Autumn?
I can live with that. I just want to finally play ZOE2 already

I can't wait. Never finished ZOE1. Never played 2
Everyone should finish ZOE just to experience the incredible blueballing the rest of us got back then.
"Finally, an awesome boss fi-WHAT."

Now to dance to this awesome news with this awesome song.
I was a kid when I beat ZoE1. Had to be like one of the first games I rented for my PS2. I was really confused by the ending and searched the internet just to find if I missed something.
You know, even if everything else about the first game was kinda sucky, it did have an awesome soundtrack.
Title (man, if this didn't get you excited for the game...)
Global 1
Boss (SO GOOD)
Anubis (made the blue balls so much worse)

Looking forward to seeing more of the port quality before then
but yeah I'll probably pick this up. Not much else I'm looking forward to in that release window

Any guesses as to what the Premium Package for this game will have? I think they had some sort of bas relief-type plaque for the first 2 games, wonder if they'll try something like that?
Well the MGS HD Edition Premium Packages both had CDs, and either had an action figure or an amazing artbook. I'll take another badass hardcover artbook, personally.

I hope there is more to this than just HD, already have ZOE2.
I'm still going to buy it just to play ZOE2 without the slowdown, shit will be glorious.

So upon buying this, should I play both ZoE 1 and 2, or just jump into ZoE 2?

Why wouldn't you expect 60 fps at least? Both games ran at 60 fps in the first place (although, in ZOE2's case, with some notable sequences of slowdown).
Nah, it would frequently drop from 60 fps to 30 fps but it didn't often go below 30.
It definitely had a base framerate of 60 and it held it a decent amount of the time during many parts of the game. I'm hoping they correct this in the HD version and lock it to 60.
ZOE 1, on the other hand, held a perfect 60 fps back on PS2.

I'd try play them in order since ZoE1 is harder to enjoy once you've played the superior second game.

The first game is worth playing.
I think the first game is more interesting than the 2nd in regards to collateral damage and civilian casualties being a factor to consider in most stages.
Made it feel like a better gundam game than gundam games to me in that it forced me to think like the actual boy in the robot. Fighting in ways to minimize surrounding damage and luring enemies into more open areas to fight.
The 2nd game addressed alot of the flaws of the first, but I was disappointed to see it almost completely dropped the collateral damage concept as that was what ZoE was to me at the time.

So what month is Autumn?
Really? I was pretty young when I played ZoE2 and things like framerate didn't really bother me back then, except with ZOE2. Pretty much anytime you used the multiple laser thingy and destroyed the environment the game went into slowmotion mode. With the multiple flying battleship mission having low framerates the whole mission through(it was the best mission though imo).
ZOE1 was essentially just 1v1's though.

Awe inspiring.
which version did you play?the original japanese and us versions had framerate problems,but it was improved for the pal version and the rerelease in japan
Versus mode never had online in the first place, so I don't know if they'd go to the trouble of doing that. But it should definitely be in there.
Pal version. It was mostly slow motion that bothered me not necessarily a low FPS. Was the slow motion a way to keep the FPS high when the engine couldn't handle it?

Looks like there will be a public ZOE event on May 25th in Tokyo. The HD Collection will make it's debut there.

I want a damn release date already!
Been a huge fan of ZOE2 since it's initial European release. I played ZOE before it but can't go back to it anymore.
I'm really, really looking forward to this. Being at last year's TGS Kojima's panel about ZOE reminded me how crazy I could be about this series. Well, me and the hundreds of Japanese folks around me. I'll take anything I get!

Good to know. If they have a stream of it, I'll definitely be watching

Can't wait, I never got round to picking up ZoE2 when it came out so definitely will either be picking this up at release or put it on my wish list for Christmas and hope someone picks it up.
Though I wish Amazon.co.uk would catch up with listing stuff like Amazon.com.

I don't even like ZOE and I'm thinking about getting this.
I wonder if they're going to improve the Mars melee battle's frame rate.
Aren't both games being remade in the FOX Engine for this?
I loved ZOE1 but never got to play 2nd Runner. They're both gonna look awesome... :3
Hopefully it isn't a completely faithful remake and Konami actually imrpove the framerate issues in ZOE2nd (I watched my friend play them crazy-packed missions, impressive but pushed the PS2 too far methinks)...
Most likely Day 1 for me... :3
O-O~
