As you all might remember, back at E3 we got our first glimpse into what Kingdom Hearts III would look like. At the time the game wasn't running as real-time, however it was enough to just quence our Kingdom Hearts thirst. At the Future of Final Fantasy event, we also got our first look at some promotional media for Kingdom Hearts III - an image of the classic Kingdom Hearts trio; Sora, Donald and Goofy.
With each passing day, the lead up to TGS just gets bigger and bigger, with the possible reveal of Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- and new information pertaining to Kingdom Hearts III. Thanks to Obsqura, we now have a much more detailed look at the promotional art for Kingdom Hearts III.
The image from E3 was taken via a phone or a camera, so we are all excited to finally see the image in the required detail necessary. The images are available below, cut out by our wonderful staff member Sign. However, we do warn you that due to the large size of the files, you should only load one at a time.

Thanks to Obsqura for the images!

Wow, Sora looks great close up. The level of detail on Donald is just fantastic too. Goofy is looking.. less weird than initially. xD
These look great! Thank you Sign!!!!
The attention to detail is just so far beyond expectations <3
These look great! Thank you Sign!!!!
Thanks, but it's Obsqura you should be thanking since he's the one who got the artworks :D
Think of all the beautiful graphics we can make now!
I have a smartphone wallpaper in progress for SDG~ Will post tomorrow probably~
Amazing people! Obscura for having the HQ art and Sign for being a boss with photoshop!
I love the gradient effect they put on Sora's clothing, looks very nice :D I don't know if it's meant to be some lighting effect, but Sora now has slightly red hair, hmm?
also sora has a dot on his arm
not sure if that's a mole or if it's just an accidental mark but it was already on the artwork so let's pretend it is a mole or something
think that Kingdom hearts Hd remix 2.5 will be on ps3? or ps4?

Too early to decide right now. It could be one, it could be the other. It's kinda irrelevant right now. We only have one more week to wait to see if they announce KH2.5 so we'll see then :)

Yeah hopefully they announce 2.5 and it comes out around this time next year and then 3 a year later!
It looks like they finally gave Sora a bit of muscle haha. I'm glad he's beefed up a bit. He looked like a pencil next to Riku lol.
Thank you very much, I have a new wallpaper!.
WOW! Sora looks freaking amazing! ahem so do Donald and Goofy, but WOW it's almost like a photograph.
Ah, thank you! Now I finally have proof that this render was actually a render of 3D models and not a picture someone painted (a couple of friends of mine didn't believe me when I told them that was the actual character models, which only makes the models and the Kingdom Shader that much more impressive really)

It's funny, the first time I saw the artwork, even though I knew they were 3D models, my brain took ages to fully register that fact. So excited for more images to come, whenever that may be!
Damn! Look at the detail in his boots. No wonder why development of games for new consoles takes so much time.
Finally they released them! :biggrin:
Now what about the CGI poster?
These actually make my mouth watery in anticipation for the other characters to be shown in the same high quality. Imagine Aqua, Dual-wield Roxas, Riku, Mickey, Ven, Ansem SoD or Young Xehanort in dat high definition glory.
So dreamy to look at, thanks for the effort, Sign! :biggrin:
Now what about the CGI poster?
That's actually a good question.
I really dig how they expanded the original scenery from the original KH 1-cover to include Naminé, Roxas, Xion and Axel.
I wonder if KH 2.5 will bring another expansion to that scene, including TAV and maybe Mickey (he's a central character in Coded) and even Yen Sid/Eraqus.

Development for next-gen consoles actually takes less time than the previous gen due to the advanced tools they now have.
Of course, it's Square, so that means nothing whatsoever.
Oh thank god, the icon for the post made me think the promotional media was a Dream Eater.

Well at some point in the next two years there will be a Dream Eater render so don't count your blessings just yet.
These pictures look awesome I can't wait to see what riku and kairi look like
If Sora looks this glorious, just imagine Aqua and Riku!
These look great. Thanks Obsqura!
also sora has a dot on his arm
not sure if that's a mole or if it's just an accidental mark but it was already on the artwork so let's pretend it is a mole or something
It's a beauty mark!
Also, I know you can get dots on your skin from being in the sun for too long.

