New Zone of the Enders Game in Experimental Stages of Development

"Zone of the Enders is a franchise that has been dormant for nine years, until recently. At an event for Zone of the Enders: HD Collection – a remaster of the PS2-based games – the announcement was made that a brand new ZOE game is currently in development. Hideo Kojima revealed personally that the game is still in very early experiment stages, but added that he is still very enthusiastic after all these years about making Zone of the Enders 3 a reality."

I haven't played zone of the enders but a small, wet, white patch seems to appear on the pants of those who talk about it so I imagine it's good. I'll probably get the collection when it releases.

... why were you staring at my crotch?

SavageKuma4355d ago

All I have to say is about freaking time. Game was unique when it first debuted on the ps2. I am starting to think these HD remakes are developers seeing if people would want a sequel.

Baka-akaB4355d ago

There definitively a way to jauge interest , since the original games werent much successful .

Anyway can't wait

supraking9514355d ago

of course they were successful, why you think there remaking them and making a new game? The series was a sleeper hit, good word of mouth had gamers buy the games long after there launch

Baka-akaB4355d ago (Edited 4355d ago )

Er no they werent much . Kojima himself mentioned the poor sale of the franchise so far , despite overwhelming praises for the games . He even blames himself and the wrong release timeframe for its failures

Heck they even had a MGS2 demo to boost it ( only 700k with it for the first game , and the second game only did around 400k over the years ) .

They also ried expanding the brand with anime series with no success in that field either .

Why do you think it took so long for even an experimental ZOE 3 to appear ?

ZOE 1-2 are easily among my top ten favorite games ever , but the truth is they didnt sell well at all . Just like Ico and colossus were flops in their first least at life .

I can only hope for the success it deserves , in both hd collection and new games version

batguyz4355d ago

About time,but what worries me now is WHEN it will be released..because Kojima is a perfectionist. I predict we will see Z.O.E in 2-3 yrs tops.

DA_SHREDDER4355d ago

I wished for this since the beginning of this gen. ZOE3, with the overwold map from Part 1 stretching across the whole solar system, with versus online, 3D running at 60 fps = Next Gen

Zone of the Enders: HD Collection - Still the Best Way to Enjoy the Classic Series

More than a decade since release, Zone of the Enders: HD Collection remains your best opportunity to enjoy the games on modern consoles.

I loved 2nd Runner back in the day on the PS2.I tiried playing it again years later on the PS4 and I just couldn't get into it. I don't know what happened. The game just felt janky to me.

VersusDMC319d ago

I have the ps4 edition of 2nd runner(Mars) and it runs great. But i guess if you want to play the original you need the collection.

The war and taking down the fleet sections are highlights that i still remember to this day. Maybe Armoured Core VI will have some dope sections like that.

Knightofelemia319d ago

A series that needs a new entry

gamerz319d ago

Runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck. Doesn't feel too old or constricted on the small screen.

sertz319d ago

Absolutely loved these games. Bought the first ZoE because of the MGS2 demo, and ended up loving the game that came with the demo! Haha but ZoE 2 has a special place in my heart. The mix of 3D and anime style cell shading at the time on Ps2 was NEXT LEVEL. I beat it in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon and will always remember that game. Hard as sh** but improved on the first in every way and had some very cool easter eggs.

Mulaka looks interesting. Never played a ZoE game and SS2 is prob my favorite of the SS games.

Lightning77974d ago

Chaos Bane and Zone Of The Enders for me. Personally, not a bad month.

Christopher973d ago

Chaosbane is a great get, IMHO. Definitely one of those "not a must-buy but definitely want to try" games. It's got the usual Warhammer game baseline of rerunning missions and whatnot, but a different style of diablo-esque than normal that was enjoyable.

franwex974d ago

I have owned Zone of the Enders collection. I encourage you to try it. It’s corny in a good way and not very long games.

Germaximus974d ago

Chaosbane is pretty cool if you're into games like Diablo

JayRyu974d ago (Edited 974d ago )

I own ZOE physical nice to have the digital to downloaded to launch when I want to play it. The same with Samurai Showdown.

Looking forward to trying out ChaosBane

Good month for GWG
