KH3 won't be seen until atleast "2012"?

    I think we would all love to see something of KH3 for 2012 but I don't think that's going to happen. I think the best we can hope for is a trailer in 2013 and that it will release in 2014 or 2015. The reason why is because they haven't even worked on the story or the actual engine yet. It is very sad, knowing we still have many years to wait. It could be a launch title for PS4 however like KH1 with PS2. A whole generation without KH on a console is heart breaking. I hope that pun made you happier. You never know though when they might spring KH3 and they could be secretly working on it so don't give your hopes up.

    I've found another extract from February 2010 that he would be working on it as soon as possible but this is only a reminder.

    This was posted on nintendoeverything which makes me wonder if the next game will be on a nintendo console and I hope it isn't. I would love a graphically superior Kingdom Hearts and the gameplay would look exactly like the cartoons but also PoTC would look much more realistic. I'd love to see FFXIII thrown in there aswell but Nomura would probably be sick of it by then.

    There's something else I want to talk about. I remember watching the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2 and this is it.

    YouTube - Kingdom Hearts 2 (BETA) - TGS 2003: Trailer

    Now according to this, it was 2003 when this came out and Kingdom Hearts 2 was released 3 years later. If it was revealed in 2012, if we are lucky, we would see the game at 2015. This depends, however if it was just the Kingdom Hearts team working on the project or if all of Square work on the game. I'm guessing we'll be able to see a trailer of it in 2012, see demo clips at 2013 and then possibly play it by 2014 or 2015. What do you guys think? This is my theory. I would be 22 at this time....boo....

    Well for the upcoming games, we have Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Final Fantasy XIII Versus and Agito, Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded and Kingdom Hearts 3D so there's still quite a lot to look forward to until then. I remember being so hyped about Kingdom Hearts 2 that I'd look on kh3.co.uk every morning before I go to school.


    With all this analysis and previous release dates along with the business strategies, here are my predicted release dates starting with Birth By Sleep, which we know.

    Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep - September 8th 2010
    Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded - March 2011
    Kingdom Hearts 3D- Fall 2011/Spring 2012
    Kingdom Hearts 3 - September 2014/March 2015

    I believe I made a similar thread a while back about this.

    Anyways, I have slightly different predictions on this...

    Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep: Sept. 7, 2010
    Kingdom Hearts re.Coded: Winter 2010(Japan), Spring 2011(NA, possibly Europe)
    Kingdom Hearts 3D: Spring 2011(Japan) Fall 2011(NA)
    Kingdom Hearts 3, trailer: Winter 2011
    Kingdom Hearts 3: Winter 2012/2013(Japan)

    In another source located I have found that Tetsuya Normura already has the story idea and such for Kindom Hearts 3 and as stated above the same team that worked on BBS are able to create the console game very easily, so enough demands from fans, they make make our concolse game.

    Normura did state that once the current Final Fantasy project is finished, they would spring to KH3, now as long as they do not run into delay to much on that project, everything else, granted it runs slowly.


    Square Enix and especially Normura is a huge fan of surprises though, and has prooven sometimes a bit of a liar to keep his surprise. Secret may be that he has the story idea and the such and just waiting on the release of the Final Fantasy title, then it be a start on KH3.


    Now away from all that, with mention of console, I believe none of us need to worry too much, KH3 will most likely be released with PS3. If some of you remeber correctly Normura is not a huge fan of brand new consoles, why are we getting 3DS, because Nitendo asked him to make that game.

    But during the time of KH2, it came out when PS3 was new, Normura said then he didn't trust the console yet with it being so new and there was no point. So more than likely since during the release we may have PS4, it'll still probably come out on PS3.

    Very good points and I agree but I think 2012/2013 may be too early but we'll see.

    Heres what I think

    BBS- September 7 2010
    Re Coded- Late 2010 like holiday season mabey in japan, spring 2011 NA
    KH 3D- I dont think this is coming for a while! late 2011 holiday season JAP. summer 2012 NA
    KH 3- Dissapointingly early 2013 in jap late 2013 in NA. I beleive a early trailer will be released by 2011 E3 or 2012

    I wouldn't bet on seeing KH III until at least 2013, and really I'm leaning closer to sorabrawl's prediction. For one, I'm pessimistic that Versus will ever be completed. And then we have no idea how long it will take to make KH III- hopefully it won't be like Versus, which was first unveiled way back in 2006 (and Wikipedia, though not always trustworthy, claims S-E may have begun production on it as early as 2003).

    And who knows if another side game will be sprung on us first.

    It would be nice to have a side game for the events of when Mickey gave Sora the letter in KH2.

