Venocide Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Square Enix's highly anticipated third entry in the Kingdom Hearts franchise may feature an online component. According to series director Tetsuya Nomura, the studio is currently looking into adding some sort of online features to Kingdom Hearts III. "Online is certainly part of my wish list -- we want gamers to play for a while and an online component helps this," he told Engadget. Fans need not worry, though, as Nomura went on to emphasize the fact that the single-player campaign is still the core focus and online won't simply be tacked on needlessly. "While we may be focusing on the main campaign at the moment, but it's not as if we're going to tack on an online function at the end," he said. "In fact, we've already got plenty of ideas brewing at the moment. However, we're still not at the point where we can test these ideas inside the main game." http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/06/22/kingdom-hearts-3-may-feature-an-online-component?utm_source=IGN%20hub%20page&utm_medium=IGN%20(front%20page)&utm_content=5&utm_campaign=Blogroll Edited June 22, 2015 by Venocide 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'd be happy to see something like the Mirage Arena again. Playing it with friends was super fun on the PSP. I hope that's the kind of thing he wants to add. Except with the ability to play as any of the characters from the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyappatuhyakuchu Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 That's fantastic! Never found anybody near who had BBS on PSP for playing with me. X^3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 If it's like the multiplayer component from Birth By Sleep on the PSP then sure why not. Although I think most of us like the KH experience to be kept solely to the Single Player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post madbuk Posted June 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2015 Where's the dislike button for posts? They say it won't be tacked on, but it is. Kingdom Hearts is a single player experience. I don't want to have to be sat for tens of hours boosting MP instead of playing the actual game 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheYuriG Posted June 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) That doesn't seem good to me... Multiplayer on single-player exclusive games are always a bad thing in my eyes. Tomb Raider was slightly less enjoyable to me because of the tacked on MP mode. Would have been a better experience without that skippable adition. Edited June 22, 2015 by TheYuriG 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, dislike button = Alt+F4, or the little X in the upper right corner of your internet browser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to have to be sat for tens of hours boosting MP instead of playing the actual game I'm sure it will be a feature you can just ignore........ if you don't want the platinum Olympus Coliseum Tournament online??? Why not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I hope they make it Gears of war style. It would be awesome to see Riku cut open Terra's back with a chainsaw keyblade and then get married to Aqua. /s Edited June 22, 2015 by ZeroXOF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, dislike button = Alt+F4, or the little X in the upper right corner of your internet browser. The only way I can see KH MP working is if it's the command board, which would get old very quick. If you make it like the core gameplay, it'll come down to whoever has played the MP more and is the highest rank (and, as such, with the most abilities). MP wasn't needed in Tomb Raider, it wasn't needed in Uncharted, it wasn't needed in Bioshock, and it certainly isn't needed here. It will also open doors for them to spam us with terrible DLC (Such as the Uncharted 3 trophy list). What is the use in spending so much time developing an MP mode - which I doubt many people will play (Such as the Tomb Raider MP) past the first month or so - when in reality it'll just be taken offline in a few years? Single player is eternal, and all work should be put into making that the best experience possible. This applies to almost any game as well, in my opinion. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venocide Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I'm no fan of mulitplayer but I'm gonna wait and see what they have in store before I complain about it. Keep in mind guys that this might not happen. Edited June 22, 2015 by Venocide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's MP in Birth By Sleep, and it didn't interfere with the main campaign. But you already know about that stuff, do you? And serisouly? Spammed with DLC? If you don't want the DLC, then just don't buy it. 0_0 FFS. Some people are just constantly looking for something that doesn't affect them just to disagree with it. You guys are funny. :^) Edited June 22, 2015 by jeandeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrasticAutomatic Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I don't see why some people are complaining. We don't really know much about the game, but there could be a lot of potential with MP in Kingdom Hearts. Nobody thought The Last of Us suited multiplayer when the announced it, but it turned out to be a great addition. And if your complaining because you might have to boost the trophies... then don't? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, TLoU multiplayer was the least enjoyable part of the entire game (although I disliked the game in general) in my opinion. And if I don't get the trophies, the servers will eventually shut - thus negating all the (hopefully minimal) effort they put into this shit. If it'll be unplayable in a couple of years, what is even the point? Just, please Square Enix, have the decency to either: 1) Not add this at all (Best option) 2) Include a Botzone for every MP mode 3) If this turns out to be co-op, let us play it completely solo (i.e Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One). I'd be fine if one of these options is chosen, but I highly, highly, doubt any of them will be. Edited June 22, 2015 by madbuk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you assuming it's PvP multiplayer, when every other game in the series, that had multiplayer, had only coop? They had great multiplayer in both 358/2 and BBS. I don't understand the skepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they allow us to play it solo, I'll be stuck relying on other people to be good enough to make it through the mission/level. Gaming used to be all about your own skill, now we're stuck relying on others in a lot of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mournblade05143 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 i just don't understand this push for MP components to games. If it has MP and trophies tied to it, I most likely will pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot_rooney Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Dead Space 2 had multiplayer and the single player was still great. No one gives out about it though because it doesn't have multiplayer trophies. I loved the BioShock 2 multiplayer, many hours put into it, and the single player was still really good. My point is, it could actually turn out pretty good. But if your only problem with it is trophies, well, it shouldn't be, more to gaming than trophies my friends.

thegirlruka Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 no no no no no no no no no no NO! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! NOW!!! This would be the only thing that would make me avoid the game. The only multiplayer I would accept is something like in DDD where it isn't even really multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
