Zone of Enders Fans Have Crashing Power

Kojima Productions' chief podcaster reveals how many fans responded to a 2009 inquiry about whether fans want the development studio to make a new Zone of Enders game.

Redrum0595049d ago

hmmm... oh i wander who would disagree with a comment like "3 please" when all it implies is a zone of the enders 3.

sikbeta5049d ago

Z.O.E 3 exclusive for the PS3 with that Amazing MGS4 Engine, Make it Happen Kojima-san...

ZombieAutopsy5049d ago

Could it be, Grand Master B???

Ontopic: Dear Kojima listen to your fans please.

deafwing5049d ago

they would be foolish to not make it soon

KingKiff5049d ago

ZOE has a cult like following.

I played 1 and 2 but didn't really get into either of them. I found the game play repetitive with the whole fly here and kill robot A then fly here and kill robot B.

Plus I finished both games in one sit down in under 5 hours.

I also thought the story was weak with the whole child saving the world deal.

But just my opinion though I am sure that lots of people like it. Heck maybe with the PS3 it could be an awesome game.

deafwing5049d ago (Edited 5049d ago )

yet there is nothing like it ...the only game that ever game close to high flying robot action was that Polyphony Digital Game Omega Boost (and in all truth it was released before ZOE)

that one needs a sequel to :D

KingKiff5049d ago

I did say it was my opinion, but I suppose that you can disagree with an opinion lol.

Still, given Kojima's track record I am sure that if he makes another it will be good.

I personally would like to see more mech style customization, like heat sinks, better weapons, jet packs etc. Maybe a ranking up system could be included.

ChronoJoe5049d ago (Edited 5049d ago )

You should plat armoured core if you want that stuff.

I prefer armoured core myself. Doesn't really have a decent story, just thrust around and shoot stuff... that's fine with me. Lot of depth to the combat there, at least.

ZoE is good too, just a different type of game.

PLEASE!!! I'm hoping it will make a surprise showing at TGS, but I doubt it unfortunately.

Spenok5049d ago

You never know, you never know.

pwnsause5049d ago

WLPowell5049d ago

I suggest using ZERO SHIFT. With Jehuty's current status and your skills, you will win easily.

Well it has to be better than the first game

What? I was replying to The3faces

mkis007102d ago

It won the majority of goty awards in 2019...

I mean you can disagree with the Earth being round...

F0XH0UND922102d ago

You mean the game that won a bunch of awards and has an 83 on opencritic?

EvertonFC102d ago

83 is good, not sure what you are getting at.
You must miss loads of great games.

jimb0j0nes103d ago

Kojima definitely assembling the Metal Gear Solid avengers for Physint

1nsomniac102d ago

Is this really anything to get excited about? MGS5 was an absolute cluster f...

DarXyde102d ago

Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?

Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.

Samonuske102d ago

And regardless of its issues, it still had arguably the best gameplay in the series.

mkis007102d ago

The gameplay was amazing, coming from one who didn't play any of them until 4

Yui_Suzumiya102d ago

MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

mkis007102d ago

Well 4 is technically the last in sequence right?

Chocoburger102d ago

@mkis007

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.

CDbiggen102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.

Xbox and Playstation Keep Playing Russian Roulette, Except Kojima Is the Gun

The Nerd Stash: Kojima Productions as a whole is nothing without Hideo Kojima himself and the backing of either Xbox or PlayStation.

Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.

The3faces103d ago

Must be nice to be the official spokesperson for Kojima. Lucky you

VenomUK103d ago

What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.

Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.

Laxus103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.

I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.

Crows90103d ago

If OD is cloud based...I'm sorry but that's a stretch. The Xbox thing is probably a little project he's had in mind.

Laxus103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

Random N4G PS fanboy : "just a small little project"

derek103d ago

Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.

Michiel1989102d ago

so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?

Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.

Lightning77103d ago

MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.

purple101103d ago

They didn’t actually say stealth
They said espionage.

This is better for me I don’t have the nerves for stealth but a James Bond esque game with a bit of puzzle solving/ detective work and minimal stealth, would be great!

We all know Kojima likes his freedom and we know what console developers get the most freedom🤷🏿 only an orchard full of moldy brains would think otherwise.

neutralgamer1992103d ago

VenomUK

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that. I am sure sony will discuss PS6's specs with him so he can provide his feedback and know what he is working with

Workshyskiver

even he said his partnership with sony goes back 3 decades so yes i am sure he is a playstation guy through and through but i don't think he will short change xbox

phoenixwing103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

Neutral you're not wrong. There is absolutely no reason for Kojima not to do his best with od its got his name associated with it. It's not like Kojima to half a$$ anything.

Workshyskiver103d ago

What I meant is the scope and effort put in to the project. I'll be shocked if OD is as big in scope as DS, DS2 or his new game.

neutralgamer1992102d ago

i agree with you on that. OD is something he is expermenting with IMO

DaniMacYo103d ago

X Box is a dead market. All they got is money talks.

mastershredder103d ago

Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.

Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).

Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).

These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….

Kojima’s OD features a “social scream system” for Xbox, patent claims

jdoe153d ago

No both the headline and the article are totally false. There is no file for a "patent" just the trademark, which the article hosts hyperlinks to but seems to deliberately misquote.

YourMommySpoils153d ago

That makes sense. Kojima definitely knows what gamers are in Xbox. XD

obidanshinobi153d ago

More pretentious guff from Hideous Kojima.
Can't wait.
