should we expect a Kingdom Hearts collection on PS4?

PS4 Collection should include

Birth By Sleep HD Remix
Kingdom Hearts 1.8
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Kingdom Hearts 3D Remix
And
Kingdom Hearts 3 demo Episode: Twilight

I'd be surprised if they did 3D in there too, with it being a 3DS game the work to port that would be substantially more. Whereas 1.5 and 2.5 hd collection seems like a very low cost HD collection to put together.
 
I checked just one store preorders for KH3, we have 100 ps4, 2 xb1. Obviously we have no idea of release dates, but seriously, I'm sure that SE sees these numbers. The slant for type 0 was laughable.
 
Rumblings? I thought 80% UK and 99% Japan were confirmed? I know the gaf number from best buy was 75% but we should get a full split on Thursday at least.

Also looking back at ff13 I believe the split was about 66% ps3 in just us/UK when the 360 was dominating.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this only came to ps4, I'm just not sure the audience is there on xb1 for it and who knows if there are any license agreements or anything from the originals or the ps3 ports that never made it to 360.

I think they were. Yeah, I was mostly thinking about the results we should be getting Thursday. I think everything we've been hearing is sounding similar to that, but I can't wait to see the actual estimates.

Ahh gotcha, also looking forward to the splits, I think we could get quite a few games in between them on the individual sku chart on npd. those kh3 pre order numbers are far more lopsided than I expected...

Bringing FFXV to XB1 I can understand, but Kingdom Hearts? Nobody's playing that shit in Xbox.
 
When we first came up with the idea for Kingdom Hearts III, it was always 1.5, then 2.5 and we were always thinking about those three titles at the same time," he explains. "I think [putting the games on PS4] is something we’ll explore. We understand what our players want, so we will explore the possibility. I’m not making any announcements though, we can’t make any announcements yet!"

But while Sony gamers would likely appreciate the refresher, with Kingdom Hearts III heading to Xbox One as well as PS4, arguably it's Xbox owners that need the earlier installments of the game more than anyone else. When asked about whether an Xbox One edition of 1.5 and 2.5 could ever see the light of day, Yasue was hesitant. While the initial reasoning behind this was thought to be the initial exclusivity deal with Sony, it seems resources play just as much of a part.

"It’s a big old question," he says. "There’s a lot of things we need to think of when we consider consoles. One of them is what our players want, so we will definitely consider that. But there’s also schedule constraints, as we really don’t want the development of Kingdom Hearts III going later, so we have that to think about. We’ll consider all these things and come to a decision.

Sounds to me Xbox version prolly isn't happening if this old interview is to go with.

Edit: Lycan got it already :O

That isn't fair. I've already preordered kh3 for xbo and if they announce a 1.5 and 2.5 bundle I'd buy that too

Edit: I also bought ff type 0 for Xbox.

You can't know this, because the game never was on Xbox... Sure, you can make assumptions based on other JRPG's, but you are still assuming this.

I for one will buy KH3 for the Xbox One and a collection of KH games, if it ever comes out.

You're taking preorders for KH3 already, Abdiel?

They probably do. And they probably saw Type-0's pre-order figures as well before launch even though it sounds like they still overshipped on it a bit.

They better if they want me to buy KH3. If there is a collection I expect a Xbox version as well though since 3 is hitting that platform as well.

I love this idea (though something about KH 2.8 makes me laugh). Hopefully an E3 announcement shows up this year!

I know a ton of people who will play it on Xbox, myself included. I'd like to get caught up, but don't have a PS2/3.

I get that it's a mainly Sony/Nintendo series, but if they're going to put it out on Xbox and they do a remake, it'd be ridiculous not to bring the remake over too.
 
Post I made in a thread I created mainly for DDD HD:
So after the "Does KH need to be rebooted" thread I had a thought about the teased KH DDD remix. SE is in quite the HD mood as of late with their porting and remaking and whatnot. Why not DDD on PS4? That only makes sense does it not? To the same quality as Type-0 and maybe even a demo campaign for KH3 also. And with them bringing the FFX/X-2 HD Ver. to PS4 it makes sense to bring over the KH1.5/2.5 Remixes over as well. This makes too much sense to me so it probably won't happen but just a thought. It'll definitely pad out the everlasting wait for KH3.

