I don't want to get anyone's hopes up with a bump, but for some reason I thought this was Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle-related before I opened the thread. am disappoint

Considering Kojima's track record, I bet the Project Ogre thing is nothing ZOE related. He's a fucking troll and he's fucking with you guys. You specifically. Everyone in this thread.

I'd believe it.

I thought that too, until I remembered the ZOE thing of the same name.

I should buy the HD collection. I rented ZoE once when I worked at BB (or was it 2?). All I remember was "Man this is cool, I should wait until I'm not tired to play it more"

Then I never did.

nnnnnnngh.
topic renamed, now!

According to Magunus' twitter account (someone who was at the event and is reporting via twitter): https://twitter.com/#!/Magunus

- 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.

He also posted artwork and a scale model which was at the event showing off the new Orbital Frame for Enders Project:

"set in an ancient civilization" reminds me of a stargate atmosphere.
if that might be the case my heart will explode.

Not sure if excited...

Fuck it, I'm excited. DON'T PLAY WITH ME KOJIMA

**Hiryo** · 2012-05-25 08:23

Set in an ancient civilization eh? Well its taken 10 years, I'm sure Kojima has it under control.

**xopher** · 2012-05-25 08:27

And it'll take another ten to release.

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-05-25 09:07

Sounds like a prequel

**Burningthought** · 2012-05-25 09:10

Nonetheless EXCITE AS FUCK.

It does, like the origin of Jehuty and Anubis, perhaps orbital frames in general.

It's not uncommon for stories set far in the past to have advanced civilizations, I kind of like the idea.

and that 2nd batch of screens that m4th_ posted are what the characters look like when generated in the "Fox Engine."

Hmm...excited, but cautious. This looks very different then the mech game I love.

**Arelian** · 2012-05-26 23:03

Looks vaguely like they're going the whole, mech is not a mech but actually an organic being strapped into armor, route. Interesting, to say the least!

**Salodin** · 2012-05-26 23:13

If you've ever seen the ZOE OVA, you can see the similarities.

**mightyg** · 2012-05-27 01:03

God the wait for this game is going to hurt. At least now we know they have some serious intentions.

Hideo Kojima Explains Role on ZOE Sequel

Friday's announcement of Enders Project, the sequel to Z.O.E and Anubis, was made by Hideo Kojima, but Kojima's role on the game appears to be limited. Writing via Twitter over the weekend, Kojima said that because he's busy on his "Ogre Project," he'll be a producer on Enders Project. He's serving only a support role, dealing with such areas as the game's direction and beginning planning. The actual game design, script, event direction, level design and direction are being handled by his staff.

While Kojima said that he's producer, Ryosuke Toriyama was also introduced as a producer during Friday's announcement stage event.

Kojima also attempted to explain what some have observed as possible changes from past Z.O.E series games. With Enders Project, they don't plan on changing the feel of the game, explained Kojima. Regarding world view and expression, however, there are two directions. One is the direction of the previous Z.O.E. games, "Japanimation SF Robot" style. The other direction is real world live action like in X-Men, Batman and Spiderman.

While they're not necessarily aiming for photo realism, this is what is optimal for the internally-developed Fox Engine, and the times require a "global, high-end Z.O.E. style." If they were to make a Japanimation-style sequel, the sense, content, game feel and budget would end up being domestic-oriented.

Z.O.E. purists may not need to worry about too drastic a change, though. Kojima added that few members of his staff have that "SF spirit," so whatever they make will probably pull from robot anime.

As long as the game isn't MGS4 level cutscenes, I'm sure they'll cook up something nice.
