XBOX AND PC METAL GEAR PLUS Z.O.E 2 REVEALED!

Double bok! A financial statement from KCEJ has pre-empted E3 revealing Metal Gear Solid Substance and Z.O.E 2: The 2nd Runner for next-gen hardware!

16:20 Whoops! A prime example of inter-office global synergy was delivered with cataclysmic poignancy earlier today, as first KCET announced Contra and Silent Hill 3 via a financial report, then KCEJ confirmed Metal Gear Solid Substance for Xbox and PC and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner via exactly the same medium. All of which ostensibly completely undermines the US arm of the company's attempts to make a big splash at this month's E3. Ta-da!
Metal Gear X was official confirmed months and months ago until all went suspiciously quiet in the run up to MGS2 releasing on PS2, but now Xbox owners and PC stealth fans have just cause for celebration as a new game, tentatively known as Metal Gear Solid Substance, is on its way to their respective formats. No official details regarding content have been released, but it is strongly suspected the title will be an enhanced version of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Furthermore, a sequel to the visually astounding PS2 mech title Z.O.E was confirmed, titled Z.O.E 2: The 2nd Runner. Although no format was revealed, we'll eat one of our deputy editor's three pairs of pants if it doesn't come out on PS2.

With Silent Hill 3, Contra, Z.O.E 2 and Metal Gear Solid Substance, Konami is gearing up for one hell of an E3. Even if we do know all about it now. A spokesperson for Konami of Europe refused to comment ahead of the show. More very soon.

IGN is supposed to have some news on it too in about 10minutes

[kidrock]

yep... IGN just confirmed it too... here you go....
May 09, 2002 - Konami JPN, like Konami TYO yesterday, released its financial report for the recently-concluded period today. Included in the release is news of major new titles, including "a second and third original title to follow on our Metal Gear Solid series," and "new original titles" bearing the Z.O.E brand.
Titles derived from the Metal Gear Solid series are to be released for multiple platforms, although the release seems to distinguish between "sequels" and "derivative titles." New sequels in the series are to be released every two years. Meanwhile, new games in the Z.O.E franchise are being developed with worldwide release expressly in mind.

Impress Game Watch specifically reports that the new MGS game will be entitled Metal Gear Solid Substance, and be developed for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. Meanwhile, the Z.O.E sequel is to be entitled Zone of the Enders 2: The Second Runner -- Konami expects improvements on the original game to produce a million-selling title.

Aside from those major announcements, the release indicates plans to continue Konami JPN's successful exploitation of character-based franchises, including Konami's own Yu-Gi-Oh franchise and anime licenses such as Hikaru no Go and Tennis no Oji-sama, to produce titles for Gamecube, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance. Altogether, the company plans to release 49 titles in the fiscal year beginning March 2003.

Look forward to further news on Konami JPN's future plans, particularly new Metal Gear Solid and Z.O.E games, at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo.
