Saw the some of the comparison pictures and yeah it's definitely an improvement. I'm kind of tempted buy the collection, but I doubt I will. I wonder if the reaction commands are a hint that they'll return in KH3.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Case if point of Silent Hill HD collection, it redubbed 2 and 3 (although SH2 had the original cast as a option), so they MIGHT redub with current/new faces. So sorry if this ruins the 'KH1 nostalgia'.

This is kind of a good point, but people seem to not know the context of the whole situation regarding the Silent Hill HD collection. It's been a while since the whole dilemma, so if I make a mistake, someone correct me.

As far as I'm aware the only reason that they redubbed it was because Guy Cihi wanted to be paid royalties because he thought he owned James' voice thus kind of forcing Konami's hand. Later on however, Guy and a few of the other voice actors finally signed the rights for their voices to be re-used -- Konami then opted to have that option for SH2.

For Silent Hill 3 I think it was because they couldn't get ahold of the old voice actors to consent to their voices being re-used.

I cant wait to fght kurt zisa, i never beat him before. Would bahamut be added possibly as a summon. I feel like they need to add a few things to make it worth it too the people of japan.

They aren't exactly reaction commands like in KH2 and subsequent games. It just assigned abilities to a button rather than having to scroll through the action menu to select it.

I'd wait until more info is known on the game to decide if you want it or not. My bias alone says you should go for it, but that doesn't really help you.

Do you think something like this could happen with KH1? It has been years since many of the voice actors have been associated with the series.

Well the Days HD Theater part alone is probably enough motivation for Japanese fans.

Bahamut...well it had been planned. This is just a remaster, and I can't think of any remasters that added a ton of new content besides upscaled graphics, audio, and gameplay tweaks, and sometimes adding more voiced scenes.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Also, in addition to the reaction commands and green text as other people have pointed out, I also noticed that the camera is zoomed out a bit in battle scenes compared to KH1. My guess is that we are actually getting an analog-controlled camera, then.

I don't think it's zoomed in at all, I think it's just cropped like the rest of the game.. pretty lazy choice.

Hard to say, but it's possible. I think for the most part in the case of Kingdom Hearts it's mostly up to what S-E wants to do. I could see them hiring Richard Epcar to redub Ansem in KH1 for the sake of consistency.

I said zoomed out.
Not substantially, and it might just be me, but it does seem to have a slightly better viewing field. I haven't compared, though, just going on memory.

Also, Pinocchio is actually, physically in Parasite Cage during the boss fight. I thought it was just supposed to be an amorphous black glob of darkness. idk too lazy to check

Hopefully they bring this over to the states. And maybe add BBS to the 2.5(if they make one. I never played BBS.).

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

AHHH! So excited! I really hope it comes to the states. The only problem is my lack of a ps3 =P If they do make a 2.5 I'm guessing it'd be on ps3 also. Then KH3 for the ps4. All in all, I'm glad they're bringing KH back to a console.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

So Siliconera talked to a Square Enix rep at TGS & they said the "news" applied only to Japan, but Siliconera (& I agree) believes this is not necessarily a statement on whether it will be localized or not.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Fighting Riku in Hollow Bastion is going to be a epic boss battle in HD oh please bring it state side so we can all dig into the goodies. lol.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Yes! I couldn't be more excited! Day one!

It would be the biggest disappointment if this got a worldwide release and didn't include the Final Mix version (only for japan). Haha, but that would never happen. If it did, we would all realize Square hates places outside of Japan.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Glad my PS3 will finally come in handy:3 (assuming it's coming out in NA) especially since I bought it for KHIII, which I'm not sure now if it's going to be for PS3 or not.

Anyways, here's a video comparison for some of the scenes of original vs HD. It goes by pretty fast, but if you pause, you can observe the difference.

Some one should make comparison screens: One the original, the other PCSX2 version( with widescreen hack), and the official HD version. Anyone game? Anyone with a PCSX2 that can at least get 720p resolution at 60fps?

Nevermind I see the above post. WTF why is the game cropped? You would think because normal people can get REAL 16X9 FOV in the game that Square (with all the professional tools and technology) would do the same

I'm tempted to say that this would be lie what George Lucas did with the star wars special editions, but I think this would be good just for consistency.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

Now I'm pissed off. The game looks like a lazy half assed port compared to PCSX2 version. If PCSX2 can get Stereo 3D it's over.

And don't make up excuses to why Square can't get TRUE widescreen

[video=youtube;w8luCJMYrmg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8luCJMYrmg[/video]

Real 16x9 FOV running on a REAL PS2 console

The only redeeming factor is the revamped gameplay, fixed camera, and 358/2 days HD scenes. Disappointed now Square do better for 2.5

Said half assed port has new gameplay features, a movie recapping the events 358/2 days with new cutscenes, and new models for old characters.

Take Ansem for Example

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

All they have to do is port over the textures from the PS3 remastering into the PS2 game. Boom 2K resolution, 60fps, Possibly Stereoscopic 3D (in the future). If this game has a 5.1 track then yeah... I remember Okami HD being superior to the emulated version simply because they included some things the emulated versions just can't do..yet..

Or just hope someone does a true widescreen hack for 1.5 XD

The facial expressions seem to be different as well (could be just me though).

If that's the case, then they did more than just porting the textures to get the new look (since they need to edit animations as well).

They also added a 'reaction command'-like mechanic so we can use the abilities more easily. Who knows, maybe they've done even more? Not only that but they're also remaking cutscenes from Days in beautiful HD.

They can always do more but I wouldn't call it a half assed port. Not by a long shot.

Re: KH 1.5 ReMix Trailer Released!

so how many scense from 358 would be re made? Coulndt they make a movie of it instead since that what it seems like it will become
