ZoE1 should be called "Fly Back and Forth Game and hit []"
I don't think ZOE2 is even six hours long. If it weren't for the AI and Catapult battle, I could probably beat the game in absolutely no time at all.
I liked the flying element of the first game. It really made it feel like you had a giant robot inside of a huge space colony.

Looks very cool. I always loved the clinical, minimalist art, like PN.03 and Vanquish. Scales very nicely, as there aren't ugly blurry textures everywhere, just cleaner, sharper lines. Never played ZOE 2, but I loved the first one.
Anyone ever play Polyphony's Omega Boost? Quite similar, although I remember OB having more emphasis on ranged combat.

I had forgotten about Omega Boost, loved played that back in the day. Agree with poster above it was more like Panzer.

Never played a ZoE game before. Still, color me interested.

There are always options like PlayAsia, NCSX, CDJapan...
(Unless they are exclusive to the Konami store or something)

I loooove Zone of the Enders. Also, the music! Oh, the music. <3
I remember when I found out that the title screen music was flowing destiny backwards in ZoE1.

So I got interested in the collection and started to check out a Lets Play of ZoE 1 on YouTube.
The OP says:
"- Animation FMVs have been remastered in HD using upscaling techniques (they weren't made in HD)"
I think I only saw terrible CG cutscenes in ZoE so far. Are they redoing them as well?
The voice acting is atrocious, but I guess it would be too much to redo it? And the draw distance seems to be pretty bad as well, but not that surprising for an early PS2 game. Any changes about that?

We don't know what they did with the CG cutscenes of ZOE. Judging by how little anyone cares about that game (KojiPro first) I say they upscaled them and called it a day.
The voice acting is probably the same. They listed the voice cast on the website and it's the same one as for the original release.
Can't say about the draw distance though...

me neither. how do they compare to other action games?

Man, not redoing the CG cutscenes would be pretty bad, imo. They already look like mid-90s CG. The voice acting is also pretty cringe worthy. I can't see how this is going to sell well.

I doubt they will even re-render the CG cutscenes, just upscale them and call it a day.

After the anime intro announcement I kinda hoped they'd replace the CG cutscenes with anime sequences too. Giving the game an even bigger mech anime feel.
Well I thought the first was mediocre. The 2nd runner is pretty amazing. While the combat isn't at DMC3/NGB level, it is pretty good. The missions, the music, set pieces, are amazing. I reminds me a lot of Ace Combat 4 in many ways, but with more enjoyable combat.

Played a bit of the demo (chose ZOE 2) at E3 today and it was not 60 fps. It basically retained the same frame rate as the PS2 games (slowdown and all) and the up-rez'd FMVs didn't look too hot (pics were redrawn like shown before though).
Kinda killed the wind out of my sails for it, but since it's gonna be awhile before it comes out, I'm hoping they can hit that 60 fps like they mentioned on their site.

Didn't Konami have a very rough build of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection at the previous E3?

Those FMV's are a really nice upscale relative to a lot of crap that has come out on bluray of late. I'm both surprised and impressed they put the effort in.

Too bad they didn't do anything for ZoE 1.

I'm purely talking about the 2D animated content that they showed. I take it ZoE only has CG cutscenes or something? I can't remember, I haven't played that game since Primary School...

Vita version is still confirmed I thought? To me this is a good fit on the Vita. Unless they put in 3D support, then I will get it on the PS3.
Hoping they fix this.
I DO remember an older build of Peace Walker HD running at a stupidly low framerate while the final build was 60 fps so hopefully the same thing occurs here.

Yes I will! While ZoE 1 wasn't such a good game by itself compared to the second one, it had alot of its own charm being on a Jupiter colony and learning quite a bit about the ZoE universe.

I would like to play this on Vita too.
It's base was 60 fps, but it was full of constant slowdown.
ZOE1 was definitely a perfect 60 fps, however.

i do hope that these slowdowns doesn't exist in the HD collection
Yea I just checked and the Premium Edition is sold out everywhere it seems. Even the 360 version weirdly enough.
