Top 5 Levels I Want in Kingdom Hearts III

Kingdom Hearts III's Release Date May Be Revealed Next Month

Over the weekend, Square Enix revealed Kingdom Hearts III would feature a world based on the hit movie Toy Story, and there was much rejoicing on the Internet. At long last, the game franchise known for including characters and levels from Disney movies would include one of the most memorable Disney movies of all time. This video got me thinking: what other Disney properties deserve levels in Kingdom Hearts III? So, I created a list of five Disney movies and television shows I want in the game. The list will not include properties such as Star Wars and Marvel, since those are only owned by Disney and not actually made by Disney. But, you can treat them as honorary seventh and sixth places. Also, no Studio Ghibli films; they are only distributed and/or theatrically released by Disney, so they don’t count either.

5. Mary Poppins

Despite Disney being synonymous with animation, the predominantly live-action Mary Poppins was successful and accrued a lot of staying power; just look at the Internet’s reaction to Yondu exclaiming, “I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!” in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. But why does Mary Poppins deserve to be in Kingdom Hearts III? Because the movie seamlessly makes the mundane coexist with the fantastical thanks to lessons about the importance of having fun and an imagination. The world of Mary Poppins would work well as a level where none of the characters know how to react to an invasion of Heartless (black and shadow-like beings that take new forms every game), let alone the sight of anime-boy Sora killing them with an oversized key. Mary Poppins characters could provide a much-needed respite from the unrealistic reactions from past Kingdom Hearts games.

4. 101 Dalmatians

Longtime Kingdom Hearts fans probably have less-than-fond memories of the 99 Dalmatians side-quest that tasked them with scouring the game for hidden treasure chests that contained lost dalmatian puppies. 101 Dalmatians deserves to be remembered for something other than a textbook example of how not to design a quest, so why not a new game world? Cruella de Vil’s obsessive and sociopathic personality would gel with the personalities of other Kingdom Hearts villains. Furthermore, since Kingdom Hearts III’s new game engine can render large, expansive levels (at least compared to previous Kingdom Hearts games), a boss battle where players have to chase after Cruella — and her a speeding Heartless car — would make for quite the spectacle.

3. Kim Possible

Disney does not create many spy-themed shows and movies. Kim Possible is one of Disney’s few, if only, good spy-themed shows. Thanks to extremely clever writing and memorable characters, Kim Possible parodies and honors its source materials. Furthermore, the show is no slouch when it comes to action and is extremely funny. A Kim Possible level could easily be one of Kingdom Heart’s III’s most memorable levels if the show’s writers help create the script.

2. Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls is one of the best shows Disney ever produced; it might be light on action, but the comedy (that borders on mature), characters, and story are all top-notch. Gravity Falls is proof that the best kids shows are the ones both children and their parents can enjoy. Plus, Gravity Falls seems custom made for Kingdom Hearts III, since several characters in the show have experience traveling to other worlds, much like Sora and other Kingdom Hearts characters. Furthermore, in the series finale, main antagonist Bill Cipher‘s final words (spoilers) invoked the power of Axolotl (which, according to a book of questionable canonicity, is a giant, talking axolotl), so he could eventually return. Bill’s resurrection in Kingdom Hearts III would make a ton of sense. Besides, who wouldn’t want to smack that psychotic Illuminati mascot upside the eye in an epic boss battle?

1. Gargoyles

Back in the 90s, when Disney shows were almost exclusively episodic comedies that featured characters from existing Disney franchises, Gargoyles set itself apart with its unique world, action/drama-centric story arcs, and dark atmosphere. The show was Disney’s answer to Batman: The Animated Series and is fondly remembered even today. Fans have downright begged Disney for a live-action movie adaptation of the show, but the company has not done anything with the IP in decades. Take it from someone who watched the show: Gargoyleis perfect for Kingdom Hearts III, especially since the game could potentially render a large cityscape for players to explore. Just thinking about it gets me excited.

 

So, what Disney properties do you think should be in Kingdom Hearts III? Comment down below.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.

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
