I stole this from Duckroll because I don't know the Japanese:

- 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.

KojiPro

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

If Kojima were to ever leave Konami the latter will likely exit the traditional video game business. Silent Hill is

, 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.

Owl-faced Wizard · « **Reply #30 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.

Takao · « **Reply #31 on:** May 25, 2012, 10:05:36 PM »

Is it confirmed that ZOE HD isn't coming to Vita anymore? That would suck ass.

I was just expecting Konami to release the Vita version well after the console version in a weak attempt to get people to double dip.

I though I remember someone in the gaf thread saying that a dude from texas was a producer or something. Bluepoint is in texas. I remain hopeful.

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.

Himu · « **Reply #36 on:** May 26, 2012, 10:27:02 AM »

ZOE2 was nothing but flash and style with very little substance, and was like 4 hours long.

brob · « **Reply #37 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.

brob · « **Reply #46 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.

zoe2 is a lot of fun,and the music is awesome,and all that flashy stuff,i don't think there is a game that better catch the feeling of "animu robots" and that includes all the games with actual animu robots in it

so really who gives a fuck if it doesn't feature a combo system or stuff like that? go cry for a sequel of bayonetta that's never going to get released

The announcement is definitely an incentive to get people to buy the HD Collection. If the HD Collection sells well then there's no reason for Konami to not greenlight the sequel, if it doesn't, then oh well.
