD collection is about, improving the original quality which it DOES.

Apparently you can. Someone posted a video earlier.
But we don't have to compare to the emulator. We have plenty of other collection which were all remastered in 16:9. Just sayin'.
Btw, I understand that some people don't care for the cropping, and I apologize if you think the rest of us are "whining" but please don't act like we are spoilt brats for requesting the obvious.

Don't be so short-sighted. You are not alone in this world. The fact that you don't care for the cropping doesn't make it trivial. And I didn't compare these to any hack.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
No, you can't. Why? Because the game is rendered at a specific resolution. To make it bigger, you must stretch it. The information needed to present the game at a higher resolution is not included on the disc.
Most graphics are created at a much higher resolution than what is needed, then compressed when rendered for the actual game disc. So often times, developers only have to transfer the data from their work files at a higher resolution. But of course, that's not always the case. But at least the developer has access to tools where the graphics can be tweaked with. Hackers are restricted to filters.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I can't wait for this remake :D My CoM disc is pretty messed up and pauses at some parts. And I just can't wait to play KH1 in HD with revamped controls. Already liking the addition of pressing reaction commands with triangle (assuming, of course). It was annoying to have to scroll down to the fourth command to do them (especially in the Winnie the Pooh world).
I was hesitant at first about only Days being cutscenes, but now I'm liking the idea.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I'm not happy with the cropping, but the game looks fantastic so I could honestly care little about it. It's not the most important thing about this remaster.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
What matters most to me right now is if we in the West get to play the collection or not. So naturally, Image Cropping is not high on list of concerns at the moment.

this is in widescreen and only some UI elements were stretched

Same here. I am not really concerned with the image cropping. In fact, I did not even think about it while watching the trailer.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Don't be so short-sighted. You are not alone in this world. The fact that you don't care for the cropping doesn't make it trivial. And I didn't compare these to any hack.
But doing that is like comparing apples and pears. Especially if those collections are from other companies. They won't have the same utilities and programmers Square has. Furthermore it also depends on what engine the game in question runs and on the source code.
It really comes over like "whining" of some sorts because it is really only one issue, and a minor one on top compared to all the other improvement this package gets. I really don't think that the playabilty of the game will get any worse because of some changes in image size and the cutscenes certainly won't look worse than on the PS2.
So enlighten me please why this should be so obvious. It's better than before in terms of quality so what is requesting even more other than being unpleasable then?
Of course, I give you that, but I really don't see what is so gravely wrong with the cropping/non-wide-screen super-duper end-graphics that makes it more than just the triviality it comes over at. The comparison pics show that it is significantly better than the original PS2-version, so what's the deal? I really don't get it.
Long things short: Is the ReMix a significant improvement over the original PS2-version yes or not considering all points involved? Does this technicality make the game suddenly unplayable or severely hampers the playability, like that Ansem suddenly has a football-head like the main character from "Hey Arnold"?
If the first answer is "yes" and the second "no" I really do not grasp where the friggin problem is.
EDIT:
Yep, I agree with Master Spockanort, Tepidshark and Neko, especially on the release perspective in US/EU and AUS.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
You can definately tell by the way XH's eyes move that he definately inherited alot from MX. His face looks more like MX's now in HD than in the original version of KH1/FM.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Looks stretched to me. Even if a talented hacker somehow managed to make the game show more information on the sides without stretching the image, which would be incredibly hard to do without messing the game up, this wouldn't apply to the cutscenes with fixed camera angles and you still could not make the actual resolution of the game any higher (you can only up the size of the standard definition solution the game is rendered in).

I wasn't expecting much considering you can only remaster so much but I was actually pleasantly surprised with the trailer. Everything looks smooth, crisp, and non pixelated.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
You know what I'm more concerned about over cropping? The game's party AI. I am really hoping they decided to tweak it so Donald heals me before I decide to use a cure spell, and Goofy doesn't use a potion on himself when I'm the one down to 1 HP.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
There should be some way to command Donald and Goofy's attacks like in Re:coded, maybe with shortcut menus. Cure should also heal everyone like in 3D. Going through an extra menu for Cure caused much frustration.

