Lady Lilith Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-12-05/godzilla-ps3-ps4-game-gets-n-american-release-in-summer-2015/.81829 Bandai Namco Games announced on Friday that it will release the new Godzilla game on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in North America in summer 2015. Video game news source IGNposted a video to reveal the announcement. The game was originally announced for release only in Japan on PlayStation 3. Bandai Namcoannounced that the game is appearing on The Game Awards, which began airing at 9:00 p.m. ET on Friday. Players will be able to control both the classic TOHO version of the monster and the 2014 American film Godzilla in the game. The game will also feature the Type 92 Maser tanks, Super X 2, Super X III, Super Mecha Godzilla, and MFS-3 — as well as Godzilla's rivals: King Ghidorah, Biollante, Mothra, Mecha Godzilla, Jet Jaguar, Hedorah, and Destoroyah. The "ultra-destructive Godzilla action" game commemorates the 60th anniversary of the titular monster by letting you play the monster itself against human civilization, as you clear missions by destroying buildings and weapons. The game recreates the camera angles that invoke the sense of scale, the fireworks explosions, and the latest techniques from the original tokusatsu (special effects) films. Famitsu magazine described a backstory that takes its cues from TOHO's first Godzilla movies: Godzilla, who appeared in Tokyo in 1954 and was brought down by the secret weapon Oxygen Destroyer, has somehow made landfall again. As the players complete missions to destroy civilization, Godzilla will increase size and physical strength. Godzilla starts at 50 meters (164 feet) and can grow to double that size. Players gain points when Godzilla destroys the town, but the resistance from humanity becomes more difficult as the game goes on. Godzilla for the PlayStation 3 arrives on December 18 for 7,600 yen (about US$64). The first copies of the game will include an early unlock code for the Hollywood Godzilla (2014) as a bonus extra. Pre-orders will include one of three randomly distributed "Heat Up Godzilla" reproductions of theater bonus figurines. So...it's based on the old 50s movies? Kinda odd for a 2014 game to be based on something so old. I mean, it's not like I really keep up with Godzilla anymore, I didn't even know there was a new movie out.

BlueFireReaper Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah, but they're bringing in the new ゴジラ, so I'm expecting a brawl between the two Godzillas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snokes Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's probably meant to appeal to people who are already Godzilla fans with the callbacks to the old film being fanservice of sorts. It's also a 60th anniversary title, so it makes sense for it to commemorate Godzilla's early movies despite how long ago they were. I can say as a longtime Godzilla fanatic that I am pretty excited for this game. Doing my best to keep my expectations to a minimum, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilSeba55 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) It doesn't seem like a game worth full retail, but we'll see. I love sandbox games where I can destroy stuff. Edited December 6, 2014 by LilSeba55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remilia Scarlet Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm super excited for this! I've been a Godzilla fan since I was a small child! Soooo glad that Godzilla is making his first appearance on PS3/PS4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 This game looks so clunky, but in a good way, can't be a Godzilla game without the awkward feelings attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This game looks so clunky, but in a good way, can't be a Godzilla game without the awkward feelings attached. true the demo on PS3 is quite fun and challenging, King Ghidorah is one tough cookie to beat. i can honestly say i have not beaten that sucker yet (only tried 3 times so far though).

I've almost pulled the trigger twice now, during sales, but can't quite bring myself to leave it in my cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take a while with my slow as molasses high speed (HAHAHAHAHA) internet speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Currently Downloading...couldn't wait. ALSO I found out you also get the pre-order bonus character (The Hollywood 2014 Godzilla) free as an add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 GODZILLA IS MINE!!!!!! So far the Destruction mode is mediocre. I'm still trying to figure out why the people at Namco thought it would be a good idea to use the shoulder buttons to turn Godzilla left and right instead of using the right analog stick. It makes for a clunky control scheme to start out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
