What if Square-Enix screws us over? (KHIII Discussion)

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

Now as we've all probably guessed, KH3 Info and such will most likely be displayed at D23, with a small possibility of an E3 appearance as well along with Unchained Key. We're all praying to whatever gods we know of for the latter to happen as well as D23.

 

However, a thought just occurred to me after watching the video by TheGamersJoint (Don't mind the Thumbnail. ) below....what if Square screws us over?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk2sg8p40_E

As we all know, during the 2.5 Launch Event, the attendees were shown a KH3 Trailer behind closed doors which showed many things off that to this day we have not seen or even know about aside from some descriptions given by people who saw it and a drawing.

 

Also, in D23 2013, the KH3 Trailer we've all seen wasn't shown immediately after D23. It was shown at least a few days or weeks afterwards and gained public attention a while after that. 

 

So, what's to stop Square from holding their cards close to their chest this time? Hell, at D23, they could do it again and perhaps just...not show it to any of us.

 

The game itself, last we heard. was in a Pre-Alpha Stage. There's not much to go on from there, especially since we've been given absolutely ZERO information that would suggest otherwise, such as a release date/window, actual gameplay footage, screenshots, Artwork etc. This kind of thing would push it into Alpha at most. But nope, closed door viewing.

 

I'm not saying however that it absolutely will happen, I'm just saying that it is a viable possibility.

 

Do you agree or disagree? Discuss below. Thank you for reading.

It will mean that Square's track record for flipping off its fans will remain intact.

 

But remember to please be excited!

[Kaweebo 3,617]

I trust in Tai Yasui. I trust in Yoko Shimomura. I trust in Tetsuya Nomura.

[Yuya Sakaki 5,212]

Watched this already. Agreed with it 100%. Then again, he's not called Cynical for nothing.

 

Peace!

Go in with no expectations and you will never be disappointed If anything you can be pleasantly surprised

Still, I abandoned expectations long ago. They did me no good.

That's impossible. Especially when it comes to KH. And especially when it comes to KH3.

Sure it's possible I do it everyday

Thing is, if I get hyped, and something does show up, the feeling is way better.

 

PS: GZ on the 7k posts!

Wouldn't surprise me!  I think 85% of my amazement will come from the fact that it's even mentioned at all. Lmao

[Headphone Jack 1,147]

The KH3 hype train is losing steam for me so if they only give us one teaser image or something I won't be upset over it. 

[Deadpool 1,200]

After two solid years of no public gameplay trailers, they do have to give something, even if it's not much. Even if they do show something behind closed doors at D23 we're sure to eventually it a week or so later, unlike the 2.5 launch event.

[Smithee 326]

You speak as if they haven't already screwed us over (*Cough!*DreamDropDistance.*Cough!*).

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

All trailers for that were shown, it came out, it received good reviews and was a good game. (Last one is opinion.)

 

The game wasn't a screw over by the definition I was presenting here or any other. Your argument is invalid.

[KingdomHearts3 2,591]

I disagree because I know me better than you know me. No I'm kidding, but really, that trailer from D23 2013 was actually a beta trailer. It was the same with the E3 2013 trailer. Not only that, but seeing how SQEX FR has been teasing a lot about KH3 lately, I think SQEX will steal the show at E3 and show off KH3. They do mean what they say and they don't say anything if they do not want to give anything away.

The Beta phase of video game development is when the game is nearing completion, with all assets and features, with only bugs being fixed. In the end it will be a mostly bug and glitch free experience. Some companies go with a Public Beta for players to break the game to expose the bugs and glitches for them to patch.

 

This usually occurs within three to four months before a Video Games release.

 

KH3 is in it's "First playable" stage, also known as Pre-Alpha. Since they switched engines before then, not to mention I believe it has been mentioned before that was potentially CGI Footage, both times in E3 and D23, I say you are wrong here.

 

They have little to nothing to really show off that would cement KH3 as Alpha or Beta stages. They can only show the build, the bare components like animations, artwork and rehearsal voice acting, if even any of that.

 

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they showed nothing, or kept it to a private viewing with how far the game is from being finished.

[jadentheman 72]

I'm not expecting anything at E3 except a mention, then the apology for it not be present soon after.

 

But please be excited for the mobile f2p Unchained Key game coming as your only KH game in the year 2015. Enjoy fans....not. We can only hope they drop some HD collection news for PS4/One

Really? Was it an alpha trailer? I thought it was beta. Huh, I guess not. The thing though is this title has been in development since 2010. This is now five years. Could it not be possible that the things that they were showing over the past couple of years was stuff they already did and it is just a mask so as to keep the hype tamed at a reasonable level? Besides, since you mention voice acting, in January 2014, Haley Joel Osment said they will probably start voice acting over the summer. July comes around and he is asked about it again. He says he can not say a thing ON PAPER which means he signed the contract and voice acting was already underway. Then come Mr. Farmer in December. He says they are done and it will be out this year, but then had to retract and say it's release is unannounced. That probably is a cover up to avoid bleeding. They probably are farther than we think in progress and just are showing old stuff to take hype. Think about how many times you have seen talk on the internet about how legendary it will be. If you show such a sought-after title as it is, hype and expectations go through the roof and become unreasonable. That is why SQEX will probably not mess with us and show KH3 at E3 2015.

my hype lvl for kh3 is SUPER low becuase we have like 0 news ever thx square enix

[ForeverKH 32]

Nomuralogic.

[riku1995 121]

You all bring up really good points on this subject but honestly in my opinion I really don't care what kind news they will show whether if its Unchained Key, Dream Drop Distance,a complete HD collection for the PS4/Xbox One or even KH3. I am satisfied with any kind of news they will have at E3 if they have any which more than likely I believe they some kind of news and if they don't then no worries we still have D23 to look forward to.
