It's been 10 years and this is still the greatest video game opening of all time. Can this ever be topped?
>>337619339
>kh2
kh1 intro and gameplay + story is far better
>>337619339
man
will kh3 have a song from hikaru?
tune just fits the game
>>337619398
>KH1 gameplay is far better
story sure, intro is debatable, but nigger you can't say KH1's gameplay was better
>>337619497
imo it is, its a bit slower, sure, but its not overloaded with "press triangle to do freaky moves" and overly colorful flashy moves
you might say it's pretty... simple and clean :^)
>tells me nothing about the game
>no gameplay whatsoever
>trashy J-pop
>>337619398
i preferred kh2 gameplay
>>337619339
Simple and Clean is a better song.
THIS is the greatest opening in vidya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gaMKbv-xHU
>>337619398
2 has better gameplay
>>337619339
>yfw when the bass kicks in
fucking goose bumps mang
>>337619339
i fucking HOPE KH3 will have a song from the same woman wo did kh1 and 2 intros
>>337619575
>Wanting gameplay in an intro
>>337619609
>THIS is the greatest opening in vidya
shitty generic weeabo intro with shitty generic weeabo "rock" music
>>337619817
>wanting your game to be a movie
>>337619473
She actually just came back after having her last kid and posted some demo clips on youtube if you check her channel.
Everyone knows the best video game opening is Chrono Cross.
Openings we like thread?

really?
neat!
any news on her being invested in kh3?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZPsjy76TBo
How will they top this, for 3?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5pYCw4ET4
>>337619919
>wanting your movies to be a game
Not even close.

>>337619473
We don't know. Her father said a couple years ago she would return but then she said she's undecided. Disney is being cheap as fuck.
If Utada is not in Kingdom Hearts 3 then it's dead on arrival. It's not even up for debate. It could be the most fun game ever made but if Utada isn't singing the opening then it's automatically shit.
>>337619556
If the jumping mechanics were fixed then I'd say yes. KH1also just feels really sluggish. "Press triangle" to do everything got annoying.
>>337619990
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5rIpOmuD7U
holy FUCK
>no accent
>fucking BEAUTIFUL english singing voice
>>337620068
My nigga, DDD is the best intro in the series
>>337620157
>If Utada is not in Kingdom Hearts 3 then it's dead on arrival.
pretty much yeah
>reminder that kh3 is going to be god awfull osaka team trash
I'm so mad.
>>337619339
>When it got remixed to a superior version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7etWq9RGImQ
>>337619575
>tells me nothing about the game
The intro recaps what happened in KH 1 and Chain of Memories though so it does tell you what's going on
>>337620127
>Wanting your game to be based on a movie based on a game.
>>337620161
>KH1also just feels really sluggish.
it did, but imo that gave everything a little bit weight
also, the story isnt as retarded as in kh2
kh1 had something about friendship and light and dark
kh2 went all overboard with, like, everything and forgot the whole friendship stuff
>>337620310
Lil b can fuck my bitch
>>337620145
Chrono Cross is that game that I really want to like. I really do...
But yeah, the intro is good.
>>337620163

It took itself a little too seriously. That's why I liked Chain of Memories. It felt like a good compromise of both aspects.
>>337620310
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P6-V7J5S-0
Superior Square Enix sample
>>337620458
FUCK YEAH
ff8 is my fav
and the intro was fucking cool
The best vidya opening of all time is either
MGS2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvEDSkK3GQU
or this: >>337620119
It's not a contest for me really. They both work really well for their game and are just nice to watch.
Forever the best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVNFSFqGmL4
>>337620412
It's not a particularly likable game. It's one of my all-time favorites but I completely recognize that it's a letdown on many levels.
>>337620458
first FF with actual, visible blood
and only FF if i recall
>>337619575

C'mon man, it tells you everything about the game.
I beat kingdom hearts 2 about 2 weeks ago. Pretty amazing game, now am trying to get the ultima keyblade and am on level 75 in the game.

She is PERFECT
>you will never marry Utada and have a beautiful family with her
Why am I even alive?
>>337619609
>Simple and Clean is a better song
A better song than what? Passion/Sanctuary?
Sanctuary got sampled by a rapper, did Simple and Clean? No, it didn't.
>>337620858
yeah mang
fucking hearing her sing in english is a blessing mang
I personally loved this one and the normal Persona 3 intro as well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Htk5_0pgFo
>>337620163
what a goddess
>>337620920
>Sanctuary got sampled by a rapper,
huh?
a good one?
>>337621109
French Montana. He's alright.
It's such sadness that they got the clean aesthetic from the openings right once in the KH3 gameplay footages and then completely ruined it. Sanctuary still looks so fucking good.
>>337621224
aint no one gonna come close to hikaru though
Not even the best Kingdom Hearts opening. I cannot wait to see it in 2.8
https://youtu.be/BzZ0uRZnLos
>>337621291
>t's such sadness that they got the clean aesthetic from the openings right once in the KH3 gameplay footages
which one
>>337621224
french montana is shit
>No Snake Eater
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
The Suikoden 3 intro has always been a favorite of mine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEf-OI4pHB4
>>337620310
jesus CHRIST
this has got my ears bleeding
what is this shitty remix of a 10/10 song man
>>337621390
Now that I think of it, the teaser's gameplay was obviously prerrendered, so nothing at all, I guess.
>>337620163
Man, there used to be a video on YT of her singing the japanese version from a concert in her Utada United tour, and it was one of the most breathtaking performances I've ever seen. Sanctuary/Passion is pretty good, but when Utada sings Hikari/Simple & Clean, all bets are off. It's beyond beautiful.
>>337620068
so
for anyone who has only played kh 1 and 2
whats the story so far?
so much shit has happened
>>337621612
jup
its 10/10

