Kingdom Hearts III

[unprincess]

Im not a gamer so Ive never paid much attention to the KH franchise(despite admiring how high quality the game and its related products are, b/c you know, Japan is awesome.) I just viewed this trailer to see if there was anything Frozen related in it, and Im shocked at how good the voice actor for Hades is. He sounds exactly like James Woods speaking Japanese!

New trailer's out. A Toy Story world is revealed. The game is given an open release date of 2018.

Apparently the Toy Story world features more than one film-specific party member for the first time, with both Woody and Buzz available as party members. This is a new development I'm excited about.

So disappointed the reveal wasn't a Frozen world. Not surprised to see a Pixar world. Unfortunately I'm resigned to the fact that this series which used to be a Disney/FF crossover will soon be overflowing with Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, etc. Bleh, just gag me. Another reason to hate Disney swallowing everything on Earth.

Same. As soon as I heard the new world was Toy Story I couldn't help but be disappointed.

Relax. We don't know for sure if there will be a Star Wars or Marvel world. And Toy Story was pretty much already partly Disney when it was first released.

The extreme bias against Pixar as if they are just another Marvel or Lucasfilm acquisition is really uncalled for. They are just as much a part of the Disney family as anyone.

Anyway, I'm floored by how close they were able to get to the real movies. In fact, it looks better than the first movie if you can look past an occasional jagged edge. The depth of field blur, the ambient occlusion, the detailed models, animation, its all there.

The extreme bias against Pixar

It's not a "bias", it's just a preference. Pixar fans are not expected to be WDAS fans too, so why isn't the other way around just as acceptable?

as if they are just another Marvel or Lucasfilm acquisition

Aren't they?

[Kyle]

I honestly can't think of many pixar fans I've run into that don't like disney's movies as well. If someone is a pixar fan, I tend to assume they like a lot of disney's animated movies too.

And no, its nothing like the Lucasfilm or marvel thing. They didn't start making mega successful movies as an independent for years then got swallowed by Disney. They saw potential in them early on in their modest beginnings. They've more then proven their worth over the years, to see some still treat them as an outcast not worthy of the Disney name is just stupid.

Having a preference is fine, but flipping them the bird and grumbling about their inclusion in this goes beyond that.

Funny, most Pixar fans I meet seem to sneer at Disney movies, see Disney as having been saved by Pixar, and conversely see Disney as the reason Pixar has turned to crap lately.

They've more then proven their worth over the years, to see some still treat them as an outcast not worthy of the Disney name is just stupid.

It's not about them being "worthy" or not. It's about the fact that they are not Disney and don't belong in a Disney/FF crossover. They aren't any different than any other company/property Disney has subsumed for money's sake. Kingdom Hearts doesn't have much of a defining identity now.

Honestly, I think it's amazing and rather unexpected. I was very much expecting to be Frozen, but I'm glad to be surprised that Toy Story is in this. Pixar to me is connected to Disney and has worked with Disney since their inception. It just makes sense to me. Now regarding Star Wars and Marvel, uh no keep those out please.

Also, Frozen is going to be in Kingdom Hearts 3. It's pretty much a given. Also, perhaps the footage for Frozen isn't quite finished yet, but Toy Story was.

I feel the same way. I think that the Toy Story world looks awesome; I was excited watching the footage. I am a big Star Wars fan, and I love that Disney has invigorated SW, but it wouldn't necessarily fit in a Disney mash-up (WIR2 notwithstanding ).

I was kind of hoping that Pixar would not be included in the KH series, as it's not quite "Disney" enough, but I'm inclined to agree that Pixar is as much a part of the Disney family as any of them. Marvel and Star Wars are different because they have long since been household names long before Disney ever got them. Anyway, I kind of figured it was inevitable that Pixar would be included in the KH series.

Will there be Cinderella and Aurora worlds?

Will there be Cinderella and Aurora worlds?

They're already was, back in 2010's Prequel "Birth by Sleep"

[Disney's Divinity]

A new trailer came out today (click here).

Also, there was a tease of the new theme song, "Oath" (Japanese version) / "Don't Think Twice" (English version) by Utada Hikaru (click here)!

I love everything that was revealed. Marluxia's return, Riku's new outfit/hairstyle, the absolutely gorgeous new theme (which I'd put above "Sanctuary" and below Simple & Clean), the Ariel summon, the Monsters Inc. transformations for Goofy and Donald--all fantastic. Well, the Monsters, Inc. reveal confirms spoilers that came out a little while back (Leaked images of the Monsters, Inc. world as well as Frozen. Those same spoilers also leaked that Winnie the Pooh is returning.).

I saw "Monsters, Inc.", but I did not see "Frozen" or Winnie the Pooh.

I'm still not entirely happy that Pixar movies are being referenced, but at least "Toy Story" is not the only one anymore. That said, I'm not sure how I feel about Sora's party's look in the Monsters, Inc. world. I'm rather creeped out by them.

I'm also still holding out for a Dumbo world. As I said before, that could be the equivalent of KH1's 100 Acre Wood and KH2's Atlantica, as an "optional" level that you would come back to multiple times over the course of the game.

No, thanks. I don't even want Pixar worlds in there, let alone Marvel and Lucasfilm ones. Can we please not turn Kingdom Hearts into Disney Infinity where anything goes?

I'm fine with Pixar, but highly against Star Wars or Marvel... I mean, just no. I've always felt Pixar is an extension of Disney in a way, so I'm fine with that. Marvel and Star Wars? Uh... nope. nope nope no. I don't care how cool people think a lightsaber keyblade would look, just no.

[Tristy]

I agree. I feel now if they did all that, that would be very much pure pandering to those who think older Disney is not "cool enough" which in a way is kind of what Disney is doing now.

[bradhig]

Any princesses in this one?
