Awesome idea? Yes.

But it's virtually impossible really. A Character Customizer would be awesome though.

Yeah, this is about the size of it.

Unlike normal fighting games with a create-a-character option (i.e. Soul Calibur), these are monsters we're dealing with. They don't all have the same body shape. It works for games like Soul Calibur because all the characters are humans (barring a couple exceptions, but the creation engine only lets you make humans). The customization boils down to changing their clothes, facial features, eye and skin color, hair style and color, and weapons. But you're still working off the same template: the human body. Monsters vary waaaaaaay more than that.

A Character Customizer I think would be a neat feature though - the ability to change the skin hue, power up and down certain abilities, pick between a few different beams, or in a DAMM or STE model, pick a rage move. Could be fun. I know an upgrade token system was planned for STE but cut.

They could do it for Spore, why not a fighting game? If enough time and effort with a little creativity is thrown in it could work great.

You'd be better off just making an entirely separate game for it, then. Devoting that amount of time and effort into putting it into a Godzilla game would only make the Godzilla portion suffer.

Spore's a different kind of game, and I believe it was in production for several years. The longest production time for a Godzilla game I know of is G:U was being worked on for I think, a month or so over a year.

i personally hate the idea of a monster creator. i buy godzilla games to play as godzilla or other toho monsters... not to make my own...

[Godzilla1703]

well zill103192 that sucks...

[Gigan X3]

It's a pretty tough thing to make right as IR pointed out, not to mention balance.

Customisable skin colors, beams and so on would be cool, but still doubt it would be possible seeing how Toho is about its stuff.

[TokyoVigilante]

Considering Toho not wanting Godzilla fighting superheroes and not allowing non-Godzilla monsters in their fighting games, would Toho even allow a character creator/customizer into a Godzilla game?

[zilla103192]

well zill103192 that sucks...

what?

[Godzilla1703]

i mean that just not wanting to make your own monsters thats all....

sorry if i sounded like a smart ass

Different skins would be nice instead of clones.

Yeah, good point, I think Simon Strange mentioned there being big issues just with the skin hues for different players.

[Godzilla 2000]

I dont get the desire for a character creator in a Godzilla game.

Arent we playing these games to play as Godzilla characters? I mean, at least wait till we can get all of the actual Godzilla monsters in there. lol.

[Hellspawn28]

It would be cool but I don't see it happening unless its some big online RPG type of game. Skins in the next game might work but we never got skins in GU or STE because the game engie was unable to support. I thinks skins will work to avoid clones since Kiryu Saga Godzilla can be a skin for G2k and Showa MG2 can a be skin for Showa MechaGodzilla.

[CheetoKamper]

I like the idea of custmizing characters for sure. Maybe even throw in a "Be a Kaiju" mode where you start off as a monster with limited abilites and then power up your monster by earning power up points by doing diffrent tasks like destroying cities, saving cities, fighting other monsters and such. Each task would get progressively harder as your monster levels up and you'd need to upgrade diffrent atributes of your monster and depending on your monster your attributes can be anything. Another thing that could be done is things with beam weapons and such like possibly changing a monsters beam into something else or giving a monster that has no beam a beam if you so desire. From what I've seen in other games things like this can be done if you get the right people on it.

People want to put in some creativity, and they also want to have their own characters mess with Godzilla.

I don't want a character creator much, but it's not a bad idea. It's just not worth the massive work it'd require.

This is the most detailed and well thought-out game idea I've ever seen.

I know right, now all that's missing is like boobs. pizza, and kitty cats. Duuuude. And a 90's kid of awesome.
