Okay I have to be frank with you people, there is something very wrong with society when a game like http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/14214732/kaiju-combat is struggling to be made. This is the first step towards getting Godzilla back in a game kicking some ass. As a society that thrills in violence I have no idea why you wouldn't be in love with Godzilla. I mean he's this gigantic monster literal made from a [censored] explosion, the atom bomb! The biggest kind of bomb, and he survived it to go on a big rampage killing and destroying people. Hell he should be the poster boy of the FPS, his back story fits perfectly a T. Except he just happens to be better than fps hero in every way after that. So why not? No he didn't just survive, he improved. Yep he was such a swell guy he shrugged it off and moved on with his life dedicating it to a higher order of destruction. Most things hit with atom bombs that survive would wallow in a post apocalyptic misery at how ugly they are. Godzilla went on to destroy Tokyo and many monsters in a successful career as a Kaiju. Pffft, people can't compare to that. Imagine if you could harness this power, forget yoda. He doesn't need a lightsaber, lightsaber would go limp at the sight of Godzilla. Let's make a checklist to compare Godzilla to the average FPS hero and see who is cooler.

Godzilla:
- 100m Tall, he looks down on you with indifference as he stomps around Tokyo (and sometimes America, but that "new" one doesn't count)
- Atomic Breath, this will basically melt any known thing ever. Nothing is known to be immune to this.
- Super Regenerative, this badass can just keep going. He isn't going to get "sick" like some lame human.
- Immune to conventional weapons, too bad humans all use conventional weapons. Looks like he got you beat.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74E4OFTJNW0 (awesome), just hearing it alerts you to the fact someone is going to get wrecked somewhere.
- Has killed more giant monsters than you can shake a stick at.
- His junk, just imagine it... now picture you. Now feel inadequate, nothing more!


I can keep going on the 100% awesome factor of Godzilla, but that wouldn't be fare. So to give the average FPS character a chance I will begin listing their best traits.

FPS Hero:
- Small, usually around 6 feet. Perfect height for being stomped on. At least it makes Godzilla look more glorious as he looks up to be squashed by him.
- Smelly onion breath that made him lose his girlfriend. Why do you think this guy is so pissed off trying to kill people? He also has no friends most of the time and never talks. Smelly onion breath folks, not what you want in a hero.
- Oddly enough usually does posses super regenerative abilities, but nowhere near as effective as a giant atomic lizard hell bent on [censored] up your day. Oh and his vision goes red or blurry when wounded, Godzilla never needs eyedrops when getting wounded in a fight. So who's really the mutated freak here? PS... onion breath.
- Not immune at all to conventional weapons, and is quite easy to kill. Godzilla usually kills about anywhere form a few hundred to tens of thousands of people in his films. FPS guy is lucky if he can kill that much i one entire game, pffft weak. All of these people killed are comparable to FPS hero in terms of lameness. No chance at all, hell even a small jump can hurt himself and cause blurred vision. Hope he has those eydrops. What makes you think he would survive Godzilla?
- Doesn't have a theme, because generic FPS guys don't deserve themes. Jeese, no one is going to go and make an epic orchestral track for generico over here. Laugh derisively at him.
- Has probably killed a few hundred people, that's like being proud of killing a few hundred flies over the course of your life. All of that with a gun. You won't see him charge up to a bear and start fighting with it to try and prove how manly he is because he isn't, the bear would make a laughing stock of him. Probably cried in Bambi as well, Godzilla don't give a [censored].
- Pffft. not comparable. Feel emasculated before death.
Now as you can see Godzilla is quit a badass, so why the hell aren't more games being made with him? Forget the [censored] lamesauce generico hero. We need the only one capable of fending off other ridiculously sized monsters in deadly mortal combat to the death. Of course Godzilla is so badass he'll let them stand a chance. Otherwise an army of them wouldn't be a fair fight. So I ask you forum, regain you sense of purpose! And see this game funded, spread the word to enlighten others as to the superior quality of Godzilla (and soon all will feel emasculated).

Probably the same reason why Metal Wolf Chaos isn't released in the western world.

Giant Mecha? Check.

US President piloting said mecha? Check.

Voices default in english? Check.

Civil war where the US President needs to use said Mecha to regain control of the USA? Check.

WHY ISN'T THIS GAME RELEASED IN THE US!?!

Original monsters, plus Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman. I wish I had money.

While the game does look awesome, is the condescension really necessary? Yeesh.

The fact is....FPS shooters, and popular RPG's are just that...very popular. And even though you think that Godzilla is awesome...that's your opinion, and frankly, not one that is shared by many gamers. Especially those that are into fighting games. Monster fighting games just aren't that popular. Even though you love godzilla....most people, including myself, just aren't interesting in playing a shallow fighting game that sells only based on the fact that it's giant monsters.......

Godzilla has no personality. We also know Godzilla's inevitable demise is going to occur, usually in a standard way through events and,character interaction and triumph in circumstances that are predictable and generic, due to bad characterization of said characters.

Uh... it was a joke... if that wasn't clear.

@gamma
Godzilla. soon to be making movies for 60 years! When the new one is released. Doesn't seem dead to me, he just needs to take a break from winning to let everyone else have a chance.

Have you ever watched a Godzilla movie? A real one? Not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla_(1998_film)?

Yes! A Godzilla fan, or perhaps someone who just knows a little. That atrocious thing isn't Godzilla, and won't be in the upcoming American remake.

I'm not surprised it's not getting much support. The page doesn't exactly ooze gaming excellence and just throwing Godzilla at the problem isn't going to help.

When I read those two sentences, I immediately thought about the things Chael Sonnen and his fans were saying leading up to his two defeats to Anderson Silva. Just a random thing I thought I should bring up.

Yeah, Godzilla is certainly overdue for a game. I enjoyed the Godzilla Melee game quite a bit, though the shallowness made the game wear off fast. If the next Godzilla game is done right, I wouldn't see a reason why it wouldn't sell well, except for the fact that a good chunk of today's gamers probably don't care much for the giant reptile.

I'd be down with a Godzilla fighting game.

Godzilla Final Wars made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIcExdpsEcQ.

man that game looks....fun as hell

I'd play the [censored] out of that game. I don't know why video game developers neglect the awesomeness factor of games so often.

He's cheap.
