Kris Ross m.imdb.com/name/nm1005563/ We recorded in the Bay Area and I did all my lines in a booth across from Ada. There were folks from Japan in the control room there giving us direction through a translator. Probably Hideo Kojima or someone from Konami. I also did a bunch of CD-Rom games including the Brain in the Arthur series, and Donny in Eliza and the Wild Thorberrys (just the games, not the TV shows). It was super fun, though I don’t really do voice acting anymore.

Bro i remember seing this intro every time i got in the game and i couldn't skip it so every time i wanted to play this game i had to watch the whole thing lol
The entire reason i bought a PS4 was for the 3rd one to come out. The story is perfect. The game play makes you feel like nothing else. Very fast paced and when you know what to do, extremely rewarding. I remember when i was about 15 showing my girlfriends younger brother ZOE 2 which is still to this day my favorite game of all time. He ended up having to leave about 15 minutes after he finally made it to Jehuty. I could of chose to turn it off and let that have been it... Instead i picked those fuckin sticks up and proceeded for the next hour and a half to murder everything in my path.. A+ end game score. Hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago.
I miss this game so much. More than 2 decades of gaming and I gotta say it's still in my top 5. Combat mechanics where simple yet so damn satisfying. Graphics are great and would still hold up well today. Story and world building was good too. If anyone cares my top 5 in no particular order is z.o.e 2, Witcher 3, Nier automata, bioshock infinite and the 2013 reboot of tomb raider.
C'mon, Kojima! I know that the third game got cancelled, but there is still a fan base that is DYING to have another Zone of the Enders game! We really REALLY want the third game to come! Please, Kojima, PLEASE! Imagine how Zone of the Enders could be if it had the FOX Engine! I sure as heck know that if you start working on the game with all that you got, a lot of people are going to flock towards it! Please, Kojima! Do it for the fans! I LOVE Metal Gear Solid, but I also love Zone of the Enders, and so do many people! After The Phantom Pain, please revisit this franchise and breathe life back into it!
Kojima did say in one radio show asking if ZOE fans want another ZOE game. If you do please sign my petition and please let all the ZOE fans you know and sign it. Its one of my videos.
kojima still busy for MGSV.He said MGSV will be last MG saga that he worked for.After that,he passes MGS project to other team and focus other project like new Silent Hill or ZOE,or even Boktai.

I love this game and this song. Bought the HD collection on ps3, and later on the Mars version on ps4 and PC. ❤️ I've always wanted a 3rd entry, especially with Kojima involved.
My favorite PS2 games in no particular order: - ZOE 2nd Runner - MGS3 Snake Eater - Devil May Cry - RE 4 - SOCOM US Navy Seals These were all ground-breaking games
Z.O.E was and still is one of my favourite franchises in the gaming industry. Since the shock drop of Kojima from Konami I don't think there will be another Z.O.E with Kojima at the helm, I do know that Kojima is trying to buy the rights back from Konami so that a 3rd part of the Enders franchise would be as he planned it to be and not what Konami had in mind. I do hope there is a third part to the Series as it's story, graphics, attention to detail and ability to excited about Orbital Frames once again #LongLiveKojima, #ZoneOfTheEndersRules
That's it. Kojima, make this game series into an anime. One that actually follows the story of the games. Clearly you are able to do it because of this intro.
I'd say shitty marketing. Kojima said he'd make a ZOE3 if the HD remaster had good sales. But it didn't. During a podcast he asked fans if they still wanted ZOE3 but that's the last we've heard of it. We will never get a ZOE 3 by Kojima, but maybe Konami will. I don't really know
You gotta love how in this cinematic, they get the events of Zone of the Enders out of the way in 1 minute and 30 seconds so they could focus more on The 2nd Runner (or ANUBIS if you're Japanese).
Man this just makes me want an anime. Looks at ZOE anime. That was was nice in its own thing, but I want some more Leo, Dingo, and Jehuty being awesome
if there is a zone of the ender 3 on the horizon i hope leo will be piloting jehuty againg because he truly had feelings for ada an the machine and ada for leo + he is a great character
I loved the fact that after ADA says a comment, if you press the directional keypad left or right, you can get Dingo to say a response; left for a positive one, right for a negative one.
I don’t know why but those opening notes of a whaling sound at 0:44 just gives me this feeling of an apocalyptic threat in this game. I never finished either ZOE games but man both this and the menu track are so dreary and mysterious. It’s crazy for how short lived this series was it still had the most impact compared to games I would normally play…
Just had the pleasure of playing this after years of wanting to but never finding the CD on PS2 or PS3 for the longest time. So happy I finally got to play these games, these games are awesomely fun. Sad I'll never get to play an older Leo piloting Jehuty.
Now that Armored Core 6 came out, it reminded me of ZoE. This game is so underrated! I dont care if it got a HD remaster, I still think it did not get half the love it deserved!
I love this intro. Absolutely love it. But there's one big BIG problem here: not enough pretty homing lasers. And they don't do the crazy curves they do in-game (oh and please don't get me started on Anubis's homing lasers...oh man...). Oh, and not enough showcasing on the sub-weapons and Zero-Shifting. Why Sunrise? WHY? Other than that, I has a sad because we'll never see ZOE3 be born now that Kojima's out of Konami. Stupid Konami...
*Watches video* Well damn. I shouldn't have questioned you. Kojima and friends really put work into this. I guess you were right. This IS how you do an HD remix!
If only Leo was as much of a badass in the first game as the animated sequence depicts. Still, I doubt we will get a ZOE 3 at this point; but I would welcome an older, wiser and blooded Leo to take over as the primary runner once again.
I know right. Everytime I put in ZoE2, I have to sit down and watch the intro. Fucking awesome. So glad they reused 2nd Runner's theme for this trailer.
@mrRollyyyy it's an AMAZING game the first one is really short because Kilimanjaro was working on MGS2 at the time and slacked on it BUT part 2 was FREAKING AWESOME!!!! The gameplay the story and the battles are great from taking out an entire fleet of air battleships to fighting in a war (literally) its just so much stuff ur going to love it if u don't I'll give u ur money back!!!
Yeah, I'd have to agree. I finished the first one. I couldn't get by the first stage on the second one. Always think about going back. Now that it's rereleased in an HD collection. Hideo Kojima is a game genius. I've finished MGS3 22 times. I always considered ZOE in the top 10 on the PS2. Did you know Jehuty is Horus Behudty? Kojima altered the spelling (i guess because it's easier to pronounce and it sounds cooler) So, It's Egyptian Gods Horus and Anubis doing battle. How badass is that? :)
I'm hoping that after the success of this HD editions has a hidden Easter egg or a teaser telling us more about Zone of the Enders 3, codenamed “Enders Project”
I am the voice of Leo for Z.O.E. I had a ton of fun with recording it when I was in high school. I really hope they make a 3rd game!
Proof please.

