The Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD Remix and 2.8 HD collection is coming to Xbox one next year.

Meanwhile platforms it would actually sell on in PC and Switch still have no announcements for them lmao. Oh Square, you silly bastards do you ever learn there is no JRPG audience on Xbox?

3 sucked with an xbox controller so i dont know how bad it would feel with 2s faster combat

On top of that its releasing on a dead platform (seeing how the next Xbox will be out next year). I don't see people buying the XB2 (or whatever it is) for a JRPG series that released on other platforms many times over.

If it came to Switch I would rebuy it for the millionth time.

Well, KH 1.5+2.5 HD REmix could work on the Switch, and quite possibly DDD HD Remix. But A Fragmentary Passage (0.2 BBS) runs on the Unreal engine KH3 uses, so I don't think that would work on the Switch.

But yeah, I would also like a Switch version to play it on the go.

Witcher 3 runs on the Switch...

KH3 would have no problems running on it ether. Also KH3 is a up to 60fps title on PS4/XB1 and it could be downgraded to run on Switch.

Also there is already Unreal 4 titles on Switch.

i dont know exactly how much work they had to do to get witcher 3 to run but i assume it wasnt anywhere near as easy as porting ps2, psp, and 3ds games.

not saying it wouldnt ever happen and id rebuy in a heartbeat but kh3 would require a lot more money and effort to get on switch so i think its a lot less likely.

I don't even want to know how they'd tune down the graphics to get KHIII and 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage to run smoothly, considering IIRC that KHIII couldn't run on a normal PS4 at 1080p.

[Volatilis]

I dont understand why you would want to watch a movie on the switch.

They got DQXIS to run smoothly and it's the same company and the same engine.
Also, I still hope they'll release KH on PC.

KHIII runs between 45-60 fps at 1080p on a PS4, That is perfectly fine.



KHIII can run on Switch, Just depends if Square Enix gives enough fucks to do it. Like I said Witcher 3 runs on Switch and it was a much more demanding game.

KH is owned by Disney, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a PC port.

Weird, I could have sworn thata performance chart showing that KHIII runs on a lower resolution on a normal PS4 in order to get stable frames. But if I am wrong, I am wrong. And granted, it was several months ago.

Even if that was the case once again Witcher 3 is on the Switch and its a much more demanding game. Plus there is already Unreal 4 titles on it, If Square Enix/Disney wanted to do it then it would be done.

KH3 has multiple modes. One mode locks it to 30 fps and the other unlocks the frame rate so it bounces around from 35-60 depending on whats on the screen. On PS4 it defaults to 1080p, on PS4 Pro it defaults to 1440p. You can lock the PS4 Pro version to 1080p and you get a more consistent frame rate.

But we already know it could easily run on the Switch. It's Unreal 4 and runs above 30 fps on the PS4. DQXI was Unreal and ran at 30 fps on the PS4 but they somehow ported that. Literally same engine, and the visuals are pretty similar between the games mostly cartoony animation.

Honestly either Square is beyond stupid or MS money hatted the ports because it makes no financial sense to port them to Xbox over Switch. They would sell strong on Switch and won't sell for jack shit on Xbox.

Witcher 3 also got a shit ton of graphical tuning to get it to run. But yes, I suppose if they wanted to, they would.

Didn't it come out awhile back that once again MS was going to try to get into the Japan market.

So if I was a betting man I would say MS paid for these ports. KH3 sold like shit on the XB1, So there is no chance Square would just port them without some pay to do so.

Let me stop you right there and say porting W3 was likely a bigger project then porting the entire KH franchise to Switch would be, and I'm included the games that got turned into movies in that port those as well lol. Still a much smaller scale project.

The only difficult projects would be 2.8 and 3 but both run on Unreal and can easily be scaled to the Switch just like DQXI, Doom and many other unreal games are.

Why? Avengers game will come out on PC, Star Wars games are on PC, even Disney Afternoon Collection (NES games with classic characters like Chip and Dale or Darkwing Duck) is on PC. What makes KH so special?

Im just gonna guess the original engine sucks to port to pc since japanese games back then really liked tying physics to framerate. Plenty of 60 fps bugs, cant imagine 120+

Most of SE PC releases are FPS locked already, so it's barely a problem.

I didnt mean just fps, but the engine in general. It was a really bad ps3 port
