Can't wait to see more of this ZoE2 is one of the best games made for the PS2.

Never got to play zone of the enders , i hoped for a collection on ps3 but no matter im excited

Retr0gamer · 16-05-2011 3:42pm

You missed out the second game was amazing. It got a limited rerelease about 2 years ago but it's still very hard to find. The first game is ok but the second game really is something else!

Aw, I better not make you feel any worse by telling you how the game constantly kept topping itself like the way it went from a battle along the top of a heavily armed trains taking out sections of it, followed by a boss fight with a boss the size of a small moon,followed by a section were you leaped between an armada mile long frigates systematically taking them out before heading back to the surface of mars for a massive pitched battle involving hundreds of Mechs :P All wrapped up in one of the most hilariously bad translations ever.

im hoping for 360 release as i just sold my ps3 :rolleyes: god damn it

GothPunk · 16-05-2011 4:46pm

WAT

Seriously.

WAT?!

I ZOE2 on eBay a couple of years ago (on your recommendation I do believe it was Retr0) and was blown away, it's sooo good. I played through ZOE first though, which was kinda pants, but ZOE2 is crazy good. More please!

cherryghost · 16-05-2011 5:34pm

Fantastic games, one of the reasons why I still have my PS2. ZOE2 was soooooo good. Can't wait to get my mits on ZOE3!

I have the second game, but I have yet to play it. I started replaying the first one last year, I must continue. There are loads of copies of the second game on eBay!

Would love if a 3rd game was on the way.

Maybe it's a HD release with extras.

landsleaving · 16-05-2011 9:50pm

Managed to find the second game for €3 or so in gamestop a few months back and it's fantastic. I loved the original as well, but it's a lot better.

I remember buying the first one for the Metal Gear 2 demo and being pleasantly surprised by the game I'd pretty much ignored in favour of running around that ship :pac:

Great news!

Sephiroth_dude · 16-05-2011 9:59pm

Its on amazon for 35.80.

I clicked into the Portal 2 thread before my brain processed the thread title. then I wet myself. I... I may have to buy a console. There. I said it. Only something as biblically epic as a Zone of the Enders game could wake me from console stasis.

In 2009 when they asked publicly for any interest in a 3rd ZOE game, Konami says their ZOE inbox was inundated: only about 3000 or so emails got through before the inbox server went tits up.

Rumours abound that any announcement will happen at E3, weekend of June 7.

Holy ****!!! That sounds....feckin class! :eek:

Played the first one and enjoyed it, apart from wanting to punch that kid every time he opened his mouth.

It's better than feckin class

Which is why I want a sequel so badly. Fingers crossed for E3.

Sephiroth_dude · 18-05-2011 12:56pm

I remember the game was number 1 in the charts for ages on the strenght of that demo. The games on the PS2 were so bad at the time that playstation magazines were running 20+ page articles on how to get the best out of your MGS2 demo. It was the only thing worth playing on the system for months.

This is still one of my favourite sections of a videogame of all time. ZoE2 was so FREAKIN' good. Gotta love the final powered up version of the suit that was able to shift behind your enemies and tear them a new one from back there.

If ZoE3 were to come out, I'd buy a PS3 for it alone. That's how much I want it.
