MemberTitanosaurusJul-27-2018 12:42 PMI am still planning on making a full topic based on this exact question and try to create a (realistic) dream kaiju game, though it still needs some work.
Personally, I think the kaiju should have skins and different appearances so you can make that kaiju your own. For example showa/millennium Gigan skins, the many versions of Godzilla as skins, etc.
Long live the king...

MemberBaragonJul-27-2018 1:05 PMI agree also i think it should be for Xbox one and there should be one with all established stats such as strengths and weaknesses. and very detailed characters like in the ps4 Godzilla game but better with more work put into it and a good story and traditional controller gameplay and maybe even decisions to make like choosing to destroy or to protect also have customization options for height considering godzilla's size has ranged from 50 meters to 100+ meters so you can be as big as you want and an idea i would have for this is to have the monsterverse put in to a game with Canon abilities and have you pick a M.U.T.O. Or Titan to play as and battle for supremacy and have the main part of the game have Godzilla Rodan Mothra and King Ghidorah and as dlc characters have Kong The male and female M.U.T.O.'s and skull crawlers and a couple surprise Monsterverse appearances. And make it open world and you battle for the throne and you can choose to rule with mercy or rule with mass extinction and I would have this game made an Xbox one exclusive and I wish I was a video game designer so this dream could come true.

MemberGodzillaJul-27-2018 7:41 PMThe game could be really good if it was sort of like Peter Jackson's King Kong game way back on PS2.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-28-2018 7:00 AMEssentially just bring back the mechanics of the first couple Atari fighting games (but updated, smoothed out and streamlined of course), Save the Earth in particular, combine it with the excellent movie accuracy of the recent PS4 game, and include a roster with kaiju from all across every era.
I also wouldn’t mind a side facing Mortal Kombat style entry, but I do believe whatever it is would need to be a straight up fighting game.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-28-2018 8:00 AMDon't do a fighter. We have loads of those already.
Give me something new. A Beat-em-up would be great. Like Final Fight but with Kaiju.
Or a musou-style game.
Also don't try to be realistic. Slow moving characters =/= fun.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-28-2018 8:57 AMI think it would have to be a fighter but it could have a small single player story line to unlock all the characters. The roster should be a good size that includes monsters from different eras. Oh, and it should include online multiplayer so your not stuck fighting COMP's or only fighting the occasional friend. For the roster different stats should be attached to different monsters as well as different abilities. There could be different game modes such as destroy the other monsters, destroy as much of the city as you can, etc.

MemberTitanosaurusJul-28-2018 9:54 AMI have to agree with that. The Godzilla franchise is known for its monsters and the fights and I don't think that something like a beat-em-up game would fit the overall feeling of the Godzilla franchise. There could be a gamemode like a beat-em-up game though.
Long live the king...

MemberGodzillaJul-28-2018 11:53 AMWhat about a game where you play as a human? It is up to you to work things out before Godzilla decimates everything. Depending on how you do, the wrath level of Godzilla would change. Maybe here and there things could switch so you play as Godzilla and choose to rage on everything or zero in on a specific target.

KaijuBuildz
MemberTitanosaurusJul-28-2018 12:15 PMWasn't their a game like that were you play as the human last year? I remember a game like that with all sorts of kaiju from the Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera, and Ultraman series.
Long live the king...

MemberGodzillaJul-28-2018 12:23 PMKaijuWorld I am not sure, but there was a King Kong game on PS2 that played like that and it was pretty good.

MemberBaragonJul-28-2018 5:34 PMAll we need is a true successor to Godzilla: Save the Earth. Someone HAS to be smart enough to make this happen in the gaming industry.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-29-2018 10:51 AMWe need a campaign that includes a human side and a Godzilla side so you can play both rolls, it also needs a good Super Smash Bros like element, so we can have split screen battles as well as multiplayer fights ranging from a 1v1 to a 4 monster all out brawl Mabye even add teams so there could be 2v2 and we should include a wide rage of new monsters Gamera,King Kong,Ultra-man and more classic monster and we should also have a game mode witch involves humans going up against a monster, so we can have check points and the person who plays Godzilla or any other monsters has to get to every checkpoint before time runs out or he is stopped by the humans and mankind will be able to get in tanks jets and more, and humans can get special power ups allowing them to take control of an ali monster like mecha-Godzilla. Kinda like the behemoths in battlefield 1. We can also have battles between aliens and humans and it could be like battlefield 1 where the aliens can call in villain monsters like gigan and humans could call in mothra. And it could be like call of duty but with giant monsters.

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-29-2018 10:57 AMI want a Open World Godzilla game where you can destroy city’s and fight kaiju. I also want to have the option to drive around in a tank or fly a helicopter and play as a human. and I want good graphics and good controls. You should be able to choose between different kaijus to play as. You should also be able to play online and play spit screen with your friend. And it should exist both on PS4,Xbox one and computer both windows and Mac but most importantly PS4. And when the game has been out for a month or a half month a Kong:skull island dlc with new playable characters with the star of the dlc KONG. That would be the best Godzilla game ever!

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-29-2018 11:19 AMWe should add a creative element to the game as well, making our own giant monsters, you could finally make your dream of beating up Godzilla as a giant chicken come true!! Or you could make Voltron fight mecha-Godzilla! No Godzilla game has ever had a creative element like that. We need a fight mode, and a aliens vs humans battlefield 1 like mode and you could call down ali monsters and villain monsters depending on what team you were on. And the classic fight mode, we should also have a monster island freerome area too!

MemberMothra LarvaeJul-30-2018 2:47 PMThe most recent Godzilla game for that PlayStation 4 was actually pretty great. And additionally, there's a game released in Japan called "City Shrouded in Shadow" that puts you in the shoes of a random person who has to survive in the city during a Kaiju attack. There are different scenarios such as Ultraman, various Kaiju, and even Evangelion fighting the Angels. It's intense, and absolutely amazing.

MemberMothra LarvaeAug-13-2018 2:12 PMCreating your own monster would be awesome. Even though depending on the physics of the game it might be weird, like if you were to put King Ghiroah's neck(s) and head(s) on Mothra's body would that mean the monster is very top heavy lol? I would like to see a big story mode, maybe something like you play through each movie from '54 to Final Wars where you fight every monster (or just the army if there is only one monster).

MemberTitanosaurusAug-13-2018 6:59 PMHey, KaijuWorld. Are you sure you don't mean the game "Godzilla Daikaiju Battle Royale"?

KaijuBuildz
MemberTitanosaurusAug-13-2018 11:25 PMNo, I did some research and the game I was talking about was called ”city shrouded in shadows”. If you google it you will now what I mean.

MemberTitanosaurusAug-14-2018 4:17 PMI know what that is. Isn't that the one of the games Monster Island Buddies (MIB) did a livestream on?

MemberMothra LarvaeAug-01-2019 1:57 AMTaking what everyone here has said, an idea had struck me lately, that of a Godzilla game and a lot of what this guy made in this other topic forum originally said are around the same ideas I’ve had, but once I realized I was restricted to my own ideas I sought the forums as I don’t know any G Fans or Kaiju fans for that matter to confide in with such an idea. My answer is this super google doc I’ve made, that’s so far 6 pages of detailed framework for a Godzilla game, the roster of characters is,,,,, 70 currently, as the game itself would have to be ambition to not disappoint fans such as the Godzilla VS did. If anyone still here is interested, I’d be more than happy to share the link here.
