    Just to clarify: I'm not demanding that remakes need to happen or that we should get them OVER KH4 or new side games. I don't want that!
    This was just a topic I thought would be interesting to discuss. It was just for fun.
    I'm also not suggesting drastic remakes or a reboot either.
    Since the games are getting older, I just thought it was something worth considering.

  • @TrevortheTrainFan

    No, because they’re perfectly fine on their own! In fact, they have aged so well! We don’t need any remakes of past KH games except maybe 358/2 Days and Re: Coded. Besides, I’d rather have a brand new installment like KH4 and Missing-Link.

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      I definitely agree, and a lot of this ended up being targeted at KH1 anyways lol.
      But It's still so good, and KH2FM is like still shockingly great. I haven't played it as much, but it undeniably plays better.
      I would be happy if KH1 was at least reworked to be more like KH2.
      Days and Recoded absolutely need to be remade, though, hahaha.
      But any remakes I would only want AFTER ML and KH4, I don't need them right now lol.

      @@smugaru The reason I think 358/2 Days and Re: Coded should be remade as playable games is just so that modern audiences can get a chance to play them. That way, they won't need to buy an old Nintendo DS.

      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @TrevortheTrainFan The stories I feel are less compelling when condensed to just the cutscnes. Recoded really suffered from it.
      I'd argue it becomes almost skippable with just the cutscenes, while the actual game is a must play lol

    They’ve re-packaged, upscaled, and brought the games to so many platforms over the years. And every time they do, they’re saying “This is the definitive way to play the game.” With how long games are taking to develop, I think they’d rather spend their time and resources moving the story forward rather than retracing familiar territory.
    And even if they did feel like revisiting the past, they should remake 358/2 Days, not KH1 or KH2.

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Very fair, and I would agree on that.
      The remasters have done a lot to make them last, and they're still great to look at and play.

    Maybe a Remake isn't needed quite yet but a remaster update that removes the fish faces and adds Ven's heart into the Sora's sacrifice scene would be a great.

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Fish face Sora I love that! I always called him monkey face Sora lmao 💀💀
      If they could improve the graphics so that the whole game was of the level of the pre-rendered, in-engine cutscenes, that would be awesome.
      The transitions from cutscene to gameplay in KH3 were so good, and I'd love to have that be a part of the OGs.
      Adding Ven's heart in the sacrifice scene is really interesting!
      I hadn't even considered that. There are definitely a lot of very subtle details that they could add to help foreshadow events. That would be really cool!

    I'd say it needs a quality of life overhaul. I'm not a diehard fan but really like the story and recently played the first 2 and it was mentally exhausting with the lack of basic modern conveniences like a basic functional map or an icon of where to go. I can deal with the graphics but for me personally I think it needs to be a bit more user friendly.

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yeah, like they wouldn't need to be drastic remakes. Ideally just like adding a few modern conveniences like you said; take advantage of current day tech to improve on a few areas.
      KH 1 & 2 still hold up, but they can be kind of vague and inconvenient at times

      @@airbrushking9813 What else about them is proving frustrating for you? KH1 can definitely be a little slow and vague, especially with navigating or explaining mechanics.
      I feel like KH2 added a lot more cool combat mechanics that make it really satisfying, but it doesn't intuitively explain or encourage you to take advantage of all of its systems. The vagueness from KH1 is still kind of there lol
      KH3 is the easiest to just get up and get going, (which is why it's the one I've started the most so far) they mitigated a lot of the early grind. It's a lot more accessible, but doesn't feel as tactful, I guess?

    I vote they make the DS games playable on modern hardware instead. Then they will have it where you're able to play the entire series on one console! But I'm actually doing another playthrough of the first game currently and am almost finished with it. I say, the first game could benefit from a remake simply because a remake could possibly allow us to pet the Dalmatians!

    I don't mean adding shotlocks to kh1 but to have the combat be styled and as fluid as each other so that the extra features like attractions and shotlocks feel like additions instead of a play style change.

    I would love it, I would buy it, I just think they should update the controls and platforming physics. But I can’t help but feel that they would butcher the art style. There’s a very particular charm to those games that honestly the art direction of KHIII was just completely lacking. But I would also love a way to play the games with the Japanese va. I wouldn’t want them to update the gameplay at all, except maybe the shortcut expansion yeah. Although an abilities menu ala FFVII Remake for a lot of those triangle button actions would be cool.

