The large areas from Dream Drop Distance also translate very well to a larger screen due to a brand new camera that allows you full view of everything around Riku and Sora.ĭespite having over 100 hours clocked in on my copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D, I actually found it hard to adjust to playing Dream Drop Distance HD with the Dualshock 4 due to the buttons commands being remapped to match up with the standard controls for Kingdom Hearts in the west. The characters look smooth and crisp, allowing for all of the detailed texturing done to them to finally be fully appreciated. No longer is the game riddled with jagged edges caused by the low quality output on the Nintendo 3DS, instead feeling as though the game should have always been released on a home console. Immediately it is obvious from all of these different fragments of Dream Drop Distance that a considerable amount of work has been done to update the visuals in Dream Drop Distance HD. As Riku explores the city, it finally leads to Riku fighting off against a ton of enemy Dream Eaters.Īs Sora, players can explore the Fourth District of Traverse Town and fight against hordes of adorable Dream Eaters leading up to the boss battle against Hockomonkey in the Fifth District. After breaking out of the Games, Riku runs into Sam Flynn who tells him about an exit from the digital world they are trapped in. The demo starts right from the beginning of the world when Riku is captured by a Recognizer and forced to into the Games. In the second demo available for Riku, players are given access to the Grid from 2011’s TRON: Legacy. Players have full access to roam the outside courtyard and the interior of Notre Dame before rushing in to fight Wargoyle in the skies above the courtyard.

Riku arrives just as Quasimodo rescues Esmerelda from being executed by the ruthless, god-fearing Judge Frollo. La Cité des Cloches is based on Disney’s 1996 animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and begins with Riku in the courtyard outside of the Notre Dame Cathedral. The demo station for Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD had three different option to choose from: Riku - La Cité des Cloches, Riku - The Grid, and Sora - Traverse Town. Both Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep - A fragmentary passage - were available to play, so check out my impressions below: Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD A few weeks back ahead of E3, I was given the chance to try out Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue with my fellow staff member Mike at DisneyExaminer. Today marks the official start of E3 2016, which means endless news about all of the demos available on the showroom floor.
