Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- official website

 

Update 1: Message from the KINGDOM has provided us with more information about Kingdom Hearts for PC Browsers. Oishii from KH13 is translating this information, and you can read it below.

In memory of this year being the 10th Anniversary of the "Kingdom Hearts" series, we are compiling a collection of the first works "Kingdom Hearts" and "KH Re:Chain of Memories" in HD. Furthermore, 2009’s Nintendo DS game "KH 358/2 Days", which received much credit for its enjoyable story, will be compiled as well.

 

“Kingdom Hearts” (first work) game’s later release with various additional content “KH Final Mix” (Japanese language release) will receive an entire HD rendition.
With the two HD remakes, we will add fully remade HD event scenes from Nintendo’s DS game “KH 358/2 Days”. This remake will give a new feeling to the series, and the 3 editions to the series will be a collection you should look forward to.

Furthermore, KH and KH Re:CoM will also support PlayStation 3's trophy system.

Update 2: Footage from Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 Remix- is being shown in the Square Enix Mega Theatre at Tokyo Game Show 2012. This means we might see recordings soon!

Well at first I though 2, Re:coded and Dream Drop Distance for 2.5 but now that I think about it days might make more sense in that 3D was just released... but who knows.

I'm glad to see CoM in this tbh. It was my first game so it brings back memories (no pun intended).

I think that a 2.0 will be released eventually including, KH2FM, Re: Coded, and Dream Drop Distance because all those games happen very close to 2, as do the ones for KH 1.5 remix(Chains, hours after the frist game and 358 one happens during KH, but near the end) happen close to it. But since Birth By Sleep is a prequel, don't know about that. Idk just an idea

Wait, Days isn't a HD remake? I am no longer sold.

I thought Nomura said that he wanted to give 358/2 analog control. What happened to that?

I think 2.5 be chronological. I guess BBS can be remade again with the parts they planned to use for v.2 (if they ever did plan on making it) added.

 

 

 

 

SO happy Days is getting the HD treatment!!!

 

I wonder what they'll be doing with KH2? Pairing it with BBS & call it 2.5 or something?

Kinda stinks that Days will just be cutscenes, but at least I don't have to buy a PS3.

The question is will this be released for places outside of japan? i swear to god square dont screw me with this game

Why are they remaking Chain of Memories again? They should have added BBS instead; at least that game was good and actually relates to the overall story.

Dont worry PS3 is region free so is square decide not to release it in the US or Europe which will be really stupid you can still play it

i think my reaction to my friend telling me about this expresses my feelings. the convo is a bit vulgar though, so i spoiler'd it.

wait 1.5 remake where is 1 and 2 remakes ermmm is this real life am I dreaming!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been hearing things about this collection being done by Bluepoint, the ones who made the MGS HD Collection. Is there any proof to this?

Ohey, KH13's back up again.

 

So the site's going to be open tomorrow? I guess that's where we'll get the first screenshots/trailer. The thought of KH1 in widescreen and crisp HD gets me so hyped.

YEEEEAAHH!!!

 

PS3 AAAND PC??!?!

 

Kingdom Hearts I'm sooo exciteeeed!!!!!!

I really hope they add more cutscenes to 358/2 so it plays like a feature film, not just the random scenes we have now. By themselves the current scenes leave out a HUGE chunk of the excellent story.

Pretty neat I think.

Note: This would have been posted at least an hour ago, but KH13 died.

 

SO MUCH MONEY BEING THROWN AT MY IPOD'S SCREEN! NOTHING'S HAPPENING!

 

What I want is:

All FMs come to all other countries, even if it's in Japanese with English subtitles.

 

I've had my PS3 for years now, so I won't need to worry about that.

 

MUST RESIST FROM RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES IN MY ROOM.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

*fangirl scream* OMG. I'm buying a ps3 soon just for this.

still no confirmation on usa release and its highly unlikely will get a kingdom hearts 2.5 hd collection announcement probably next year.

Hopefully in this Re: COM they'll get rid of the card system somehow and replace it with the new combat system. Third times the charm, I hope?

 

Why would they do that? The card system made KH1's combat actually good.

Seriously, no. That's just stupid. What's the point of CoM without the card system?

 

All of this is very sad news... Why would they not remake 358/2 days aswell?

 

Because it'd be much more difficult... yet it's not particularly relevant to the story as a whole?

 

I swear if they remake CoM, that piece of shit, again but make days only cutscenes well....

 

Why are they remaking Chain of Memories again? They should have added BBS instead; at least that game was good and actually relates to the overall story.

 

I'm sorry. No. Chai of Memories is THE most important game in the series. Every game after it relates back to it in some way. It's VITAL.

 

I really hope they add more cutscenes to 358/2 so it plays like a feature film, not just the random scenes we have now. By themselves the current scenes leave out a HUGE chunk of the excellent story.

 

Feature length movie? Are you crazy? Do you know how muc work that would take?

Just wanted to note that Final Mixes are english releases with japanese subtitles (except for new scenes which feature no voice acting). Now to the topic, I'm less than shocked by this development, a little dissapointed by the decision to not fully remake Days using perhaps the BBS/DDD engine rumored months ago. Fully expect this will be released in the United States since remasters like this always get released overseas (considering how this series sells) I would imagine not too long after since the original Final Mix added only a few scenes, one secret boss, and the deep dive. Now a KH 2.5 HD which I hope would feature KH2 FM, BBS FM, and maybe Coded/DDD cutscenes (I can't imagine a full fledged remake so soon after its initial release) would be a great package considering how much stuff was added to KH2 alone in its FM.
