Square Enix PAX East 2013

Are you a Kingdom Hearts fan? Excited for Kingdom Hearts, Chain of Memories, and 358/2 Days to play in HD? oprainfall just finished viewing an exclusive build of the English version of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX and we’d like to share our thoughts.

Led by the one of the game’s localization staff we were able to view a demo of Atlantica. It’s an early build so nothing is final yet, but the obvious improvement includes a game entirely in HD. Everything is crisp and looks great on an HDTV. New camera controls are featured to make it easier to look around, and I think people are going to have fun playing a game that came out eleven years ago with a makeover. It was hard to tell if the audio has been touched up or not, but the English voices sound just as good as they did years ago.

I wasn’t allowed to play the demo myself, but we joked that if I tried to play I would crash the game by trying to get to Halloween Town. That would’ve been awesome, right?
