Zone of the Enders HD Collection contains remastered ports of Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (known in Japan as Anubis: Zone of the Enders). Zone of the Enders was released for the Playstation 2 in North America on March 1, 2001. The sequel came out on the same system on February 13, 2003.

What kind of games are these?

**Dave-The-Rave** · 01-20-2012

I don't get the interest in these games, they just look like robot fighting mash'em'up games to me.

**TekkenLord** · 01-20-2012

pfft, why do a HD remake? Why not just make a new zone of enders.

**ddPLaNeT** · 01-20-2012

I'm a huge fan of the serie, this is another top work from Kojima !

I wish they made a new ZOE with todays graphics... i'll take the HD collection for now.

**ps3freak18** · 01-20-2012

I'm ready for this because I never got around to it. My friends absolutely adored it but I just never gave it a play.

**AaronSOLDIER** · 01-20-2012

If theres nothing taken out then I'll get them since I never played them but if its like the MGS and SH Collections I'll get the PS2 versions sometime.

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 01-20-2012

Zone of Enders 2 felt like a next gen game on PS2 for me. The gameplay was fun and the graphics were AMAZING for PS2. This is a definite must day 1 buy for me. It is one of those underrated, unknown gaming experiences. So so so cool, I can only drool at the idea of playing it in 720pish and HD upgrade.

**Bigdoggy** · 01-20-2012

Why though, where is ZOE III? honestly, I never understood this type of marketing. To me it seems more like a generic way to make money, probably wont ever see ZOE III on the PS3, so what they do is do HD remakes of them o.O

**Ghost-Rhayne** · 01-20-2012

This + HD =

**Forcedme** · 01-20-2012

I saw this thread title from the main page and it cut off at "Enders..." I knew in my heart that it wouldn't be ZOE3, but GOD did I hope against hope. This is cool, too, though. I definitely plan on giving it a look. Zone of the Enders 2 was by far one of the most memorable journeys I took on the PS2.

But fucking christ, Kojima, where is the third one? I would gladly forfeit future MGS titles to see a ZOE3.

**LadyDuoMaxwell** · 01-20-2012

I have never played the ZOE series before. I guess I will check these when it comes out.

Because it's probably coming after this

I wonder if Kojima wants to sell this collection to see if there's enough demand for a 3rd...

**Bigdoggy** · 01-21-2012

It's not really a good way to measure demand for a 3rd game. it's almost like them saying "if we don't get enough sales on HD remakes of the game, we wont make a 3rd" that right there is just generic and as for a cartoon looking in HD, big deal. I may sound negative but my goodness, make at least a new installment to the freakin series.

**Kauldron** · 01-21-2012

Now this I can't wait for. Boy I wish Kojima would make some more of these games.

**Lefein** · 01-21-2012

I need a Jehuty in real life. Until then, I'll take every ZOE game I can get my hands on!

I've only played the second one, but trust me, it's flat out awesome. The gameplay will blow you away. It's so sleek and fast-paced. 10X better than any Gundam game.

It's a very short game. Might only take you about 5 hours, but it's pure quality. Good story, epic set pieces, great music, etc.

Is it a bit like Vanquish from platinum Games?

I only played the demo of Vanquish very briefly, so I can't really help you out there.

I absolutely agree with what you said.

Kojima, get off your sorry ass, pull your sorry ass out of the MGS series, and make ANOTHER video game for once.

**emmerich** · 01-22-2012

I vaguely remember playing Z.O.E. I can't really remember if I liked it and I'm certain I never did get round to beating it, so I'll probably pass on this collection.

Looks that way, but not as much when you play it. In later parts of the game you get fucked if you're not careful. The best is the 1v1 boss fights though.

Obviously to get people ready for a new Zone of the Enders, and to build some interest.

**zex494** · 01-23-2012

Pass..i still have both originals, just send out the next installment please

**billm0066** · 01-23-2012

I guess I dont understand why people like this game. I could only watch a minute of that youtube video before I had to turn it off. Maybe you need to like that anime crap or something.

Ummm...no. It's not just a robot fighting mash'em'up game. It's THE robot fighting mash'em'up game. It plays like nothing ever before. Not like Armored Core, not like Virtual On. Not like Omega Boost. It makes all those games seem slow motion in comparison. (well, maybe not Omega Boost)

The boss fights in ZOE2 are particularly spectacular.

Bring on ZOE 3!!!!
