Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory trailer (PS4, Xbox One, Switch)

[JCal]

That's some asset reuse alright lol

OMG of course they have to add some extra shit at the end. You've already seen all this shit, but buy it anyways because there's one bonus scene. FU!

 

[Joshua]

Huh, that whole trailer was unexpected.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Sadly looks nowhere near as charming as the KH Theatrythm I hoped for in the 3DS days. If it's cheap I'll prolly grab it tho.

 

[delete12345]

Has any studio gotten more mileage out of a character model than Sora's KH 1 design?

Click to shrink...

Nintendo's Mario design.

 

[Kurtikeya]

I'm just excited to play Vector to the Heavens and to hope that Kairi gets allowed to be cool for a good amount of time.

 

[silva1991]

They're definitely going to put important story in this game, so add it to the list of games you have to play to get the whole picture.

Click to shrink...

More like wait for story explanation videos before KH4 comes out.

 

[Ozzie]

Look at the graphics of this compared to KH3. How is this still being asked?

Click to shrink...

What I meant was, why haven't they ported the old games/collection? I ain't asking for KH3.

 

[Zaverious]

It is the Kairi game. I'm so dead. Didn't expect PS2 models oh well I'll still play it.

 

[Poltergust]

If I'm not mistaken that art style came from a Kingdom Hearts mobile game originally anyway

Click to shrink...

No, the characters in the mobile game look different to these.

These are intentionally referencing Theatrhythm.

 

[RecRoulette]

It seems we will find out who MoM is... in the rythm game. Like what the hell is going on!!!

Click to shrink...

"EveRY gAmE mATters!" except unironically.

 

[out_of_touch]

This game was proven to be a hoax a few weeks ago

 

[DanarchyReigns]

I am screaming internally at the fact that even in 2020 they're still finding a way to use the KH1 models. This is some Castlevania level of asset reuse.

Click to shrink...

Or Morrigan Aensland using the same sprites for like a decade.

 

[Deleted member 30681]

I know now, without a doubt,

Spoiler: KH spoilers

Demyx is the master of masters

 

[jett]

lol

Really squeezing the juice out of those PS2 assets huh

 

[Strings]

Huh, weird. I'm actually all about them reusing the HD remaster assets if it means they can put out more games.

 

[Future Gazer]

The Kairi part is obviously just a bonus movie. No way they could get KH3 tier gameplay running on Switch.

 

[ILikeFeet]

1. looks kinda slow
2. only KH1 Sora? ew
3. oh goodie, more of Nomura's Wild Ride

 

[Sleve McDichael]

It doesn't look great.
day one.

 

[ZangBa]

Will Sephiroth be a secret boss in this at least?

 

[Oregano]

Look at the graphics of this compared to KH3. How is this still being asked?

Click to shrink...

If only they had a lot of older games that they could sell in nice packages.🤔

 

[9-Volt]

Look at the graphics of this compared to KH3. How is this still being asked?

Click to shrink...

No one's asking KH3 to be on Switch. There are 6 other KH games, you know...

 

[DaveB]

So it's like Theatrhythm, just with a KH twist... Neat!

 

[Harpoon]

This was proven to be a hoax a few weeks ago

Click to shrink...

What? It's on SE's official channel.

 

[Wispmetas]

They're really not making it easy for me to be a defender of KH's story.

 

[Chase]

I enjoy rhythm games (though not crazy about what we saw with how this plays. Will need to see more) and love KH music so this is exciting for me.

Canon story shenanigans is an added bonus!

 

[PRrambo_]

Hard pass on this one

 

[DNAbro]

What are you talking about

 

[Deleted member 17388]

It's gonna be revealed that you, the player, was the Master of Masters all along.

 

[Xavi]

Stop insulting the Theatrhythm games with whatever this...thing is.

 

[Camjo-Z]

No, the characters in the mobile game look different to these.

These are intentionally referencing Theatrhythm.

Click to shrink...

Not Union Cross, they mean the original KH mobile game.

 

[Ruck]

They mean this mobile game

 

[Menx64]

zzzzzzzzz...
it looks terrible.

 

[Alex3190]

Watch it be like"Get a perfect run and you'll be able to watch the secret ending. :D"


:'(

 

[Crossing Eden]

Nintendo's Mario design.

Click to shrink...

Pretty sure they make a new one every time. We still stuck on ps2 era Sora, with animations included. POST KH3.

 

[criteriondog]

Could they not use the KHIII models/assets?

Or at least Kingdom Hearts II?

Why use goofy looking Kingdom Hearts 1 Sora? Lol

edit: I'm mistaken? I guess there are some KHII and III assets later in the trailer? And there's a story??? Or are they reusing scenes from the previous games?

At least the Switch finally gets a Kingdom Hearts game. Hopefully the Switch gets a KH collection. I am sure there's a large Nintendo fanbase that would love them.

 

[Oregano]

Not Union Cross, they mean the original KH mobile game.

Click to shrink...

Yeah Re:coded included them on DS too:

 

[Wispmetas]

I mean, I'm in. But I'm very worried if those cutscenes end up being part of Memory of Melody.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I'm gonna be honest, as much as this DOES look like a hardcore asset flip, I do actually kind of like the way it seems to approximate in-game graphics and scenes via gameplay. That's a really clever twist on the Theatrhythm format.

Also I am laughing my ass off at the fact Kairi's game is a fucking rhythm game spinoff. Of course it is.

 

[HitMissYeah]

A Kingdom Hearts Theatrhythm, nice! Will buy it, love the music.

 

[Deleted member 66543]

I'm in

 

[Nakenorm]

So now I gotta play some janky looking rhythm game to keep up with the story as well?
Sigh. Nah, not falling for it. I'll wait for the inevitable YouTube compilation video explaining whatever I've missed before the next big KH release.

 

[Japanmanx3]

It's like theatrhythm

 

[Agni Kai]

Get ready to beat this in the hardest difficulty so you can have a 30 seconds teaser trailer of a plot point that will be explained in 5 more years.
I love rhythm games, but I'm done with KH games.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

It's no Dancing All Night that's for sure.

But you're gonna need to play it because it's probably be important to understanding KH4.

 

[Poltergust]

Not Union Cross, they mean the original KH mobile game.

Click to shrink...

It's still actually different, even if this is more similar than what they look like in Union Cross.

 

[Brazil]

Holy shit at what's going on in the latter half of the trailer :lol

So freaking in. Been waiting for a Kingdom Hearts rhythm game since the first Theatrhythm came out.

 

[TradedHats]

Playing a rythm game to this:




while

Spoiler: 358/2 Days Spoilers

Xion dies in the background

lol

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lame garbage. Finally get a fucking KH game on Switch and it's some lame af music game

 

[9-Volt]

Stop insulting the Theatrhythm games with whatever this...thing is.

Click to shrink...

Theatrhythm games cannot get enough insults for me. Circle Pad was one of the input methods and it turned the whole game a torture for me.

 

[Callibretto]

It seems we will find out who MoM is... in the rythm game. Like what the hell is going on!!!

Click to shrink...

naah, it turn out he has a mask under the hood and you still don't know who he is
