Will Godzilla come to E3?

[GodzillaFreak99]

I suppose you're right, but how do we know that insert name of developer here isn't planning something else. We don't

[GigaBowserG]

Yes.

Considering the high licensing fees, Toho's overprotective nature of their character, their disinterest in crossovers and upcoming 2014 tie-in licensing, I reeaaaaalllly don't see Godzilla turning up in Kaiju Combat. To me, this is nothing but a glorified fan project, and since when has Toho ever been okay with those?

...since they've been keeping in contact with the director, who's worked with them since GDAMM?
I don't know if you keep up with the project or not, but the biggest obstacle isn't so much the inevitable 2014 tie-in, but sales figures. Toho has already come out saying they'd be totally down with granting their license to CKC if sales are good enough. That, and the series would need to have good sales anyway to pick up any license.

I am very curious about the 2014 tie-in game, though. Toho has some pretty strict policies when it comes to Godzilla games, such as not allowing Godzilla or other monsters to die, or not be too overwhelmed by the military. Whoever is holding the license now is going to be in for a ride

If the game does sell well, it wouldn't be difficult to believe that Toho would see it as an opportunity to make money.

and that's what it's all about these days huh?

Toho's a company. A company's main focus is to make money. It sounds logical to me.

[GodzillaFreak99]

Money corrupts.

Money corrupts.

It's not like Toho isn't corrupt already.

Pretty much none of the MCU movies, none of the Nolan movies save for "Begins", and Man of Steel did not receive tie-in-games.
And nothing is more marketable than superheroes.
There's no way G2014 is getting a game. I can just guarantee it won't

I really don't get why everyone is saying that what ever insert name of developer here is gonna be making a movie tie-in game, really I don't see that working at all. There will be only three monsters in the new film (lots of variety there) and playing as the military for the whole thing would be kindof a turn-off for some people.

First of all, why would a developer buy such an expensive and niche license and then NOT make a game for it?

Secondly, why would a Godzilla game either have to be one of those lame wrestling games from Atari or a military game? Have you never seen Godzilla Generations? Super Godzilla? Godzilla Monster of Monsters? A game can be perfectly fine just playing as the big guy himself. And we are LONG overdue for another game that lets us smash cities down to the ground.

Anyway, nobody honestly expected this to be at E3. I'm hoping it will be like the Transformers games - they were made because of the new movies, but had nothing to do with them and were VERY high quality games that stood on their own.

The atari games were not wrestling games.

The atari games were not wrestling games.

They had much more in common with a wrestling game than any actual fighting game. It's basically WWE with monster costumes.

As a fan of both they weren't like wrestling games. They had some elements both they were fighting games.

Pretty much none of the MCU movies

Iron Man 1-2, Captain America, Thor and Hulk '08 got video games. I do think we could see a new Godzilla video game, but the chances are that it might be a mobile game. I think we see less movie tie in games now these days because they sell poorly. During the 80's, 90's and most of the 2000's it was more common but now it seems pretty rare.

It's because movie tie-in games are made poorly. They're going out of style in the traditional sense, but they've just taken and new and better form.

New movies of geek franchises are spawning games that are unrelated to the movie itself, but are part of the new campaign for the franchise as a whole. I already mentioned the Transformers games that were kicked off by the movies, and the Batman Arkham games were also only possible because of Nolan's renewal of Batman interest, yet they are completely different and considered some of if not THE best games of the generation.
