Excited to hear about the HD collection, as I never got to play the first game and only have a Japanese language copy of the second. And after the ongoing tragicomedy of the Silent Hill HD Collection botch job, it'll be nice to get another Konami set of the MGS HDC's quality!
I liked Omega Boost better than both on the PS2. I don't think The 2nd Runner is anywhere near the most remarkable action games on the platform. The final bossfight was a bad joke.
The rear gate is closed down
The way out is cut off
Finally, time to see some ridiculous mecha action again. Can't wait.
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

Yeah after playing both ZOEs on hard a year ago I agree that 2's combat is at least worse than 1's.. not the best gameplay around
I feel the "swordplay" worked really well in 1 even again minor enemies, in 2 you're pretty much intended to abuse the throw and spin move and fights feel less dynamic + the fancy effects and enemy swarms cause slowdown and make targeting harder. But the graphics are definitely some of the best on the PS2 and I love the presentation and mech designs.
Hopefully they nail the gameplay for this one and it'll be multiplatform which afaik should be easy with the engine they're working on.
