Bleeding In The Next Game?

[Living Corpse]

Guys how do you feel about the monsters bleeding and battle scars?

No I don't mean gore like Mortal Kombat. I mean have some blood fly out of their nose/mouths/whatever if you hit them with a really damaging move or if there near knock out and low on health they have some bleeding, some bruises, and a few cuts.

I mean it's nothing new to Godzilla, there have been films where they do bleed.

[Legionmaster]

No. Animated blood draws attention from the ESRB, should this game ever be reviewed by them.

Well, a lot of T (assuming the game will be T, like the first 2 fighters) games have blood, so I don't think the ESRB would be a problem.

With that said, like Living Corpse said, it shouldn't be over-the-top like Mortal Kombat, but adding some scars or minor bleeding would make the game more realistic.

...But there are hardly any scars/blood in the films at all.

[Godzilla 2000]

NO.

Besides the fact that you have a blood fetish (which you refuse to keep to yourself) and are therefore biased, its a pointless feature to aim for, aside from insecure fans who want to be able say how "dark and serious" the game is because its slightly violent.

[Destroyer]

Well no, but in Godzilla vs. Gigan and forward, it was there sometimes. I think adding a little would make the game slightly more intense with the battles, but it isn't necessary at all.

I know there's more then 7 members on this board. >_>

It would be a cool graphical flourish, especially since some monsters have different-colored blood, but it's not a must-have feature. I wouldn't want blood sprays/squirts or anything, but stains/spots could make sense. You have monsters with buzz-saw tummies and giant drills for hands, it's kind of hard to imagine things like that NOT drawing any kind of blood. The movies aren't bloodbaths by any stretch, but it is there, and even earlier than Godzilla vs Gigan: Destroy All Monsters had King Ghidorah bleeding from bites. If it's done tastefully, and makes sense I'm for it... but I'm also fine with it not being included.

[Space Hunter M]

What of the censored German version, where all the characters are replaced with mechanical doubles and bleed sparks and motor oil?

[hammysammy59]

bleed sparks and motor oil?

Sounds perfect for Mechagodzilla, MOGUERA and any other mechanical monsters!

[Living Corpse]

Machines could get dents in them. Just throwing that out there, I mean Showa Mechagodzilla's arm get a nasty dent in it near the end of the film from King Caesar.

[Grayshot954]

I would say yes. Nothing crazy like Mortal combat but a few scars appearing would work. They would appear after health drops below point A. Then more appear after point B. Trickles of blood across the body, burn marks, teeth bites, etc would be cool yet also kind of hard to anticipate for each battle. Like if Gorosaurus fought King Ghidorah. Then all of a sudden a burn mark appears on King Ghidorah? That would be wierd but I am sure the develpers could work around that.

[hammysammy59]

Yeah, I don't know if it would be a programming nightmare, but it it would be cool if certain types of attacks created bloodstains or dents after landing x number of times on each body part. If you tail-slap Mechagodzila in the chest enough, a dent will form there eventually--if you bite Ghidorah in the neck enough, he eventually bleeds from the neck a bit.

I don't think it'd be all that hard actually. One of the Ultraman games let's you knock off a few of the monsters horns and even cut off Gomora's tail.

Thats only during the scripted story mode.

Nothing over the top, just minor stuff like we got in a few of the films like Gigan slashing open somone's shoulder.

Well, there's Godzilla's Raids Again, when Godzilla bites down onto Angy's neck, you see blood spilling from the wound.
Then there's Destroy All Monsters when Anguirus bite into Ghidorah's neck and when Godzilla stomped the hell out of the dragon's neck, causing the demon to cough up blood. Then there's Godzilla vs. Gigan (Already mentioned), and of course there's the blood spraying Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1974 film. Godzilla vs. Hedorah....Well...A fleshed hand burned and eroded down to the bone is far more worse then a scar I'm sure. Then there's Godzilla vs. Biollante and that was bloody, mainly due to Godzilla get torn into. Then there's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, blasting off a head of Ghidorah, no blood, but more bad then a scar. Then there's Godzilla vs Mothra 1992, Godzilla biting into Battra's neck, blood flowed freely. Then there's Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II, I'm sure exploding a brain, choking Rodan to the point of blood spilling, or blasting Rodan with a Plasma Grenade directly to the point of a wounded chest and blood spilling from his beak. Blood there. Then there's Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Moguera drilling into Space-Godzilla's shoulder, blood spilled. Then there's Godzilla vs. Destoroyah and well, that film pretty much spoke for itself. Then there's GMK, Godzilla making Ghidorah bleed by biting one of its neck, then there's Yuri's father who drilled through Godzilla's already made wound, showing flesh. And then there's Godzilla bleeding from using his atomic ray which shoot through his wound. And who could forget GMK Godzilla blasting Ghidorah to Hell, small shreds of flesh were flowing lightly into the wind. And of course, then Godzilla X MechaGodzilla, the grim chest wound Godzilla had obtained at the end. And then there's Tokyo SOS in which Godzilla had a scar.

So overall, I have to kindly disagree, a decent chunk of the Godzilla films do have blood/scars in some form.

Edit:

And there's Ebirah getting his claws ripped off, and Keizer Ghidorah getting his heads blasted off in Final Wars, then there's King Ghidorah and Mecha King Ghidorah getting their wings damaged during battle. No blood, but worse than scars.

Would it add anything?

[Tormentor]

Would it add anything?

Hmm...It doesn't add replay-value or content. So nope.

[Godzilla 2000]

Would it add anything?

A higher ESRB rating.
