"I'm not saying it's ZoE3.... but it's ZoE3."

:D

[edgefusion]

:O Today is the best day of my life.

[rollingstart]

I think this brings up an interesting point. What makes you think it wouldn't be about robots fighting in space? Did space not exist in ancient eras? :)

This can totally be the Turn A Gundam of ZoE. Trick us into thinking it's set in the past when it's really the distant future.

[Wyndstryker]

I will be cautiously optimistic and will only believe when a copy of the game is being purchased.

[/XX/]

They have acted pretty cautiously on everything related to this franchise lately, but maybe Kojima Productions themselves are underestimating how attractive a new game can be, like how the enthusiasm from the public on the TGS 2011 SPECIAL STAGE event for this series they organized apparently caught them by surprise.

Maybe they have been burned out by the average sales of the previous games (I don't know what were KONAMI expectations exactly), and thought people would have somewhat forget about Z.O.E having passed all this time, but I think all this wait has instead sparked the interest of many.

[Don'tBeWeird]

If this is announced exclusively for the 3DS, I along with many other fans of the series, will be disappointed. No one wants a new ZOE game that will look worse than the first two games. The 3DS turned Snake Eater into an unplayable mess. Oh, and saying that the 3DS will do it justice because the PS2 did, is a poor argument; When ZOE2 was released it was one of the best looking games on the planet. If ZOE appears exclusively on the 3DS, it won't be one of the best looking games on the planet. This deserves to be played on a big screen.

Anyway, this news is massively exciting!

ZoE3, but not announcing it as ZoE3.

To me, all the OF concepts look more like monsters carrying ancient armour and weapons.

I'm sure they're very passionate about this franchise themselves, and they were/are trying to measure fan response to it until now. Now they've moved on to next stage where they want to see how that fan response pans out in actual sales from the hd collection and are preparing to build further on that with this enders project announcement.

Im not a fan of the skull on his chest but everything else looks so good.

Yeah, because MGS3 port was 3DS fault, not because of it's low-budget-i-dont-care nature.

[BlazingDarkness]

Sugoi

Pretty certain this has begun actual development

Kojima will probably go quiet about the idea for a year or so, and then BAM crazy launch trailer that blows everyone away

The problem is that Konami is a business, and that a ZOE sequel is not likely to turn a profit if it's developed on a full HD retail budget.

A console DD release would be more plausible, though.

OMG OMG OMG OMG



I had this one just for you ZoE <3~

Dat Shinkawa art.

1) Fox Engine isn't on 3DS, which is what they showed the renders in. This obviously won't be a 3DS game.

2) MGS3 3DS is a surprisingly decent port, leagues better than MGS2 Xbox was. The Naked Sample shows a ground up 3DS MGS would probably blow the doors off anything PS2 could manage anyway.

[M°°nblade]

holy fuck shit yes!

MEGATON.

Yeah, they sure are eager to show what they can do, and at the same time extremely expectant of the reactions.

I hope we see something at E3.

Oh god, I hope we see something.

Remember this?



Dunno if it was just trolling or was there anything related to that?

ZoE sequel... how I've missed thee!

[BadWolf]

Extremely happy to hear of this but not so happy at the long ass time we will have to wait for this (if it gets made at all), considering how productive KojiPro has been this gen.

What is this URL that Jirō Tsubuyaki has posted on messages from his twitter account? I've been trying to access it from the platforms it mentions, but I only see that same message every time:

That's just the KojiPro smartphone site. You get that message because it detected that you're not using a phone.

Haha, I also posted something about this on another site and cited duckroll and Gaf. =P

But the thing is that I've also accessed it from a mobile phone, and without modifying the 'User Agent' option from the browser.

Could someone try accessing it as well, please?

...Please. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE let this be real and come out!

SRPG spinoff by AC!D team. :3

I want an AC!D 3/spiritual sequel more than I want a ZOE3. :(

[jett]

What is this weirdness. The orbital frames in ZOE1/2 weren't ancient relics.

Anyway, I do hope it becomes a real game.

Oh. My. God. I want that.

[rollingstart]

If this game is real, I really hope they have orbital frame capes like Crossbone Gundam.

with how Konami is handling Silent Hill, maybe we'll get a turn based card horror game next.

[Chacranajxy]

It'll have better combat than the last.... than all of them.

[Hot Coldman]

Hopefully this won't be MML3 all over again. (I think will get made, Konami has nothing else going on and this would be a good way to start their next-gen.)

[Infinite Justice]

If this game is real, I really hope they have orbital frame capes like Crossbone Gundam.

One of the most boss things i have ever seen in a mech anime imo

[Despera]

Lovely art.

Any kind of footage would be more than enough for me even if the game won't be coming out any time soon. Kojima and co's initiative shows their determination to see this project through, which gives me some hope.

[Meowtor]

I read this at work and proceeded to flip my chair in my office and scream FUCK YES..

here is hoping I dont get fired. D:

[Boogdud]

Looks like Shinkawa "Izubichi'd" his design quite a bit. Strange.

Also, no Crotch-pit. Which helps the design quite a bit. I like it, not sure if I like the sculls and "organic" look as much as I liked the old design for Jehuty though.

[33-Hit-Combo]

Please please please please please! Best news of the year!

[Konosuke]

I hope we get to see a direct feed image of that Fox Engine render.
