He's being sarcastic...

it's not PSP, those screens are the wrong ratio of width:height .

lolz

 

[Bassoonist]

What?

So this is on the PSP? A shame. I'm not buying a PSP for this game. Too much money.

 

[Chill]

lolz

I'm doubting it's on the DS only because of the amount of cutscenes. CoM and DS games featuring cutscenes have only contained a few and with DS games they are usually showcased with both screens. It may very well be for the DS which is why I included that in the first post. Either way we should find out soon.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

weird, i don't think it's PS2, by the time it comes out they'll want huge games on the PS3, but those grahics look more PS2ish. In fact they look more like the first KH(sora's hair for one) though i'm not usre. so i think it's a handheld game(or it's on the wii , but i highly doubt that)

 

[Mky762]

is this before the 1st kingdom hearts, bc sora had that costume in the first one, also Traverse Town was gone in KH II, and why would mickey wear a costume that was in 2 but sora would wear the one from 1 and besides he looks younger, so if this is before 1 then it makes more sense, but if its KH III then that cant be it

 

[Chill]

The Sora is clearly the KH version but clothes Mickey is wearing don't appear until CoM. Plus the two never met until the end of KH not in Traverse Town.

So it's speculated that Mickey may have returned to Castle Oblivion and is viewing someone's memories.

Title: Kingdom Hearts Zero (rumored working title)
Platform: Rumored PSP (possibly DS or PS2)
Players: 1
Release: 19 years from now

Info comes V-Jump 11 scanning and images from the site these pics came from:
- This game seemingly features Roxas and Axel
- The Organization XIII meeting room can be seen in the scan
- Another screenshot shows Sora and Mickey in Traverse Town
- Subtitles read something like "The day the King and I were here..."
- This game will be part of a series (more than one game)
- None of this game will be a remake, it is 100% original

With TGS this month it's expected we'll learn more then. The only thing I have to say is I hope Roxas and Axel play a very,very,very,very small part.

that first screen looks alot from the first game just with mickey in it and sora with a new keyblade

you mean it's likely to be released on PS3 since PS2's life cycle is about to be gone, and since it's a title that's possibly under development then yea , but it sure would be cool if it were top be released on Wii, and also you mentioned DS? than that means Square-Enix and Nintendo would be working together which in this point in time is akward (but good so Sora could make it to Brawl lol..) also I heard this game is supposedly taking place way before the first game I may be wrong from looking at your screens, but in any case it sure will be tight since i'm a HUGE Kingdom Hearts fan but too bad this game won't be released maybe up in 19 years?!! you must be joking c'mon that's probably some joke made up and by then we would have ps5

 

[Chill]

Added some new stuff from TGS unfortunately it might be all we get for a long time.

I read the famitsu site but the language is a bit difficult. From what I could understand it sounds like the game may take place in a alteranate universe/timeline (the site says different view). Or due to the way Terra summons his keyblade looking awfully familar to the way Roxas did in the alternate twilight world, this may take place in some computer.

Leaked trailer. Watch it now.

If it's removed by the time you see this just search for "birth by sleep leaked trailer" and you can probably find it. In addition fansites like khinsider and khvids will probably have it. A better recording is expected soon.

 

[Ørion]

Nice trailer, I can't wait for this game.

 

[Zantetsu]

Just downloaded the FLV file of the video incase it gets removed.

Also, what happened with the game being card based like Chain of Memories? I read somewhere that it would be similar to that. Thank god the trailer proves that false =D

 

[SkylerOcon]

You know your images? Yeah. One and three are for Kingdom Hearts: Coded which is coming out for cellular phones (yes, you heard me, cell phones) late this year or early next year.

It will have full 3-D, voice acting, and a bunch of other stuff. It's for a phone that isn't out yet.

So um... yeah. Whoever told you that those were for BbS was wrong.

 

[Crimson King]

What is BbS?

So, wait, it's NOT for PSP? LAME! If this came out for PSP soon, all it would do is extend the PSP's domination in Japan, which has been going on for at least 2 months.

 

[Chill]

You know your images? Yeah. One and three are for Kingdom Hearts: Coded which is coming out for cellular phones (yes, you heard me, cell phones) late this year or early next year.

So um... yeah. Whoever told you that those were for BbS was wrong.

They aren't wrong. When I made this thread these were the only images we had at the time and we didn't know which games they were for.

CK, it is for the PSP. It's not expected to come out for some time though likely next year because Sqaure takes so long with their games.

 

[Autydragoon]

I've seen webpages on this game and the other two. If you search Kingdom Hearts series on Wikipedia a section of a page on the three appears. 358/2 days for the DS supposedly surrounds Roxas when he was a part of Organization XII.

 

[Chill]

Seeing as like 3 threads for this have been created I updated the OP with the newest trailer and info.

 

[Chill]

Updated with the most recent trailer, it's a whopping 7 minutes long!

No Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep For PSP Go Owners

http://kotaku.com/5623899/therell-be-no-kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-for-psp-go-owners

Amidst rumors that the latest entry in the Kingdom Hearts series, due for UMD release next month, would not see a digital release, blogger and Arizona Daily Star writer Phil Villarreal contacted Square Enix PR firm Ogilvy for a firm answer, and that answer is no, there are no plans to release Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep on the PlayStation Network, which is the only way PSP Go owners would be able to play it.

Oh Sony, nice way to treat those rare PSP Go owners.
