>>715729385 Mecha popularity has been having a resurgence as of late. ZoE really came out at the ass end of the era where mecha stuff was really popular which was mostly in the 80s and 90's. By the 2000's mostly people were kind of burned out on it but now it's getting popular again.
>>715729227 (OP) Meh, all they would do is make a REMASTER and only of the first game at most. I don't think they could remaster ZoE2 more than they already did because unlike MGS3, ZoE2 use cell-shading graphics, they can't just make everything more realistic. There was also very stylistic choices in the colors and aesthetic that they definitely can't do without proper developers (not gacha regurgitator).
That doesn't mean anything. IP licenses are always renewed.

>>715729385 is it more niche than suikoden? they brought that back if only to turn it into gacha slop.

>>715729227 (OP) ZoE is my favorite franchise but I kind of want it to stay dead. After years of this shit, I've come to realize that games being dead isn't the worst fate it can have.
>>715730202 I really wanted to like DxM, but something about it was just so bland. I don't want to say it was soulless, but it was definitely missing something. Gonna wait a while after the sequel drops to see if it's better.

>>715731427 >ZoE is my favorite franchise but I kind of want it to stay dead. This. Some franchise simply have no need (or no room) for constant sequel.
We need something new still designed by Yoji Shinkawa.
>>715729227 (OP) CyGames said they'd like to make the third one after they made the remaster for 2, and Konami has seemingly been open to publishing for other companies. The chances are ultimately not zero.

>>715731427 I would still like something in ZoE universe, like Trigun with mechs on mars. Dolores anime was great btw.
>>715732656 Same, what an insanely great character. I hope ZoE3 would utilize all those angelic Viola/Nephtis frames that were coming out of Aumaan at the end of 2 even if Aumaan was destroyed.

>>715732460 Well, Fist of Mars exists, though I don't think much of /v/ has played it.
>>715732248 Yoji Shinkawa is one of my favorite mechanical designers and he needs to make more mechs period.

>>715732656 ZoE is so weird. I prefer the JP, but the EN can sometimes have gold. 90% of the playthrough the EN will be hilariously poorly directed, only to turn around and give us scenes like this or a few in ZoE 2... only to go right back to funny VA again.

Noriaki Okamura the man that has written, designed and directed the original game still works at Konami. Also he never wanted a ZoE2 it was supposed to be a single game. Sequels are cancer to him.

>>715737494 Producer/conceptual designer but the story and characters were left up to others.

>>715737737 Considering the primitive nature of what they were aiming for it was definitely going to establish that metatron is like fossil fuels and OFs are all taking the form of primitive inhabitants of mars. It'd be super cool if Kojima utilized whatever plot he had in mind to create the callisto metatron deposit in 2.

>>715740863 >Its a miracle we for ZOE2 considering how shit the first game was. First game sold units because MGS2 demo was included. No one cared to buy ZOE2 because 1st one wasn't good. Same thing happened to Lords of Shadow.
Dingo and ZoE1 MC are basically the Tom Bombadils of their universe, metatron has no effect on them because they have no desires that could be exploited by the metatron's corruption.

>>715744175 Original for ZOE1, the remaster sucks. ZOE2 remaster was even worse but the PS3 version got patched and is pretty much perfect. There's also a PC version but idk much about it.

>>715747486 Yeah, listen to the story Dingo tells about him in 2, guy was never playing with a full deck.

>>715748029 He has like, what, five libes in 1? He shows up at the very end, you fight him once, run away because you can't beat him, then the game ends. Also there's a multi year timeskip between the two games, Leo is a child in 1, late teens to early 20s in 2. More than enough time for Nohman to go crazy from metatron poisoning.
>>715749876 Konami seems to be doing the RE1make where it's a graphical update and you can make it play like zoomershit or make it the classic gigachad way. Also heard MGO is coming back for it.

How hard does 2 beat the shit out of 1? I never bothered finishing the first because those punchy faggots kept beating my ass super hard.
