Kingdom Hearts 3 is a Technical Disappointment on the Xbox One & PlayStation 4 Consoles

Resolution is poor, performance is a mess, and the best performance option demands a system kludge that's only possible on one console.

1080p 60fps on pro, is not disappointed by any standards, moreover, KH3 did great job in graphics which is amazing by in-engine cutscenes and transitions from cutscenes to the gameplay is awesome.

**Spoilers**

Technically, KH3 did magnificent job by simulating Frozen song using the in-engine.

I found the ‘graphics for the character models within the character menu look quite bad. For my PS4 Pro they don’t look like they are polished.

AnthonyDavis1917d ago

That’s not true the frame rate gets better at the end of the generation. At the end of the PS3 generation the console was so weak. It only played TLoU and GTAV properly.

CaptainOmega1917d ago

Are you responding to the right person, Anthony?

Tech51917d ago

I thought the Pirates of the Caribbean part looked great. the only thing off was the facial animations for the humans.

rdgneoz31917d ago

Pirates part looked amazing and I love the ship combat. Have to max out my ship, got it to 8 before finishing the place.

the Pros 1080p 60 mode is the kind of thing people were saying the pro wasn't going to do. That specifically is a technical surprise. From a 900p game hovering in about the 30s to a near locked 60 at 1080p on pro is no disappointment imo. Unless you run over 1080p then it's back to the disappointment. Though it's real issue if the frame pacing issue that's not likely to go away with a locked 30. As they never fixed it on FFXV either

TKCMuzzer1917d ago

All I can say, is if Forbes thinks this is a technical disappointment I can't wait for their opinion on Anthem. That's a mess on consoles, considering its only few weeks away from release.

fishaz7801916d ago

I got an Xbox One for Christmas and there are some games I can’t play at all as the grain effect used to disguise the 900p makes me want to puke. Sea of Thieves for example sends my eyes spinning which isn’t a problem as I play it on PC but more of a disappointment.

Teflon021916d ago

They're definitely going to cry that it's completely unplayable or that it's broken probably lol

TheGamingArt1917d ago (Edited 1917d ago )

It’s hideous IMO. It’s a huge step back from what AAA studios have been delivering. HDR isn’t even a thing let alone the resolution.

Gwiz1917d ago

TBH I don't think the game would benefit from HDR due to an already increased contrast between colors.

TheGamingArt1916d ago

The game has a very flat look with washed out black and whites. It would benefit greatly with HDR.

InTheZoneAC1917d ago

no, looks great on ps4 pro. I'm playing on default settings and the game feels fine and looks great. No complaints about FPS.

badz1491917d ago

you sure you aren't talking from a PC masterrace's perspective?

Gardenia1916d ago

No one was complaining until Digital Foundry made their video about Kingdom Hearts 3. The game isn't perfect in any way, but also not a disaster as some would like you to believe. I play on the PS4 Pro and have yet to see mayor problems with the frame rate

Teflon021916d ago

If you're not seeing flux in framerate you're playing on the 1080p mode. Trust me, it's easy to tell. Even as a kid I'd notice those kinds of jumps between 30 and 60. Though it's not that big of a deal since it's basically always 30+ so it's not so bad.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT370d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
