New kaiju game from Matt Frank + Simon Strange [Archive]

[Mr. Strange]

so mr strange, when the contributers give in 500$ to get original monsters in the game, the other contributers will vote on which of the monsters they decide they want in?

Depending on which monsters we get the license for, and which original monsters are submitted, we'll create a list.

All contributors will vote on the order in which we implement the monsters on that list.

I don't quite remember what was said about the possibility of a console release, but I assume it would be very, very late. After a few different PC releases, right? Which themselves would probably take a while. If it WAS released on consoles that late though... Would the release include all the monsters included on the PC releases up to that point? Would the licenses have ended by then?

This requires some complex speculation, so I'd rather not make a public guess at this time. Things change frequently.

If you had to put a % of certainty on the chance Toho will grant you the license what would it be, and what are the politics behind it (Chris or Simon).

Come on now, gotta show respect for an artist's vision and artwork.

Well, that's like, only your opinion, man.

Calling it "horrible" is so bland, and I know you already know this lol.

Calling it horrible is "bland"? I'm afraid that doesn't make a lot of sense. Let me reiterate, I think the interpreation sucks. It looks like a Trendmasters version of Kamoeboas, which is not a compliment.

The pic is just a example, it has its own merits and markings that make it unique on its own as a design for the character.

I guess.. but it still barely resembles the character. Sorry, but I think it sucks.

The Uchusen art is the best possible example anyone could post, outside of a pic of the actual suit. Now that's what he should look like, in-game, if he's even considered. Honestly, there are a chunk of Godzilla monsters that need to make it into this game before anybody from SPACE AMOEBA (as much as I'd personally like to see Gezora)

Suddenly wondering if Matango is eligible. (Rage attack pictured)

[matrix]

Man, I loved the damage numbers in G:StE I love how you can see just how much a attack takes. I'm hoping that they will have the damage numbers back in this new game.

Simon:

Do you think you can give me some complex speculation? And, while you're at it, how about a public guess? Finally, how frequently would you say things change?

Hahaha, awesome. I actually think a giant Matango would be a super cool "original" Toho monster, but maybe with a different rage attack.

Yes, No, Very. (But I may feel differently at 2pm today)

You were kidding with these choices, right? Because you must realize they aren't going to happen.

If Toho doesn't approve the game, next on the list is trying for the Gamera license. Daimajin is also owned by Kadokawa, but that would be a whole nother license to pay for just for ONE character. Not gonna happen.

[Goji]

The Heisei MG should most definitely be Super Mechagodzilla. His rage attack could be some kind of "all-out assault" type of thing.

[Greyshot151]

^Have to agree. I can understand Ultraman, Gamera heisei monsters, Bagan, Orochi, and some popular others but lets keep with the main list. I must admit though Clover might not be a bad idea....

I'm not sure about an All Out Attack, but I'd defiantly want to see the G-Crusher used if SMG is used.

Maybe the G-Crusher could be his rage attack, while the "all out attack" (where he unleashes all of his lasers, including Garuda's) could be a move that requires a lot of super meter to use (Think Destoroyah's Oxygen Destroyer attack from G:U for Wii, which was his rage attack in G:STE). He should also be able to use the Plasma Grenade, which could work similarly to Kiryu's Absolute Zero Cannon.

It might be overkill to have the "all out attack" on top of already having the G-C and PG, but there needs to be a way to use all of his weapons (including Garuda's) without having it be unbalanced. By requiring it to use a lot of meter, the ability to spam beam attacks will be greatly nullified. Careful meter management will be required to play U.N MG at his full potential (much like my favorite STE character, Jet Jaguar).

[Breakdown]

And for christ sake, give him the Mega-Buster instead of eye lasers. I'd like the weapon he uses frequently more than the one he only used once.

I like your idea for the All Out Assault. Maybe the PG could be used like MOGUERA's chest laser in STE. If I remember correctly if you block an energy weapon it charges up the chest laser.

m eyebrow raised a bit when I read in the other thread about the possibility of some kind of structured, iterative release where we get the Toho licenses in game 1, Universal in game 2, Daiei in game 3, etc. I don't know much about IP law and so forth, but is this really feasible? Let's say Toho agrees to a license and that they're ready to go forward...would you then have to tell Daiei that, in addition to procuring a license from them, they'd also have to be agreeable to commingling their monsters with Toho's? I'd imagine at some point that discussion would take place...but what happens if you approach company X for a license, but they refuse on the grounds that they don't want their IPs to be in contact with company Y's IPs?