What was the feeling when you play a game that use your own voice? I always dreamed to become game voice actor 😭
Euqina Huhu it’s pretty weird. I sound like such a child, but I remember thinking that even right after recording it. Haha.
@@RemyLeBoeuf Wow cool
over a decade later and I'll never get sick of watching the vector cannon deploy. Such a cool over the top weapon.
It sucks that the only time you can actually use it is against BAHRAM's fleet
My God this game was so freaking far ahead of its time.
it still is :/
Unfortunately for this type of game it still is ahead it pretty much every respect
The Box That Could although they are supposed to be getting a vr compatible version of 2nd runner on PS4 so that’s somthing
The cock-pit still is.
Humanity wont be ready for this shit until MAYBE 2100
Even as a kid I just remembered Kojima and Shinkawa's stupid humor of having the cockpit located literally at the cock of the mech lol.
Not the first as Syd Meade( rest in peace) did the same with the Turn A Gundam.
10 years,,,and the song still makes me shivers,,,

The last time I saw that kind of firepower was Mazinkaiser's Fire-Blaster.
God damm it THIS SONG IS SO NOSTALGIC, this game was my childhood. Thank you so much. got chills

Same man, same.
This video proved I had an awesome childhood!
this... Breath of IV. Lunar SSSC. Grandia... XENOGEARS!

There is no ZoE 3 what are you talking about ? lol
This is probably the best video game opening I've seen
It's good, better than the original but pretty cheese. Check out the intro to SMT: Nocturne
This one, Xenogears then Suikoden 3 are the best openings of all time
Back when video games had proper introductions and shit lol.
@@spiral-viper which Nocturne intro you are referring to?
@@Mygg_Jeager Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne or Lucifer's Call in PAL regions

Witcher 3 and tomb raider ? 😂😂😂
A good list
@@Maximusss1385Witcher 3 was great. It outsold some consoles even. 😂
The theme song still gives me goosebumps
Probably the best Mecha videogame ever made.
Easily the best mech game of them all. I was really really hoping for its sequel.

If We can find it that is

The trailer for ZOE2 I saw was so epic, I watched it 5 times in the same day. The last 3 in a row. It was that awesome.
My favorite PS2 games in no particular order:
- ZOE 2nd Runner
- MGS3 Snake Eater
- Devil May Cry
- RE 4
- SOCOM US Navy Seals
These were all ground-breaking games
You re so right
Both Zone of the Enders games have amazing themes!!! I luv it!

This intro alone makes you want to play the game. I want this opening in the Mars version too!
still waiting for third game. we want it.
Dude I been praying for a third ZOE.
+DarknesisEternal didn't Kojima lose the rights to it since he left konami?
Just but the hd collection limited edition to honor it's memory
+Haku Fenrir The Phantom Pain.
+Markka Just let it go :( let it go

also suggest Kiss me Sunlight (ZOE1 Intro)
Nice recommend, appreciate it!
That's it. Kojima, make this game series into an anime. One that actually follows the story of the games. Clearly you are able to do it because of this intro.

