Godzilla (2014) video game tie-in?

[Beef Bigshot]

That's a great fricking idea. I have had "fantasies" about a game like this. Kinda like skyrim but with good graphics, the worlds to explore (planet X) and dynamic building destruction. It would also be nice to see better monster hit boxes like spot on. But sadly I don't believe this will happens for the 2014 game. Perhaps kiaju combat can accomplish this ^

Who could develop the game?

[miguelnuva]

I won't count on NetherRealm on making a Godzilla game since they have other games in mind at the moment. I remember reading that they plan on releasing MK10 in 2014 when the new movie comes out. Same with Rcoksteady since they are rumor to work on a upcoming TMNT game.

MK10 must isn't going to be as good as MK9 as NR has been working on injustice and that only gives them a year to focus 100% on MK10.

I guess they could just do a new story mode and add characters from MK4 and up.

What about a 'decision-making', build-your-own story game like The Walking Dead? I think there's a fair amount of potential in something like that. For example, lets say one of the several characters you play as is a general. Godzilla shows up and attacks San Francsico, and this guy is tasked with coordinating the response. So you have choices to make. Do you attack him? If so, how? Air strike? Tanks? Artillery? Each option would have different ramifications, liklihood of success, etc. Or do you focus on evacuating civilians and minimizing damage? Again, you get multiple choices that play out differently. Then once the general's call is made, you switch to the perspective of a soldier on the ground that has to carry the plan out (or disobey orders and do his own thing, maybe?), and deal with whatever issues arise. Other characters, playable and otherwise, come into play as you go.

Godzilla himself would be affected by these choices, of course. For example, maybe he isn't in the city looking for a fight, but just passing through. Attacking him might piss him off, send him into a full-blown rampage that destroys the entire city. There might be long-term effects, too: as the game progresses, his general attitude toward humanity might be important. Turn him against us, and he'll go out of his way to attack us at every turn. Stay on his good side, and he'll protect us from invaders like Ghidorah or whatever. Maybe you'd get to play as Godzilla at some points, too, and make his decisions yourself. Plus do some of his fighting and smashing, of course.

Anybody else think something like this might work?

As long as it is executed well and it does sound interesting then I'll give it a shot.

I know that Activision took snippets of past 007 adventures with the James Bond license with mixed results. I think that the same could be done with Godzilla in a sandbox environment, taking bits of 29 movies and mashing them together in an overarching story. You could start the game of with the first level, King of the Monsters, say as Steve Martin and literally follow Godzilla's movements throughout Tokyo, avoiding the chaos of fleeing pedestrians ans damaged buildings, and go from there. Some levels you could play as Godzilla and some as human characters.

The sandbox format could be huge, pun intended, for Godzilla.

That would be awesome if done right.

Imagine how long it would take to create the entire earth to roam on, they should just focus on major points AROUND the world and make those the places you go to

[Godzilla165]

^Well the game shouldn't force you or automatically switch you over to a mini game when you are having fun just roaming around and hanging out in the world. You should always have a choice on what you want to do, don't feel like fighting a monster right now? No problem, you'll encounter it again. Also yes making the ENTIRE Earth roam able would be near impossible, but still make the game and the locations HUGE to where like I said before you could get achievements by going to another city, country, or even state by putting in the time and effort to walk, swim, or even fly there once you unlock other monsters by beating them who have the ability of flight. You can have SpaceGodzilla for example and go Minecraft third-person style on a city or anywhere you please and turn the entire area into your crystal fortress, and could get a reward for putting in the effort and time to do so. Monster Island could be a secret location that's worth an 100 point achievement or a huge in-game prize that you only get by going there with each monster and exploring/destroying areas of the island if you want.

See... Stuff like this adds a shit ton of more replay value, and would draw in thousands of fans and non fans alike.

I'd rather have another fighting game featuring elements from the legendary films with side missions where you play as a soldier on the ground during a fight you just played before and some other stuff.

minigames are often really gimmicky. That doesn't bother you guys at all.

Sandboxes unless they are like GTA or Saints row = less replay value then a fighting game. The best thing to do would be to make your idea the single player story and then for multiplier make similar to this.

Of course Godzilla and the others would be bigger but the buildings physics and stage size is how I would want it.

[Godzilla165]

^ Of course I mean for this idea to be the single player aspect of the game, see my previous post for my multiplayer idea.

That sounds amazing.

I would LOVE to see someone like Telltale make a godzilla game like that..

[KingGhidorah]

If they make a game, I want these guys to review it:

I still want that game where you play as Godzilla in an open-world environment and complete various different challenges and fight other monsters and of course, cause destruction. That's the kind of Godzilla game I want. I'm still waiting for it.

Make Godzilla smaller, like 100 feet for larger environments. I still want it.

[Godzilla165]

^ 100 feet/meters is the biggest that Godzilla has ever been as of right now.

[gzilla46]

^ 100 feet/meters is the biggest that Godzilla has ever been as of right now.

I thought he was 200 feet.

[Godzilla165]

His infamous height that has never really been achieved is 400 feet.

[miguelnuva]

Godzilla at the max is 328 feet.