      The art style is absolutely a concern for me, too. I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one a bit put off by the way KH3 looks. I mean, it's graphically very impressive, but it also very much looks like "KH in Unreal Engine" rather than resembling the traditional style haha.
      If they could make it so that a remake just looked like the pre-rendered, in-engine cutscenes throughout the whole game, that would be sick.
      I was super impressed with the transitions from cutscene to gameplay in KH3, and having that be possible for 1 and 2 would be nice.
      Also, I definitely like the idea of them being called Final Remix 👍

    Remakes can be anything from engine/graphics upgrades to gameplay improvements to environment design, difficulty and pacing adjustment and even story changes.
    Simply said every old good game or worthwhile IP deserves a shot at a remake. Only people that would object to this are either people that dont understand the concept of what a remake means on a case by case basis, or those who are super fans/retro fans and cant handle any change nor separate two things as isolated entities. Aka even if the remake sucks it doesnt touch the OG. These people are mentally incapable of that.

      I'm only even considering the possibility of remakes because I really like these games and they hold sentimental value to me. They are worth it! Worth being enjoyed and to not have people turn their nose up at them because of old ideas or technical limitations.

      @@smugaru Honestly I think even the FF7R example is moot. It's really not as bad as people make it sound to be. But my suspicion is that allot of people that happen to like games also really.. really struggle with the prospect of change.
      Not all mind you, I think a majority of players really enjoy trying new things and old games getting a new remaking. But a part of the playerbase really struggles with this concept mentally.
      Even if the remake fails in the eyes of the individual and changes to much for the worse. It shouldn't matter because said person was already against a remake and preferred them not even attempting it. Therefor the old thing was always going to be the version they prefer. Again it's a mental and emotional thing. They can't separate it. Even though not attempting a remake and the remake sucking amounts to the same thing. That they don't end up playing the remake.
      And I personally also love remakes. Sure the retro games are fun. But I don't enjoy playing those on a big screen. I have ways to play those on my phone or a handheld device. But I love the old titles and if they get remade with high fidelity and proper modern gameplay. It's great to play these things on the big screen.
      Again I think this has nothing to do with FF7R being the reason people are scared. Those games are great remakes imo. Some segment of the gaming population just struggle with this sort of thing. They probably also struggle with this outside of gaming lmao. We just never hear about that and just read the angry comments when a remake is announced/released and they hate it.

    I’m personally tired of remakes. Yes, they iron out the rough edges of the originals. But isn’t that why we love the series? Plus we’ve technically already gotten remakes of the first game. CoM, Re:Coded, and 358 to an extent.
    I’d much rather have some spiritual successors than remakes or sequels. Taking the aspects of what you enjoy from the original and building on them and\ putting a fun spin on it. Like Jack Skeleton, but with less disastrous results

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree. A part of the charm is the rough edges, and the remasters have done a lot to help them last so long.
      It's still interesting to consider, I think lol.
      I do think Days and Recoded would benefit from proper remakes though. The cutscenes alone do a bit of a disservice haha.
      Spiritual successors are a really interesting thought, though 🤔 👀

  • @joyhappiness
    @joyhappiness 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    No. they'd destroy both 1 and 2. we need remakes of Days and Coded before anything else gets remade. but even THEN, we dont need remakes of any of the other games (except BBS and DDD to give them proper physics? lol)

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ya knooooww... a BBS remake would be nice, cause... I got very strong feelings about that game lol💀😂
      But yeah, I would rather see Days and Recoded get proper remakes, finally.
      Only after we've got KH4 and gotten to see what else they have planned for this new phase would I even want to seriously consider Remakes of 1 & 2.
      I am worried that they'd botch it. I don't think they need drastic remakes, just a little smoothing out with quality-of-life improvements.

  • @jadoncurtis1808
    @jadoncurtis1808 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I feel like if you take your nostalgia goggles off kh1 can use a remake it holds up good compared to most ps2 games but is still dated in a lot of aspects. Clunky controls, unintuitive camera, lack of maps, weird platforming just to name a few would probably make it harder for a kid and most modern gamers from getting into it. But if they did a kh2 remake it should be more faithful to the og game. Essentially just kh2 but make it look and feel like a ps5 games. Maybe more interesting areas to walk around would be nice though instead of empty spacious combat room. But im open to the idea of remakes

    • @smugaru
      @smugaru  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, like the dated aspects are definitely a part of the charm, but at least with KH1, it could use some tweaks.
      I don't think they need to be drastic remakes because the remasters have held up so amazingly well.
      I think at least reworking KH1 to be more like 2FM while both games being able to maintain the graphical fidelity of like, the pre-rendered in-engine cutscenes throughout the game would be awesome.
      I loved how seamless the transitions from in-engine cutscenes to gameplay in KH3 were, and if we could get that with 1 & 2? 👀😍

Now that it's on Steam fans will really be able to mod the f*** out of it and modders will be even more motivated to make mods now that people are going to play the collection now since no one wanted to buy the EGS version unless they were desperate.
