Kingdom Hearts 3D in this week's Dengeki PlayStation.

[Shamdeo]

This is the 500th issue of DPS, and so "Tetsuya Nomura Allstars" artwork will be featured, but per aibo-chan they will include Lightning, Serah, Noel, Machina, Rem, and Noctis. There are interviews with a bunch of Square-Enix folks this week for a bunch of games and Kingdom Hearts 3D is mentioned, so we'll post here any information we come across!

There are interviews with the following:

Tetsuya Nomura (director: Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Kingdom Hearts series)
Yoshinori Kitase (producer: Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series)
Yusuke Naora (art director: Final Fantasy Type-0)
Motomu Toriyama (director: Final Fantasy XIII-2)
Hiromichi Tanaka (director: Final Fantasy XIV)
Hajime Tabata (director: Final Fantasy Type-0)

I don't imagine much.
It's a Playstation magazine. Not a Nintendo magazine. It'll probably be something like, "Yes, we have a lot in store for the Kingdom Hearts series *insert rambling* and you should look forward to seeing KH3D at TGS in September."
Most of everything concerning KH, I except to be about the series in general, and not KH3D.

edit:
Very excited to hear more about Versus though.

A Yusuke Naora interview? Definitely looking forward to that.

 

[Shamdeo]

Yeah, it's kinda weird that KH3D would be mentioned in DPS of all places.

But I'm told this isn't uncommon.

 

[Ruran]

Awesome, can't wait for the new addition. Nomura art work is always a must see.

 

[Shamdeo]

If I recall correctly there was an issue of DPS that was about Advent Children Complete that had 358/2 Days info.

 

[Taochan]

Really excited for this issue of DPS. :33 Thanks Sham!

 

[rac7d]

hoping for some new art or in game pics not in tranverse town
mabey the names of the new allies..........

 

[Unrequited Lust]

When does this come out? Possibility of Birth by Sleep Volume 2 being announced?

 

[Shamdeo]

Lol, there's a vague comment about Square-Enix being aware of the 10th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts and that they are thinking about HD technology. (Again, really vague here.)

Here's what duckroll from Neogaf posted:

In the big interview with Nomura, Dengeki talks to him about various developments in the current games he's involved in. They also talk about the Kingdom Hearts series. There are some interesting tidbits there. Nomura talks about how development on KH3D is progressing rapidly, but their schedule is pretty tight. He wants the game to have the quality of a console title, without compromising just because it is on a portable. He also mentions that the game is mostly up and running now, and it looks great. The motion and animation is supposed to be particularly impressive because of the various flashy moves you can do, such as Sora's wall jumping. He says the game is supposed to have the most impressive character movement in gameplay in the series so far, and honestly since it's from the BbS team, I believe him completely.

He also talks about the 10th Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, and how their priority right now is to finish KH3D, but he is also thinking about other things. One element he is concerned about is how hard it is for new gamers to enter into the KH series. This inaccessibility for the series is something they are currently investigating, to see how they can introduce new gamers into the series in a better way. Another thing they are looking into is HD technology for the series. They are evaluating the options they have carefully.

As for when KH3D will be out, he says there is nothing to announce at the current moment, but he is definitely aiming to release the game not too far in the future. It sounds like he wants to release it by early 2012 if possible. KH3D will be playable on the TGS show floor.

Wouldn't the best way be with an HD collection for PS3, Xbox 360, and possibly Wii? How long would it take for SE to remaster the games and also put it on other consoles by changing controls and such? Wii seems like a long shot since I doubt they would even bother with motion controls, but the Xbox controller is basically the same as a Playstation controller, it has the same number of buttons and analog sticks, so I can't really see that being too much trouble. It would be well worth it considering how many more people would buy it.

 

[Gray Aria]

The Wii is not HD so that's already ruled out for an HD remaster collection.

 

[Radar]

"The game is up to 60% completion now."

 

[loke13]

With it already having a playable demo at TGS I can defiantly seeing it releasing sometime in spring of 2012.

 

[rac7d]

tgs is in september right?