Do you know enough people to make it financially worth it? Even if every Xbox One owner on Gaf, which is probably < 1% of total Xbox One owners bought the game it still financially might not be worth it.

I mean, you could say the same about PS4. Just because it's traditionally a Sony game doesn't mean it would instantly sell gangbusters.
 
It's always been up for the Xbox one as well as the ps4 on Amazon.

Edit: I was referring to someone else's comment about kh3's pre order availability, must've hit the wrong button.

Except we already know it will do the vast majority of it's sales on PS4 so if it will be financially viable anywhere it'll be there.

They gotta do an HD version at some point. It's basically the prologue chapter to KH3.

And thats just US right, XB1's best region. Add in EU and JP and KH3 could have 90-95% of sales on PS4. Lets say KH collection does well and sells another 1-1.5 million. Your looking at XB1 total sales of 50-150k. Can SE justify that when its clear KH3 is taking a lot of resources? We'll see but I don't expect it.
 
Yes, but it won't have DDD, or if it does it will only be the cutscenes.

I'd love nothing more than 1080p60fps Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, hopefully with faster load times than the PS3 version. Sweet Jesus, now I'm getting too excited.

This is your fault, OP.

Optimism or Reluctance? Re-read you post and let it marinate...

First very few games sell "gangbusters" unless it's a big AAA or highly anticipated.
Bloodborne kicked ass!

Why would an anticipated game that is traditionally on PS not sell well on PS? It may not sell a million but it will do well.

Example although multi-plat we clearly know who bought Type-0 a traditional PS game. When you step outside of Gaf the picture actually gets worse on the sales slant. Ex: Type-0 sold 75% on PS4 in U.S., 80% on PS4 in EU, and 99% on PS4 in Japan.

I'm all for multi-plat but really?
I do hope the game comes to Xbox One even Steam if possible.
 
The KH collection should be also coming to the Xbox One, don't be silly people. Why would they ignore the whole XB1 userbase for prequels of a game which is relasing for said console?
Is Square Enix that stupid?

If they think it's a loss making decision based on SE games' sales history on Xbox platforms, then I wouldn't call them stupid. Who knows if a port to One would even be profitable for them.
 
Sure hope so, because that's the version I'm currently holding out for.
How likely would it be for everything to be placed in one package instead of split into two, though?

The PSP and PS3 games didn't get digital releases because of the Utada Hikaru songs. I won't be suprised if when negotiating with her for KH3's song they sorted out getting digital rights to the previous songs for inevitable PS4 releases.

Weird! I had always thought it was due to something contractual with Disney. Learn something new every day.
 
No. It is certainly D23 Expo.

Here's what I expect

Gameplay footage of KH 3
Announcement of KH 1.5/2.5 for PS4 early 2016
Announced of KH DDD with KH 3 demo (?) for late 2016
Sales figure for KH series (Last one was 20 million, shared in D23 Expo 2013)

KHDDD would be included into the collection.
 
Are we sure KH collection isn't coming to XB1? With KH3 coming to XB1, skipping Xbox entirely doesn't make sense.
 
I haven't heard specifically yet. Guess we'll see.

I just really wouldn't be surprised if it passed the xb1. I get the feeling the Japanese game devs are seeing the response to their titles having a distinct presence, and that presence is not on the Xbox consoles. Especially with the global market so utterly slanting to one side.

Just from a retail perspective, Xbox customers don't ask about Japanese games. They're never asking about them; and I'm not even saying every Sony customer is asking about them, but it's still a good chunk of their base.

Those arguing about fans of the series on Xbox, it's not supported by the evidence from every sales thread we've had and the info from myself and the other retail sources.

And chobel, honestly, I'm assuming that square would probably rethink their decision to release both xv and kh3 on ghee xb1 if they knew how this generation was going to go.
 
I honestly fucking hope so, that would be awesome. Seeing as FFX-X2 is getting ported to PS4, I am sure KH collection will appear soon.

Thanks Abdiel, excellent post.
