I bought it but still have to get around to playing it. I cannot wait to relive that moment of getting zero shift for the first time. SO GOOD!!

I don't remember this in the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLd95xia_H4&feature=youtu.be
Is this a glitch?

I believe so, yes.
It's indeed a glitch that wasn't in the original.
Are you playing the PS3 version? The 360 version suffers slowdown time to time but it's pretty consistent.
That happened to me, too. It's pretty low on my list of complaints though.

Done with both Platinums now

I might dive into a few of the EX missions in between classes during the week, but other than that I think I'm done with the games atm.
Had fun though. These replays made me realize I like ZoE2 alot more than I thought I did.
That and the multiple Nephtis fight before Auumaan Anubis are probably the worst of it in the game
but it's really bad because that 2nd to last Anubis fight is already one of the most tedious encounters in the game. Made worse in that it's hard to react to Anubis shield and burst it in time. So it ends up taking even longer.
I think the 1st and last anubis end game fights run pretty decent though. and they're the better fights anyways
Oh god yes! Trying minefield is one of the wrst segments ever.
Me: I don't think going right is a good idea Ken, it's a mine.
Ken: Turn right.
Me: But I'll die.
Ken: Turn right.
Me: Fine you fuck.
Ken: Good. Now move forward.

I've never had that happen
but I've only played on normal
where it's pretty easy to tell the next direction she wants you to go based on the topography of the area
Nope
I think the earlier patch was actually for the Rising demo

lol
Still as good as I remember from the PS2 version
Sure it isnt 60 frames, but I'm still having a blast!
same thing happened to me
I was like FUCK YOU KEN
but despite that it isn't horrible. Just sucks there is no room for mistakes.
At least it has check points

I don't even listen to Ken, just stay between the lights for the 1st few parts, and then when you get to the area with a bunch of Mosquitoes and Homing Mines, go straight towards the mines.

Happened in there for me as well. Nowhere else though.

Just beat ZoE. Anubis is god mode lol. Nothing hits him, not even a dent in his health bar. Game is short. Now for those survival missions.
Yeah, I swore the game was significantly longer than ZoE1, but if anything it may be shorter. Probably because it has more unique content and variety, whereas ZoE1 was very repetitive.

I just found out that the 360 doesn't have pressure sensitive buttons. I wanna control my geyser spout!

Just picked this up so I'm wondering where I should start. Should I just skip 1 and start with ZoE2 since everyone usually agrees it's the best? I don't have a ton of time, so if it's inconsequential to skip the first game, then I think I'd like to do that. But if there's mechanics and story beats that I absolutely NEED to know, I will find the time and play part 1 first. Thoughts?
Don't even bother with the first game. The second one fills you in on everything you need to know.

I am playing through Zoe 1 for the first time on this and am loving it. On ps3 I just noticed you can use custom soundtracks. The acrobatics in this game will be great with my own music.
So far the first game is quite fun. There's a few repetitive bits, but overall I am enjohing myself. Visually they did a great job with this hd remake. After hearing how awful it was from some people I am finding it be really good. The frame rate never really bothers me or is incredibly apparent IMO. I never played the original for more than an hour on ps2 but im sure the bells and whistles here make up for its shortcomings.
Certainly miles behind the awful silent hill ports. Yuck.

My Pal copy arrived today.
Gutted to see no mention of Transfarring any where. Guess that means the Vita version is dead?
Vita version would prob run at 15fps so it's probably for the best.
Still yet to play Zoe 2, keep getting sidetracked.

My 360 copy is finally here, now I can redeem myself because I've never played them!

PS3 version is $30 on Amazon right now. Worth playing for someone who has no prior experience with the games? Mostly wondering about performance and playability. Also, does either the NA or the Asian version offer a Japanese voice option? I really don't like the English VA. It borders on parody.

I'd say go for it if you've never played the games

Any word on glitches or framerate being fixed?
You can't "fix" the framerate.

probably neither. Don't think Konami is gonna put any more money into this collection

The music in ZOE2 is amazing and really gets your blood pumping. That 1st boss battle against Ardjet or the battle with Vic Viper, oh my.
I skipped straight to ZOE2 without playing ZOE1.
Anyways, here's hoping they still keep that Ken "getting too hot and taking off her uniform" stuff, ahahahah.

Too late now, they should have made that decision before releasing it. Konami sin't about to pay a fee to release another update.
A whole bunch in the first game. Not so much in the second game.

It's not that bad at all though
I found going forwards in some parts in 2(which is a linear action game in structure, which is why there is no back tracking) to be more tedious and longer than they needed to be than any of the back tracking in one.
Problem in one is that they aren't always sending you to do something interesting, and at times aren't really clear in telling you where to go.

Thanks for the response Roto and Retro. Yeah, I heard that things weren't always clear in the first. Might wait the collection to reduce, just hope they don't go out of stock everywhere like a lot of HD collections do in the UK.

Yeah Rising demo goes public this month for western territories
no reason to buy the collection at full price at this point lol
Playing through this right now. I platinium'd ZOE at the speed of light and started Anubis.
I kind of forgot that ZOE was this short. But its length made for a nice experience that didn't overstay its welcome. Finished it twice in two days, in 3h20 (normal mode, watching most scenes and getting everything) and 2h10 (hard mode, skipping everything but getting A in every rescue mission).
Performance on ZOE was alright, though not as good as I remember it was on the PS2 version. Anubis, on the other hand, is really disappointing. Game is still really enjoyable, but what a fucking shame. To think we were initially promised 60fps@1080p...

So apparently HD Collection is releasing on US PSN this week:
blog.us.playstation.com
If the PSN versions run better than the disc ver., I'll trade in my, as of yet unplayed, disc ver. and grab those 2 when they go on sale.
...but only if they run better than the disc ver.
...and lol at the description:

Any word on whether the framerates are actually any better on the PSN release? Anyone tried it yet? I've been meaning to get this but the performance issues are holding me back a bit.

I figured i'd stop by and just say that playing 2nd Runner again, after so many years, ignoring the performance issues, reminded me of some of my best gaming experiences ever. So much fun playing this game again.