I do remember KH2 having shortcut menus, I'm pretty sure they can add that, but I'm not so sure, it might not feel the same KH we played back then, but I'm all for it.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Guys, ENOUGH on the stupid cropping and STOP comparing this to an illegal emulator.
The game is cropped, nothing anyone can do about that.
Comparing it to an illegal piece of software is not a good argument, and we at KHInsider do not endorse it.
So ENOUGH of that discussion. Period.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

KH1 had them too, but it was much more limited than in 2 (I don't think you could put items in the shortcut in KH1). I hope they update that.
And the Auto-Reload system too.

Not stretched and clearly ran on a REAL PS2 with no abnormalities at all.
OK I'm done with this. Also emulators are not illegal. If you own the console, dump the BIOS yourself, and buy the games, you're in your right to use it. And it goes really well. All someone has to do do is port the new HD textures and HUD to the original and bam
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I for one like the remastering, and don't mnd the cropping.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Stop. We are done talking about PCSX2 vs this HD remaster crap because it is a discussion going nowhere. If you want to talk about it, make a thread to complain about it or something. This is to discuss the trailer, and that is it. Compare the graphics to the original game playable on the PS2. That's fine, but if I hear PCSX2 brought up as an argument against why this HD remaster sucks, I will not hesitate to...do something!
Also do not link people to emulators or websites related unless you want to receive an infraction. Thanks~
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I don't mind the cropping on the account that it's pretty as shit.
Wondering though: Do we know whether or not the game will support 1080p? The trailer is only 720p, so was curious.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Some say that the PS3 can only go up to 720p for games? Although there are some PSN games that do 1080p. I know Okami HD will be 1080p, but the GOd of War remasters and Silent Hill were only 720p I think.
EDIT: I see Final Fantasy X HD will have Stereo 3D support

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I personally don't really care about cropping. I loved watching the trailer and it got me pumped up in anticipation to play the game. My only worry is it not coming stateside. When do we normally find out about NA releases for kh games?
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Wow, I wasn't even aware of the cropped screen. To be honest, it really doesn't bother me as long as the game looks awesome.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Case if point of Silent Hill HD collection, it redubbed 2 and 3 (although SH2 had the original cast as a option), so they MIGHT redub with current/new faces. So sorry if this ruins the 'KH1 nostalgia'.
Oh it will, and if they do that then I will reconsider my purchase. I already have the Final Mix anyways.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
i dont care if its in Jap audio and if it feels awkward hearing goofy and donald speak in Jap, I just want eng subs so I can (re)play this game *w*
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
When do we normally find out about NA releases for kh games?
A few months before it is due to launch. Hopefully we'll hear something about it sooner than later.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Somebody posted that the cutscenes are cropped. I dont see that. they were proabably extended for 16:9 frame.
that is unfortunate. But you gotta remember that most of the artwork is still viewable in game outside those scenes and doesnt really change. That's different to the crop jobs that Disney and others have done with some movies, but it does cramp the framing a bit. Still, it looks like it could work that way.
Honestly, you can get this same level of detail with PCSX2 without the cropping. The only real difference will be the updated Re:CoM cutscenes (as the were originally FMVs that won't properly upscale) and the tweaked models (not to mention anything related to 358/2 Days, but that's given). Unless they're still hiding something amazing (or drop the fish faces in the final release), I'm not sold. I don't own a PS3, nor do I want to drop $250+ on a dying console that will be outdated come next fall. If we see an Xbox 360 release stateside, on the other hand...
PS3 is far from dying. Even with next gen consoles(which is unlikely to be next year), it'll take at least another 3 years to outmode this generation
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
ajmrowland, please stop multiposting
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Eh the cropping might end up being a slight annoyance in some places, but overall it looks like SE is doing a fine job with this collection. At least it not something like the Silent Hill HD collection lol.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Damn I was right that it is a lot brighter on DI.
Also I think this is the most impressive part of the HD remastering:
Mind you the second one is from the PSX2 emulator so it isn't what people usually see from their composite video setup, but you can definitely see the difference.
It's pinker! Though one could question the lack of shadows.
Also, Kairi's face is rounder in the other comparison.

