Zone of the Enders HD Collection Opening (HD Quality)

This is definitely a series that improved completely with the sequel while I personally felt that the first game was just alright I guess. The sequel really just blows it out of the water, but the boss fights in the first game are still extremely fun to play.
Synopsis: Zone of the Enders HD Collection is an Action video game collection featuring two games from Hideo Kojima's, Zone of the Enders series. Originally developed for PlayStation 2 in 2001 and 2003 respectively, the included games - Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner - are remastered in high-definition, and feature an engrossing story based in humanity's expansion into space and the conflicts that result. Features include: the full classic games, dramatic and action-oriented flying/floating mecha (robot anime) combat, new opening animations, Playstation trophy support, and a demo for the upcoming 2013 Konami release, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

[@mane101970]

i still remember the first time you get to use "zero shift", and just how unmatched and powerful you become

[@XDTheLaughingManXD]

This is one of the few games that lets you feel how unmatched you were until the final boss. That pilot against pilot moment is second to none. You knew it was do or die.

first time in game know how important skill and knowledge, for me when it get vector canon how powerful that is to destroy the whole big ass eye ball machine, and finally zero shift made easy to fight anubis, but i like the jap opening and the conv explaining how jehudy can become powerful by the prog installed in it can cast new ability, zoe 3 pls in ps5

CptLvl I do agree the story was beyond basic. But I found it that it did it was meant to do. Still that doesn’t mean it was great. But the gameplay. That is by far the best thing these games have to offer.

[@neuro1073]

My first ever experience with z.o.e was when I was checking out my uncles old PlayStation games. He had this gigantic box that held all his games like silent hill and mgs. And I just randomly selected zone of the Enders 2 out of all of them. I completed my play through of the game about a year ago. I was also playing mgs3 alongside my play through of the second runner. Both those games are something I will never forget. The amount of joy and fun I had while playing those games is something I just can’t put into words personally. Most games today are just following what’s trending when they are developed and are just the exact same every year having no originality or care put into them. I wish Konami would just go back to what it used to be...

[@Comangeit]

I love how they gave the Vector Cannon justice in this opening. Still the best weapon boot-up sequence of all time.

[@kimmyhtran]

@@stephenbyrne2170 Runner is another way of saying Pilot or more accurately an "Operator". Considering this takes more steps than just moving controls around. You would be considered a runner like an active operator "running" a program. Since the Orbital Frame (Jehuty) uses an artificial intelligence to make the mech function properly that means you would need to know how technology works.

[@shadow7988]

I was always puzzled by that. Chalk it up to post-2000's anime being nothing but waifu merchandising. None of that crap she was doing had anything to do with the plot in the game itself. No naked spinning, no magic orbs, nothing. She herself had a very small part in the story outside of being an obligatory forced love interest. You coulda pretty much removed her entirely and replaced her with a generic soldier and nothing in the story would have changed for worse.

[@brandonclemson3301]

not true that is not just a post 2000 anime thing they did that in the 90s and even the 80s i mean sure the whole waifu thing is more of a 2000s thing but its not like the concept/idea of waifus did not exist in the 90s and even 80s and in some cases even abit in the mid to late 70s i mean lum you could say was the first character that could be considered a waifu shes the og waifu and she was created by a girl in fact the same creator also created ranma 1/2 which was like the first harem romcom anime so i rest my case...

[@ukokira9852]

Shadow7988 After replaying ZOE 2 I don't think she was a forced love interest, since there wasn't any forced love in the first place, the most it got was genuine camaraderie.

[@zeropointfusion7679]

So, I had the pleasure of playing through the HD Collection of Z.O.E. several months ago. Absolutely loved it, but could see how other games outshone the release of the original titles. Between the first and second games, I think I preferred the way the second one played over the first. Furthermore, I think the 2D cutscenes were better made than the 3D cutscenes in the first game. I appreciate the overall story in both games, but I have to agree with others that the dialogue is laughably terrible. If there were ever plans to continue this series in the future, I think I would like to see a total remake of them first that would give the story and dialogue justice. Once the quality of the story is elevated, and assuming that the games are properly promoted and advertised at big events, then I would entertain the idea of a third game. However, if indeed there ever were to be a remake, and the story and dialogue were properly done, then it may be best to leave it as a duology. Given how the second game ends, I'm not sure how much further they could expand upon the idea.
