Wait I was too quick to post my excitement before.....ancient civilation? WHAT THE FUCK? Dumb....fucking DUMB!! I wanna see ZOE 3 starring Dingo or adult Leo, blowing shit up in space and on Mars.
God dammit Kojima, quit being influenced by Assassin's Creed so much!

Good lord I can't wait until an artbook with all the concept sketches is released. Holy sweet mecha designs.

Man just hearing "Leo" makes me cringe. I know he had a bit role in the 2nd one, but man in the first game that VA'ing made me want to stab myself in the eardrums.
Now that I say that, both games would be better played on mute as far as the dialogue and va'ing go. I hope for a whole new cast and maybe Kojima figures out how to write dialogue this time around? HAHAHA who am I kidding, let's just consider ourselves lucky to have neat-o flying robots with great gameplay.
Also, an escaflowne vibe would be completely awesome.

The debris at the base of the statue might hint that it's based in a post-apocalyptic world, maybe the orbital frames are a relic of the past... And if the skull is a human skull, we'll be seeing orbital frames that are much smaller than the ones in ZOE 1-2.

Its hard to get excited for Japanese game announcements these days when 95% of time they are released on portable consoles.

The lack of "cockpits" may also allude to the reduced size of the orbital frames.
keltickennedy
Member
yeah...where are the COCKpits ZOE is known for?
There's that artwork pointing to there being humans underneath the armor plating.
With the bombshell about it being set in ancient Egypt, maybe KojiPro is going to have their own twist on Egyptian mythology? I mean, all of the major orbital frames are already named after Egyptian gods; you might as well go full hog with it.

No.
I won't get caught in the hype matrix until I see the real game video come out.
I won't do this to myself.
....PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME.

Maybe it accidentally travels back in time and the OFs are actually the Egyptian gods.

Someone at Konami needs to hire you.

This sounds really interesting, I will definitely be getting the hd collection as I never knew about the games when they came out originally. Listening to flowing destiny on mgs4 is what introduced to the series.

This is not project ogre is it?

That's why they're re-releasing the ZoE games on current consoles, IMO. If they sell well enough (yeah, right) and can show the Konami suits some good numbers, this new project might get into full production.
There's still plenty of time for this one to die. It sounds very similar to the BG&E2 situation where it's in the works but no one has any idea how far it will go.
Basing the decision to make a sequel based on sales of ports is so dumb.

I can see this...I was on the fence about getting the ZOE HD collection since I have a BC PS3 and own both the PS2 games, but now I plan on double-dipping to support this.

Maybe they got worry about the "not gayz"
There was a list posted on GAF a few times of the franchises last generation which had entries that sold over a million units but hadn't got a current generation iteration, and ZoE was one of the few on there. I don't think Konami really need the HD Collection to give the go ahead for a sequel. They're not exactly brimming with million sellers.

Depends on the sale numbers. If 500k sold copies is enough for Konami to acknowledge that people are still interested in the franchise, it might not be such a bad idea. The games bombed on the PS2, didn't they? If so, then you can hardly blame them. Now if they expect to sell 1M+, then agree with you.

Wait... what... a new Zoe...?
I wonder what the exact sales numbers are. ZOE1 might have only succeeded because it had the crazy hyped MGS2 demo included with it. I remember reading somewhere that ZOE2 didnt really sell well at all.
Yeah, 2 did a lot worse I believe.
In which dimension is ZoE a million seller? I would like to visit, because it sounds like a nice place.
That's what I'd read, but googling it now, I can't find anything about it's sales numbers.In which dimension is ZoE a million seller? I would like to visit, because it sounds like a nice place.
ZoE1 sold a pathetic 120k in Japan. So it would have had to sell a shitload everywhere else to remotely make up for it, and I really don't think it did. ZoE2 sold even worse.

Did Konami botch the marketing that badly for the series? It seemed like they were treating it pretty seriously with the anime tie-ins, but to see it do so poorly in Japan is pretty damn disheartening.
