Title: New Zone of the Enders game coming
Post by: Takao on May 25, 2012, 08:48:21 AM
I stole this from Duckroll because I don't know the Japanese:

(http://i.imgur.com/5AMNz.jpg)

- Enders Project is a sequel to Anubis.
- It is not a futuristic setting, but instead set in an ancient civilization.
- The screen shown was a rendering in the Fox Engine.

:bow KojiPro :bow2

Because it's on Fox Engine expect it on basically every platform that doesn't have a Nintendo badge on it.

Also announced at this event was Konami's dislike of making money.

If Kojima were to ever leave Konami the latter will likely exit the traditional video game business. Silent Hill is  :lol, PES is in a near death spiral, and they can't even make new Yu-Gi-Oh! games anymore.

Suda51 would like to have a word with you. None of his studio's games outside of the first NMH have sold well, he gets credited for other people's work, values style above all else (though one can argue the same with Kojima), and still gets support from huge publishers.

Man, the news article about how Konami is getting sued because they couldn't even afford to pay back a 14 million loan to City Bank.... :'(


When even the Metal Gear company can't afford to make Metal Gear games anymore...they are so fucked (as if they hadn't been this whole generation already).


I think the only way ZoE3 could get made is if they co-funded it with another publisher, outsourced it to a shitty cheap western dev, or Kojima makes it in secret by stealing money from all the remaining cash at Konami that is going into MGS5 production.  I'd love a ZoE3, but Konami cannot do an in-house big budget HD action game that is not MGS; they just don't have the money.

Kojima really should buy the ZoE IP from Konami and leave Konami to a more successful publisher where he can make an original IP and ZoE3.

The HD collection looks pretty awesome, but 720p no AA on the screens makes me worried about who is doing the remaster.  Bluepoint hasn't said they are doing it yet, and Kojima says it's not being done in-house.  Could still be Bluepoint (fingers crossed), or it could be someone sucky.  But if it was Bluepoint I would have expected 4x AA since they've done that on all the remasters they've done to make them look smooth and clean.

is that based on the recent pictures? hopefully that's not final.  I worry for the Vita versions then.  Supposedly the MGS HD collection on Vita isn't the best, and MGS3 is back to 30fps, but it might just be speculation.

Really sad too because ZoE2's 5 hour length is the exact battery life of the Vita and the length of many plane trips -takeoff/landing.  Would make an great flight to chill back and playthrough ZoE2 in its entirety and then be at your destination!

Makes me a little nervous though about the Vita.  I was really hoping it could handle PS2 games at 1:1 perfect conversion; but if they're having trouble running ZoE2 on it...Eh, it's probably just the devs since they seem to be having as much trouble running it on PS3.  I REALLY REALLY HOPE the rumor that ZoE 1&2 HD is being done by the team that did Silent Hill 1 & 2 HD is wrong, but man 720p & no AA is getting me nervous.
Title: Re: New Zone of the Enders game coming
Post by: Owl-faced Wizard on May 25, 2012, 09:54:17 PM
ZoE2 really played to the strengths of the kinda-weirdy PS2 tho.  A port would be possible - just really hard and requiring some pretty swish software engineering so probably not worth it given the budget/sales potential.

It's possible, but the Vita version seems to have disappeared.  The PS3 box doesn't have the transferring logo like it was supposed to.

this series is one of those series that i don't get the hype for.

zoe1 was average and the only good thing about it was the mgs2 demo. zoe2, slightly above average but still mostly average.

why do people care so much? you've got one crap game, and one decent game in like a 10 year time span. who cares.

ZOE2 was nothing but flash and style with very little substance, and was like 4 hours long.
Title: Re: New Zone of the Enders game coming
Post by: brob on May 26, 2012, 10:27:26 AM
zoe2 is pretty good, but it really felt like it could be better. Which is why a sequel is a very interesting prospect. Of course this is assuming Konami/Kojipro is capable of successfully iterating on zoe2...

The best 3d action games (NG1/2, DMC1/3, God Hand, Bayonetta) average on 8-12 hours or more. Your point seems really weird.

Devil May Cry games usually has a fair bit of filler. I seem to remember God Hand being shorter than 8 hours, but I might be wrong. Regardless, when I said best action games I wasn't thinking specifically of 3D ones. Castlevania x68k is about an hour long for instance.

