As someone who has never gotten into the Zone of the Enders series, where should I start? Should I just get the HD collection for the PS3, or would I be better off watching a playthrough of the first game, and then buy the PS4 version of The Second Runner? And is the GBA game any good?

Start with emulating GBA game

Then watch TV series

Then play ZOE2

Then watch OVAs

Then play MGS franchise

Then play ZOE1

Best way to experience it 100%

If you're not willing to just play in the release order then you might as well go full retard.

Play ZOE2 and then forget about it existing.

Everything else is trash, especially ZOE1. The anime is knock off gundam and the GBA game is a really bland turn based RPG.

The original PS2 version is probably the best for now. The HD release is crisper, but the PS3 can't handle the PS2's funky particle effect stuff as well, so it can chug at times. Emulation, last I checked, still can't match up at all either. ZOE1 is alright at best, it's strongest feature is making 2 feel so much better after playing it. The PS4 version is still totally up in the air, but I'm hoping it fixes up the previous flaws and makes it a definitive version. VR sounds like a gimmick, but 2 already had loads of those so it's not exactly out of form.

I'd wait.

The HD collection will chug like a bitch unless you get a patch, and even then it's a band-aid solution. The only good thing about it is the new OP. Here's the order you should do it.

>watch Idolo

>play ZOE 1

>watch Dolores, i

>play Fist of Mars

>play ZOE 2 Anubis

ZOE2 was just released for PC. Too bad about fucking Denuvo.

I was even willing to forgive that, but they don't have dual-audio support. Hopefully someone comes out with a cracked version that odes.

I got done playing the demo of it. Which sucks because the game ran absolutely beautifully.

Never a drop from 60 which should be expected, but it's pretty great to finally have a build of the game that can run at a constant 60, being finally able to take on Anubis without a drop is fantastic.

That being said the audio was way too low, I can barely hear character dialogue during gameplay, character interactions aren't working, and they buckled out of the dual audio promise. There also seems to be some problems with the aspect ratio stretching things out.

And yeah, Denuvo.

I won't be buying the game despite it being one of my absolute favorites. There is no point in giving money to Konami, The original team has mostly already left the company and giving them money is only inviting us to get a really disappointing sequel.

Having Z.Ó.E turn into another pachinko machine for the yakuza is a fate worse than death. It was short lived but it gave us a pretty fantastic video game, and I'm fine with just that.

Heres some good news for you niggers

https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/2344

TL;DR

>optimizations in PCSX2 that nearly double the framerate of ZOE2

It has been under review for 5+ months and needs more testing before it gets merged so you niggers could get on it right now and maybe speed it up.

It's gonna take a while to download Z.O.E 2 again, but thanks anon I'll see to test it.

Last time I ran it in PCSX2 it ran like absolute shit, I'm not sure if it will run completely fine, but it would make me a very happy man.

Its not actually in the main build yet. You'll need to compile the PR yourself from the look of it.

I haven't even figured out how to run this build.

ZOE2 is the best Cumjmer game because he was hardly involved.

Play them on a PS2, the HD collection is utterly fucked on both consoles, 360's runs a bit better on both games (45-60fps, never drops below 30) but it's still far from perfect since the controller lacks analog face buttons (you need them to control your basic beam attack) and it's missing some textures and effects (grass, light particles in the spirit bomb attack, fire), PS3's was completely mangled though, ZoE 1 runs at 30fps and 2 runs at 50fps most of the time, but when the framerate fucks up it drops to single digits, a PS3 exclusive patch came out later on but it only fixes ZoE 2 (true 1080p, completely remastered the graphics, semi-stable 60fps but still missing a few textures and effects), meanwhile ZoE 1 and 2 run at a locked 60fps on the PS2.

This bothers me more than it should. I remember people arguing about which was better; whether one pic for each category or multiple pics for each category for Watched, Expected, Got. I myself prefer multiple pics because it lets the imagination fly and can be humorous. This single-pic-per on the other hand doesn't tell me fuck-all and it's making me fucking angry.

WEW LAD

This re-release doesn't even give credit to the original developers, only the remaster staff.

They call it a "Tribute" to the original staff but not including their names in it is fucking scummy.

I can't believe Konami is still this assblasted.

A single picture can work and be humorous sometimes, but yeah. I have no clue what Fryhank is supposed to convey here.
