  • Mini-Map Addition: Navigate difficult terrain using an all new mini-map feature.
  • PRO Controls: New PRO control configuration for high speed battles, in addition to the CLASSIC configuration:

It was a great game, played it on PS2 and the HD collection on PS3 again.
But now Kojima is gone, so Konami want to milk ZOE by just adding silly features?

So all this new stuff sounds great (apart from the nonsense "very easy" difficulty), but it's Konami in 2018 - there's no way I'd give them my money, and no way they can be trusted to put out a competent product. Expect it to be buggy and broken.
