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

[godzilla898]

And you'd make sure to keep reminding us of how great his model and moveset is, right?

Is that a bit of snarky sarcasm I detect?

No, just joining the tease against Oasis.

Gabara's ending:

Gabara had defeated all monsters any force could throw at him. None could stand against his awesome strength. As the most powerful monster in the galaxy, the Earth was his, and all would bow down before him. Then suddenly, Gabara woke up. It was all... just a dream?!

I support this ending 100% xD Its just that epic lol

Although I do wonder what type of ending Orga would have....Does he finally absorb Godzilla or something?

[Goji]

...No, there won't be "original monsters" if it's a Godzilla game.

If Toho doesn't approve the game, then the game may be one of original monsters. Though I'm pretty sure that's a last resort. If Toho shoots it down, Mr. Strange is going to try for the Gamera license.

Oh, I was under the idea that there would be original monsters added to the game as updates.

Never mind.

I still like the title Kaiju Combat.

Maybe there will be? I'd have to double check. There are just too many topics, with too much too keep track of.

I dig the title myself. It's simplistic, yes, but it's straight to the point, and makes sense for a game (or series of games) which may eventually branch out beyond the Toho universe.

Lol! Sorry, the editing on your signiture is so funny!!! ^ About the game, as most say whichever makes it more quality.

[Oasis_S]

No, just joining the tease against Oasis.

I wish I was never born.

[Godzilla 1995]

Pipeworks track record with Godzilla has not been what you would call perfect. DAMM and STE both had good elements to their games, but still needed fixing. Unleashed, however, was a mess in just about every way.

I'm not 100% on Pipework's involvement, but if their involvement will end up helping the game be better, then I'm for it. Godzilla just needs a good game.

[matrix]

Thats also what I thought.

[Goji]

Well, you must realize that this game was going to be developed by much of the same team that made those games regardless of whether or not Pipeworks were to get involved.

Gabara's ending:

Gabara had defeated all monsters any force could throw at him. None could stand against his awesome strength. As the most powerful monster in the galaxy, the Earth was his, and all would bow down before him. Then suddenly, Gabara woke up. It was all... just a dream?!

I support this ending 100% xD Its just that epic lol

Although I do wonder what type of ending Orga would have....Does he finally absorb Godzilla or something?

Thanks. :3

I would imagine Orga's ending would have to do with him absorbing the DNA of all of Earth's monsters to become the ultimate lifeform?

[Goji]

Count me in also as a big fan of your Gabara ending. It's my personal favorite so far (though I liked LC's as well).

[UltramanGoji]

(Read this in the ending narrator's voice from Mortal Kombat 9)

Orga's Ending:

Having beaten Godzilla once and for all, Orga absorbed the Kaiju King's DNA. Posing as the King of the Monsters, Orga slaughtered the other kaiju to make way for the oncoming Millienian invasion.

So we would be trading a lot more work, and more varied skills applied to the project up front, in exchange for slower monster implementation and balancing work after the first 9 months or so.

One of the running problems with the previous Pipeworks Godzilla games has been polish... so if bug fixes, balancing, and the general presentation are going to be negatively impacted, I'm not sure that's what's best for the project.

Doing the work jointly with Pipeworks make a better game. But it means we would get a lot MORE done up front, and somewhat LESS done later on. This might be frustrating to fans.

How do you feel about that? Will you be frustrated? I assume you want to dedicate yourself to this as much as possible. But if Pipeworks is going to limit you to part-time, slowing down your efficiency, then I'm not sure that's best for the game etiher...

Kiryu's ending: After heroically defeating all monsters without one problem, Kiryu begins the long flight home to G-Force before breaking down over the ocean. The crew access the damage and wait for rescue, which never comes. The crew in turn turns to savagery and cannibalism while G-Force laughs maniacally, planning all along to destroy Kiryu and its crew.

[Giga Kaiju]

Endings for each monster is a cool idea if its possible then add it.

To reply to Mr. Strange about the walking issue:
http://images.wikia.com/godzilla/images ... _1990s.jpg http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... _1990s.jpg I'm still working on getting the video of his walks but I also don't like the way his head and neck bend forward when he shoots his fireball. Maybe if he just keep his neck straight like in the movies. At 0:42 he does the fireball and 1:03-1:05 he does the "bad" walk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1TRh4tS3A8
Also back on the walking issue, that second picture is how he looks when he is static and when charging energy, he holds his arms against his body instead of like a human running(arms going back and forth along the body). The character design itself is pretty good, a nice upgrade, but maybe enlarge the head and shorten the neck a bit so it looks like that second picture. One last thing, make the spines bigger. The walking issue is the only one that G 54 has(and small spines, and the fireball issue), the other comments are only regarding the Godzilla 90's. Sorry Mr. Strange, I didn't mean to write a whole story. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... illa54.jpg

Here, more tips,

1. grappling, I would love this changed back to normal (save the earth or DAMM) I was a bit annoyed when computers pushed me so often.

2. normal puches or combos? I liked the combos better, I would like normal punches, but they really just never seen to come in handy.

EDIT, Random help with designs, moves ect.

Titanosaurus- His attacks were great, but where were the black dots on his skin?

Godzilla 90's- Nice monster, I like how the camera moves around when he enters battle, but I didnt really like the racoon type tail

Godzilla 1954- A lot like 90's, cool monster, but it would have been cool for him to have more white fire breath like in the first movie.

MechaGodzilla 2- I really liked him, would have been nice to have super mechagodzilla, but this monster was really fun to play as.

Secret Monsters?- I am a fan of secrets, and out of all the unlock systems, Godzilla:StE was my favorite, but as a addition to whatever unlock system your using, I would like secret monsters, I love the secret way to unlock orga in melee!

Thats all I have to say.

So the main reason I excluded the Showa Gamera monsters are because they don't have a good chance at making it. The Heisei have the best odds and they really aren't even that good. So unless Mr. Strange informs me to add them because he struck an agreement with Gamera's company, keep your votes to the list or any other Toho monsters.

[Showa Gyaos]

Maybe there will be? I'd have to double check.

A person who donates $500 gets to make their own monster for inclusion in the game, if that counts.

[Living Corpse]

Add a vote to Glacies. It'd be cool to get a fan made monster into this game.

[Supergeon]

Wow, It looks like I've missed a lot!

http://youtu.be/A1LOZK3cWBY This is a scene from GvMG, this shows a good example of his walking stance. As well as showing good "short" sounds that he can make when attacking, Strange stated that many sound samples were too long for hit reactions and such.

As far as prologue and epilogue in this game, go with a comic book style. Give me a few lines of text and some sweet pictures and I'm good. League of Legends has a whole lore section in the game client where you can read up on their games' fiction, cool and cheap!

For anyone who may be confused, look to this post to clear up any and all misunderstandings about this project...

1)This project is a monster fighting game
2)It will launch as a platform with a name such as "Monster Online Combat"
3)Depending on what licenses are secured each additional update or release will be titled as such ie Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman
4)Using Mr. Stranges "LEGO" analogy, the game updates will work like LEGOs. If you have a Batman LEGO set and a Star Wars LEGO set Warner Brothers and George Lucas cannot stop you from mixing them up and playing with them in the same setting! So the idea behind this game platform is that each release is different.. but you can use them together like LEGOs!

Sorry if this is old news, but I have seen too many posts saying this is only a Godzilla game, keep Gamera out etc etc. Let's please try to keep all conversation constructive, stop ripping on matrix. If he is annoying you, ignore him.
