Zone of the Enders HD Collection
Hopefully you aren’t planning on buying this edition of the game just for Metal Gear again.
While Kojima Productions is best known for its work on the Metal Gear series, last generation they were able to sneak out a couple of other titles that took place in a war torn world dominated by mechs, known as Orbital Frames. Zone of the Enders HD Collection brings both of the PlayStation 2 titles in the series onto one disc for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While these games look much better and remain entertaining, they suffer from intermittent frame rate issues, as well as an overall slower pace that diehard fans will immediately notice.
Available now for the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Kojipro is all about the bling.
Limited editions of big, triple-A games aren’t very, well, limited these days. There was a time, however, when the idea of a rare, feature-packed special edition for a game was almost unheard of. Konami helped pave the way for these collector’s gems with the Metal Gear Solid Premium Pack (Japan only) way back in 1997. Since then it’s almost expected that huge releases will have some sort of incentive for rabid fans of a franchise, but that’s not stopping Konami from doing up two of their upcoming releases with all the bells and whistles, as they just announced limited editions for both Zone of the Enders HD Collection and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Oh, and the HD collection gets a release date.
For those wondering when the HD collection of the cult hit series Zone of the Enders would be coming out, we now have a date. It’s October 25th of this year. But that’s one of the more insignificant pieces of news to come out of the Zone of the Enders HD ReBOOT Preview event.
A press release has announced the launch window.
Konami, via a press release, today set a release window for the upcoming HD collection of the Zone of the Enders titles. Expect to pick up a copy of Zone of the Enders HD Collection this fall on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Kojima Productions is understaffed and working on other projects right now, but it's something he has in mind.
Hideo Kojima is a legend in game design, but he’s had a hard time getting away from his most successful franchise, Metal Gear. Since 1987, Kojima has done almost exclusively games that center around the adventures of his beloved character Snake (in various incarnations) and, even though he’s tried to pass the series on to the next generation of Konami designers, he keeps getting pulled back. But that’s not to say that Kojima hasn’t been about to branch out a bit over the years. You may remember his portable game Boktai, which had a direct sequel and a DS follow-up called Lunar Knights. No? Well, you certainly remember Zone of the Enders. You know…the game that was included free with the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo? Despite having that moniker for years, ZoE has its share of dedicated fans, and they will be happy to hear that the series isn’t far from Kojima’s thoughts.
