Dear SquareEnix Facebook and Twitter staf.

Please move your ass over to the Kingdom Hearts panel.
Stop looking at Gyrozetter.
It's not important and it's not even worth mentioning.

Thank you.

The Last of Us releases on May 7th 2013 and it's had its box art released.

I don't think so because it already belongs to the soundtrack and only features characters from the first Kingdom Hearts (also every re-release got its own cover).

Even if it is the boxart I'm still going to be so happy when it see it, so much nostalgia~ Though I wouldn't mind an even MORE pretty boxart.

Not necessarily the boxart, but not saying it isn't either, could go either way. When 3D was shown at TGS the banner was that of Sora and Riku in Traverse Town roof, but the boxart was ofcourse a different image.

Who knows, but it doesn't confirm anything as of now.

Hope that's not the cover ... It's cute but it's nearly identical to the original Soundtrack cover... I was hoping he'd do something special for the re-release. Maybe it's tentative; here's hoping.

Hypothetically speaking, if that's the cover for 1.5 for sure than they might continue the trend of using CD covers for future Re:MIXs. Which would be kind of weird imo. It feels like the Re:MIXs are "taking something away" from the CDs if this is the case, lol.

This is why I'm holding out for a miracle that they have new art and don't use the OST art or squish the original cover art for each game on one cover for some lame reason.

HD Collections rarely have a nice cover so I'm hoping Nomura goes against the norm and they make it look sophisticated.

It means if you were to join the end of the line, it would take about 150 minutes for you to get to the front of the line to play the demo.

That means if you were there and got in line right now to play the demo, you'd have to stand in line for approximately 150 minutes (2.5 hours) before you could even start playing the demo.

Not in KH3D, but at the end of Days I was sad for her. I've never been a fan of her character, though.

This sentence is phrased a bit oddly. Are you asking if this is all of the news we should have right now? If so, yes. Everything but the actual trailer is here. Our news team has kept the OP updated with the details/news as it appears.

I hope the trailer we'll be online soon. I think it's incredible that you'd have to wait 150min to play a demo for a HD remastering of an 10 year old game. Did they include any thing from CoM or Days in the demo or is it pure KH:FM?

Taochan

I think that is a fish face, but in comparison to the older games the fish faces in this game are very acceptable. At least form what I've seen so far.

You either got to play KHFM or Re:CoM. I can't quite remember, but I think it's random for which one you got.

So, basically, you wait 150 minutes, and then you pull up a stool at one of the ten demo stations for the game.
If the game is KHFM, it's either Destiny Islands, Neverland or Traverse Town. If you got Re:CoM, it's Riku in Hollow Bastion.

So in order to play the entire demo, given that you are lucky enough to only have to go up once per, you are waiting minimum 600 minutes (150 x 4) on top of the actual demo??? 10 hours to play a 10 year old game...well...no comment on that.

Master Spockanort

Also check out some of the adorable ornaments on the tree at Jump Festa!


Is anyone good at arts and crafts that knows how they did that? I know they are using the Kingdom Hearts Trading Arts figurines...but how did they make them ornaments? Did they tie something to them or possibly just superglue the crap out of them? I don't know if anyone can tell by looking at the photos, but I'm not very good at spotting stuff



EDIT: I don't know if I'm allowed to post an article from another site, but Kotaku posted a short, concise article about their hands on experience with the game. I'll post the article here and if it isn't allowed, just remove it from my post :)

For those who want a tl;dr:

- The game looks stunning (one of the best HD collections of all time)
- Any problems in the first game remain in this one (from what the player said)
- Re:CoM has great controls

the game has enough new content to sway even me, a fellow pcsx2 user. We're not really talking about the HD anymore. That's old conversation. just go to the gameplay changes topic.

and nobody would be fooled anyway. PCSX2 doesnt produce true widescreen.

Well yeah they aren't spectacular and wouldn't be great looking themes, but they they'd still make nice simple wallpapers of the Pc. And yes they look similar to the plain FFXII ones, that's kind of why I thought they could be the themes.
Honestly I'm kind of hoping for some Nomura art. I really love his art style, so I'd prefer that to any CGI rendered theme.
