Only a little under four days left until KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX will be released in Japan, and we are all dying to get a small taste of what the game will be like before its official release. On March 2nd, Sony Computer Entertainment Korea held "PLAY the PlayStation", an event where South Koreans could try out demos of various upcoming titles releasing on Sony consoles like the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Games like God of War: Ascension and Soul Sacrifice were shown off along with the awaited Square Enix title, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX.

In the demo attendees were able to play Destiny Island, the very first playable world in KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX where there are many visible updates to the textures and character models of the world. Below is a comparison shot between the original KINGDOM HEARTS and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX.

 

One lucky person was able to record the footage from the event and uploaded online. We have uploaded the video to our YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to Churro of KHUltimania for the info!

Edit: Thanks to Chaser, there are a variety of screencaps taken from the video for you to view below.

Music sounds different. I wonder if they have done brand new tracks or just remixed/rearranged the existing tracks. Either way it sounds pretty good, even though it is hard to tell give that this is a video of someone filming the screen.

It was already confirmed that Yoko Shimomura remastered/rearranged the tracks.

Yeah I guess. It just sounded like the tracks had completely different instrumentation something that wouldn't be possible in a pure remix of a track. But then again I am not the most knowledgeable about music production.

She also said the music was rerranged/remastered with live instruments so maybe that's it?

So the magic is just there for the demo right? It would be silly to be able to use magic that soon.


But my, my! It is always exciting to see one of my favorite old games looking so gorgeous.

Typically they'd include some abilities and such that you wouldn't have access to in the floor demo just to show things off. I suppose that is the case here.

the clarity is astounding, just the brightness makes it seem much more defined it's like the sun really is shining down on Sora as he's taking his nap

Don't expect the brightness to stay. I think it's just the TV/video camera.

That is probably it. The songs Richard Cheese did on his first album were done with synthesizers, then he later redid some of them with live instruments and the difference was night and day. So it would make sense that they would re-do some parts of the pieces with live instruments if they wanted it to sound fuller

Also, raven777 on NeoGAF says that the video is running at 60 fps, but was not sure if that was just the video running at 60 and the game was actually running at 30 or if both were running at 60.

Gotta love that reflecting light in Sora's eyes. <3
And the clean textures...

Yup, I remember they have that often. In the demo of FF VIII I have Quistis can also already use Leviathan in a part early on the first disc despite him only being available halfway during the second disc in the actual game.
