Huge difference here. The third game was always planned and wasn't possible due to low sales of VLR in Japan, the fans pressure towards the publishers just helped Uchikoshi to get some money to end its series. Even the 999 remaster was planned a long time ago for the Vita to get the full series.

Now that it's done, he's already working on a new project, we got a first image a few days ago... Zero Escape is over, it's time to move to something else.

We dont know that.ZTD released on June, so that gives a bit less than a year to develop the collection that, lets be frank, is made up of a remaster of a VN which is as simple as it gets to develop(since 80% of the work is done, which is the writing, and the art is really "simple"), and the other part is a straight port.So the collection could very well have been made as response from the ZTD sales.Not to mention that this comes off after the franchise was supposedly "dead".Why waste extra resources on a stagnant franchise?

 

Yes, we kinda do know that. Uchikoshi talks quite a lot with its community. He hinted at the 999 remaster for a long time, even before the ZTD release. We also had voice samples for this remaster long ago... The only surprise about this remaster was the PS4 version and the fact that VLR is in it. The 999 Vita remaster is an old project. 

 

And Zero Escape is over, even if we lack a couple of answers (that we'll surely get in a future FAQ like VLR). They could make a barely related game using the ZE name, but that's it, they can't make a new game shoehorned weirdly in an already over story. 

 

EDIT: ZTD release on June 28th 2016, the 999 remaster was officially announced with a voice sample on July 2nd 2016. ZTD success really was incredible and fast for them to launch the remaster and begin the voices recording in less than a week..
