So they're going for zoe universe with a touch of mgs4 realism?

My body isn't ready for such a thing...

A lot of Jehuty's cockpit but makes up for it with naked Ken.

Damn, too many spoilers to show my buddy the trailer. I wonder how much new art is in the game besides those clips.

You can never have enough of Jehuty's cockpit.

Really liked the intro and the display of Jehuty's abilities.

A little leak, more news expected soon.

Bump, no need to high jack the Revengeance thread with ZoE. Loving this HD update, everything is in glorious 1080p except the PS1 era looking FMV's lol.

**Nitsuki** · 2012-10-30 22:31

**Tekki** · 2012-10-30 22:35

Grabbed the brobox one for the supposed better frame rate. Hasn't dropped yet besides one incident where I intentionally filled the screen up to blow up survivors.

Amazon.com review:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Konami-20247...673973&sr=8-11

Make no mistake, I love the Zone of the Enders games. Next to Virtual On and the newer Armored Cores, they are some of the most fast, fluid and intense mecha games ever created, with the added bonus of a compelling sci-fi narrative masterfully crafted by Hideo Kojima. So why do I award this "HD remastered" collection of the two PS2 ZOE games one star?

Next to the dire Silent Hill HD, this is one of the sloppiest HD collections yet released. The porting work was farmed out to High Voltage Software, an American studio notorious for putting out licensed junk like White Men Can't Jump, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, and Dora the Explorer. They have very little experience with HD consoles, zero experience with porting other developers' code, and clearly had no idea what they were doing. Compared to the PS2 originals, the framerate of these ports is a complete joke.

Make no mistake, the games will stutter, lag, slow to a crawl, and possibly even crash across the course of a mission. In the scenes that tax the hardware the most, like certain boss battles, the game is practically unplayable. A huge amount of my enjoyment of the original versions came from how fluid the "high speed robot action" was, where you truly felt you were in control of these gorgeous floating monstrosities. That's all but gone here. The unacceptably low framerate also has the unfortunate side effect of rendering the difficulty of some previously challenging battles inconsequential, since you are given so much more time to react to your enemies.

If you are playing the PS3 version, the framerate will be even worse. Konami has claimed that the games play at a smooth 60 frames per second, which is an outright lie. They have also claimed that these ports preserve all the subtle graphical touches and effects of the original versions, which is also untrue. They are mostly intact in the 360 version, but if you are playing on PS3, motion blur is downgraded to be barely noticeable and certain particle effects are entirely removed. There are also strange glitches in background and facial graphics that make it look like you are playing poorly emulated versions of the games.

There are other major problems that could have been solved by a longer development cycle and more competent programmers. For example, getting a trophy in the PS3 version will often freeze the game for minutes at a time. But they are beyond the scope of this review. Suffice to say, Konami needs to release a major patch for this game to fix its numerous issues. It took them a very long time to do this for Silent Hill HD, and it was hardly a panacea. If the ZOE collection is patched and the hardcore fans determine it to be an adequate fix, by all means buy it. Until then, stay the heck away. These amazing games deserved far better treatment.

Unsure if he's just anal or what though. I'll wait for other reviews to spring up.

Also, I laughed after seeing the Metal Gear Rising demo being included on it. Reminds me of the quote/saying:

It was so nice of Konami to provide a free game with the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo.

Zone of the Enders did a brisk initial sale, which was mostly attributed to the fact that the game also included a demo of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. So rather, people were buying the demo, and then maybe later on trying out the "free game that came with it".

So I'm playing the first ZoE and I'm not noticing a damn thing that's gamebreaking as of yet and I'm halfway through the game (game's short as shit). I haven't even gotten close to any type of lag, choppy gameplay or anything of the sort. ZoE 2 might I'll let ya know when I get there.

Having a serious nostalgia trip, so glad I have this game.

Edit - I'm on PS3.

**darkepyon** · 2012-11-01 16:02

Getting mine (on PS3) later this afternoon. Never played the originals back in the day so this should be interesting.

**Salodin** · 2012-11-01 18:48

Zoe2 always have problems when u mass kill mosquitoes from the smoke if it doesn't lag anywhere else except for that I'll be happy

**AoE** · 2012-11-01 19:17

Eh lemme finish the game first before I say anything. Framerate isn't terrible but if you look closely, it's not as smooth as it could be. Gameplay is just as responsive as it should be though which is what matters to me the most.

Also, is it just me or did they add more stuff to this game because I feel like there shit in here that wasn't in the original.

**Tekki** · 2012-11-01 19:59

Im playing in on PS3. No issues so far
