Kingdom Hearts III

Kingdom Hearts III has been in development for quite some time and fans of the series are starved for some new details on the game. Something new has emerged during the E3 2015 and some other details have also been confirmed in a new interview with Tetsuya Nomura published on the latest issue of Dengeki magazine.

According to the Kingdom Hearts III director, the new game will not feature Reaction Commands as in previous entries of the series. Mr. Nomura confirmed that the commands have been removed from boss battles so to make everything more challenging, with all actions being based on timing.

When KINGDOM HEARTS III was presented at E3 2013, there was tremendous excitement. This E3, it looks like KINGDOM HEARTS III has been making several updates.

In regards to supplementing the gameplay, we have removed the Reaction Commands in KINGDOM HEARTS III. QTE (Quick Time Event. Actions that execute at the touch of a button according to when it displays on screen) isn’t there anymore. For people who have seen the “flashy” battles in KINGDOM HEARTS II, it felt like there were too many of them when doing these operations.

Are there no longer Reaction Commands in boss battles?

That’s right. While removing the elements of QTE in KINGDOM HEARTS III, being referred to as flashy battles, we are making it more challenging. All actions will be based on good or favorable timing.

Tetsuya Nomura has also confirmed that Kingdom Hearts III will features a lot of minigames. Production of this minigames has already started and several are in a state that can be played alone.

The new Dengeki interview also covers the Final Fantasy VII Remake, with Tetsuya Nomura talking about when development started and more. You can check out the full interview translated in English by going here.

Kingdom Hearts III has been officially revealed during the E3 2013 with a new trailer. The game will feature new and familiar worlds based on Disney properties like previous entries of the series, such as words based on Tangled, Hercules and others as well as several new gameplay features that have yet to be detailed in full.

Kingdom Hearts III will be set right after the Nintendo 3DS Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and will star Sora, Donald and Goofy as they search for the sevend guardians of light and the Key to Return Kearts in order to stop Xehanort’s plans. The game will be the final chapter of the Dark Seeker saga so we should expect some really exciting story developments.

Kingdom Hearts III is currently in development for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and a final release date for all regions has yet to be confirmed. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
