According to a post on the PS3Forum Duckroll from neogaf says that, next week's issue of Famitsu states: "High Speed Robot Battle returns..... on the PS3"

Will this be a new Zone of Enders

This is... D: WOW!

I hope it's ZOE3!


By the way -- it seems like Hideo released ZOE either before or after an MGS release...so lately I've been wondering what Hideo's actions will be now since MGS4 is out and it doesn't seem like the series will continue. I mean -- what else does Hideo have to do right now?

EDIT :: I think it's a good chance it's ZOE3 because "High Speed Robot Battle returns..... " is extremely similar to some text in ZOE2's intro I think...

No wait! This was written on the cover of...

Ok -- the text I bolded there....I could almost swear I saw that written somewhere in ZOE/2.

The back of ZOE2's cover has "Take control of a lightning fast mechanized robot in..."

The back of ZOE's cover has "Playing as the reluctant hero Leo Stenbuck, you'll command a giant, mechanized robot into high-speed, aerial combat against a heavily armed, rogue military regime."

EDIT2 :: YES! It's about 7 minutes into the ZOE2 intro where it will write "HIGH SPEED ROBOT ACTION" onto the screen!

EDIT3 :: Uh..

EDIT4 :: http://www.konami.jp/e3/ -- nothing about ZOE3.

I hate to make a double post, but details are really sketchy. I've been doing some research lately and take a good look at the following links!

The ones I highlighted in bold support the following citation:

Comments: I'm pretty confident Hideo's priority is on ZOE3. The citations certainly prove it (and they're pretty fresh!).

Triple post.

So, with the silence of this topic, and it having been well over a week now, I assume its safe to assume this didn't amount to anything?

So what were they talking about, if anyone knows, out of interest :v

I disagree -- I just think that either nobody checked these forums or nobody cared to reply.

What's so confusing? All you have to do is read through the links (and especially my previous post in this thread). It's pretty clear and obvious that Hideo said he will be doing ZOE3 and that he wants to. And some of this information is only 2 to 4 months old. Hideo himself said these things!

The opening of this topic is : "High Speed Mecha game to be revealed in next week's Famitsu"

Which would have meant confirmation if it had been ZOE 3, not months old information that Kojima considers ZOE to be high on his priorities (That I already knew about).

But I assume that since no mention was made since the issue in question was released, that it had nothing to do with ZOE at all, and when they said High speed mecha they were referring to something else.

Alright, that's ok.

Just in my opinion I think everything still adds up that Hideo is working on ZOE3 (doesn't have to publicize every single move he makes) or around the time he is heading into it.

If you disagree, that's ok. These are just my own conclusions and speculations then.

Oh no, I get that. It's highly plausible given what he has said in past interviews that ZOE is a pretty good possibility now.

Although I don't want to go and get myself excited until some concrete information comes to light.

I just wanted to know specifically about the announcement in Famitsu.

Still no word on any ZOE mention in the issue. I'll stay on the lookout, though.
