​

After years of being available only on consoles, the PC platform will be seeing a port of a massive RPG franchise: Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts. Epic Games will have Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix, 2.5 Remix, 2.8, 3, and Melody of Memory all available on its storefront. All of them will be launching exclusively on the Epic Games Store on March 30th, with 1.5+2.5 Remix to retail for $49.99, while the rest are priced at $59.99.

WTF are those prices my god?!
I just bought the complete collection for PS4 for under 25€. The Story so far was 16€ and KH3 was 8€. Both are sealed copies.
Greedy bastards....I get it that it's on PC and all...but come on....

Yeah it's mostly overpriced...
Maybe the least one is KH3, since it comes with remind (that's 30€), but yeah... For PS4 we have Story so far at very little price, and on Xbox they have all the games with the game pass. But well, prices will drop.

I got the All In One Collection for around that much last year lol, and that includes KH3

yep i got that collection not to long ago, and at this point might as well wait for a discount or whenever it's coming to steam.

A couple thoughts:

1. Bring this to Switch YOU COWARDS

2. If Disney were smart, they'd realize what a vehicle Kingdom Hearts is. These games allow them to publicize their animated movies, and the format of individual worlds is perfect to fulfill the gap of, say, the Avengers game (which was a disaster). They could easily make episodic chapters of a Kingdom Hearts game and monetize it accordingly. Throw in multiplayer parties and you'd be printing money.

You know as much as I do that the next part will be released on PS5.

They're also gonna release it on PS4 Pro, as not to screw people over. And they'll port the first one to PS5 with backward compatibility.

I'll aquire after there are mods.

series definitely peaked at 2. i loved chain of memories (only the original gba version is fun), but... that's about it. quit 3 most of the way through as there is no plot so far, just..."we're friends!". like, do they shove all the plot at the end?

This, and it's rumored that it will have a PC release as well. And the first part will be released as well, with a few extras the PS4 version didn't have. But it's just a rumor yet.
But please god, if it's not a rumor, don't make it an ES exclusive...

Hopefully not.

more like kingdom farts

Wow, even the PC is receiving the full series but not the Nintendo Switch which is where I think the franchise would sell the most.

 

[Codemastershock]

I doubt it. KH I and II have an exclusive agreement with Sony, I believe and Sony has a stake in Epic Games.

No, it is not a Sony exclusive, all games were released on Xbox close to the launch of KHIII.
The closest Sony dealt with the franchise is that the first game was published by them only on Europe, on Americas it was published by Electronic Arts (kinda bizarre even at the time). All of the remaining games were self published

This is... epic

However due to the economic circumstances in my country and our lack of laws against piracy consumption... I'll do some workarounds.

Ah.. yes and no. You will have more questions than before, because Kingdom Hearts.

I've played these games on their original consoles back in the day, except III cause I don't own a PS4, but it's nice that these are finally coming to PC, people have been asking this for years. Hope they are succesful (not holding my breath though). I'd buy III for the ReMind DLC Limit Cut Episode. KH can be pretty challenging when it wants to.

 

[BlazeMasterBM]

Lol. Who wanted to play Kingdom hearts???

 

[Kamiyama]

I just bought all of these for PS4, only for 45e. Now I just need PS4 to play them... Or hope that Disney doesn't wanna pay any extra from Denuvo.

Hope rides alone. But Sony needs to sell those PS5.

It isn't a rumor. Anyone checking the incoming releases on Epic Store can see the KH series are on their way. And there was a video announcement for it.

I am talking about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake in my quote, not Kingdom Hearts.

What's the difference between steam and epic games? Sorry just a console player.

People have a lot of hate on egs, I can see why with the user data problem they had, but I also see that it helps developers get a larger cut too. People have a lot of reasons, tho a lot of them are just them wanting egs to be steam. Tho it's just a game store/launcher

The problem is, the devs' cut being larger is actually not true for most games, especially big ones like this. If your game is making 1M+ $ benefit, you get the same cut on both platforms.

It only is true for small games being released on EGS, but outside of the few devs being outright bought by Epic and Tencent for that one-year exclusivity, there's nearly none worth the buy. And most small devs are turning towards Steam anyway, since it offers a much bigger quantity of players and a much better support for their releases.

Actually, and since its release, there weren't any EGS game you couldn't find an equivalent or superior game of the same genre on Steam, and for a lesser price to boot. And with all the security problems that still plague EGS, this is a platform to avoid even now.
