Cygames wants to make a new Zone of the Enders



Cygames, which co-developed Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – MARS with Konami, wants to make a new entry in the Zone of the Enders series. The news comes via a newly published interview with Cygames project manager Kenichi Kondo, Cygames game engineer Akira Horibata, and Konami general producer Noriaki Okamura with Dengeki Online.

Here is the snippet:

While I’m looking forward to the release of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – MARS, but as a fan I’m hoping for something that leads to a completely new entry.

Kondo: “Of course, as a company we feel like we’d like make a completely new entry. We’re talking to Konami about considering a sequel if this one sells and is received well, so it would be great if everyone could buy it.”

Okamura: “These are strictly my own feelings, but from my perspective I’d like for Cygames to create a new entry.”

If there is a sequel, will you also tackle virtual reality?

Kondo: “I think this title has what players want, but I think we’ll have an even better idea once it has released. Isn’t that what one does when approaching the idea of a sequel? Even though I am seriously saying I’d like to make a new title, I would only consider VR as long as it didn’t interfere with the experience I want to create. If VR caused restraints to high-speed combat, I would probably consider a different direction.”

Horibata: “The most important thing is that the Zone of the Enders series is an IP loved by its fans, and a new title should go beyond expectations. We’ll sincerely consider what elements are necessary to grow in order to do that. I’ll be happy if this can lead to a good future as a work, not just as a product, and I hope that I can lend a hand in that.”

Okamura: “This title pushes the limit of current generation systems, especially from the difficulty in performance that I’ve witnessed. Particularly regarding the 4K and VR capabilities of this generation. I don’t think anything that has prepared these two elements at the same level greater than this will come out.

“The balance becomes really bad if we specialize in 4K and VR capabilities simultaneously, but with that in mind, The 2nd Runner has made extremely good use of current generation capabilities. Even if Cygames makes the next one, I think it will be tailored to that hardware.”

Kondo: “I want the next title to happen, and I want it to be as interesting as possible. Even within the company there are a lot of Zone of the Enders fans, so if it’s possible, the series will take some form. Of course, I don’t know if it will be Zone of the Enders 3 or Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner 2, or something completely different, but I would like to put out the next entry if we can.”

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – MARS launched for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam on September 4 in the Americas and launches September 6 in Europe and Japan. An “Orange Case” demo was released for PlayStation 4 last week.

17 岁玩家重制《P.T》至 PC 平台 被 Konami 摸头后决定删除
转载 - 巴哈姆特（https://gnn.gamer.com.tw/8/165478.html）

　　日前国外一名 17 岁玩家 Qimsar 将 PS4 恐怖游戏试玩版本《P.T》重制至 PC 平台，近日 Konami 要求删除，不过 Konami 同时邀请该玩家进公司实习。

　　《P.T》是由小岛秀夫参与制作的《沉默之丘》系列最新 PS4 试玩版，自 2014 年公开体验版后便获得很高的评价，更有不少受到《P.T》启发的恐怖作品出现。 然而，游戏在 2015 年 4 月宣布下架（可参考此篇 GNN 新闻）。

　　上个月，国外玩家 Qimsar 重制该作品至 PC 平台，且受到大量玩家的关注与支持。 而近日Qimsar 接到来自 Konami 的联系并提到谈话内容中，虽然 Konami 代表和公司内部的人都喜欢这次的重制，但碍于法律问题，因此要求他删除该项计划。

玩家打造《P.T》PC 版影片

   

Konami 代表接着提出合作内容，玩家 Qimsar 获得了进入 Konami 实习的机会。 Qimsar 认为：「对于一个 17 岁的学生来说这是非常好的机会。 」

17岁少年将《P.T.》重制到PC平台 已可以免费下载并游玩
转载 - A9VG（http://www.a9vg.com/news/201807/8679819662.html）

　　当年小岛秀夫领衔制作的恐怖游戏DEMO《P.T.》被一名17岁的少年Qimsar使用UE4引擎重制到了PC平台，并放到GAME JOLT平台供大家免费下载。

　　《P.T.》当初是作为《寂静岭》系列新作的DEMO被公开，其完成度之高以及充满谜团的内容一度引起巨大的反响。但可惜由于小岛秀夫的离开这款作品也终止了开发，并且新玩家也无法再下载到这个DEMO。

　　而这位Qimsar用UE4引擎将之重制到了PC平台，并最大限度地还原了这款作品。尽管目前《PT for PC》还在开发当中，有可能出现各种BUG，但至少已经可以从开始玩到最后。感兴趣的朋友可以下载试试。
