NowGamer - Konami had a sequel in the planning stages, following Zone Of The Enders’ successful release in early 2001, after the game’s sales were almost certainly inflated by a packed-in demo to the much-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty, which naturally meant a demo-less sequel would have to prove itself on its own terms.
The appointment of Shuyo Murata as director of ZOE 2 came under interesting circumstances. He was credited in the first game as working on cinematics, yet it was pitching a story for the sequel to producer Hideo Kojima that landed him a job.
The story, reportedly, was about a pilot riding the game’s central mech, Jehuty, while surviving an addiction to Metatron, ZOE’s fictional power source.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Drew Leachman writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our second series will focus on Sony’s sophomore entry into the console business, the PlayStation 2.
Let’s continue with the letters “X, Y, and Z”.
Kevin from Denkiphile: "The staff consists primarily of PC gamers and Metal Gear Solid fans. We went crazy for its showing at E3 2014 and were absolutely tickled when its PC port was announced. With PC gaming popularity at an all-time high, it’s no wonder that it’s here, but a lot of games have never made appearances on what some have taken to calling the “master race” platform. Here are a few ports that haven’t happened, but totally should."
Red Dead Redemption and all of Halo for sure. Last of Us also feels like a game that would fit well on PC, but that isn't likely to ever happen.
Apparently console-exclusive gamers have a jealous streak. Luckily I play on both.
Lol Wut..PC is the best platform man ...i loved psx and Ps2 now i can play them again on emulator..Resident Evil 4 is having restavration by modders and you dont have respect by pc gamers?
yes i know master race thing i kind od anoying..they are sad persons..just like you :PP xD
Red Dead won't happen. Rock star has stated that the code was too sloppy to straight-up port. They would have to make it from the ground up for PC.
Unless, they were remaster the game on next gen consoles. Still, now that it's easier to port from console to pc, probably the next red dead will come to pc.
please port these games to PC so that we can buy it when it goes on sale for $3.99 on Steam!
You know the irony of that is that's $3.99 from people who otherwise would not of purchased the game anyways. If people really want game bad enough they'll but it earlier than that.
Go look at how Alan Wake, or Dark Souls did on PC. Hell, even the Naruto game, or Skull Girls.
Why on earth would gamers want to play games on their platform of choice? Sounds crazy. /s
Because that doesn't go both ways, right friend? At the end of the day, there's mountains of quality PC-specific content to be had, and I see far less "Port-begging" going on on the PC side of things.
What does hypocrisy taste like anyway?
None of this needs to happen, they brag of having this outrages machines with great power and capable of achieving great specs . Then why not created your own games instead of wanting the games of so called inferior machines as so lable by the PC elitist.
Inferior machines and PC elitist? You sound incredibly insecure about being a console owner. The Pc master race was a thing in the late 90's -early 2000's. Just let it go...
No insecurity , just using words that those Behind a PC like to throw around or use.
If none of this needs to happen, then consoles would've been an awful place to be. Really, your beloved consoles are practically made up of PC components while playing genres that PC gamers have tinkered with for years(F2P and indie games that previous gen consoles couldn't play or simply left to die like survival horror). Imagine if PC gaming continues as it is today while the PS4 and XB1 have to endure another cycle of hardware development from the previous gen. There's a reason why Sony dropped the CELL processors and chose PC hardware/architecture for next gen.
Some PC gamers bragged about their uber machines and it's understandable they want games that push them to the limits. BUT there are also PC gamers-literally millions of them-who have dedicated years of their lives playing WoW whose cartoony graphics is nothing when compared to PS4 graphics. There are still dedicated fans out there still keeping older MMOs running even to this day. The makers of The Witcher franchise is also selling older PC games(patched to be compatible with modern OS with zero DRM through their own efforts and barely any access to the source codes)over at GoG. Doom is still being played even today-you can bet someone must've played it on their super PC!
Yes, there are other types of PC gamers out there besides those elitists and from the looks of things they make up the quiet majority of PC gamers.
I agree that is does have its place in history as being a game that should be remembered. Certainly, ZoE is one of those IP's that Kojima Productions fans are going to buy for remasters and will constantly ask Kojima about when the net ZoE is going to arrive.
