| Chris: Is the
PS2 version of Godzilla: Unleashed a port of
the Wii game, the PSP game or an all new game using
the same title?
Keehwan: The PS2 version of Godzilla Unleashed is
not a port. Although the design is based on the Wii
version, all the code, 3D models, and animations were
created specifically for the PS2.
Chris: When the game was formally announced for
the Wii, it was said that the all new mechanics couldn't
be mapped to a conventional controller because it
was being developed from the ground up for the Wii
specifically. With the PS2 version being announced,
does this mean that control features in this version
will be sacrificed?
Keehwan: Nothing has been sacrificed in the PS2 version.
The PS2 version has the same number of moves/attacks
as the Wii version. The only key difference is that
the PS2 version does not have motion based input due
to the differences in the controller capabilities.
Chris: When did the decision to port Godzilla:
Unleashed to the PS2 come about and what was the
reasoning behind it?
Keehwan: The PS2 version of Godzilla Unleashed
was always in the back of my mind since we started
pre-production back in 2006. It was around springtime
(2007) when it became evident that the PS2 was still
a very viable platform and that was when we decided
to put it into full production. The goal is to bring
the Godzilla Unleashed experience to as many
gamers as possible; therefore, releasing it on Wii
and PS2 made a lot of sense. The install base of both
these platforms is huge, and that’s not even
including handhelds like the DS (don’t forget
about the DS version).
Chris: Will the game allow for 4 player multiplayer
action via the PS2 multitap?
Keehwan: Yes, absolutely. What is a Godzilla game
without 4P Multiplayer action?
Chris: Will the game support online play?
Keehwan: Unfortunately, online play for the PS2 did
not make sense after doing a cost-benefit analysis.
Not many people go online with their PS2.
Chris: Will this game see release alongside the
Wii version or is it slated for release in the future?
Keehwan: All versions of Godzilla Unleashed are scheduled
to release simultaneously.
