Difference in quality between 3DS version and PS4 version of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance

Recommended Posts

We get it, an HD home console has better graphics then a handheld! We aren't stupid when it comes to knowing that! xD

Yeah but people are complaining it's 60 bucks, but just look at the differences.. It's freaking amazing that its definitely worth $60.

Now we shall see whether it's actually better or a bare-faced lie, like the KH1.5 Screenshots. xP

 

Although, BBSFM was certainly better, soooooo.....

 

In any case, dayum. That looks soooooooooooooooo much better! :D

Haha I'm watching Everglow's video on that right now, seeing that you speak of it. :P

As one of the people who's upset with the pricing of the game, it'll take more than visual quality to win me over. Yes, the change is impressive, but I personally don't really care how different the visuals are. It takes more than just nice graphics to make me willing to spend $60 for a game that I bought 3 years ago for $40 (And yes, I know about the movie and 0.2, but I don't care much for Chi and 0.2 looks to just be a demo. Still doesn't justify the $60 price in my books).

0.2 isn't just a demo, technically. It sounds like a demo, but I think there is more to it then just a simple demo. 0.2 connects to KH3 and has a huge story to fill in. Yeah, I wish 0.2 was 0.5 (full volume), however it's pretty amazing to be able to experience KH3 technology early, plus play in the Realm of Darkness and I think possibly some Castle of Dreams gameplay. If you're really upset about pricing, it will eventually go down. Though games on PS4 tend to be more expensive due to quality and experience on the system.

0.2 pretty much looks like it'll be a demo for KHIII in the same way that Episode Duscae (I think that's what it's called) was for Final Fantasy XV. It follows a self-contained story, yes. However, it's really just a way of letting us see the game running in its engine. Regardless, $60 is still too much in my mind. I already planned on just waiting for a price cut (Not like I'll be able to get a PS4 by the time it's released anyway), although I still find the price to be a little too much in the first place.

3D was $40 when it came out but now we are playing $20 more for a few upgrades. there better be more than that, plus if i recall 1.5 and 2.5 had "better" graphics in their comparison video but u see what happened to them. BBS .2 is a KH3 demo, its only about a 1 hour and nomura himself said that it was a "taste" of KH3.

As someone who's worrying about the game in general, I think that the gameplay changes caused by bringing the game from the 3DS to the PS4 (and how they can potentially be screwed up) is a bit more important than visuals xD (Although it looks a bit nicer, I guess, but I couldn't even tell the difference for the first few scenes. Also Riku's hands.)

(Also, I agree with you, Axel. I just kinda wanted to add on to what you said, I guess xP)

One could definitely say that it isn't a demo story-wise, but one could say that it is a demo for the engine/looks/gameplay. Also, it's pretty damn short, which doesn't really help it much. (Aqua bring Sexy Back is another story though...)

The differences in gameplay have me a little concerned, too. People say that the PS4 has the touchpad thing, but it's not the same as a second screen. :/

People act like an HD remaster is as easy as typing "HD" into the computer and it does the rest of the work.  The team working on this have to put in time and effort into making the graphics up to par, a time consuming process, especially considering that they have to rework a number of systems built for the 3DS to accommodate for the PS4.  I say that this, along with creating a movie and a short episode (Which is not entirely a demo, as they are even making a different combat system for it), is well worth the $60 price tag and I will be happy to pay that price day one.

 

If you are unhappy with the pricing, talk with your wallet and don't buy it; a company will take a complaint like that a lot more seriously than they will a random complaint on a forum.

And YouTube doesn't even do it justice since all of that is compressed video. But anyway, it looks great. So excited for this collection since I haven't played Dream Drop Distance yet so I am missing quite a significant part of it!

I just realized, why are there still hearts in the giant laboratory room in Radiant Garden castle? I thought they were all turned into Heartless in KHII.

 

Anyway, I'm really not all that concerned with the price. I'm by no means a rich man (I'm already having to fork over a couple hundo just to afford a PS4 for this) but $60 kind of seems par for the course, tbh. BUT, I may end up holding off a couple months for the price to go down, anyway. We'll see...

You paid $40 for a new game back then. This "remaster" is more of a remake because not only do the have to upgrade the graphics, they have to entirely rework gameplay to work on a PS4 controller. So you're paying $40 for a new game (by development standards) and $10 each for a movie and a demo.

The differences in gameplay have me a little concerned, too. People say that the PS4 has the touchpad thing, but it's not the same as a second screen. :/

Why do we need a second screen? It was completely unnecessary for reality shifts because motion on the top screen paused while executing them anyway and as for Dream Eater functions they could have the menu and Dream Eaters on the same screen just like all titles have the menus and party members on one screen.

First off, those are two week old posts. Not sure why they're still relevant in a thread that's been silent for the same length of time.

 

Anyway, regarding your two arguments:

 

Regardless of that, it's still an old game that I played 3 years ago, and they're charging the same price that I paid back then. I'm personally not interested in paying the same exact price just to play the same game on a new system with prettier graphics. Also, the movie and demo aren't worth $10 each for me. I barely care about the movie, and the demo's... well, a demo. I don't like the thought of paying $10 for a demo.

 

It's easier to see what you're doing with the touch commands when it's a second screen with a stylus. I don't have a PS4 so I have no clue how the touchpad works, but I can't imagine it being anywhere near as convenient as the 3DS' second screen is.

 

Regardless, I fail to see why it's a big deal that I don't want to pay full price for this game. Square misses out on one sale at launch, boohoo. I'll spend my money the way I'd like to, and that really doesn't impact anyone else. I'm not telling others to not get the game at full price, just sharing my own opinion. Of course, as I said, this was two weeks ago, so I really fail to see why this needed to be brought up again...

Maybe my eyesight is getting worse but I don't see much of a difference? I mean I see subtle differences between the two but that's it... I apparently am going blind or something I guess xD
