About what I expected but glorious nonetheless
| , the video output available is NTSC 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p |
Now if only I had a high definition TV.
I am not saying its bad its just not what I expected kh covers always make me go WOW
Well, it's the back cover. Usually there's just screenshots or another piece of promotional artwork with a lot of text and logos.
Pretty much what's going on here. We already know what the front cover looks like anyways.
YES! 1080p!
I was only expecting 720p, so 1080 is a nice surprise! I couldn't care less about 3D support, but having a higher resolution is great.
The layout and artwork on the back looks good too.

I thought all Ps3 games are released in 1080p regardless. All games are on a blu-ray disc after all

Not all are in 1080p. The Ratchet & Clank games for example (as well as many others) are only 720. I'm really not sure why this is, but trust me, its true. Only about half of my PS3 games have the capability to display 1080p. There's really no excuse for it either.... I guess some developers are just lazy.
I wasn't expecting them to reuse the covers from the titles for the back of the box.
It looks very neat and simple though, so it does look nice.

I believe it has to do with the 3D support.

Hmm, I don't think so.
For example, MLB12 The Show has 1080p and 3D support while COD MW3 has 1080p and no 3D. The Ratchet & Clank Collection has only 720p but has 3D support, and Uncharted Drakes Fortune has 720p with no 3D.
I don't really see a pattern. I'm pretty sure its just up to the developers. Recently though, more PS3 games are using 1080.

Hm, then idk. Developer's choice? xD
The fact that they support 1080p is awesome. Alot of other HD collections recently (or even a lot of recent brand new games) only support 720 so it is great that Kingdom Hearts will be able to take advantage of the full visual quality my TV can offer.
I guess we won't know the framerate until we actually get our hands on it, right? (Kingdom Hearts' gameplay has always seemed fast paced, in a good way, so having it run at 60fps would only be beneficial to that. That said, I am probably expecting 30fps, which is fine but it is not 60fps.)
I've read contrary responses from officials/official sources regarding the language options, can someone please clarify or correct these points:
[LIST]
[*]The Japanese version either comes with English language support and Japanese subtitles or not (the SE staff from the EU blog says it does not)
[*]The NA version only comes with English language
[*]The EU version will be localized in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish (while KHFM gets EFG and Re:CoM and 358/2 Days only get English voice-overs, all of them have EFIGS subtiles)
[/LIST]
Okay let me give this a shot.

The Japanese version contains the option to swap out the Japanese voices for the English ones(in all except for 358/2 Days), the Japanese subtitles stay though.

[/LIST]
Correct. The localised version will only contain the English language.
[LIST] [*]The EU version will be localized in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish (probably meaning only texts as to my knowledge only the original KH got the respective voice-overs) [/LIST] |
I believe each region gets the game in their own language, though it wouldn't surprise me if one copy had the option to select the language(though I do believe 358/2 Days will remain in English, though time will tell).
It really was a mistranslation though that the option to switch would be there. I'd say it's just the japanese voices, or it wouldnt take so long to localize for Days.

No it doesn't. It is Japanese language only. No English in the Japanese version at all.

And Spanish, and Italian, and French, and German. It is unclear if this is for both PAL/Europe and NA or just Europe but we shall see.

Now if only I had a high definition TV.
Ugh, this.
I have an hd tv, but it's only 19", which is almost an oxymoron. Like, what's the point? I want a bigass tv for my HD Blu-rays starting NAO.

I still have an SD television from like 2002.
This is what mine looks like (Though that bar at the bottom broke off :P)
Hmm, I don't think so.
For example, MLB12 The Show has 1080p and 3D support while COD MW3 has 1080p and no 3D. The Ratchet & Clank Collection has only 720p but has 3D support, and Uncharted Drakes Fortune has 720p with no 3D.

I remember Borderlands 1 had 1080p, whereas its sequel, which had much more content, was downgraded to 720p. I'd say the increase of 1080p support is due to a combination of developers becoming more skilled with game development and the nature of the game itself.
You see, this is why Square-Enix is my all time favorite gaming company. They're not lazy like a lot of other devs *cough*Activision*cough*
1080P HERE I COME!

Having games at 720p resolution definitely beats waiting X amount of years for Versus. :v
So overall I don't think we're missing anything by not having 3D.

Don't listen to this if you still have faith in the future of the US...[/sarcasm]

On the topic of the back of the case, I really like what they did, but I really wished they had gone with the back of the classic KH1 case like they also had on the back of KH2. The backs were so simple and yet so nice...I really wish they went back to something like that :( Oh well, I can care less about the back. If anything I look at the front and the side more.
So overall I don't think we're missing anything by not having 3D.
There is usually a drop in quality (whether it be pixel rate or frame rate) if you are outputting in 3D due to it having to render two separate streams to make the 3D image. So I am ok with it not being in 3D.

1080P HERE I COME!
i wouldn't necessarily count giving a game 1080p as a reason to say square-enix aren't lazy.

I'm going to sound like a tech nerd but diddly it the reason that alot of PS3 games can not display full 1080P is because of the limited hardware that the PS3 boasts. Movies are a totally different subject but with games especially games like Skyrim where you have a million things going on at once I.e Particle effects AA Tesselation Lighting shadows etc etc often times it's just too much for the hardware to achieve full 1080P at a decent framerate. Not alot of people know this but the PS2 actually supported 720P only 4 games took advantage of that. I believe that Gran Turismo 4 is one of the few.
I like how the back cover says 'FOR JAPAN ONLY'.
So, would KH 1.5 look pretty good on a 46' tv? Because that's what I have and my FFXIII/XIII-2 games are stunning and beautiful on it.

I think most of Sony games in Japan say that. It's mainly as a "please do not sell this game outside of Japan" thing because of retail stuff.

Yep! 1080p in all of it's beauty~

HD remasters tend to look drop-dead gorgeous on the typical HDTV; I can tell you from my experiences with the Ico/SotC Collection that the visuals were so beautiful, I actually had a difficult time putting the game down because of that.
That's to be expected, of course; if developers aren't putting their efforts into building a game from ground-up, they damn well better focus on polishing what they already have.
Someone mentioned that SBMV (
[FONT=helvetica]Super Bit Mapping for Video)[/FONT]
is not very common in videogames. I've never actually heard of it before, though I buy a lot of Blu-rays and games. In practice, it's a solution to reduce colour banding. Even if you don't know what banding is, I'm sure you've seen it a LOT of times, especially in videogame cutscenes where the compression quality is very low. Here's an article explaining what it is and what it can achieve.I'm deeply impressed by the care Square has put into this! Hopefully time will fly :)

I honestly think it should be a standard addition to games, movies, and other media. This is definitely a great addition for them to have put in, especially because of how vivid Kingdom Hearts gets.