Well, Castlevania is a 2d game. I have different expectations and wants when it comes to 3d action and 4 hours, unless it's HIGHLY replayable, ain't cuttin' it.

Sure, a sequel could be interesting. But the point is, you have all of this hype and hoopla over one crap game, and one semi-decent one. I don't get it.
Title: Re: New Zone of the Enders game coming
Post by: brob on May 26, 2012, 11:23:26 AM
I'd say zoe2 is at least decent, but you have to factor in kojima's name being tied to it, which is a great way to wet panties and whet penises from from the lowest gamefaqs basements to the highest neogaf ivory towers.

this.  zoe2 let you feel like you were inside some god-like animu robot that could smash the shit out of everything.  it had great controls, good graphics/sound, some really awesome scenarios (tho this was the area that needed the most improvement), and a fun mission mode a la mgs.  it was definitely wasn't perfect but it was still a really fun game.  i'd love to see konami take another shot at it, but i doubt they have the same level of talent around anymore.

yeah, the final boss fight is great.  It's like that MMX fight with Vile, only you're forced to run away instead of waiting.

I liked ZoE1.  Back when it came out it didn't have a good rep outside of the absurdly good visuals and MGS2 demo.  I bought it because it's a mech game; I bought my PS2 for Armored Core 2.  But yeah, it's a simple game.  ZoE2 took what was there and made a fully realized, exceptional action game with it.

the part at 2:18 made me lose my shit when I first saw the trailer.  The game has such cool weapons.  Zero shift is so satisfying to use and you have stuff like:

I don't see how that makes me a pussy. Space drama is few and far between these days. I'm a sci-fi nerd, not a mecha nerd. Also, though I like mecha, I am a gamer first and foremost, and I'll judge the game on its own gameplay mechanics and merits even if it has a subject matter I like.

I'm not getting involved in this argument because Himuro is wrong and I don't want to fight him about it.

I'll rent this collection... I hate these collections with 2 games.

3 should be a requirement to be a "collection" - Jak and Daxter, Sly, Ratchet, Metal Gear, DMC...

i don't think zone of the enders,zone of the enders 2 and the metal gear solid 2 demo would have made for a good collection

ZOE2 is not "rare as fuck"

Maybe it got a reprint... but no, it's not pricey by any means.

Oh, it's a lot better than it was a few years ago.

There was a ZOE2 reprint not too long ago, yeah. I'd get this collection for $20 maybe. I remember playing ZOE, getting thte end credits to roll, and then thinking 'the hell is this?'. Game just started to get interesting story wise and felt like it was halway finished maybe and then, BAM, done. Feels like they just threw it out there incomplete. The second is apparently 1.5X times as long as the first, and the first felt like half a game, so I didn't bother springing for two since it was apparently 3/4 of a full game. Then 2 got some cult following inexplicably so maybe it's decent, but I'm not going to throw much fundage around to find out.

There was a time when ZOE2 was commanding about $100 factory sealed on eBay.  I remembered buying ZOE2 when it was selling for $27.88 at Target.  I was kicking myself for not buying some more copies.

The first game sucked Donkey balls compared to the second.


ZERO SHIFT ftw

Yeah, I kind of feel bad for people who played the first game, and thought it was pretty meh (rightfully so), and passed on the 2nd game.  Going by sales #s there were A LOT of people who did that, and it's a shame because they missed out on one of the best PS2 games.

People bought the first game for the MGS2 demo.  ZoE2 didn't have an accompanying demo.

I bought ZoE for ZoE and Tobal for Tobal; MGS2 and FF7 demos were nice bonuses.  ZoE and Tobal are similar for that and having tremendously improved sequels.  Sadly Tobal 2 never released in the states  :'(

(I spent more time with the MGS2 demo than ZoE1.  Magus might be joking but I'd be excited for MGS2 demo HD.)

I don't see how someone who loves mecha anime could not love ZOE2. Then again, Himu watches them for the space drama and shit, not for the giant robot battles. Pussy.

I don't see how that makes me a pussy. Space drama is few and far between these days. I'm a sci-fi nerd, not a mecha nerd. Also, though I like mecha, I am a gamer first and foremost, and I'll judge the game on its own gameplay mechanics and merits even if it has a subject matter I like.
Stop giving serious responses goddammit
