Let ZOE 3 be true!!! Cmon Kojima!! Zoe2 Was so freakin awesome!!

[Lifendz]

=ownage. Lost what? Blue Dragon who? Exactly.

[sonarus]

lol i'm going to remain skeptical but ps3 seems to be raining down exclusives. A lot of people wnt see this yr as the best yr in gaming since most of the great titles will be exclusive to ps3 but i sure will. Hopefully next yr can top this yr as well

[socomnick]

lifend why do you came Zoe with lost odysseys or blue dragon ? They are completely different type of games.

[Bonsai1214]

i've wanted zoe3 the moment i laid my hands on zoe2. i can't even begin to imagine the kind of visuals kojima will get out of the ps3 with a updated ZOE engine. the first two games were among the best looking on ps2, the second looked better than some first year 360 and ps3 games.

the threat ring idea implemented in mgs4 is a revamped ring system from the first two zoe games, just goes to show that everything is being refined and retuned.

Resistance 2 in July? i find that hard to believe, maybe a demo but not the game.

The main developer (Ted something) said just the other day they're aiming for November!

[THE_JUDGE]

Resistance 2 in July, then look for KZ2 and LBP in the fall to Christmas range.

[VaeVictus]

That's right, you heard it here first.

[Bebedora]

I raise your Halo 4-6 with FF XIV & XV out next week - on PSN!

[ry-guy]

Sir,

I call your bid and I announce that Duke Nukem Forever and Starcraft: Ghost will be released on Steam within the next month.

[desolationstorm]

ZOE3 oh snap I love the ZOE series though Ive only played them on my friends ps2. I will totally buy the game though if it does come out.

Why do we have a rumor on Phil Harrison when we know he left already?

[Fishy Fingers]

The rumour is him joining >Infogrames< not leaving Sony.

[Qbanboi]

What ZOE3 stand for?

[Bazookajoe_83]

Zone of enders 3

[andron]

It would rock on PS3 ;)

[AlterEgo]

Resistance has already been confirmed by Ted Price for November

[butterfinger]

I truly wish EA would quit buying all of their competitors. It really is alarming how they are being allowed to just take over these smaller companies. It's almost as if they are trying to become the Microsoft of development. The only problem is, they are just homogenizing everything and taking the character and life out of all these newly acquired companies.

[phalanges]

some pretty far fetched than others (EA buying Ubisoft), thinking of playing ZOE3 on my PS3 gives me the goosebumps. Get'er done Kojima!

[MK_Red]

I want ZOE3 NOW! I don't care wether it's on PS3 or 360. I just want to play ZOE3 NOW. ZOE1 and 2 ruled.

As for other rumors, I hope EA fails at both.

[bootsielon]

Phil had one of the most enviable positions in gaming, and he goes for bankrupt Infogrames

[SSCOOLCHEA]

CEO do that all the time because its not challenging to them anymore ...PLAYSTATION has destroy everything in sight in his tenure .Now he has to go help another company out and if he succeeds he becomes even more legendary in the industry....lets put it this way would you want to stay at one job all your life ????

on another note ---ZOE 3 hope this is true.....

[TheD_R_E]

Resistance 2 will not come out in July. It is almost a given that Sony wants R2 and possibly KZ2 to go head to head with Gears this holiday season. Sony's big summer release will be MGS4. And as for ZOE3 being a PS3 exclusive, I can definitely see it happening. After all this is a very Japanese styled game and what better platform to put it on than the PS3.

[fopums]

ZOE3!!!!

probably a pipe dream.....but my pants would explode with awesome if it were true/

[DJ]

and even some 360 titles. It was just that insane. I still remember that half-hour battle against hundreds of enemies that literally blew my mind; the story was a huge improvement over part 1 as well.

[Skerj]

ZoE3 would be the most epic mecha game ever created. Remember that battle in ZoE2 at the Aumann Crevasse, with about 1000 OF's that you have to fight? Yeah. ..that was awesome. If they give us Zero Shift from the start omg love.

[Mattguy]

The SECOND kojima finishes his vacation after mgs4-I PRAY he will make a new zone of the enders, best mecha game of all time!(best action game of all time imo but that's because I'm a nerd and prefer robots over ninjas and demons)

[MrWonderful]

just thinking of ZOE3 gets my heart racing

[Ri0tSquad]

Coming to a PS3 near you. Lol, I hope it happens.

[shadowghost752]

Insomniac do gr8 games so i hope EA doesnt trample all over them completely ruining Resistance and Ratchet and Clank, or any other company that Sony doesnt own but uses for exclusives (i.e. Studio Liverpool- the developers of WipEout HD) because they will become multi-platform and that will ruin Sony's 08 and future exclusives

[SSCOOLCHEA]

sony will never let insomniac go....does anybody feel the way i feel about EA..I hate there azz so much i dont buy shiii from them anymore..2007 madden was my last game....

[Asurastrike]

Zone of the Enders 3 exclusive to PS3? I love Kojima.

[pshizle]

i would just buy out EA

in the long run it will help them out!!!

but knowing M$ you just never know...they can be retarded at times...but hey M$ threw the cash at yahoo