Best video game song I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot.
Anubis has been my favorite orbital frame and mecha since I have memory
Man this just makes me want an anime.
Looks at ZOE anime. That was was nice in its own thing, but I want some more Leo, Dingo, and Jehuty being awesome
It does have an anime and an OVA as well. ZOE:Idolo (OVA) and ZOE: Dolores i (anime)
@@War_Daddy103 I think he meant an animated version of the games like Persona 4 or The World Ends with You.
if there is a zone of the ender 3 on the horizon i hope leo will be piloting jehuty againg because he truly had feelings for ada an the machine and ada for leo + he is a great character
I loved the fact that after ADA says a comment, if you press the directional keypad left or right, you can get Dingo to say a response; left for a positive one, right for a negative one.
Man that was epic! i still have the ZOE games for PS2, but i am still getting this. Awesome man
This was the best mecha game ever made hands down

I usually don't say piggish stuff, but naked Ken = best intro EVER.
Japan loves long red haired girls in sexy suits piloting giant robots: Asuka in Evangelion, Ken in ZoE, Elly in Xenogears.
But Ken is different. See, she has much bigger milkers, completely smoking the competition. :D
Nunca joguei nada melhor que ZONE OF THE ENDERS NA MINHA OPINIÃO o melhor jogo de robôs que já vi. Alguém façam novo jogo
imagine if zoe could be made in phantom pain style :P with all that new gen and kojima touch ...
They really captured the feeling of deploying that vector cannon.
THEY MADE THIS INTRO FUCKING PERFECT!
god i loved ZOE 2 back then..
this looks amazing! I've never played Zone of the Enders and was thinking of picking them up but now i'll just wait till the HD collection
Have you played it yet? Hope you enjoyed it. Would be shocked to get a reply after a decade from OC.
@@lionsfan4lyfe yeah! great game and fantastic ost.
A shame that this series got cancelled.
If you love ZOE or want it please sign my petition now.
best video game opening
Its too bad Konami is terrible and Zone of the Enders will never see the light of day anymore.
Metadragon my friend Zoe 2 is reborn for ps4
FACT
PS5?
maybe if kojima manages to get the rights to the franchise he would be able to make another game.
I've often wondered what might have been, if Leo had stayed on as Jehuty's pilot.
Give us ZOE 3 PLZ!!!
Kojima plz
Devilikg The same way like Dingo :D ? HELL YEAH !
A certain dude said that Hideo Kojima is planing to continue the Zone Of the Enders series after he's done with the Metal Gear franchise.
filipeflower omg that would be so awesome!
filipeflower after mgs v is done i think
So glad they're releasing this on Xbox 360 as well. Man its been years since last playing these games...
OBTAINED METATRON.
I was just thinking about his game today. And now it's coming out HD omg
2022 and a Ps2 Mechagame is still the best Game yooo this game takes flight like Jehuty.
Zone of the Enders is the best anime I've ever play, also the Ova ídolo and the mini anime series dolores-i was pretty good too.
I love this intro. Absolutely love it. But there's one big BIG problem here: not enough pretty homing lasers. And they don't do the crazy curves they do in-game (oh and please don't get me started on Anubis's homing lasers...oh man...). Oh, and not enough showcasing on the sub-weapons and Zero-Shifting.

I miss this game 😩😩😭
trust me wont regret it i own the original copys of both and the HD by far one of the best mech games on consoles
Can't wait for this one and ZOE 3! Great stuff!
Это одна из самых любимых моих игр была когда-то на плэйстэйшн - 2. Очень люблю жанр про механоидов.
Didn't know, all the better though. Thanks for the update.
I MUST HAVE THIS! i used to play this game so much on ps2 back when i was young x_x
The best game I've ever played.. Please make another ZOE for ps4
Anubis entering like a total boss with his arms crossed.
Man we all wait toooo long now for ZOE 3 !!!
Best Ps 2 Game for me = Zone Of The Enders 2 :)
- " Lynch " - from Germany xD
Uno de los mejores juegos la verdad
Does anyone know what that wonderful sound is around 50 second mark? How was it made?
For a spaceship or aircraft, the cockpit kinda makes more sense. I don't know for a robot though
This game is a masterpiece, I spent hundreds of hours on it.
Where?
This game is amazing
If only Leo was as much of a badass in the first game as the animated sequence depicts.
Still, I doubt we will get a ZOE 3 at this point; but I would welcome an older, wiser and blooded Leo to take over as the primary runner once again.
I've often wondered what might have been, if Leo had just stayed on as Jehuty's pilot.
hope the HD version comes to Xbox One BC list so I can play this awesome game without re-plugging my Xbox 360.
Even the Orbital Frames and Leo's Vic Viper are having hype borners for this collection!
Muchas gracias ^_^
I try to get my non anime friends into stuff like this until shit like 3:00 happens
I've seen stuff like that in many mech shows like aquarion even gundam

The Vers Empire wouldn't know what hit it.
Still banking on Cygames giving us 3 one day with all that Granblue cash.