What lack of shadows? The shadows are there. Perhaps not as dark, but I think that is better anyways because I found some scenes in KH1 to be too dark to see on my TV. I was pointing out more of the flying debris xD
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
While a lot of people (probably most) don't mind one way or the other, altering a work's aspect ratio is objectively a bad thing. It destroys the intended composition of the shot by the director. Rather than cutting off the top and bottom of the picture, I would have preferred having the 4:3 image "extended" (not stretched) to 16:9 during gameplay with black bars appearing on the left and right during cutscenes. So no, I am not happy about the cropping.
However, since this is a video game and not a movie, a perfect image isn't my top priority. My main concern is gameplay, and if this gets an American release*, the actual new content provided by KHFM is more than enough to sell me on it. Plus, as has been pointed out, while we may not be getting the whole picture, the portion we are getting will be considerably clearer.
Here's some math for you: The native resolution of KH is 512x447. They are cutting off the top and bottom eighths (1/4 total) of this image. The resulting image is roughly 512x335. Now, we don't know what the resolution of this ReMix will be, since not all games for a particular system have the same rez. However, let's assume that Square is being truthful and the product is truly HD. For a 16:9 picture, that means a minimum resolution of 1280x720 for the same area as the aforementioned 512x335 image. That's 2.5 times the horizontal rez and about 2.15 times the vertical rez. This basically means the amount of detail is increased by a factor of nearly 5.4. Full 1080p has six times the resolution of NTSC 480p, so (at appropriate seating distances) the difference between the this ReMix and the original will be comparable to the difference between an average Blu-ray and an average NTSC DVD. I am greatly pleased with this.
*I will be absolutely furious if we miss out again. I know life isn't fair and stuff, but is it really too much to ask for some equal treatment, Square?

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
why the diddly are they cropping the 4:3 res for the trailer. It better not be cropped in the final game!
Looks like everyone feels the same as me.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Jeez, just be glad that it has FINAL MIX in it. You're comparing it to something illegal, especially when you haven't completely grasp how complex the PS3 is. There is a reason why developers have a hard time making PS3 games because of how complex it is, so they just decide to use the Xbox360 and then port it to the PS3.
Except it's not illegal to emulate and hack games. morality is a bit questionable, but a kid with an emulator knows a thing or two more about computer technology than most grownups who complain about system prices and resolution.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
Still not a valid argument.
in what way, may I ask. I was just simply pointing out one thing you said and didnt really read the rest of your post.
Anyway, the real problem with that Ansem cap is not that they cropped it, but that they didnt reframe it(or rather, Pan and Scan it). Regardless of what's on the bottom of the screen, losing the top of his head like that is much more significant. A few pixels lost is a few pixels lost, but at the sacrifice of the framing, it's more.

Stop. Arguing. About. Emulators. Please? There is much more to discuss in this thread than the legality and morality of emulation.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
What lack of shadows? The shadows are there. Perhaps not as dark, but I think that is better anyways because I found some scenes in KH1 to be too dark to see on my TV. I was pointing out more of the flying debris xD
Alright, I'll finally answer you this. the real dark shades on the corners of the island as it's being destroyed looked suitably darker. Some scenes are too dark to see on a tv, but it largely depends on what tv, and how you have it set up in the picture department. a bit of self calibration with a specified disc does wonders.
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
I was going to make a post complaining that people should stop over-analyzing thing so trivial like cropping, textures, and whatnot, but then I realized this is Kingdom Hearts we're talking about.
Anyway, I am wondering if the wonderful Yoko Shimomura would be making any new music. I suppose I'm taking my excitement from the new music forTWEWY. Part of me think it would be great to have some new music, but at the same time, could it hinder the experience we remember the games as now?
Remember when we were so awestruck by the pure beauty that is THIS TRAILER?
Neither do I.
You guys act like it's impossible for a trailer to differ from the actual game in any way. Stawp it.
^i've been wondering that too. i'm fine with most of the music, but synthesizers have come so far since and especially choir vocals sound too artificial so Dive to the Heart is to me the biggest improvement to be made.

This is a discussion forum. We need "annoyed" people who don't just praise everything, otherwise there wouldn't be any discussion. A negative reaction to the cropping is perfectly valid from an artistic standpoint (seriously, film editors have been strung up for doing this kind of thing), whether it actually bothers you or not.

