The Birth By Sleep I played at the DK something or other event looked pretty much like that. The image quality was the thing that impressed me the most about it.

 

[thebagofsand]

Wow those games look amazing, especially coded. I thought that was the PSP game.

 

[btkadams]

holy crap!! those are insane graphics for psp

 

[SolidSnakex]

I was going to ask the exact same thing.

What the **** is going on here SE??

Some mobile phones are capable of some pretty damn impressive graphics. Square will push whatever they're working on as hard as they can. It's not like 358/2 looks bad anyway, it looks really good actually.

 

[RobertM]

Looking at DS screens after PSP ones, yeah.....

 

[Elbrain]

Looking at DS screens after PSP ones, yeah.....

That is what i was thinking as well.

 

[Bizzyb]

I just realized those PSP screen shots look better than most third party Wii efforts.

That's just wrong....

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I just realized those PSP screen shots look better than most third party Wii efforts.

That's just oh so right....

fixed?

 

[neight]

Hehe that's right Square keep feeding us KH fanboys as much KH games as you can.

Wanna tell us about FFXIII and FF Versus XIII reaaaaaltimeeeeee stuff?

 

[Elbrain]

fixed?

:lol

 

[Tiduz]

WHEN
US RELEASE
WHEN
DO WANT
ALL OF THEM
OMNOMNOM

 

[btkadams]

when do these come out?

 

[Kodiak]

Im kind of annoyed that Jermey Parish said that BBS looks pretty much looks just like Crisis Core. I mean, you can tell its the same engine, but its much more vibrant and colorful and has that distinct Kingdom Hearts smell.

Doin two fine games a disservice by generalizing them in that way.

 

[Lain]

I really, really hope that Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep will be a better game than that shitty, shitty Crisis Core game.

 

[Caelestis]

I like what I am seeing, especially on PSP.

 

[Snaku]

Well I had enough of waiting for Square to possibly bring KHII Final Mix to America, and decided to watch the Birth by Sleep secret video. Holy crap...this game is gonna be epic.

Which begs the question, how are they gonna top that in KHIII?

 

[Dante]

WOAH SE can really make the PSP sing.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I hug my PSP

 

[Kodiak]

the obvious: better hardware/ more production monies

 

[Snaku]

But I mean, a giant keyblade war? They'd have to do some crazy Gurren Lagann-type escalation to best that.

 

[adamsapple]

birth by sleeep looks so fucking phenominal ..

that video says to me, that basically BBS IS KH3, as far as we're concerned, that's the next KH that people NEED to experience as part of the franchise. The other two, like the GBA game, just use and recycle elements and slot in with other games, BBS makes completely new ones.

This is Nomura we are talking about here.


Heh, Gainax should handle the character designs and story for KHIII. Problem solved.

 

[dragonlife]

I'm so glad I bought a PSP--I love it! And BbS and Dissidia may or may not have had something to do with it, but, yeah...er...

Anyway, fuck I thought Coded was the DS game because I missed the little gap in-between the DS and Coded pics. I was like, "Oh, it looks better now than the pics above. That's good " *realizes it's coded when he saw "DEBUG"* "Oh ..."

BUT OMG! Birth by Sleep looks PHENOMENAL!!!

 

[BlazingDarkness]

agreed
Crisis Core has great character models, but the environments/backgrounds are quite muddy and lacking, BBS looks much better here

 

[SolidSnakex]

when do these come out?

For Japan at least

2008 - Coded, 358/2, Dissidia
2009 - Birth by Sleep

 

[jiggle]

But I mean, a giant keyblade war?

Keyblade War II of course

Best. Idea. Ever.

 

[Ydahs]

PSP version looks awesome, but why are the DS shots at a too high resolution? I'll resize them to their proper size shortly.

EDIT:

Looks much better now. Before it just looked like a pixel mess, but now we can see that the models look pretty damn good.

358/2 Days isn't really a "use and recycle elements" considering it has to remake all the areas in 3D for the DS, plus add a new multiplayer mode.

Personally I'm really interested in it because Roxas needs more play time darn it.

[Off topic]

Spoiler

Personally, I think that the 6 days of Roxas, rather then being basically the tutorial section, should have been more spread out anyways. Flesh out each day into a little episode of gameplay. Plus, it would prolong the mystery of who he is.

2008 - 358/2

You can keep shrinking it down till it's only 1 pixel then there would be no jaggies at all.

Pixar worlds.

 

[Ydahs]

All I did was shrink it down to DS's native resolution. This is how the screens are meant to be viewed, not twice the size the DS outputs.

I shrunk it so people get the idea of how the game is supposed to look.

 

[Darkpen]

can't wait for birth by sleep and dissidia

Gosh, the onion knight looks so funky... almost too amano-esque :lol

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Wow at Birth by Sleep.

It's Kingdom Hearts PS2! :O

 

[Fuu]

Yay for direct feed.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Yes. I shall buy PSP. Thank you SE.

I got the idea that the DS resolutions are practically unviewable on the PC. :lol

 

[nib95]

Damn, the PSP one's have amazing visuals. From those screens near PS2 like.

 

[Pureauthor]

You might wanna have your eyes looked at if DS resolutions are 'practically unviewable' to you.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

The timeline will go something like this when they've all been released:

KH BbS (PSP) -> KH (PS2) -> KHCoM (GBA)/ KH Re:CoM (PS2) -> KH 358 (DS) -> KH2 (PS2) -> KH Coded (Mobile)

The bolded ones contain new worlds and original storylines, while the rest reuse worlds to fill in gaps and backstories for the other games.

You just killed the small interest that I had on 358/2.

Fuck that shit. I had enough of that with KHCoM...

 

[Neomoto]

I think 358/2 looks like shit. All the FF and DQ games on DS look far better, even the mobile screenshots look a lot better. I am basing this not just on these 2 screenshots, but every ingame screenshot/scan I've seen about the game.

The PSP and mobile game look ace though

 

[Farnack]

You might wanna have your eyes looked at if DS resolutions are 'practically unviewable' to you.

Or maybe I just don't put my face 1 inch from my monitor.

That's what I had to do to see those puny image sizes properly.

Nah, man...KH 358/2 looks nice and it will be one of the prettier ds game when we see it in motion...but compared to Bbs it just look bad.

 

[Fuu]

This IGN DKΣ3713 video show some small gameplay footage from both 358/2 and BBS. BBS is a given and looks awesome, but 358/2 in motion also looks nice imo. It also shows a bit of Dissidia. None of them is direct feed and 358/2 is the one you can see clearer.

Square has mastered the Psp already!?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Aqua, one of the three knights from the bonus movie at the end of KH2.

All three of these games I am so getting.

Though I'm disappointed that they aren't letting Roxas Dual wield.

If I remember correctly, Aqua is one of the playable characters.

If so DO WANT, I like the idea of playing the world of Kingdom Hearts as a girl.
