My facial expression right now mirrors this:

Square did such a neat work with this. ^__^

On the twitter (see here for English) they say that the development staff worked hard on the stained glass in particular, and I remember the art director Takeshi Fujimoto mentioning a similar thing back in a Famitsu article:

Fujimoto: In the beginning, the stained glass floors depicting princesses, or 'stations of awakening', in the opening of KH were retouched to such a high resolution that they'd have been fit for use in print media. However, as we added data we went over the memory limit, and sadly had to compress the texture size. Still, as you may expect, the compressed texture was unsatisfying compared to what we had become used to, and many people said things like 'it was better before' and 'isn't there anything we can do', and we ended up testing out many things. And then finally thanks to the magic of (Sumio) Nasu we were able to put a beautiful texture into the game.

YOUR WORK PAID OFF MR FUJIMOTO

Certainly. The stained glass looks like it came straight from the CGI.

That stained glass picture made me want to kiss my computer screen! The dev team did a GREAT job with that and this game!

 

[ShadicDH]

​This is going to be so epic!

[Thundah]

Square, I can't wait no more, I need this running in my console!

The stained glass parts really do look perfect! I think those stained glass images should be used more imo Whether that means putting them on shirts, as pins, or anything, they really should utilize those images, they are amazing!!!!

Freakin gorgeous <3
Hoping for more DI ones.

 

[ajmrowland]

Man it looks gorgeous! Makes me wanna slap haters in the face with it just to see how much attention from the team it's gotten.

I like how they're using bullshots for their HD collection....as if what we see on our TV is going to have anywhere near the level of anti-aliasing they use in their shots lol.

Well... yeah. I don't think anyone actually expected these to be an accurate representation. There was a reason I didn't call them "screenshots"

Pretty certain these are purposefully super high-res. They said in their tweets that these were things the staff worked hard on and in interviews they said that this stuff had to be compressed for the actual game. They are just showing off the actual quality they had since this stuff can't really be shown off in the actual game.

 

[ajmrowland]

Actually, I thought that they were largely referring to the original game, and that the current compression is closer to what they wanted(even though its completely redone)

Well... yeah. I don't think anyone actually expected these to be an accurate representation. There was a reason I didn't call them "screenshots"

To be fair, I did. :/


its not exactly like the ps3 isn't capable of that quality, unless somehow there's a set limit on textures, which I feel would be bizarre anyway as this part in particular doesn't have a huge amount to render.

 

[kupo1121]

Not sure if this is new or not, but Kotaku put up a video comparing 1.5 and KH1 side my side in game today and it's a nice comparison video imo ^_^

Let's Look at the PS2 and PS3 Versions of Kingdom Hearts Side-by-Side

 

[ajmrowland]

I've gotta try really hard to not watch!!!! I wanna make my own comparisons.

 

[Kevin Perez]

Wow. Just wow. The PS2 version sucks so much ass compared to 1.5 HD Remix, and no, I will not take my harsh words back. From this point on, I shall continue to slander and disparage the PS2 version of Kingdom Hearts, no matter what. In fact, they should not even be mentioned in the same sentence, just like I did now.

Long live Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix

They really outdid themselves with this HD remaster and Yoko is like a superwoman for recording so many wonderful tracks in one day lol.
