Nomura comments on Kingdom Hearts III and the PlayStation 4

This week's issue of Famitsu Weekly magazine contains the opinions of various Japanese video game developers about the PlayStation 4 and the games they're developing ahead of the PlayStation 4's release in Japan next month. Tetsuya Nomura is one of those developers and he speaks about developing Kingdom Hearts III for the PlayStation 4. You can read it below, thanks to Kotaku.

Looking at the PS4, I thought "they've gone too far." I wish they would just let us off the hook. For the player, having a game that's "thoroughly made" makes them excited with anticipation, but for a developer, it's a hurdle we have to overcome.

The number of things we have to do keeps increasing and if we keep trying to expand as far as it will go, we'll never be finished. I think we're going to end up being faced with the choice of what to keep and what to give up on [for Kingdom Hearts III].

I really felt the immense response to the Kingdom Hearts III announcement and so it's now my task to figure out how to satisfy all those people who are looking forward to it.

There have been a lot of different consoles in the past, but I feel that this one is the biggest mountain we've had to climb yet, in a good way.

Plus, in the FF franchise, you KNOW that a new game is gonna come out, even if the previous one didn't sell all that well, but with KH we have waited for ages not knowing whether we would even get a III or not. 

I'll just say that I've been reading the interviews for 10 years, and Nomura confirmed KH3 would be a thing pretty much ever since KH2 came out.

 

It was never officially announced but Nomura had always said KH3 was planned to come eventually

    Finally. Nomura knows how much Sony has been hard on him about the game. At least Microsoft doesn't do the same or he would have commented on it, maybe that's why he's going cull third party support.

    Because all that matters is that you get the good stuff. It doesn't matter what troubles. As long as you think it's conceivable to get a good game, nothing else matters, because these hurdles developers have to get over don't exist.

    Whenever they use words like "eventually", that could mean anywhere between back when KHII came out, and the year 20---forget-it, and sometimes they just say that in order to hold us off with false hopes while they "consider" if they are actually gonna do it or not. So "eventually" is not a word I put any weight to.

     

    I mean, if he has thought about KHIII ever since the release of KHII, did he know the whole time that he was gonna skip the PS3 and wait for the PS4 to come out? Which is impossible since he couldn't have known if such a piece of hardware would ever come out at the time.

    It will be hard to surpass KH2 but i have hopes up!

     

    IF we actually get KHIII, I know it'll be the best game ever made! :-)
