Just days after mentioning that a Zone of Enders sequel was high on his priority list, Kojima has spoken more on the franchise on his blog. Kojima acknowledges that Zone of the Enders 2 was popular amongst fans and the press, but explains that due to a botched release schedule, it garnered less than average sales.
Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.
The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.
And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)
We previously shared some cell phone pics of the Zone of the Enders sequel design models that attendees of today's ZOE HD Reboot event managed to snap. Now here's another cell phone pic, this time from someone closer to the project (and apparently with a better cell phone).
0_0 What the hell did they do to Jehuty? Lol (assuming that that's what it actually is.)
Game takes place in the past (ancient times) and assuming from the concept art these are no longer orbital frames but rather suits of armor.
Big change in direction but very very interesting and cool.
I have a hunch Kojima will use the "Advanced Egyptian-like Science/Civilization that built magnificent creations that was eradicated from the present" story elements.
Kojima just like previous Z.O.E games will not have a huge input into the series and will be minimally involved.
On Saturday December 10th 2011 during the Spike Video Game Awards a Red Carpet Interview Konami's Hideo Kojima tells GamerFitNation.com That He Wants to make The highly anticipated Zone of The Enders 3.
An if you have to decide between multiplayer and making a good SP, please go for the SP.
Dude, the first ZOE had MP and it was actually really good. A lot of fighting Mech games struggle to even reach that level of awesomeness.
Either way I would love a ZoE 3, I felt like I was teased during MGS4's Ray vs Rex battle.
@erathaol:
That was 1v1 "multiplayer" that features different types of mechs.
Not today's standards, which would be 8v8 with everyone in the same mech. Nevermind a multiplayer which would be more like a MP tutorial.
There's co-op multiplayer, and 1 v 1, also hoard mode. Game is gonna look sick on my 120 hrz 3-D tv and will probably make my eyes bleed.
Cool and come the release of the HD collection please hide a little teaser after completing both games
Ok mr kojima, but make MGS 5 first. Please, throw us a bone here mr kojima
I'm sorry but it actually hurt me to disagree with you man. Metal Gear Solid 5 will be a game I would love to play but, Honestly I feel Zone should be 1st. It's a difference in pace, and something that should have been a long time ago. If he started MGS 5 knowing his rep for taking long times for games. We'd never see ZOE3
with the studio now able to work on two titles, maybe 3 i dont see why not work on both? I mean he is the main guy for Kojima basically now, what better way to make yourself look good than to have two flagship titles release year after year and watch sales be high?
If they are working on a Vita adaptation, I don't see why a smaller group couldn't just "port" the ps3 version to the vita, thats how Sony made the system.
Agreed. ZotE 3 would be so freaking sweet seeing how we haven't had that in a longer time then we had a MGS game (MGS4).
So I rather them work on ZotE 3 with the foxengine, really get everything out of it, then when it comes time to make MGS5 (probably next gen), they will be skilled enough with the engine and make MGS5 the best MGS game they can. And again, MGS5 on next-gen consoles with the tech that goes along with them(it) would truly make for an epic game!
He says that every year.
It's just his way of fobbing you off. He's like
'Yeah I'd love to make another one'
- God, why can't they leave me alone....
Next year....
'We would love to make one, absolutely'
- Little bastards won't leave me alone!
Next year....
'We are close to wanting to really make one'
- FFS
Next year....
'Just f*** off will ya!'
This would make me excited about games again if this happened. Z.O.E 1+2 HD remake would make me a happy gamer.
I wonder if we'll see anyone owning up to the failure of the games pushed back to early 2010 like Kojima did :P
Still, sounds like he really wants to do a sequel. It took him almost 10 years to get a sequel out to the original Metal Gear games, so I have faith he'll stick to his word.
The games are gonna continue to fail worldwide too unless they change the animu art style.
i still own my copy of zone of the enders 2 it was so much better than the first one. it was truly a great game it is deserving of another installment
Its to bad ZOE did not sell well but I have hope the next one in the series will do better. Then I want to see Policenauts and Snatcher next.
