To echo what some others have said, I’m also not all that impressed. Of course, my initial thoughts were “a new Godzilla game, one not made by Pipeworks (sorry, but as much as I loved DAMM and STE earth, GU basically killed everything good going for that series, regardless of its awesome kaiju cast), sounds cool!” But from initial screen shots and game trailer, I found the graphics to be very subpar for a 2014 game. Usually, I don’t have much patience for gamers who harp on graphics over gameplay, but sorry, this is 2014, and the graphics should be held to a much higher standard instead of looking a tad better than the Pipeworks games….totally inexcusable.
Also, the kaiju cast is also something that could potentially make/break this game for me as well. Of course, it doesn’t have to include every single Godzilla-related kaiju (God forbid if that ever happened, eh TOHO/Bandai?
), but a well-rounded, intriguing kaiju cast of both modern and contemporary kaiju from all eras would be very pleasing. On the other hand, if it's just the standard ho-hum heisei kaiju cast with a few millennium kaiju thrown in (which 99% of the time consists of either Kiryu or FW Gigan....zzzzzzzzzz), then I’d probably pass.
Additionally, a well-designed “open world/sandbox” Godzilla game does hold some some interesting possibilities, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by such a game, and if pulled off correctly, it would make me forget about the lackluster graphics. However, if the gameplay bears any resemblance (no matter how minor) to games like Godzilla Generations or Super Godzilla, then once again I’ll have to say “pass”…
