Production line? All you need is a PRODUCTION LINE?!!

Give me and my buddies a few six-packs, a box of pizza, and a free weekend and we will produce your ZoE3 and thank you for the honor.

A new ZOE is just the thing I want from Konami. I wouldn't even mind if they put the MGS titles on hold to make it.

Metal Gear is over as far as I'm concerned, 4 was a good ending. Now it's getting to be like the Saw movies. And this is coming from a huge Metal Gear fan.

Bring on the new ZOE! Fuck this PSP noise.

ZOE is the best mech series simply because it has literal cockpits.

Only ZOE game I was close to playing was the ZOE 2 demo on a Playstation 2 demo disc and I was quite impressed. It gave me a very "Dragonball Z" type of vibe, which isn't a bad thing.

Too bad I sold my PS2 to help finance my B/C PS3 which then crapped out. I may buy a cheap PS2 again or emulate it on my PC.

Indeed, you got it right. ZOE 2 (the only ZOE I played) plays like Dragonball (Budokai) but the cutscenes ala Manga are phenomenal and the story is quite original, making it really different from DB.

Now, I gotta go listen to its soundtrack :]

I meant to say cutscenes ala Anime.

I love the intro of The 2nd Runner

I never played ZOE. It's always been filed under my "Someday" list.

Seeing as I fully anticipate ZoE3, I can only be a little miffed at Kojima here. It's almost as if he's saying that he doesn't have a choice in what he's working on, only what Konami tells him to. Otherwise, I would have thought that the perfect time to work on ZoE3 or even one of the Boktai games would have been after MGS4 was finished and the production pipelines were relatively free at Kojima Productions. Especially considering that after MGS4 was finished, Kojima originally came out and said that he was done with Metal Gear for the time being (which did change later - at one of the E3's I believe).

By the above logic, if Kojima really wanted to work on a different series than Metal Gear, why not after MGS4? And, if he decided randomly to work on Peace Walker and Rising (and Castlevania), that's fine, I mean, by why them, if he has such a strong desire to work on other titles? And, if it IS Konami pulling the strings on what he's working on, how do we know we'll ever get another ZoE or Boktai game, given how well Metal Gear sells? They may continually want him shelling out new titles, for all we know.

I meant to say "that's fine, I mean, but why them" in the one sentence in the second paragraph. Also, as an addendum to that same line, why did he have to work on those titles now, anyway, if he wanted to work on others so much? He could have easily held off working on Peace Walker and Rising until the completion of something other than Metal Gear, or even had one of his teams starting the work on one of them, and then going to it once it had a decent start and his other new title was finished.

ZOE will be a day-1 purchase for me, but I gotta wonder, how many units it will actually sell.

I mean, people LOVE Shadow of the Colossus but it wasn't a big money maker.

the PS3 Deserves the third runner. I would love to see a game that includes Delores , Jehuty and Anubis. In the whole make believe worlds of Mecha machines they outclass everything ever conceived Even the gundams. Zero shift is no joke. I too wish he could work on this soon.
