From the 1up podcast they think that the next game in the Kingdom Hearts universe will be called Zero and will be on the PSP system. For now though this is just a rumor.
Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studios have announced the launch of the official site for the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Set to arrive this Summer exclusively on PlayStation Portable (PSP), Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is the latest title in the hugely successful Kingdom Hearts series, which has shipped more than fourteen million copies worldwide.
Great!
Now we just need an official US and EU release date and I'll be happy!
Famitsu.com shared earlier today some commentary from Square Enix super producer Tetsuya Nomura regarding Final Fantasy Versus XIII. See this story for a summary of that.
The Famitsu.com report also had commentary from Nomura on other games, both his own and from Square Enix's competitors. Here's a bit of what was said.
"The TGS demo offered players a first chance at playing as Aqua, one of the three main characters. I didn't notice this myself, but apparently the character's clothing had her back showing. This is actually from a "too sexy version" of the character, Nomura said, and will be changed for the final."
I had always thought Aqua was sexy for a Kingdom Hearts Character. To bad they think that having no clothing on her back makes her too sexy.
How did the concept behind Kingdom Hearts, one of Square Enix's most successful new concepts in recent years, come about? "I don't remember the details, but I was talking with [current Square Enix corporate executive] Shinji Hashimoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi," producer Tetsuya Nomura told Famitsu magazine in an interview. "The topic came up that it'd be nice if we could make a game with Disney. I had been wanting to make an original action RPG by that time, and I had had the basic game system for KH in my mind for a while by that point. I thought it'd be a good opportunity for me, so I raised my hand and told them to let me handle it."
Very smart guy, especially the part about people only wanting to play big name games. People only seem to want FFXIII and Versus from Square Enix right now, which is a pity because their other games are awesome!
True, but a lot of their other games are crap. He is one of my favorite Devs. Everything he touches is just so well put together. FFvsXIII is truly going to be epic.
Well they do have some rubbish games but not as many as people think. Whilst people will say The Last Remnant that's one out of god knows how many(over 50) since the start of this gen.
If you avoid all but the main FFs(and Versus for some strange reason), KH and DQ you're missing a lot of quality games but only a few bad games.
EDIT: It depends how high your standards are of course though as many people didn't like Infinite Undiscovery or Star Ocean IV but I think they're enjoyable(but not great).
I've played Star Ocean TLH and to tell you the truth not impressed at all. It was decent at best and sure it didnt have the technical issues like the others but coming from SE my expectation is much higher. I've never checked out IU but might have too.
When u watched the secret KIngdom HEarts 2 trailer
You saw it had really good graphic. So can it be on PSP. its gonna be on pS3.... or could be on 360 but whats the chance of that
..KH Zero is mentioned at 84:10.
Thanks... we had another article that mentioned this for Square games.. not sure why we needed another article, was hoping for some new news, but nope.
KH3,also i love square-enix for bringing their best IPs for the playstation brand.
Maybe good news for the whole playstation family with regards to Kingdome Hearts, since it's been rumored for a while that the franchise is leaving playstation for other consoles like Wii and DS.
