Dream DLC picks, huh.... I guess I'd go Showa Gamera, King Kong, Ghidorah and a 1968 Godzilla

Finally got a ps5. Excited to try this out hopefully it’s a sign for a new full blown original Godzilla game in the near future. One can hope

^Anyone think this could be Toho experimenting for a whole new Godzilla game?

While I can't say I'm crazy about GigaBash's original story or characters (the building monster is cute though), I do think they did a great job making Godzilla and co playable characters and would love to see a full-fledged Godzilla game from these developers.

Yeah a lot of the original characters are hit or miss, and I really hate the way monsters get knocked up into the air all the time....but the Toho characters LOOK amazing, and they managed to show more appreciation for the franchise with 4 DLC characters than Pipeworks did in 3 full fledged games.

The hate for G:U I get, but are you implying DAMM and STE are bad?

I’m gonna hard disagree on that last statement.

I like most of these OC’s (esp the likes of Rawa and Pipijuras) but I cannot deny the love they poured into the Godzilla DLC. I hope they have more support and DLC planned for the game because it is really fun to play.

Bad? No.

Movie accurate? Also no. They had little to no respect for the source material, and it showed. "Let's just give everyone beams because it makes things easier" - Simon Strange, basically.

Heads up, supposedly the godzilla dlc has a limited time license and won't be on the digital store forever. From one of the devs on the discord, "All I can say is that it'll be limited time only, so grab it while you still can!"

No indication of how long it'll be, for all I know it could be a few years. A part of me is really put off by this from Toho, but I still want to support the Gigabash dev team (and want to encourage future collaborations) and got it regardless.

I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

Almost every character in the first two pipeworks games had a beam weapon of some sort in an incarnation of said character. The only characters that had added ranged weapons were JJ and Angurius, both of which have logical reasons as well. 1. They were added for gameplay purposes since beam attacks is a command button and 2. Angurius's roar attack is based off GRA when he roared so load from being bit on the neck that it caused Osaka castle to crack. In JJ's case, they were paying homage to Ultraman since they could not have ultra man in the game. 3. Even Gigan's teleport ability was added so that his iconic flyby buzzsaw attacks for could be executed in a gameplay setting.

That hardly constitutes little to no respect for the source material (plus balanced gameplay is more important than 100% minute respect to source material).

Anyways, when I finish grad school this semester and have a (hopefully) big boy job, I will get this game. Gigan looks fun.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.

Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.

Edit: So with more research, this is apparently not an uncommon practice, but still if you hadn't gotten it and want to get it, I'd suggest sooner rather than later, because who knows how long it will stick around (particularly with how long things like the godzilla shorts on youtube stay up, or if it's an expensive license who knows how many times PR games would be able to renew it).

Downloaded this and played it on my PC, but I really wish they'd get an Xbox version out. Then I'd play it a lot more...

They also added beams for Titanosaurus and Varan, which is just silly. If Street Fighter has made it 30 years without giving Zangief or Blanka fireballs, I don't see why EVERY character in a Godzilla game has to have a beam weapon.

In that same game, Biollante can beam clash and balances herself on four thin tendrils like stilts. You're right on the beams for Varan and Titanosaurus, but it's funny that THAT'S still the go-to complaint for character respect in G:U. Varan is one of the best characters in the game, at least for me.

I just don't understand why "every" character had to have a beam/be able to beam battle, but somehow Anguirus got off okay with just the "sonic roar", but, oh well.

The fighting in the Godzilla games felt better than it does in GigaBash, but I like the little nods to the Toho characters in GB, like Godzilla having his jumping dance and sliding dropkick, etc. Pipeworks didn't put a ton of attacks/animations pulled straight from the movies into their games, at least not as far as I remember, but I haven't played them in years.

The developers are holding a couple polls to see which franchises should be added as DLC next.

Poll #1 - King Kong / Pacific Rim / Ultraman / Attack on Titan:
https://twitter.com/NgAikSern/status/16 ... 2421474305

Poll #2 - Gamera / Power Rangers / Evangelion / More Godzilla:
https://twitter.com/NgAikSern/status/16 ... 3019601920

There's only a few hours left on the first poll, so hurry and get your vote in!

So, ultimately, the results are:
  • Gamera - 36.3%
  • Ultraman - 34.2%
  • Pacific Rim - 33%
  • Power Rangers - 22.5%
  • More Godzilla - 21.6%
  • King Kong - 20.8%
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion - 19.6%
  • Attack on Titan - 12.1%
Here's hoping that at least the top four get added to the roster (though, of course, the dream is that they all do)!
