Title: Godzilla Unleashed for Wii
Post by: Arbok on January 22, 2007, 07:00:50 PM
Although Atari let slip that there was a Godzilla game in development just before the last E3, word has been null about anything since. Thankfully, confirmation from another company, Classic Media, has finally broken and the game is official. Given the occasion, it's also ceremonial that I plug ye old page for it:
Not much is known at this time, though, (beyond the title Unleashed and that it will be shown in a playable demo next month) but anyone who enjoyed either of the previous fighting games for the character should keep their eyes open for when this game gets closer to release.

I hope this game is good. I love Godzilla, but very few games have really captured Godzilla well.
This game really needs to be online, with 2 player battles. The Wii Mote will add some much needed control options to big monster games as well.
I would love to see Wiimote aiming to precision target Monster weak points and or the environment to knock down enemy monsters.
Picking up objects and throwing them could be much more engaging as well.

The last one was four player online, so hopefully this one would keep the tradition up.

I loved Godzillda: Destroy all Monsters Melee, and can't wait for this version for the Wii. My hopes would be that they'd balance the multiplayer a bit though, it was terrible to the game's replayabillity when someone stole your kill and scored 500 points. I'd like a percentage-of-damage based score thank you very much.
Multiplayer would also be great, they did it with the Xbox sequel to Destroy All Monsters, so there's no reason why the Wii version shouldn't be able to do the same.

After Reading IGN's interview this game is a definite rental for a party...and hopefully purchase. It sounds like they have progressively gotten better each game.

The second was worse then the first, due largely to the fact that they tried to do too much with too small of a time frame meaning that they had to crunch to get it out and slash features left and right.
This one should be much better, thanks to that hopefully not being a problem this time (I assume they will have a better grasp on it now)... and I really can't wait, Megalon looks fantastic here, with a great use of lighting.

Woohoo I loved the previous Godzilla games for GC and Xbox. Not only that but it appears to be an exclusive game built from the ground up for the Wii!
Title: RE: Godzilla Unleashed for Wii

Well it looks pretty, and they mention using the Wii-connect24 features!

Geeze, this game's a deffinite buy for me, I've become addicted to motion controls after playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and after reading that IGN news report and looking at those screenshots, there's no reason why this game shouldn't rock my world. Real-time destruction on buildings? Fully-realized Wii motion controls for multiple unique attacks at the same time? Xbox 1.5-like 16:9 graphics? Wii-Online support? Oh yeah, it's on my list.
I am utterly impressed by the visuals they're getting the Wii to perform, this'll be a real four-player treat!

I heard from the insiders at Monsterzero that Atari's learned their lesson and will not rush the product.
I'm surprised they're still using the red beam though. Of course the design is closer to the first 2 millenium movies than the latter 2. And judging by those crystals, I'm guessing Space Godzilla will most likely be in this game.

I just read the official press release of this game, it is coming out in autumn 2007, they could fine tune this game so well it's going to be awesome.

Post by: Ceric on January 31, 2007, 03:53:17 AM
Yep, I'm definitely looking forward to this game. Though I hope the motion recognition is better then Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. If the motion recognition was better I probably would have enjoyed that game even more then I did, which was a lot.

There have been six Millennium films thus far. The design is for the one that appeared in Godzilla: 2000 (1999), even though it was close to the one from Megaguirus with the exception of the latter being a overt green. Both had red beams, though, which wasn't dropped until the next film in 2001. The 2002/2003 designs were close to those first two, but lost the "alligator head" look.
I'm personally a fan of the appearance from 2001, but the game will most likely see a return of the 1999 and 1990's versions.

Oh yeah... I forgot about Final Wars... Or rather, I'm trying to pretend it didn't happen. I left out GMK because the design is radically different from the others. I figured since Kiyru Goji used blue beams and still look relatively close to 2K and GxM, I figured they would go with blue. Ah well, I'm sure we'll get a few other Godzilla forms that uses the blue beam. I'd love to see the one in GMK in this game.
Love the bump mapped snow and skin detail. Even the snow in SSX Blurr aren't bump mapped.
BTW, I'd love to see Toho piss people off by putting Bagan in this game.

Bumb.
Atari sent us some exclusives, including some new shots of the character models, and I must say I'm impressed:
Perhaps it's just my bias for the source, as I love Godzilla, but I think this is definitely shaping up to be one of the more graphically impressive titles coming to the Wii this year.
Title: RE:Godzilla Unleashed for Wii

Yeah, it looks nice. I hope it has online.

Is that Megalon model all they sent you? I was hoping for more screens. Great interview though!

It's not you, the game is graphically impressive. Kinda sad though since most developers are so damn lazy. You know, I was actually able to squeeze out SOME info out of Mr. Strange on gamefaqs about the graphic engine.

It helps when you are the largest "Godzilla focused" site on the net, both in terms of hits and content.
We have had a running relationship with Atari too going as far back as G: DAMM for the Gamecube, where I got to interview the producer, Kirby Fong. He stepped down during "Save the Earth", but a contributor of ours called Chris Mirjahangir really set his eyes on picking back up that relationship for this new game, and has been in constant contact with them, both through e-mail and phone, to make this possible. It sounds like we are going to get a lot more "eye turning" content this time around, which I'm thrilled about.
Really excited about this game too, and hope it does very well when it goes on sale as I would love to see this series continue, and remain on the Wii.

Poor Rodan, this is the second game where he has been revealed in an overhand fashion (last time it was through a loading screen...).

Time to bump this thread. I personally am quite interested in the game, especially after I read that the copies that have been reviewed were not final and that the team has been working on the game continuously. Sadly I have a feeling that only Arbok and I will be buying it.

I'll still be first in line to buy it... but yeah, not a ton of press, especially positive press, for the title outside of the niche Godzilla fandom.
Anyway, still trying our best to promote the title to our readers.

Well it was a relief to hear that the reviews were based off unfinished review copies, and it sounds like the developers care about it. So we'll see, I do have my copy reserved though. It is kind of funny but it sounds like it was the Sony version that got gimped.

It did. The PS2 version is largely just a update of the previous game, Save the Earth, with only two new characters added (Battra and Obsidius), both of which were clones of existing monsters in terms of play styles. The story does relate to Unleashed, but otherwise not a huge amount of change. Still decent, I suppose, if one has never played the previous game before.
Still, the real work went into developing the Wii version of the game.

Woot, that makes 3 of us! I am going to support the game because regardless of how it turns out, it is nice to see a company actually focus on the Wii version instead of making it a port of the PS2. Also it shows me that they cared about the final product to delay it. Hopefully things do turn out though.

But yeah, Pipeworks poured a ton of work into the title, so I'm hopeful, as someone who loved DAMM, that I will be in for a treat with Unleashed (at least for the Wii...).

I can't wait for this game. I was the only person in my area that reserved Godzillda: Destroy all Monsters Melee. And I think I'm the only one who reserved Unleashed too. For some reason my GameStop hasn't received any copies of it. I was all most tempted to just pick up the PS2 version.

I've been playing it non-stop, and love the game... but then I'm a huge fan of the franchise so I'm probably very bias on the subject. The controls definitely take some getting used to, that I will say.
Title: RE:Godzilla Unleashed for Wii

I've been playing it and while I'm still getting used to the controls the game is a good experience. It is too bad the move set is so limited, but the game is still a blast. Can't wait to play with someone else.
