So the upcoming mobile game tie-in for Godzilla 2014 now has a trailer. It's, well


Pretty much what the thread title calls it. Yay, look at Godzilla smash shit. What was that? I'm sorry I was too busy watching the screen below the action. Jeeze, talk about distracting from Godzilla. It's kinda like saying "hey look, Godzilla's over there but we are going to keep your attention on Zilla here." Why couldn't we get another entry to those great fighting games? What is your lot's take on this?

It looks like that Puzzle Quest game, where you match 3 to fight zombies and skeletons. That game was turn-based, so you can probably match 3, then look at the destruction. A little simplistic for the King of All Monsters, but seems like an okay idea.

Could've been worse. The Pacific Rim mobile tie in game was just a fighting game meets Infinity Blade type deal, and it wasn't particularly good with either concept...

I admit I'm not a big fan of the match 3 genre unless it does something really fun and interesting (which this trailer leads me to believe No, unless I find out there are like boss levels where he'll fight Hokmuto or something) so I'll probably only pick this up when I see it on sale in the Free section of the app store.

That's the upside of mobile gaming, a lot of games just go on sale for free eventually.

I wanna say there actually have a few decent movie tie in mobile games...I just can't think of them off hand. The Iron Man 3 one was actually pretty cool, but it suffered from HUGE freemium problems.

I'm really concerned for you, Cojo. When Godzilla finally comes out, plays and leaves theaters, I can only imagine you'll spend the rest of your life wandering the wastes screaming for giant lizards to end it all.

OT: It's not the worst choice. They could have done Godzilla Parcheesi.

I laughed harder at that than I should of. I kinda feel bad now.

But I will have to agree with Cojo and say we need more fighting games with Godzilla. Actually we need another War of the Monsters game. We need more Kaiju based games the more I think of it.

You should look into Colossal Kaiju Combat. It's a series being put together by the same people that did the games like Godzilla Melee and Unleashed and stuff.

I have no idea when they're actually going to get around to making their first game, but supposedly they've got Kaijuland Battles (already greenlit) coming to Steam for free, and eventually they're going to release Fall of the Nemesis, and a bunch of other titles with Kaiju chosen by fans like us. I think they said the goal is to do 12 total games.

Even if they never get around to releasing these games, they've got a lot of great monsters illustrated by Matt Frank. Here's a compendium so far.

My personal favorites are Macrosaurus, Moratitan, Grimmgarl, BullDozer, and Prospector Pete.

You can pre-order stuff here, but there hasn't really been much word on when any of these games are going to be coming out. Kaijuland Battles was supposed to be out sometime last year...

They say for $100 you can basically pre-order every single game they plan to make. Which sounds like a good deal on paper, but that's only if they actually go end up making 12 games...

I actually already greenlit that over at Steam a couple months ago. But thanks for sharing the pictures. I love me some Kaiju pictures.

Uh... Yeah... I'll stick with Destroy All Monsters Melee, thank you...

OT: I would be ironic if this new Godzilla movie would be boring enough for someone to actually pull out their phone and play this particular game...

Granted, I'm biased enough to say that both of those situations would never happen when the new Godzilla comes out...