No, no you're fine. It really wasn't the best parody of it xD
And I don't watch Avatar either, but a lot of my colleagues on here do so :P
I think I'm really going to enjoy playing this game, but I'm a bit hesitant because, if it's released in the same year as Japan, I hope it's after November otherwise I won't play it much due to my final exams.
*is one of those colleagues* 8D
our plan is working <3
I just hope when this game comes out, I'll actually be able to play it!
Well, first off, I'm hoping we even get it outside of Japan in the first place. After that, I hope I've found my lazy butt a job by then, because it just occurred to me that I should probably get a PS3. Not having one might impede my enjoyment of the product.

Calling it: Kingdom Hearts II ReMIX+ (KH2 w/ BBS).
(Although I bet half the forum already called it :v)
That being said...assuming the game makes its way here, it'll be yet another game to add to my "HD collection" collection.

Down with that. I'm hoping to have a job by the end of this year so I can support my expensive and luxurious gaming habits. xD
Yes, having a PS3 is very important for the full gaming experience of this game.
Hm, I'd like to see what the number of sales the PS3 will get the week of the game's release. *u*
Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!
But doing that is like comparing apples and pears. Especially if those collections are from other companies. They won't have the same utilities and programmers Square has. Furthermore it also depends on what engine the game in question runs and on the source code.
It really comes over like "whining" of some sorts because it is really only one issue, and a minor one on top compared to all the other improvement this package gets. I really don't think that the playabilty of the game will get any worse because of some changes in image size and the cutscenes certainly won't look worse than on the PS2.
So enlighten me please why this should be so obvious. It's better than before in terms of quality so what is requesting even more other than being unpleasable then?
Of course, I give you that, but I really don't see what is so gravely wrong with the cropping/non-wide-screen super-duper end-graphics that makes it more than just the triviality it comes over at. The comparison pics show that it is significantly better than the original PS2-version, so what's the deal? I really don't get it.
Long things short: Is the ReMix a significant improvement over the original PS2-version yes or not considering all points involved? Does this technicality make the game suddenly unplayable or severely hampers the playability, like that Ansem suddenly has a football-head like the main character from "Hey Arnold"?
If the first answer is "yes" and the second "no" I really do not grasp where the friggin problem is.
My main concern is that it's not gonna look good and if they have also cropped the gameplay image it might feel too cramped as well. I've come across 4:3 being cropped to 16:9 countless times and it never looks good. It's either too cramped or head parts are missing etc etc.
For arguments's sake, I don't think it's an engine problem. As long as the game itself displays 16:9, the engine will do the same work it would do displaying another 16:9 image.
All points involved, of course it's an improvement as a whole. But the game has a (smaller for some/bigger for others) problem. I just hope the game itself is not hindered by this choice.
I'm done arguing. We can discuss more on the collection when we actually have it on our hands.
How's about that Handsome Ansem? Those HUGE eyes that gouge out your soul. That fuller, more youthful hairline. Dat NOSE. That is one hot bridge on that nose, don't play. I mean, I would go steady with that / allow him to cast me into darkness.
*is wierd and likes big noses* :}
^interesting statement.
Nothing against you, but it brings up a point that most people are more attracted to lighter skin. At least that's how magazines put it when they whitewash black people.
I can say that ansem now meets a more european standard in beauty. he looks a bit softer lol

Good idea. Nomura needs to know that his life depends on us getting this game.
I feel like they are still in the process of updating things. Note that Riku didn't use his CoM model in the KH1 cutscenes. The fish face may be fixed later. :|a

I think the chances of this not getting released in the US at least are pretty slim. Even if Europe gets ignored again (which I doubt since it's the perfect opportunity to repair past mistakes), we can always import the game. It's not like the PS3 is region locked :)

Also, is Axel's model in the Days scene based off of Lea's from DDD? He looks different from the Re:CoM version.
I think we need to calm down about some of the flaws people are finding in the trailer. Remember this is a trailer, the final game may have the fish face and other little things fixed. Looked at how much Birth By Sleep changed from the first trailer to the final version of the game. We don't know when they started working on this, so for all we know they started like last month or something. Just wait and see what future trailers will look like when we get closer to the release date.
AWESOME! I hope it gets released in NA, and other regions as well. Do we know if this will be PSN only?
I hope it's not, so there's the possibility of a collector's edition! :D
Xion's face looks weird. Specifically in that scene that Chaser has in his sig. I think it's the eyes. o.o
Guys what are fish faces? I know it has something to do with facial animation, care to share some examples?

