2.5 HD Remix Gameplay Speculation

Assuming that a 2.5 HD Remix will be released, do you think there will be any small tweaks in the gameplay similar to how KH1 received changes? I haven't played BBS or 3D, but are there any minor mechanics from those games that could be brought over to KH2? Are there any changes you'd like to see that most likely won't happen? (i.e. nerfing drives, limits, reflect, etc).

Let's speculate :D

 

KH2 would probably benefit from using Birth by Sleep's Command Style system to replace the Drive menu. It might be difficult to do right, but it would definitely be more fun than scrolling through a menu and would encourage players to use more strategy than spamming Reflega and Limits. The Summon leveling system could also use an overhaul.

 

Oh dear god. That sounds terrible to me.
I don't want to use specific commands to temporarily use Valor Form. I just want to use it. This would make grinding Drive Abilities that much harder.
The Command Style system was only implemented to combat psp limitations in the first place

 

They better not. I didn't really like the strategy behind Birth by Sleep. Part of the reason KH2 is my favorite game of the series, and my favorite game of all time, was because of how simple and fun the gameplay is. KH1's gameplay was sort of generic and slow, where KH2's gameplay was fast and detailed, such as the cool combos. It wasn't anything like Re:Chain of Memories and BBS where it's all complex and strategic, it was simplistic.

If they exchange it, I'm sure as hell not buying it. I'll stick with my regular KH2FM.

In fact, if they make KH3 like BBS and DDD with the characters all close up and the unnecessary features and strategy, I'll be even more pissed. I've waited 8 years for KH3 hoping it to be better than KH2, but if it ends up like BBS and DDD (both of which I was very disappointed with the gameplay), I'll probably cry. :(

 

Yeah I hope future games in the series feel like KH2. It was just really smooth and the movement was fluid. The biggest thing I think needs to be improved is the combat...I'd suggest make attacking more complex than just mashing a button, incorporate magic to where it's necessary during fights but not overpowered, make countering enemy attacks more crucial, make Donald & Goofy more cooperative, and make the player have much faster reactions at high difficulty levels (proud/critical).

But for a simple HD Remix I wouldn't expect any major changes. Maybe some small things could be tweaked though. I'd like to see longer recovery after using reflect, damage tweaks on some attacks, etc.

 

I really doubt (and hope) they will do anything with KH2. The reason KH1 was updated was to be more like KH2's gameplay, so changing KH2 in any way would really serve no purpose, and since it has the best mechanics that KH has to offer right now, there's really nothing to change it to.
As for BBS, I think they will update the camera to be like KH2s where you can move it with he joystick, other than that I can't really think of anything they would change as far as the gameplay goes.

 

Well BBS did have a camera like KH2s but you had to hold L and move the stick.

 

I know, but it's completely useless during actual gameplay. You have to stand still to be able to use it, which completely defeats the purpose of having a better camera.[DOUBLEPOST=1363449057][/DOUBLEPOST]

yes, capes would be nice, that always bugged be.
However I'm not holding my breath for them, and if I didn't get them I wouldn't be too upset.

 

The only reason we didn't get the capes was because the PSP couldn't handle them.

 

I think they probably wont change anything in KH2FM, as stated before KH1 was changed to look alike KH2.
BBS could get a better camera also, but I don't think it will change it's gameplay to fit KH2, the new KH systeam is way better than the previous, even though i Kind miss the MP system, KH has evolved from that, so next games probably won't have it, or if they do they will have a mix system that incorporates thinghs from KH 2 gameplay + BBS.

I do hope we get better cutscenes in BBS, It was a shame that such beautiful video was made in the intro, and yet when we get in the Keyblade graveyard they did such lame video.. they could just show the intro again and we would understand it all and it would be way more beautiful. So only graphics improvement from BBS,

 

People would be confused because they would have capes and ven would have the keyblade in the other hand.

 

I don't see them adding much new to KH2, simply because this is more of a polishing and refurbishing of the series, not an extension. KH1 was updated to take some of the best improvements of KH2 and impliment them into the gameplay to improve it. To me, it doesn't really make sense for Square to change much. I see this more as trying to bring all the main story titles onto one platform, and bring a sense of continuity and fluidity to the series, which to me, adding more stuff they haven't done before on previous games does not fit in with that mentality. I could very well be wrong, but thats my opinion. And honestly, it's not like KH2 wasn't brilliant enough to start with.

If they impliment anything from the BBS battle system into KH2, so help me I will dropkick a small child off a bridge.

 

My apologies, I meant KH3. I didn't care for the BBS system because i thought the KH1 and KH2 battle system gave me more freedom during the games, my opinion.

 

If they were to give KH2 the BBS battle system they would have to completely restructure the gameplay from the ground up, it's not happening.

The likelihood that they are going to remake games again is very small. If they didn't make Days playable for the HD remix, then it's safe to say it won't be getting any playable remake ever.




Yeah, If KH3 has the battle system from recent games I will throw the biggest tantrum in the history of ever. That system of commands and decks does not belong on a full-fledged console numbered installment.