Did I miss something? How do we know they are actual 3d models, have SE said?

They don't need to say anything. All you have to do is look at them; they're very clearly 3D models.
I'm still have trouble seeing them as 3D models even though I know they are haha I stared at them for about a good 10 minutes and I'm starting to see it, but whenever I scroll past it quickly my mind thinks it's not. That's how amazing they look! I cannot wait to see the models of everyone else (mainly TAV) but even more important, I'm loving the hair right now. I mainly waiting on Kairi since she'll no doubt have the longest hair I believe (unless she cuts it) and then when we actually have real footage, I wait to she her locks flow in the wind!!!

I sincerely hope they do the same thing. In KH2 though the entire background is just one color for the most part so it probably won't be all that hard to fit them in somewhere. I don't think there is anymore room on that heart they're sitting on for everyone else.
It's almost shocking how great they look. 8D

Eeeeeeeeh, yes and no. It's true that we do have more advanced tools nowadays, but that doesn't mean the work to develop games takes less time to develop. For Indie developers who just want to create simple games with a simple visual style, then definitely yes. But for a major 3rd party game that is meant to have the next big standard for video game graphics? Then no, that is not true at all.
Am I the only one who really just wants to see Master Xehanort? lol
I mean, I'd love to see Riku and Kairi and whatnot, but I'm the most curious to see Master Xehanort more than any of the other characters.

It does, that was and is one of the basic ideas behind the creation of the PS4. Read this here. Games of similar production values (think Uncharted) would take need less time to be developed on the PS4 than on the PS3.

I think so lol I mean, I'm sure we'd all love to see him, but he's definitely not the be all end all of characters to see in my book :P
I thought I already got used to it, but alas, Goofy still looks weird to me. I'm guessing it's the angle, though.
Holy hot sauce! The metal actually looks METALLIC! BEAUTIFULS!!!!!

You are not. I really wanna see what MX will look like.
omg these are amazing!
I think I'm most excited to see Riku and the Organization
So excited to see more KH3!
Just thought I'd leave this here:
[spoiler="Click"]
[/spoiler]
So you just dump HIM on the congregation and run? XD
He looks kinda awkward in those clothes...But some evil laughter would fix that right up! :D
I think it is because the photoshopper made his eyes looks like he is wearing eyeliner...And the yellow should have probably been changed.

Wait...
You mean that these are RENDERS? As in, those pictures are the in-game models?
Holy ***! I thought that picture was just made for oogling. Next-gen cell shaded graphics for the win.
List of Games at Tokyo Game Show 2013 - Tokyo Game Show Wiki Guide - IGN
Is IGN fucking up here or is KH3 not gonna appear on TGS '13?
It will be there.
I take it IGN is basing this list from 100% confirmed games. Final Fantasy XV was in the TGS banner but not on the website and IGN didn't include it. Don't trust everything they say.
It will be there.

Yeah, suspected something like that. Thanks for clarifying, though!

Thank GOODNESS. I almost had a heart attack when I didn't see it! 0_0
Is IGN diddlying up here or is KH3 not gonna appear on TGS '13?
Yeah that list is only for games 100% confirmed to be there. Since KH3 wasn't 100% confirmed, it wouldn't be smart for IGN to risk it since it may not appear (but the chance of it not appearing is VERY slim).
These actually make my mouth watery in anticipation for the other characters to be shown in the same high quality. Imagine Aqua, Dual-wield Roxas, Riku, Mickey, Ven, Ansem SoD or Young Xehanort in dat high definition glory.
Did SE release a high res version of this?
This one seems high enough, but there are bigger versions out there.

Open in new tab, wait for it to load, then enlarge it.
This artwork makes me even more excited for KH3 on the PS4.
Dang... look at 'em details. Beautiful is all I can say.
