Yay!! I wondered if they would do 2 and the rest, especially if it lets me get to see and/or play the story from the other two games (Birth by Sleep and Re:Coded).

Another PS3 preorder for me Very Happy

Would be great if it includes dual audio, which i see no reason for not including in the game like the previous 1.5 one ?

Should Japanese really audio matter?

I'm disappointed that "Dream Drop Distance" isn't on it. Unlike "Re: Coded," that game was actually relevant to the plot.

Everyone already knew that 3D wouldn't be in it. One, it's already on a current-gen system, there's no reason to bring it "up to date" (or mostly up to date), and two, it requires use of the touch screen. You'll note that the only dual-screen games have been turned into movies?


That being said, I haven't watched the trailer yet, but is it a) confirmed that it's re:coded and not coded? Reports I've seen from twitter friends watching the event live say coded, and b) confirmed that it's just cutscenes? Again, friends were left with that as questions.

coded, being originally a mobile game, doesn't really require the second screen, and can easily be done for the PS3.

For someone who never bothered with any of the handheld games this is actually quite pleasing.

None of this is new stuff, it's an HD collection. And since the two versions of these games never left Japan it's nice to finally have it coming here. And for those who didn't buy a PSP it's a more convenient way to play Birth by Sleep.

Also compared to Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed's annual releases, the Kingdom Hearts series is hardly "milked". In a span of 12 years we've had 6 games, that's not that bad.

I'm excited for this! I have all of the games already, but no final mixes so this is really great for me! I'm also excited for BBS to be on my television screen Smile

Now I gotta just get a PS3 and I can play 1.5 while waiting for 2.5 lol.

I know 3 is coming for sure, so this is less annoying and more well needed recap. Still, 3, Avengers. Do it.

The reason they're turned to cutscenes is because the games are so ugly they'd require a full on remake. The DS's 3D wasn't pretty on that screen, upressing it to 1080p is going to make eyes bleed.

it's about time bbs gets an hd remaster. There are so many fans of the series that skipped over this game due part that it was for the psp.
