Zone of the Enders: HD Collection Review | GameSpot

GameSpot: "Oddly, the PlayStation 3 suffers more than the Xbox 360 version, dropping even more frames and producing odd graphical effects related to the oft-used motion-blur. Replaying the PlayStation 2 version after spending time with the HD Collection emphasizes the frame-rate discrepancy; it feels like it's on fast-forward by comparison. The remastered version is completely enjoyable and playable, but it fails to improve, or even maintain, the speed of the original SD version."

Ouch, hopefully if there's a Vita version, it'll be done by a different studio.

Blacktric4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

Ouch? Have you seen the "The Bad" part?

"The Bad
Poor frame rate No online integration Clunky dialogue Repetitive gameplay."

This guy just reviewed the games themselves, not the HD collection. There's barely any mention of the technical stuff other than "eughhh FPS dips a lot, eughh there's a lot of blur effects". It's mostly about games themselves which are nearly a decade old. And it's safe to assume that the guy never liked both games in the first place.

"Thankfully, both games are entrenched in the nimble maneuverability of your Frame, Jehuty, as it gracefully charges, flips, and pans around its targets. Were it not for these moments, neither Zone of the Enders game would have a leg to stand on."

Pff.

does Gamespot hate Japanese games?

Blacktric4221d ago (Edited 4221d ago )

They did give Metal Gear Solid 4 a 10/10.

Vita version is hopefully better

r214221d ago

It should be, it has more RAM than ps3 and xbox 360 so it should handle the HD collection abit better than the console games...hopefully.

Summons754221d ago

You must be a terrible person to give such master pieces a terrible score...

Kalowest4221d ago

"No online integration, Clunky dialogue, Repetitive gameplay" WTF, This review sucks.

Alos884221d ago

"No online integration"? What kind of idiot lowers the score of a game just because it has no multiplayer?

3-4-54221d ago

somebody who doesn't comprehend the value of a solid , quality single player experience.

Quickstrike4221d ago

Just for that alone, the reviewer lost all credibility.

Knushwood Butt4220d ago

I don't remember seeing Mario Galaxy scored down for that.

Zone of the Enders: HD Collection - Still the Best Way to Enjoy the Classic Series

More than a decade since release, Zone of the Enders: HD Collection remains your best opportunity to enjoy the games on modern consoles.

ZeekQuattro347d ago

I loved 2nd Runner back in the day on the PS2.I tiried playing it again years later on the PS4 and I just couldn't get into it. I don't know what happened. The game just felt janky to me.

VersusDMC347d ago

I have the ps4 edition of 2nd runner(Mars) and it runs great. But i guess if you want to play the original you need the collection.

The war and taking down the fleet sections are highlights that i still remember to this day. Maybe Armoured Core VI will have some dope sections like that.

Knightofelemia347d ago

A series that needs a new entry

gamerz347d ago

Runs surprisingly well on the Steam Deck. Doesn't feel too old or constricted on the small screen.

sertz346d ago

Absolutely loved these games. Bought the first ZoE because of the MGS2 demo, and ended up loving the game that came with the demo! Haha but ZoE 2 has a special place in my heart. The mix of 3D and anime style cell shading at the time on Ps2 was NEXT LEVEL. I beat it in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon and will always remember that game. Hard as sh** but improved on the first in every way and had some very cool easter eggs.

Mulaka looks interesting. Never played a ZoE game and SS2 is prob my favorite of the SS games.

Lightning771002d ago

Chaos Bane and Zone Of The Enders for me. Personally, not a bad month.

Christopher1001d ago

Chaosbane is a great get, IMHO. Definitely one of those "not a must-buy but definitely want to try" games. It's got the usual Warhammer game baseline of rerunning missions and whatnot, but a different style of diablo-esque than normal that was enjoyable.

franwex1002d ago

I have owned Zone of the Enders collection. I encourage you to try it. It’s corny in a good way and not very long games.

Germaximus1002d ago

Chaosbane is pretty cool if you're into games like Diablo

JayRyu1002d ago (Edited 1002d ago )

I own ZOE physical nice to have the digital to downloaded to launch when I want to play it. The same with Samurai Showdown.

Looking forward to trying out ChaosBane

Good month for GWG
