Turns out that there are some pretty big things wrong with the ports, particularly KH2.
A lot of the issues are caused by the shift to 60 fps, which messes up the physics in KH1 and 2, causing certain bosses to behave strangely, with one being almost potentially broken, and some moves lasting shorter than they should such as Quick Run. Previous issues that existed in the PS3 collections also still exist, such as the Final Xemnas Reaction Command Glitch, which is pretty unacceptable. The worst involves a save crash where the game has a chance of outright crashing when attempting to save, causing you to potentially lose quite a bit of progress.
Square did not patch the original 1.5 and 2.5 on PS3 and even RETAINED crashes and bugs from those collections, it demonstrates that either they are incompetent, or are simply not aware at all of them despite them being decently publicised by players in the original releases.
Here's an example of some of the issues if you need proof: KH1 Simba Agrabah Crash: clips twitch dot tv/TallAgreeableShrewOptimizePrime KH1 Sephiroth Meteors: youtube.com/watch?v=gP214c3DfCI KH2 Experiment Crash: clips twitch dot tv/ChillyFitSnakeTheTarFu Data Vexen on PS4: youtube.com/watch?v=GL8fpLQpTWI&t=2h11m40s Data Vexen in comparison to the original: youtube.com/watch?v=gv_E__NkEBs Everything in this video besides the section on load times: youtube.com/watch?v=1zC_HMTRWFU Random Menu Crash: www twitch dot tv/videos/128072312 Save crashes: clips twitch dot tv/MotionlessEnjoyableCardCharlieBitMe clips twitch dot tv/SlipperyCrowdedNigiriStrawBeary Now we have crashes trying to load the idle trailer if you stay on the title screen too long...yeah this version of KH2 is very unstable: clips twitch dot tv/VenomousWrongBeaverHassanChop
Also they fucked up the graphics and the frame rate isn't even steady 60fps.
So besides a few physics changes due to the FPS change, these issues are all things from the original games? I don't see any issue if that's the case. KH 1 and 2 are pretty darn stable. Why would a company waste resources on fixing minor bugs if they didn't advertise that they would?
Jose Kelly
While I'm hoping Squeenix patches these before the international release, I'm ok with a few hiccups here and there as long as the main story is playable for all the games. Sephiroth's meteors are fucking unacceptable, but I was never able to beat him before, so it doesn't matter too much to me. I'll dust off the PS3 if I ever feel like tackling that challenge
Brody Wilson
No there are now more issues than ever, you will crash on saving and during gameplay. And it looks ugly.
Evan Evans
>being so autistic you overblow issues only autistic speedrunners care about
Cooper Gonzalez
>most of the issues are strictly related to optional bosses and crashing That effects normal players not speed runners.
Samuel Rodriguez
>I'm ok with a few hiccups console peasant standards everyone
Brayden Bennett
Are you going to post this stupid shit every day? Nobody cares
Adam Sanders
Framerate independent code??? How do multiply by frame time???
Chase Butler
>nobody cares about a broken game console peasants everyone.
Owen Richardson
Please don't use Kairi for your autistic shitposting, she is too pure.
Asher Rogers
>Speedrunner details the problems with the game >Brings up the common statement of just relearn the fights >A speedrunner makes the argument, "Some people have lives"
My sides.
Caleb Gray
Kairi was such a fine piece of ass how come I've never realized this
Xavier Flores
Not an argument
Elijah Bell
What did they do to her?
Robert Rogers
You got me there bucko :^) Enjoying your Kingdom Hearts Steam ports?
Zachary Lewis
Never heard of emulation? Enjoy buying broken ports.
Owen Scott
>game crashes when saving speedrunners dont save to save time though
Blake Torres
Why are KH fans dismissing this as just retarded bullshit? Do you guys not understand that SE is trying to sell you one of your favorite games but full of shit that makes it worse. Why doesn't anyone give a fuck that SE is fucking over their favorite series?
Leo Brooks
It's a well known fact KH fans are completely autistic.
Mason Turner
Consider the following; anyone buying a port of a port of a "final mix" is fucking retarded.
Liam Campbell
Because those are just minor flaws that will get patched day one when it releases here. Not to mention, it fixes the Drive loading times AND there is literally no more load times. No more load times is enough to even buy the game.
Sebastian Hill
They aren't minor flaws, they're game breaking issues and they will not get patched.
Ian Hall
They aren't game breaking ya autist. >they won't get patched Just like DDD on 3DS and 2.8 didn't get patched? You pretending to be retarded on purpose or were you just born dumb?
Hudson Sanders
So let's get this straight:
>random crashes >crashes you can replicate >crashes while saving >crashes while idling in certain menus >60fps bugs, more 60fps bugs than you get on emulators >30fps cutscenes >fucked up graphics >missing sound effects
Kayden Johnson
It didn't get patched, the issues are still there.
Ian Parker
>DDD didn't get patched Yes it did? So did 2.8 so there's a precedent. Stop being retarded.