SHE BELONGS TO THE DARKNESS NOW!
some pretty good opening i seen, but here is the best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg4Et6xQkX8
>>337620492
>>337620310
what the FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?!?!?
>>337621740
You're in for a fucking ride: the last game just got to the point it's going into the keyholders' subconcious to access sleeping worlds as a manner of testing their abilities and the reiterationS of Xehanort fucks shit up in a hyperholy trinity. It's out of control.
>>337619398
Nah. No game will generate as much hype AND deliver 100% like KH2 did.
DON'T GO
>>337621986
DUAL WIELD!
>>337622102
You don't remember the original trailer of KH they used to put at the beginning of Disney's VHSs, right? THAT was motherfucking hype.
>>337622085
fucking
what?
i...what?
jesus christ, i could barely follow the plot in kh2
what was SE thinking
>everyone forgetting how GOAT the skate intros are
https://youtu.be/r1G7DHW0xms
>>337622216
this
>>337622102
KH1 had a whole lotta hype too if not more than kh2
>There was a storyboard for a Kingdom Hearts cartoon/OVA-like and the pilot episode was well received.
>Nothing ever since
There could have been a good Disney show from it and it would be glorious
>>337622216
>>337622357
I judging based on first putting the disc into the PS2. Trailers can only get me a little excited, but KH2 had me ecstatic when I opened the box and saw this intro. KH1 didn't do this for me because I didn't really know what I was getting into.
>>337620920
One of the songs during the Xenmas final fight is sampled by rapper J Cole. He's actually one of the best rappers out today and universally loved
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7sQNhQsv1M
There's actually a few rappers who sample Kingdom Hearts music in there songs
>>337622276Xigbar: But I am already half Xehanort
Sora: That's nuts
>>337620068
Simple answer, they probably can't.
DDD is sorta cheating since it was made for the 10th anniversary of the series, with so many nods to the entire series. my favorite bit was the reference to the trailer for KH1 where he uses a summon at the end (Bambi I think?)
>>337621986
SHE DOESN'T NEED THE LIGHT
>>337622523
oh welp
guess i'll just stick to the kh1 story and think of kh2 as some sort of side plot or whatever
jesus
>>337622276
To be honest, it's not the first time KH deals with that "living worlds are inside the mind" thing, you just missed it.
You should get to play Chain of Memories if you wanna get into the more abstract/ridiculous Kingdom Hearts. GBA is the best version.
>>337622521
That sounds pretty good. I love it when sample artists can actually create good new music with another songs.
>>337620031
>Rockman X4
Holy shit,been a fuckton a time.I need to watch the rockman and X openings again.
Funny how in X4 opening everything is happy and shit,wheneveryone dies or is a dick in the game
>>337622692
nah, i'll just leave it be at kh1 and 2 and wait for 3
>>337622862
>>337622521
its still rap
and imo doesnt fit the whole electronic vibe original
>>337622621
That was in DDD so kh2 is safe
>>337622985
That's the idea of sampling man. It's not singing over the original song, but transforming it and creating something new.
That's why Daft Punk are so fucking good, while Kanye West is so fucking bad.
>>337622896
You're not going to get shit and CoM is actually nearer to KH1's writing than KH2 ever was, I'm being totally serious. KH2 is when the story started going awry.
It's also actually a great game.

>>337620163
I really wish she had done an english version of Sakura Nagashi
>>337619339
I think Dream Drop Distance has the award for best opening, but that's a good one too
not an intro but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3yngLPkA2U
i really liked the whole theme which ff8 had going for itself
really mature and all
>>337619339
>It's been 10 years
>>337623532
i stil lremember how i recorded the video from kh1 on a shitty cam and the audio with an old as fuck mp3 player
just so i could listen and watch the video everytime i wanted to
those were the times
>>337622278
Huh, it's got the same theme as Superjail.
>>337619398
The story is so linear it's probably the least canon of all the KH games.
And the gameplay is way too sluggish to be considered better than 2. Sure on its own it's fine, but when you compare it to the sequel, it plays like absolute garbage in comparison, and the "press triangle to win" gag is extremely exaggerated.
>>337621825
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUvaDlQiJ5s
>>337623606
Dude, I did the exact same thing with KH 2's intro and that was the hypest thing ever
I wish I could feel this again
>>337623839
>probably the least canon of all the KH games.

nowadays you've got the possibility to listen to the tune whenever you want
>>337624175
It was shown way too early. Should of honestly came out this year.
>>337624219
>this post
>>337624175
I got a good feeling we'll get it next year, I'm hoping for a "coming 2017" at the end of a KH3 trailer at E3 next month
>>337624336
But then people would be bitching where is KH 3? Nomura said he revealed it at E3 2013 so people can stop asking about KH 3 and he later revealed that was a mistake
>>337624419
huh?
Mega Man 8 has a fucking great opening.

>>337624492
I don't buy his lies, 1 game a year my ass. 2018 at the EARLIEST, 2019 realistically. Don't forget FF7 Remake is a thing
>>337620068
>>337623349
I think Dream Drop Distance would have been better if there was singing. The visuals are amazing but it just feels incomplete without Utada singing
>>337624979
Nomura's actually pretty honest. And he has kept his word about 1 KH game a year
2009 - Days
2010 - Birth by Sleep
2011 - Re:Coded
2012 - Dream Drop Distance
2013 - KH 1.5
2014 - KH 2.5
2015 - Unchained X (Japan)
2016 - Unchained X (America) & KH 2.8
KH 3 should be next year

I played the game for 1 day, and uninstalled it. And please, the McGuffin book is probably the stupidest plot points ever.
