Fans of the Kingdom Hearts titles are used to waiting extremely long times between mainline releases.
Kingdom Hearts Fans Think The First Game Doesn't Need A Remake
14.04.2024 - 02:07 / thegamer.com
Kingdom Hearts fans are discussing whether the first game in the series deserves a remake or not, but it seems that most people don't think it even needs one.
Over the past few console generations, we've seen a ton of classic games getting remakes from more ambitious reimaginings like Final Fantasy 7 Remake to more traditional retellings with snazzier graphics like Dead Space. It seems the industry is only going to go further with remaking old games and bringing them into a new generation, and there's one series that is often discussed when it comes to potential remakes.
Unlike Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts has strangely stayed far away from remakes so far, and has instead remastered almost all of the games in the series to make them playable on modern consoles. With the first Kingdom Hearts now being more than 20 years old and some games getting remakes and remasters despite being much younger, some fans are wondering if we'll ever see the first game remade.
With how many remakes we're seeing in this console generation, you might think that Kingdom Hearts fans are jumping at the idea of the first game getting polished up and redone, but that's actually not the case at all. Over on the Kingdom Hearts subreddit, Redditor LafterMastr shared a post asking fans if they think that Kingdom Hearts deserves a remake or not.
As of the time of writing, the most popular comment on the thread is from Redditor marauder_squad, who simply says, "It does not need one". That comment has nearly as many upvotes as the thread itself, which should show that the majority of Kingdom Hearts fans agree that it'd be a little pointless to remake a stylised game that has aged so well.
Although I don't want a remake of the first Kingdom Hearts either, I would love to see 358/2 Days remade so that it's not just a cutscene compilation in the ReMixes.
Several Redditors also point out the fact that a Kingdom Hearts remake would also have to remove Deep Jungle from the game, as the rights to Tarzan are a total mess and are the reason it hasn't appeared as a world in the series since. Deep Jungle might be controversial, but it's a good point as to why Kingdom Hearts doesn't need a remake.
Although some fans argue that the first Kingdom Hearts does deserve a remake and could benefit from it in a few ways, the overruling opinion is that it doesn't need one and that it might lose some of the magic that made it special. We've already been waiting long enough for Kingdom Hearts 4, let's not delay that

Xbox Game Pass Users, Play These Six Games Before They Leave On April 30
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience. While that might sound like a bad deal, it makes sense given the already massive catalog on offer and users can still pick up the departing games for a discount before they eventually leave.

The Fallout Game You Need to Play While You Wait for Season 2
Of Fallout’s narrative high notes, the peak is arguably Fallout: New Vegas, the much-loved installment set in post-apocalyptic Vegas and crafted by Obsidian Entertainment, members of which have shepherded the Fallout aesthetic all the way from the Wasteland games to the Outer Worlds. And although Obsidian were fated never to helm another mainline Fallout game, they did get to revisit the universe four times before being ripped away by cruel reality. It’s those four twists on the formula, those four adventures into the unknown, that we’re here to celebrate today. At the height of their storytelling powers, Obsidian gave us some of the best sci-fi in games with the four Fallout: New Vegas add-ons: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road. Each veered sharply away from the standard Fallout formula in its own different direction, while simultaneously painting in the secret overstory of the New Vegas universe and the player character, the Courier.