Owen Lewis
No they didn't.
David Ortiz
Come now, user. It's pretty much a given, even if it takes time.
Colton Hughes
I was actually considering buying these games for a fourth time for whatever reason This series means too much to me I guess
Parker Wright
>Be upset about not having a PS4, and not being able to play the definitive KH series (60fps, 1080p, higher resolution textures, trophies, widescreen, etc) >They're broken
yes thats why she wears clothing that you can zip off in a flash
but is high enough that you dont have to
Zachary Scott
I have absolutely no fucking idea what any of this means. Can you still play through the game casually or not?
Brayden Torres
So basically this is all autistic crap that only le speedrunners give a shit about?
Fuck off then.
Ryder Anderson
i havent touched the series since KH2 i i was never interessted in getting handheld shit
i will most likely get this to catch up on all the years
Evan Cruz
Notice how these didn't fix the issues with the games like stuttering cutscenes? It's just a rebalance you fucking retard.
No patch.
Jaxon Mitchell
Your game will crash randomly and when saving and some bosses will be near impossible to beat. And it will look uglier than the PS3 versions.
Nicholas Sanders
So you can is what you're saying?
Carter Brown
Why even tie physX to frame rate? If this was the year 2000 even I'd know that shit is just hampering.
Carson Brown
>a patch with patch notes isn't a patch because I say so ESL?
James Jackson
>a patch that fixes none of the issues is a patch that fixes issues Was it autism?
Thomas Murphy
ok ill get it then
harder bosses dont bother me
and im sure the crashing problem is just being exaggerated like most things
Jayden Roberts
We seriously need to spread this info about the KH 1.5 & 2.5 problems on Square Enix's forums, Twitter, Gamespot and IGN.
Trust me, if the KH 1.5 & 2.5 problems don't cause an uproar, than Square won't do anything to fix it.
Ethan Turner
You claimed that they didn't have patches, I show you they did in fact recieve patches, so yes you are autistic to not understand what a patch is.
Jayden Gomez
Might want to read the OP.
Nathaniel Myers
By definition a patch fixes something, it patches it.
The game had no fixes, it wasn't patched.
Ryder Johnson
Don't bother, he'll just damage control.
Nicholas Richardson
Will it get patched? Can we hope? I''ll be very disappointed if it didn't get fixed.
Levi Ward
So you're not pretending to be retarded, you just can't help it. Balance issues getting fixed through a patch is a fucking patch, fixing fucking timing through a patch is a fucking patch, fixing game breaking save issue is a patch, if you have to update your fucking game that's a patch.
Joshua Myers
Nope.
Elijah Baker
'Will', or 'might'?
Elijah James
Will.
Andrew Reyes
This fucking thread again. Let this shitty series sink. It sucks. Developers want it to flop. s a g e
Jace Cox
Considering the fanbase is too fucking stupid to know what a patch is I agree.
Wyatt Bailey
Your waifu is a slut SLUUUUT
Christian Stewart
so please explain what a patch is
Asher Scott
Learn English and read Then make sure to graduate middle school and become a eunuch to save the human race the fate of having to worry about the slim chance of you reproducing. I must be new to get baited this easily by someone this stupid.
Gabriel Howard
Doesn't change the fact the games are all still broken and SE will never fix them.
Juan Brown
wew lad, okay. Stay in your own reality that's been shot down by the real world. I'm sure you'll keep making these autistic fucking threads and over exaggerating the issues anyway.
Jacob Barnes
What the fuck? What kind of reply is this?
Owen Peterson
None of this effects speed runners.
Isaiah Hernandez
This is a question to KH fans. I bought 1.5 but kept it new until just last week when I sold it to help fund getting the PS4 version. Using past releases as evidence, will this release be patched to a good state? Does SE care about it enough? Or should I just spend my money elsewhere.
Note: I've never played KH before so it would literally be my first time
Jason Diaz
Idk. I say wait it out to see what happens. Personally, I'm checking out Nier while I wait.
Joshua Barnes
Ehhh it's worth playing through at least once. I say buy it.
Jaxon Robinson
Is there an option to turn off subtitles? This is a deal breaker.
Joseph Peterson
Sometimes I wish I was sora.
William Flores
Based on SQUARE Enix's past behavior,, there will be no technical fixes, they're only willing to rebalance things as those are incredibly easy patches to develop.
Kayden Jenkins
DidnĀ“t they have to make Kingdom Hearts 1 from the ground up for the PS3 release, because they lost the code or something?
Julian Diaz
>The game potentially crashing while saving and losing all progress since your last save is not game breaking.
What the fuck are you smoking?
Nicholas Lopez
No.
Connor Ward
Save your money and wait until it's out to see what people are saying about it. Although to be honest that should be the default action for just about any new game release.
Hudson Carter
Just play the PS3 version, there was nothing wrong with 1.5 other than the music(some people prefer the original). It's 2.5 that had issues on PS3.
Dominic Collins
this is a common thing, dark souls 2 had similar problems on release for PC
