I think if that were the case this would instead become notorious as a sub-HD, non-v-sync'd compilation. Well, if the v-sync actively lowered FPS, I can't remember that being the case on PC but then most reasonably modern PCs can easily do 60 FPS+ reliably on many games.

No joke. Stuck on last Viola fight on Easy, don't remember having any problems on normal when the game was new.

Targeting it is fine, but if you can't hit that and your frame dips actually affect the gameplay, than why would you be okay with that?

lol IGN delivers again.
Playing for the ZOE1 Platinum makes the slowdown oh so much more apparent. 2 Rescue missions with Rank A done and 3 more to go. Really forgot how short this game really is. I've leveled ADA up to 7 and the 2 Rescue missions in an hour and a half. Another hour and I'm done.

I'm not sure your problem is universal
I most definitely do not have slowdown every time an enemy dies, or for the majority of the game for that matter
and last 3 rescue missions are cake compared to the first two, so sounds like smooth sailing for you

These HD collections are reminding me why we even like Japanese video games in the first place.
Maybe this is just because it's Kojima and all, but this and the MGS collection manage to have a shitload more personality than any of the shooters we're playing on current gen systems. I know we probably thought Leo was whiny back in 2001, but to be honest he's far more likable than any of the mass murderers of today's action games. Maybe that's just me feeling a breath of fresh air when he talks about how he doesn't like killing people towards the beginning of ZOE1, and then actually sticks to his beliefs when arguing with other characters.
Maybe it's better that we just have banter and such during gameplay or little walking scenes between battles instead of the long-ass, un-pausable cut scenes that plagued the PS1 and PS2 eras, but you gotta admit they were an easy way to inject games with personality.

Grabbed it, was giving ZoE1 a shot again, only for it to lock up upon beating Tempest.
Well, at least the Rising demo was amazing! Not that I won't jump back in, it's just kind of annoying to try to dive in, enjoy yourself, and before very long the dumb thing crashes on you. Just ironing out those and dumb glitches would be appreciated in a patch, even if they can't do much about the framerate (though I hope they can do something at least.)

Just finished the rest of the missions with ease and got my gold trophy for all A ranked. Off for the platinum.
Another weird issue I've encountered is I switched TVs as I'm at work. Both TVs I've played on were 1080p anyways on the work TV the frame rate seems a lot more choppy. I dunno. Still loving the game.
Back I go for that Platinum.

I forgot how fast you can beat ZOE2 on Easy, Naked Jehuty, and infinite Homing Missles... only took 1h:20m.
I didn't even bother to heal the LEVs in the big battle and they all still survived.
You have to beat it on Hard for the platinum?

Get Inside Her!
Yes. You can only get the overall A trophy via a Hard playthrough.
Yup. All I did was level up ADA to level 7 on the first area (Factory 1). Took me about an hour and a half. Then I played the game skipping all the sub weapons besides the Bouncer. Hard is barely any more difficult than Normal. Didn't die once legitimately.
To get the Overall A Rank trophy you need to beat the game on Hard in under 5 hours and have all rescue missions ranked A with no more than 4 continues (if more than 5 you get an Overall Rank of B;-) ). Remember that building damage in the first boss fight carries over to the first rescue mission.

Why is that?
Can you only get an A rank on Hard?
Edit: oh I see. DIdn't know the time requirements. Figured you just had to A rank all rescue missions.
Glad I found out before getting too far into my 2nd run
Isn't it the 2nd?
and any tips for minimizing damage in this fight. I ended up just spamming light shot and staying centered around buildings it already destroyed, then pulled back to the bridge area for the 2nd phase of the fight.
Not sure if that was enough though as I didn't play that far
Stay close that he only uses his flamethrower attack as of doesn't harm buildings and like you were doing, lure him to the bridge area. When I fought him her destroyed a couple buildings but I cleared the rescue mission with 8.6% damage so I still got the A rank.
Ooh, good question. If I could play this fine at 480p I'd pick it up. It probably just downscales though.
So god damn on the fence with this.

Is it possible they could patch the Framerate issues?
I'm not picking this up until that happens.

That would either involve dropping graphical fidelity on transparencies or locking the framerate & game speed at 30fps.

Is the Limited Edition worth 3x the price of the standard? Looking at importing it as EU don't appear to have the option of an LE.

I personally only got it for the art book, and it was only $20 more here. I can not recommend importing it for 3x the price. Just get the standard edition.

Thanks, I just realised how silly it sounds to pay such a multiplier for an artbook, as awesome as it may be.
As somebody else has said, it depends if it downscales or actually renders at a lower res.
I do remember a number of early-gen games running better at a lower res.
Agreed. I just love everything about ZOE, from the frantic gameplay to the unique visual style and soundtrack. Here's to hoping Enders Project gets realized sooner rather than later!
Doesn't seem to improve, unfortunately, but I didn't do very serious testing. Then again I'd probably have immediately noticed in the early part of ZoE2 if it helped.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if the FPS can be fixed just by adding an option to disable v-sync and AA? I know the original ZoE lacked AA, though ZoE2 did add it. Still, if it's not a low cost AA it might be an easy way to get the FPS closer to PS2's heights.

Wouldn't it be faster to just find some videos of the PS2 gameplay? The light trails are probably just more noticeable because of the slowdown.

Hmmmmmm i should have waited on this.
Never played the series before but heard good things and i actually bought it for the MGS rising demo (stupid i know
)
First game is just , idk how to describe it, its just the same every stage lol but its ok, im doing the radar part at the moment and im lost at the second one so i gave up for a bit
Just starting the second game and its so much better then the first its crazy, i should have played that first
CE is nice though

Sorry if this has been asked before but is the whole pressure sensitive button thing missing from the 360 version that big of a deal? I've been playing AC3 so I haven't even opened up my copy. If it's that much of a deal breaker, I'll change it out for the PS3 version...even if that's the "inferior" of the HD versions performance wise.
Playing ZoE2 properly for the first time (played a little bit of the missions at a friend's a while ago - and that sold me on it). Just got to Mars and beat
. That was a surprisingly tough fight, even on Normal (took me at least 5+ retries; very satisfying to finally win.
Amazing game so far. Gameplay is fast-paced, incredibly fluid and lots of fun. The framerate (360, installed) hasn't been a bother so far, although I did notice some slowdowns once too much stuff was going on in that last boss fight. So far, it hasn't impacted my experience, though. I actually quite enjoy the anime feel of the game, too; it actually doesn't grate on my nerves!