It's when their faces are less detailed and usually flatter than usual. Look at the scene in Traverse Town on the third district where Sora, Donald and Goofy put their hands together and closely watch Sora's face compared to the one in Destiny Islands where he's sitting next to Kairi.

POSSIBLE RELEASE DATE FOR THE US
| Speaking with Business Insider [FONT=Helvetica Neue],[/FONT] Disney Interactive Studios have mentioned a "big title" that is supposedly coming to America "mid-year 2013". We don't know what this "big title" is, apart from that it's not Epic Mickey 2-- due to this, Business Insider have predicted that the title they are referring to is Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX-, and we agree. Disney Interactive don't have any other franchises as major as Epic Mickey and Kingdom Hearts, so it makes sense that this "big title" is the upcoming HD collection of Kingdom Hearts titles.Disney Interactive also mentioned that they are looking forward to "continuing to grow in the social space", which could possibly be a hint at Kingdom Hearts for PC Browsers internationally-- but again, this is in no way a confirmation. Thanks tolizzie1238 from KH13 for the find. |
I see. Thanks!!

Ah, I see. "Pre-rendered" means the system is just playing a video file, like the opening Utada music videos from KH and KH2. In other words it, was rendered previously and is just being played back now. "In-game" means that the individual models and elements are being manipulated as you watch them, so the engine is actually doing work in the game.

While I wouldn't rule it out, a website made up the March release date. None of their sources stated anything about March, and it doesn't help that IGN is promoting this as another one of their amazing facts again.
358/2 days scenes are most definitely gonna be pre-rendered. KH1FM no. RE:COM had pre-rendered scenes though? But you can rip the cutscene models

I know you never said anythinhg. You misunderstand me. You just reminded me of something else I read online.
Also, sorry if I offended you.
Edit: To make "Fish Face" more clear, I looked at KH2 models and there's two models for each character. Most of them have a highly detailed cutscene model with a full face, and a simpler model used for some cutscene shots and is purposed for the gameplay portions of the game. Other obvious fish face moments in the game are Sora seeing tinkerbell in the lantern(that whole scene actually, along with most in the disney worlds), Alice when she asks why she's on trial, Kairi's grandmother, and Sora about to face Maleficent.
Edit again: and last I heard-though I could've misread that post-is that Days cutscenes are being programmed to render on the fly. Unlikely, since I already felt they'd be prerendered.

Woah. Incorrect facts around. Lets break this down in a little segment I like to call...
*jingle*
Chaser's Fact Fixing Fun Feature.
Well wasn't that "made-up thing" saying that someone from Disney's US staff stated that March 2013 thing?
No. All a Disney rep said was:
"We start the year right out with a big title Epic Mickey 2, and another big title that hasn’t been announced yet, but coming mid-year".
The first place where "March" was mentioned was on this website, and I checked their sources and none of them mention march either.

Not necessarily the case since Nomura has been pushing lately to try and get his game be simultaneous. Well, at least he wants Versus to be.

People will always speculate from the slightest bit of information, even information that is false or doesn't exist.
Anyways, I know the body probably didn't live up to the title, but this episode of Chaser's Fact Fixing Fun Feature was a hit in the Korean market! No matter what you say!
Having notice Sora's "robot" a long time ago somehow makes me feel smart. Or at least observant lol.
He also has large fishing spears and a tribal mask, the latter of which has a cameo in Ven's room but I think was there before he even moved in. Which we will see IN HDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
Do you mean to tell me they got rid of all of Sora's masks that he had in his room!?
I think he only had like, one. It was somewhere on his desk if I recall right.
Edit: Oh wait, he has two masks as far as I can see. We really should see more of his room in future games, it's fun to look at.
I know that in the concept art of his room there are three. I couldn't find any in game pics of his room on google and I'm not gonna start a new file to find out. I can take your word on it since it doesn't matter too much.
EDIT: two not three, my quick glance had counted that piece of whatever w/ the stars on it as a mask.
We both win

Yeah I don't think that anything looks wrong/bad/weird about Goofy and Donald there, so yeah do it do it do it
CGI disney characters have been done before. And if Square isn't up to that task then they can always bring official Disney CGI artists. I don't know how economically feasible that is though

I'll stick with Square.
yeah, even though it's an odd mixture, you can kinda get used to the CGI look for MDG. But they'll definitely have to experiment with the Disney worlds and those specific styles a bit.
Anyways, I know the body probably didn't live up to the title, but this episode of Chaser's Fact Fixing Fun Feature was a hit in the Korean market! No matter what you say!
As long as it detracted hype from the crap storm that is Gangnam Style...Chaser's Fact Fixing Fun Feature easily hit my house ;)
I don't even know how you typed that with a straight face.
How do you know they typed it with a straight face?!?!? O____o
I'll stick with Square.
I hope you aren't comparing SE's CGI cutscenes to some semi-low-budget Disney Junior animation. Or do you not remember that Disney can, when they want, make extremely nice animation as well.

