Give me a Z.O.E. style Metal gear-ish game instead.
Land-based combat the style of a certain sequence in a certain ps3 game but still fast-paced.
With that said, I don't mind a new Z.O.E. but having just cleared 2nd runner, I felt the story of Jehuty was more or less over. No loose threads. #kojimaproductions
Not necessarily Metal Gear, but Metal Gear-ish, as I tried to point out. Land-based mech combat. I have nothing against a new Z.O.E. but I can't see how they would create a new chapter seeing that the bad guys are gone, the superweapon gone, the war is over and Mars is independent (and if not, Earth would be chanceless since the only final generation frames left are in the possession of people allied or affiliated with Mars. #kojimaproductions
It's not like more enemies can't be created. The story line could very easily take place farther in the future where things have changed immensely. Or it could very well have a new story line independent of the first 2, which would be pretty damn cool too. #kojimaproductions
So, HE wants to make one. His STAFF wants to make one. His FANS want them to make one. So... Why are they still endlessly flogging the MGS horse to within an inch of it's life?
Please, for the love of the gods of Olympus, make a freaking ZOE game! The universe is in universal agreement, how many more signs do you want!? #kojimaproductions
@PapaBear434: Because of all the people in the universe, only Kojima can sway the emotions of millions of people with but a few words. Now you must see, that he is descended from the gods of Olympus. That and he loves teasing. #kojimaproductions
It says something about the neglect of a series whenever somebody mentions it and the first thing that comes to mind is a remix of a song from the game rather than a song from the game #kojimaproductions
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Have you heard The Police's cover of Puff Daddy's I'll Be Missing you? Or maybe you prefer Daft Punk's remix of Kanye West's 'Stronger'?
Personally, I think that Queen and David Bowie ripped off Vanilla Ice's riff in 'Ice Ice Baby.'
What is this? Is he already starting the hype? Is this how he uses everyone (e.g. fans, media, own colleagues) to start bugging the-powers-that-be to give the go-signal for ZOE3?

@reekon: It's because he doesn't have any ideas. I mean, we would be "waiting" for Metal Gear games if he didn't have any ideas, right, and we've been getting at least one per year for the last several years. #kojimaproductions
@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Come on. Run out of ideas for mechas? Even Macross and Gundam can always find ways to create a new season.
How about exploring that angle with Vic Viper? Merge Gradius and ZOE's stories. Heck, add Snake into the mix by letting the next ZOE have Metal Gear roots or features.
So, about the next Metal Gear game after Rising...
BTW: Hideo Kojima *STILL* has to make more Metal Gear games until Howard Stringer is removed (preferably by force) from the Chairman and CEO positions of SONY Corp. (or is at least stringed and quartered in Akihabara) #kojimaproductions

Zone of Enders 2: The Second Runner remains, to my mind, the best mecha game ever made, though it was an epic fight with Mechwarrior 2. The art style is gorgeous, the combat is delightful and empowering, the music is beautiful. I was very excited for Metal Gear Solid 4. I would be MORE excited for Zone of Enders 3.
Kojima-san, I know you're not in control of this. I know you're more or less just working on what you are told to, and that's the only way it can be. But any control that you have, any power you can exercise to make this happen... I will lend you the full weight of my support, and of my real life friends who buy games as per my recommendation.

@Dangeresque (Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more): I played the first Z.O.E. in one sitting, start to finish. I rented it for the MGS 2 demo, but I'll be damned if the game didn't suck me in. I remember being depressed by the ending, but it must have been like 6 or 7 years ago, now.
I never played the 2nd one, and I have a feeling that a copy would be impossible to find nowadays. Your enthusiasm makes me want to hunt it down. #kojimaproductions
There is 1 in stock on Amazon.com but it is listed as $150!!! WOW ([www.amazon.com])
Though if you go to that link there are copied listed as "Used" in the Marketplace for $20.99 and above. For "Very Good" condition your talking $30, for "Like New" $50.
It's also available on the Amazon.com Marketplace used for anywhere between $20 and $50 going from "Good" condition to "Very Good" to "Like New". OR You can get the ONE new copy left in stock for $150........or not.
Those in the UK can also get it from Amazon themselves at .co.uk for £13.75 NEW. #kojimaproductions
@Dangeresque (Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more): I'm glad that kotaku readers show ZOE a lot of love. The Action Button dot net guys totally slammed ZOE2 for being cheesy and hamfisted which was sad because, while I love their reviews, I completely disagreed... ZOE2 is a masterpiece and Dingo Egret is a great name. #kojimaproductions
@Miksho: *Pulls out his second copy of ZOE2* Give me your address. Right now. (=P)
But yeah, DigitalTwisted has got your back. I really hope you can snag a copy, it's one of the greatest games on the PS2- a remark I do not make lightly. #kojimaproductions

Sorry for the double post I posted the first one, then it magically disappeared on me, wasn't even showing when I hit Show Hidden Threads, so then I posted a second one and here I come back tonight and they are both there. Typical LOL. But yeah I got everyone's back, where ever there are under-appreciated games for sale but under the radar I SHALL BE THERE!! ;-) #kojimaproductions

Agree, either a large leap in time forward or my idea of a new franchise.
Neither will be easy.. #kojimaproductions

No, I don't think so. Even the gods of Olympus weren't this big of dicks.
