Forums - Gaming - Zone of the Enders sequel on hold.. team dismantled.. grown men crying

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/02/we-might-have-to-wait-a-little-longer-for-a-zone-of-the-enders-sequel/

Zone of the Enders HD Collection’s transition from 30 FPS to 60 was not as smooth as Kojima had hoped for. While it wasn’t as noticeable to first-time players, those who enjoyed the original seamless fast-paced games were able to feel the choppiness. (For a comparison, check out Spencer’s playtest.) Kojima believes that such action-heavy games deserve nothing but the smoothest gameplay to fully enjoy. Due to this problem, Kojima and his team have re-programmed the entire game, and will release a free PlayStation 3 patch that should fix the problem and greatly enhance its performance. There won’t be a patch for the Xbox 360 version for the time being.

 

Not only has this incident prompted Kojima to work on a patch to fix the problem, but it has also put a halt to the Enders’s Project which was announced last year as a Zone of the Enders sequel. The entire team behind the project has been dismantled, as Kojima would like to re-evaluate the franchise before moving forward, he says. Furthermore, he also wants to re-evaluate fans by asking once more, whether they would still like to see a Zone of the Enders sequel.

Geez. He said there won't be more Zone of Enders because of the poor sales of the HD collection.

Wonder if the'll get around to patching the 360 version as well. Are the performance issues less bad than the PS3 version?

The emulation on the 360 is better since the RAM isn't split. Bother versions should get patched if Kojima is really gonna try to get the game back to 60 FPS (which is why I haven't played my copy yet) though.

THEY CHANGED THE ARTICLE! D: But hey! read user's comment. You'll see most of them are regarding buying the HD collection or the sales itself; comments for the former article, not this one.



For comparisons sake:

PS2 Avg:56.269fps Min-Max:41.0-60.0fps Tear:26.318%(26.318%)
360  Avg:39.983fps Min-Max:23.0-60.0fps Tear: 0.000%(  0.000%)
PS3 Avg:32.218fps Min-Max:20.0-60.0fps Tear: 0.000%(  0.000%)

Well Kojima & Konami should have thought about the sales when they tried to make an easy buck with a craptastic, sub par HD port by an incompetent developer.

I don't regret not buying the collection.



I'm not surprised. He was pretty noncommittal when announcing the game in the first place and kept stressing that it wasn't a sure thing.