    >.> next thread i see on this sort of topic, I am committing suicide twice..
    Drop KHIII please. You guys are trying to predict the unpredictable. If you want it that bad just wait. It's like we will get a KH game every year until we reach that point. Odd's are Nomura is running outta ideas for xehanort's story, so we will see the end of in KH3 pretty soon here. Odd's are we will get it between now and before we all turn old. so just chill

    GrandShadow I accept your challange.

    i honestly don't see why everyone wants it now so badly. i'm willing to wait for the simple fact that we know it's coming.
    i'm more worried about the storyline and how much the gameplay will change.


    and in my opinion- the official announcement will come late 2011 and the game itself will be out 2015/2016

    we haven't played a proper KH game since 2006 and that's a pretty long time. 2002 was when KH1 came out and we expected another for 2010.

    Which teachnically we're getting, Normura has stated that BBS could be put on a a huge console such as PS2 or PS3 and fans wouldn't know the difference, plus it is a huge game in the series.

    I actually sort of view it as a console main story game because if you look at the secret stories.

    At the end of KH1 you got secret movie for KH2
    At the end of KH2 you get secret movie for BBS
    End of BBS(if you go and watch the Japanese video) you get video for KH3

    Now it might even be likely if I look at things now and they stay on this 4 year track, that KH3 won't show until 2014, 2013ish for Japan.

    Ok here's my thought.
    You people are blowing it wayyy out of perspective. There is no way if a game has been announced and has a trailer by 2011 it will come out 2015 or 16. It doesn't take that long! Kh3 in my eyes will most definetly come out 2013 in jap early and 2013 late NA. Simple as that. Normura has a thing with his games that ive noticed. Early release in jap late in Na.

    Last time I checked. KH DAYS was a proper KH game. *pulls out notepad* yes it was.
    We haven't played a KH game that continued with sora's story sense 2006 though.
    True, and its the next game, so we should be happy

    All of them are really "main story" games. they fill in things we didn't know about the past and whatno

    We really didn't get a video for KH3, that was more like the end of KH2 with a few more added things.

    Do you guys wanna listen to me? yea? okay cool.
    Kingdom Hearts III, KH3, Kingdom Hearts 3. will be released when its ready. so that could be between now and whenever. On a realistic stand point we will see KH3 in 2012-13 or early 14.
    and you don't realize that KH3 is on hold. It hasn't been announced and there is no trailer. We don't know when its coming out. and if you remember the KH2 trailer came out in 2002..KH2 didn't come out until 2006. 4 years. 2011 trailer is out 4 years from that is 2015 so its realistic buddy.

    Well think about it. that was 2002 its freakin 2010. Games are developed a whole lot faster then back then. For example Cod. CODMW2 came out last christmas. Black ops...i beleive is coming out the same time this year. They developed it in a YEAR!!!! Game announced 2011, game comes out end of 2012 in jap or early 2013. and it comes out late 2013 in NA.

    I dunno, I don't quite agree with that. All of them may fill in things we didn't know, but did we really need to know them? Like, take Coded. I don't consider that game particularly necessary.

    Though, from many accounts, not a very well-received one.

    What's Versus' excuse then? It's developed by the same people, still taking forever to be completed.

    I agree with your reasoning. And that's assuming we get a trailer in 2011, and that the team doesn't run into development hell along the way.

    I'm getting to the point where I don't really care that much about KH anymore, but I know I'd like a game not on a handheld, that I could actually play. And really, the reason I'd like to see KH III is because I'm hoping it wraps up the story.
     
  16. Ventus

    Ventus Kickass Keyblader!

    It was a spinoff!

    I agree with this. PS2 games needed less production time than the PS3 due to graphics and the processing power. It is harder to code and that is the reason why games are shorter nowadays.

    I figured he meant by a console game.

    A game that should take longer than the console games as well.

    I guess you could consider Days to be more of a side game than anything else. Simply because it didn't have much too add that would be relevant to Sora's story. For example:

    BBS: Why the things happen in KH1
    KH1: The beginning of Sora's story
    CoM: What happens right after KH1
    KH2: Continuing Sora's story after CoM
    Coded: (This is more of a guess since I haven't played it or really even know what happens) Giving more information as to what Sora will need to do in future games


    Maybe it won't even come out. The Xehanort Saga could be completely finished with several games on handheld systems, although I highly doubt it.

    I figure Coded is more necessary than Days.

    Since Square has been making more games on handhelds, I don't know if KH will ever truly finish. I think it will be Square's next cash cow in case they can't make more money off of FFVII.

    Then I don't suppose either are really necessary.

    Yeah, I have a feeling you may be right. It'll be a shame when they run a good story into the ground by stretching the series too far.
