The graphical style used in MGSV doesn’t necessarily reflect what the engine would always look like, just the way it was used there. I’m sure they could have made a more anime style game in it for ZOE. Just look at how the RE Engine powers both Resident Evil VII and Ghosts and Goblins, ones a realistic 3D survival horror game the other’s a 2D cartoon platformer game but they both use the same engine.

felman87 His team won't have the rights to make it ZOE. It would have to be its own unique mecha game. A spiritual successor would be nice. Also Kojima hasn't even made a ZOE game before. It was his studio but ZOE2 was the product of Shuyo Murata (co-writer of MGS4, Peace Walker, main writer on Revengeance) as he was the writer, game designer, and producer of it. Hopefully he follows Kojima to wherever he goes. Probably will since he was screwed by Konami too.

ZoE blew my mind as a kid. I'll admit, I bought it primarily for the MGS demo, but I'll be damned if ZoE didn't steal the show for me. It was such a culture shock; not only did the game run at a frame rate so silky smooth that I only just then realized "frame rate" was even a concept, and the spatially baffling radial combat was so satisfying that I put down DMC for months. 2 was just everything I wanted out of the sequel (that damn hot/cold hunt aside). I thought it was going to be something big, you know? The general mecha importation flow had tapered substantially, but there was this slick and stylish mech action game from Kojima - /the/ Kojima - that had me hooked. It must've been about that time that videogames started getting "big" and publishers stopped funding risky IPs and just iterating. Fast forward a decade and apparently we can't even take Kojima for granted anymore. I just want ZoE 3, man. In summation: Good video. It made me mopey and nostalgic.

Also, thanks for mentioning the low price of the HD Collection on PS3. As soon as I finished the video, I bought this game for $12 and am currently having a total blast with The 2nd Runner.

One thing I really liked about Kojima was it refined the spacenoid/Earthling struggle that Gundam 0079 touched on. Despite the lack of representation, Earth never truly oppressed the colonists in the start of the series. The idea that Zeon was found by an megalomaniac who wanted to be written in the books as the great revolutionary. Compare this to Policenauts and Zone of the Enders where a simple food tax could cripple the way of martian life, or the cruel final fate of all spacenoids as they are forced to live in servitude to the people who was sworn to police their colony who now become influential men in power with few means to resist their rule.

It's honestly a true shame that such a unique series had to meet such an abrupt end. Atleast Kojima tried to make the Enders Project but as expected Konami had to pull its usual stunt which is kill good content because why not? This video actually got me to go and pick up the HD Collection and i have to say i'm glad i saw this and got to enjoy such an interesting game series. I was like most MGS fans who knew about this series but never gave it a shot, now i feel like i was missing out on such a great story and gameplay system. Thanks for introducing me to Yakuza and Z.O.E, i love your content and keep up the excellent work.

Anybody remember that period between 2002-2007 where Gonzo was doing 4 shows a year, and they almost all sucked? Then the 2008 recession hit and they all disappeared. Last Exile was good, that's all.

The Vic Viper is so fucking cool. I'd love for you to do one of these on the Gradius series, it's so sad that there hasn't been a true Gradius game since the PS2 (Gradius V was effing amazing though). Zone of the Enders 2 is one of my favorite games ever though, so fun, and that Vic Viper fight with Leo is amazing.

... I'm honestly shocked that ZOE 2 wasn't a big hit. That game was just mind blowing and aged pretty well thanks to the semi cell-shading look

I just picked up the HD collection from Gamestop for $12. Honestly I played Anubis ZOE back in 05 but I was borrowing it for the most part, and I really enjoyed it. Glad I'm finally getting around to beating it. But seriously we need more AAA Mecha titles like this in current gaming media.

Love how you mentioned about Blue Point studios, Konami missed the ball twice in HD Collection release juts because choise the wrong studio (Hijinx studios), Silent Hill (2&3) and Zone of the Enders (1&2) pay for that and it was really saddnest thing. Blue Point studios work in HD remasterization for Metal Gear Solid games (2, 3 and Peace Walker) and was a wonderful job! What hell happened with you, Konami!?

Also agreed, the flash step skill/sub weapon is amazing. I loved the Versus mode of this game, too.

I would say that Metal Wolf Chaos was my favorite Mech game. Also, for Zone of Enders. I liked the references to it in Metal Gear AC!D.

"Who knows, maybe we'll get to see another runner take flight" I'm sure we will, as a freemium mobile game or pachinko machine. Hopefully Kojima can get a spiritual successor going once he's done with Konami.

This reminds me of the multiplayer part of "ZOE 2" always adhere to the "Dragonball Z - Raging blows 1-2" or "Rise of incarnates". I am almost certain that served the "ZOE" Multiplayer submission

I always thought there was so much potential in this franchise. I loved that one tid bit they through out in idolo how the humans who grew up on mars were exposed to less gravity so they were just flat out weaker than earthlings. Political oppression as well as physical inferiority, and yet they're leading OF development. Literal brains vs brawn. LEVs vs OFs.

OMG i never knew there was a sequel. I loved the first one when i played it as a kid, i feel like i missed out on the superior version of it. I would cream my pants if they'd release the HD collection on PC or on Vita.
