The fate of the next Zone Of the Enders

Well? Does anyone know? Do you want to know? (I don't)

Because I have waited for some time to hear news about the future of this beloved franchise, and I have been wondering whats up.

Also, do you think this is going to be a Sony exclusive again? I think so, but it would be awesome to see how such a game plays on the Wii or if it comes out for the 360.

What are your thoughts, veterans of the System Wars?

PC or Wii. I am sure Kojima would love to use the Wiimote.foxhound_fox

It does seem like it would be the case. As for PC, I say it's a 50/50 chance it will come out along with a console version(since MGS1 came out on the PC too), so I did not list it as an exclusive.

I like the music in ZOE, but other than that I think ZOE is garbage..for some reason I cannot stand video games with mechs. I'd choose PS3 though. majadamus

Well, if thats your problem with it, I guess I can't convince you otherwise. Personaly, I always thought if the DBZ games had a similar fighting system as in ZoE, they would get much more critical acclaim.

ZoE has lots of cgi mecha battles. Wouldn't be as awesome using only the game engine.

And Vic Viper owns you all.

I'm almost positive it did. Remember, the hero's friends are tied up to a pole, and then a mech crashes on top of them? 

This may be a scene from the first, perhaps. It's been years since I last played them, so my memory is foggy. I really wish I hadn't sold them...

I can't remember any CGI in the first ZoE, what are you talking about? :/

I say PS3.

For one, after MGS4 is done, they'll already know how to get the most of the PS3 so they don't have to worry about big costs due to long production periods and they'll be abel to make the game the best it can b.

Second, it's almost all but confirmed that Kojima will be working on a new Snatcher project for the Wii in collaboration with some other well known developers(Can't remember their name(s) right off the bat).

Finally, as far as making anything else for the Wii or something for the 360 goes, I'm pretty sure Kojima wants to try something completely new as far as games. He's been aching to try a new IP that will accomodate to the gaming desires for these two systems for a long time now and I think he'd rather pursue that right now, rather than try to churn out a sequel to one of his franchises for them.

The first ZOE did have CGI cutscenes. ZOE2 has anime cutscenes but they use the game engine when the mechs are involved in the cutscenes.jsnepo

Yep, that what I missed in ZoE2 3D cgi mecha fights. The game is great, but cgi allows a certain freedom and detailing that the game engine can't match. Think Gundam Evolva battles but with a story behind.  

As long as it's not on the Wii. That would be terrible.purplemidgets

The wii cant even handle ZOE2's graphics, it would need some major downgrading if it was on the wii. 

Multi-platform, with extra waggle for the PS3 version, you know, as a nod to all those people who think Lair is going to be good. This is because the only way I can imagine getting a chance to play it within the next year would be if it appears on 360.WeeWeeJumbo

Kojima hates the 360 because of his fanboyism regarding PSone and how he has 'fond memories' of working on it but also because he is a typical Japanese dev that shuns an American made console.

Kojima only produced the last ZoE, and it's the good one.

What are you talking about? Both were good IMHO.

Is that why he originally started developing for an American platform created by Microsoft? :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_%28video_game%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX

His first game series was "Metal Gear was developed and first published by Konami in 1987 for the MSX2home computer."

And MSX was "It was a Microsoft-led attempt to create unified standards among hardware makers"

Also he stuck with MSX for many years creating a sequel and other games such as Snatcher.

Slicing and blasting away mechs through the Wii remote sounds like a crapload of fun to me.MoldOnHold

Zone of the Enders is far too fast for the motion sensing controls.

 damn near snap your wrists using the motion sensoring for dodge moving.

 Funny because the fact that the Wii Remote can move faster then the controller. *Apparently some people haven't really played the Wii and the ultra fast Trauma Center*

You ever watch a mech anime? They always show the pilots in the cockpits cotrolling with two handels at ech side. I would love to see the wii controls baised off that. But, it would have to be done perfectly cause as people have already said, ZOE is a FAST game! Though, I trust Kojima to pull it off. :)goblaa

Ugh..I also hate mech animes as well. Gundam Wing series awful, Eureka 7..wtf was that about?

I just watched part of the first episode of Eureka 7 today, and turned it off because it got boring. By the way WTF is up with the surfing?

The ZOE is by far the worst anime I've ever seen in my life. *refering to Dolores* can't believe I actually brought that garbage.
