So, who has played KH back in the PS2 days?

[BronzeHeart92]

Obviously I'm one of them and man do I have nostalgia... And to see it now on Steam of all places is honestly quite a miracle wouldn't you agree?

First time playing this game in a long while.

Still have my PS2 hooked up to the TV even if I hardly use it anymore.

For reals? The hype must've been unreal honestly. I myself only remember some Disney character and a random Wakka moment from those trailers.

Indeed. I re-purchased the set for PS4 but never got around to replaying them. Getting to play these games on a handheld after all these years is like a dream come true.

i played kh 1 and 2 on ps2, but i didnt own a ps 2 until 2019

[add]

not really a miracle, they're bare minimum ports by 2015 standards, definitely not up to 2024 standards though.

I brought it for the PS2, PS3, PS4, Epic Game Store, and Steam.

LMAO, between KH and GTA V - I have never rebrought a game this many times.

I played a bit of KH1 at a friend's house when I was a kid, loved it so much that I went to go buy it shortly after. I bought KH2 not realising it was the sequel that had just come out. I had no idea what was going on but it was still my favourite game and still one of my faves to this day. From that point, I have never played/watched a series outside of release order.

I preordered KH back in the day for PS2.. yeah I'm old, but I've been a fan since day 1! Loving these PC ports (so far)

[Mustachious]

It was mt first ps2 game, along with Parappa the Rapper 2 :) I actually played Parappa first because I knew I'd get too wrapped up in KH and not touch Parappa otherwise xD

[NamelessNP]

Played the original on PS2 and the first remaster on PS3

[KuroLionheart]

I remember a game store near my house was selling Kingdom Hearts 2 a week early back in '06 and me just skipping school for 3 days straight to just play that game nonstop. What a great game, still got that original copy as well.

I got KH1 from a random family gift for one of the holidays in 2003. I was like 12. Played it to death and have been a fan ever since. I was waiting in my local target for KH2 when it dropped in dec 2005, oh the memories. Aside from going back through these games with achieves for my steam account I also get to play through DDD for the first time as my N3DS died shortly after I bought the original.

I have played it, but it on one hand isn't exactly a miracle, console has been dying when it comes to exclusivity for a few years now, to the point PS5 has no exclusives, and PS4 at this point only has Bloodborne and that's probably only down to From Software being lazy with re-releases and being dumb with their unwillingness to port once-exclusive games. That or the exclusivity isn't timed and Sony is being silly as they always are.

Granted, console will always be better in countries like Brazil where you have to take out your 401K just to get a PC, or spend half a month's salary on a PS5/Xbox.

What is a miracle is that that game runs so well for so little Vram cost. Optimization is a lost art that almost nobody is any good at if you ignore Indie devs and even then, stuff's the toughest part of coding so not everyone is amazing at it even in the indie scene.

I know it runs well because it ran well enough for me to get 850 in Grandstander and I only got there not because of frame lag or stuttering like there would be in PCSX2 on the very odd occasion, but instead, it was my slip-up that cost me a much higher score (with the pace I was going at, it was probably going to be max score in probably 4-8 hours if I actually kept that pace going).
