While the photos are clearly from Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (or "ANUBIS: Zone of the Enders" in Japan), at this time it is uncertain whether both ZOE1 and ZOE2 are getting the VR treatment, or if this remaster is exclusively for ZOE2, where fans will have to bust out their PS3/360 consoles if they still want to enjoy ZOE1. More updates as they come in.
Update: Full versions of the trailers have been added for each region.