^I think that was primarily for MDG. Better example would be this:

Our video has just surpassed 100, 000 views.
Thank you everyone for making this happen. We love you all and you are all amazing!
I think Mickey, Donald, and Goofy look better in the KH3D CG opening.

Yay for that! I have only watched it four or five times. But I can give it a few more. XD
I do not mind CGI Donald, Goofy, and Mickey. They really do not look weird at all. Just different.

That was nice, but that movie was a direct-to-video movie, so I don't think the funding was there. However, if Disney really, REALLY cared, they might be able to get some of the Pixar animators on it, in which case, I don't think anyone can compete <__<
I'll stick with Square.
Well I meant the ones that do the movies and that one CGI movie at Disney World
OMG, r the new 358/2 days cutscenes all the original cutscenes and conversations axel, xion, and roxas?

They KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 DAYS cutscenes include all the original ones in HD, as well as cutscenes that were previously text based(for example, the one of Axel saying they should all go to the beach was just in text form but has now been upgraded to a full 3D cutscene)

true, but it sort of worked in its own way and we're still talking about largely in-game graphics, so the highest of pre-rendered expectations are hardly required.
Anyway, I dont think the Pixar guys really do anything other than Pixar stuff. Sometimes, the "Brain Trust" is called on for advice on movies like Winnie the Pooh or Tron: Legacy, but that's writing assistance.

Oh, I certainly do. :p
Don't get me wrong, I don't doubt Disney's know-how on quality CG animation, I just question their willingness to get into it with Mickey and Co. (proven exactly by the mediocre budget they gave these DTV movies) So let me rephrase; judging by what we already have, I'll stick we Square
:)
for comparison's sake, these are DTV in the US as well (although obviously much better funded by Mickey)
[SPOILER=DTV]
[/SPOILER]
But those are actually really good quality visuals that Tinkerbell has. The best that can be without betraying Peter Pan's designs, and if you watch the movies, they largely surpass a lot of game graphics for current generation games.
Meanwhile Planes. I saw the trailer for that, and while I'm not sold, the visuals certainly have professional sheen and polish. Do they have mediocre Budgets? well, yeah, but in Tinkerbell it rarely shows any more than a theatrical movie's budget would from the same studio, outside of environment size in any one shot. Huge cities that are shown at a distance in a shot tend to be more dimensional and animated in theatrical films rather than simply Matte Paintings, and those still tend to look good in HD. Games, not so much.
oh.... my feels <3<3 I'm SO excited now~!!
My fave thing about this is how they immediately cast away that stupid "small boxes around the video" concept they've been doing.

I guess Zexion's pedo habits comes from his boss.

There is no doubt about that. Ten years with the man's child-stalking behavior has rubbed off on Zexion. We can only hope he'll stop being pedo soon.
Well true PS3 can render some serious stuff
[video=youtube;lhoYLp8CtXI][/video]
Also they can pull a FFXIII and make every scene pre-rendered
that`s pretty amazing, i cant deny it. But even the skin tones in that video show that realism is more limited than the cartoonish cgi that disney and kingdom hearts can handle. apples and oranges.
Realize this, guys. We'll be getting the best hug ever seen in the KH series. IN HD.
Never seen that before
it looks like a heimleck manuver
my thoughts exactly! it`s like a heimlich maneuver!

Yeah! Zexion was saving Riku's life!!!! Perhaps before Riku left DI, he ate Sora's dinner, and Sora's mom put poison in it! Zexion, being the witty thinker that he is, is trying to save Riku's life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Either that or his intentions are bad and he is literally trying to hug Riku to death.

My incentive to finish Re:CoM is resolved! :D
That is the most violent Heimlich maneuver I have ever seen. It's a great cover excuse though.
