Zone of the Enders HD Collection Message Board

Hideo Kojima recently put the brakes on the Zone a Enders sequel 'n revealed a patch be in process for the Zone a Enders HD Collection.

The Zone a the Enders HD Collection ran into a bit a drama when it be discovered there be some negative technical disparities between the original games on PS2 'n their Xbox 360 'n PS3 updates. Siliconera did the translation work a a recent podcast, where Kojima stated the team be reworking the game 'n will release a patch for the PlayStation 3 version. There's no mention a an Xbox 360 patch. No release window for the patch be mentioned.

Kojima also mentioned that "Enders Project," a sequel in the franchise, has had the entire team taken off a it. He be currently re-evaluating what t' do with the series.

New comparison videos appear t' show incongruities between Zone a the Enders HD Collection 'n it be source games, Zone a the Enders 'n Zone a the Enders 2: The 2nd Runner, as well as disparities between the Xbox 360 'n PS3 versions a the HD collection.

The most important issue, according t' Enders fans that have contacted us, be that both games in ZOEHDC move more slowly than the original PS2 versions. The comparison video seen here shows that mechs, lasers 'n melee attacks all lack the amped-up pace a the original, as though the game be being played in slightly-slow-motion.

Other concerns have been raised over framerate inconsistencies between the 360 'n PS3 versions a ZOEHDC, with video comparisons supposedly showing that the 360 version runs at a higher, more consistent average framerate than it be PS3 sister. Regardless, neither version consistently runs at the 60-frames-per-second figure stated by the collection's official UK website, rather the majority a the game operates between 30 'n 40 FPS.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time such reports have come in regarding an HD rerelease a a Konami classic: Silent Hill HD Collection had it be fair share a framerate issues, so much so that a patch be pushed for the PS3 version 'n Xbox 360 owners be given the option t' exchange the game entirely. We've reached out t' Konami for a statement 'n will update with any new information we receive.
