Premium Edition needs to come out in the States
This.
I loved this game. One of the few PS2 games that I played that wasn't SOCOM and that PE looks amazing

To be fair, 60 fps was hardly a problem with the first game. It was the actual game part you needed to worry about.
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.ZOE1: maybe 3 hours if you try to do everything; there's really not much else to do once you beat it
ZOE2: about 6 hours and there's really not much in the way of side content until you beat it once; once you do, you unlock some special missions to try out in the main menu, some special bossfights in the single player that are a bit hidden, as well as a pretty spiffy 3D take on Gradius called Zoradius
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.ZoE1 should be called "Fly Back and Forth Game and hit []"
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.
It's Polyphony man, 'tis what they do!OB reminds me more of Panzer Dragoon. it was 60fps on PS1, very impressive.
The Konami Style versions are already out of stock, really?

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?
Never played a ZoE game before. Still, color me interested.
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...
I doubt they will even re-render the CG cutscenes, just upscale them and call it a day.
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.me neither. how do they compare to other action games?
me neither. how do they compare to other action games?
Didn't Konami have a very rough build of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection at the previous E3?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.
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.
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...

will anyone be playing ZOE 1 when this comes out ?
I would like to play this on Vita too.It was Vita version confirmed/dated yet? * please tell me so *
It's base was 60 fps, but it was full of constant slowdown.Wasn't ZOE2 60fps on ps2?
i do hope that these slowdowns doesn't exist in the HD collectionIt's base was 60 fps, but it was full of constant slowdown.
ZOE1 was definitely a perfect 60 fps, however.
