Zone of the Enders HD Collection (PS3/360) - Release date, details, screenshots, etc

720p and no anti aliasing? :\
Japanese game on the PS3 alright.
At least they didn't release super sampled shots.

Hopefully the full game releases with some AA, this is a big bother to me on some PS3 titles because I play close to my monitor.

Really looking forward to playing this.

Doesn't look very impressive to me, but they were always a sight to behold in motion, I imagine that'll be true still.

royal treatment for this series when Silent Hill 2 and 3 deserved it so much more. :(

I think I can deal with no AA. As long as the framerate is locked.

Being cheap on the SH collection wouldn't make Kojima angry, Konami knows when to pick their battles.

It'll look fine, I'm sure at a smooth 60 fps.

Shame they couldn't be bothered to add in some FXAA, though.

I'm thrilled that they decided to re-render the cutscenes, though.

Are the anime scenes not completely remade?
I think it was just the opening. Mr. Kojima mentioned supervising the work handled by SUNRISE Inc., for that purpose of redoing an introduction movie:

Twitter / Kojima_Hideo: サンライズさんと制作
http://twitter.com/Kojima_Hideo/status/160267213734027265

But remember that he also talked about "high-resolutionazing", as it was translated, the old animated cut-scenes:

Twitter / Kojima_Hideo: Movieのアニメパート

I'm late! Now I see the new information duckroll posted already explains this.

More details: http://www.konami.jp/zoe_hd/products.html

- They are releasing a variety of models and action figures the ZoE series in June and July as well.

- Both the Idolo OVA and the Dolores,i TV anime will be released on blu-ray.

- They are also releasing a new music album with remixes, as well as re-releasing the Anubis OST.

- I was wrong about the platforms, it's only coming out on PS3 and 360 in October. I see no Vita announcement at all. Lol.

- The retail release will be 3,980yen for PS3 and 360 versions, and there will be a PSN digital version going for 3,480yen. They also plan on releasing it on XBLA, but the date and price is not confirmed at this time.

- 8,980yen will get you the Premuim Package.

That box is fantastic. Really awesome design.

Japanese game on the PS3 alright.
Japan on the whole seems to be against the notion of AA.
There are plenty of Japanese games on PS3 with AA. I'd say the ratio is about the same as for western games.
One thing that is truly unique to (some) Japanese devs is not using texture filtering.

Gust uses it quite a bit! Some of the smoothest looking games I've seen.
Gust is at the forefront, with every single one of their games featuring 4xMSAA. But there are also games released by Square-Enix, Capcom and Konami that use varying degrees of AA.

Gotta be really honest, I played the game quite a bit but I didn't really "appreciate" it or "get into it". Hopefully with this I will be able to do so.

Bluepoint's developing, right? I hope the translation/porting is just as good as MGS HD was.
 
The "problem" was/is, that the SH games never ever came close to the popularity of the MGS series. The PS2 SH games were beautiful and had great atmosphere. They were a bunch of very talented developers, just because they have been disbanded doesn't mean they aren't talented. How many studio's have been buried this gen? But i'm pretty confident that if Team Silent still existed they wouldn't have released that piece of turd called SH HD Collection, not in that state. Masahiro Ito, the art director for SH2 & 3 called the HD collection poor and was surprised it was released in that state and he has been criticizing the HD collections for weeks, especially denouncing the new textures.

What? Where on earth did I say they weren't talented? You seem to have completely missed my point, which was that Kojima has a ton of influence within Konami, to the point where Kojima Productions has basically taken over a sizeable chunk of the old KCEJ. And no, Team Silent never would've been given the sort of control Kojima had over the MGS and ZOE Collections. Konami's current reaction to the crappy state of the SH Collection should tell you all you need to know, they don't give a damn.
 
I've got all these HD remake collection on my back burner, but I'm starting to lose track of them all. So far there's...

Devil May Cry Collection
Metal Gear Solid Collection
Zone of the Enders Collection
Silent Hill Collection
Prince of Persia Collection
Sly Cooper Collection

Any others?

I NEED this so badly. Hopefully it will come to the US (which it wont) or I will probably just import it.

Can't seem to find a similar list for the Xboxen.

While I own and have played both (and didn't think they were that good), I will buy this for sure. I need to give it another shot.
