The folks at Gormaru Island managed to score a very in-depth and detailed list of notes from a player who got to BETA test the upcoming Godzilla PS3 game. Below are the notes they shared. Even more information and images can be found in the Official Godzilla PS3 game thread here on Godzilla-Movies.com.
GODZILLA GAME(PS3) Play-By-Play NOTES:
(These are notes written down by Soundwave's assistant who experienced most of the Play-By-Play Live-feed, and the small interview given to developers during it. Soundwave couldn't watch it since it was available in his region, but the coverage sent to him was spectacular and well informed!)Â
1. Jet Jaguar is incredibly agile and reflexive, it is capable of side-stepping your projectiles and most of your attacks. While countering with destructive counters. It is quite fast, and is dangerous in close-combat. Despite this, it has fairly fragile defense to balance out his advantages. So striking hard at the right moment can aid in winning the battle. The players who experienced this boss battle, while having a rocky start, managed to finish the fight! Nuclear pulse really helps out in close quarters!!Â
2. Kiryu was a boss battle players fought well against, UNTIL the rocket launcher packs were dropped and they were fighting against a speed-demon. However, having evolved above 60 meters, players endured the battle to the point in which Kiryu resorted to its Drill-Arm and Triple Maser cannons. One player managed to kill Kiryu before Garuda was summoned and reached the battlefield! She was pretty frightened about losing! (Your first encounter with Kiryu will be slightly above average in difficulty. But the more times you summon it by Disaster Level, the boss will increase in difficulty)Â
3. Mothra Larva...MOST PLAYERS LOST TO HER! Players were focused on fighting Mothra at close range, but underestimated the kaiju when it started hiding behind city structures and spraying Silk-Web to cocoon them. To be freed from the webbing, Nuclear Pulse is advised to escape, but if you drain your Temperature Meter, you'll have a harder time of escaping and can potentially be cocoon if careless in battle. Atomic Breath can stop Mothra during spray if aimed and struck properly. To avoid any damage, she will use her surroundings to shield herself away from your attacks. "Mothra's Song"(Healing factor) was turned off since players were doing pretty bad. This gave them a more, easier chance at winning against Mothra.Â
4. Destoroyah...NO. SURVIVORS. players, they were brave, they were courageous...But without achieving "Meltdown" (Burning), they generally stood no chance. Don't read these notes wrong, it wasn't ENTIRELY one-side, but you know it is bad when not even the developers want to take on Destoroyah. "Did we disable the Chest Cannon in this demo?" "No, why?" "Well then...Who wants my turn!?"Â
Other Notes :
-A new PV was shown, PV are Trailers basically. Didn't see it.
-The game has a cinematic opening sequence
-New monsters were teasedÂ
In addition to the play through, interviews with the developers also took place. Below are more notes from the interview:
-Sequels are currently on the table from how high preorder sales are, if Godzilla-Godzilla does well, they'll dive into green-light for 2015 production.
-If a sequel ignites into production, the developers plan to bring back BAGAN since they have Toho's blessing on using the character. They found their experience with "Super Godzilla" fun enough that they would be delighted to revive the villain.Â
-Working on GODZILLA(2014) as a playable character was exciting for the developers, they loved the film, and honorable accept G14 as Japan's Gojira. And they do admit, clearing the game is a lot easier when playing as him given his stats and abilities.Â
-Due to noticeable demand, the developers have entertained the thought of a Godzilla fighting game. If they were to do one, they would emulate the Godzilla films and Tokusatsu effects. But remain in the realm of traditional fighting games like Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters(SNES) or the Ultraman Fighting Evolution series.Â
-A PS4 Godzilla game has been talked about, they know fans have been wanting one so it's something they are looking into. But they want to see how well their current Godzilla games does on the market.Â
"Xbox One and Wii-U aren't consoles who welcome a Godzilla game unlike PlayStation, in which games on PS are openly accepted and can thrive on their own footing. They don't have to be shooters or a party-game for people to notice.Â
Plus majority of our audiences are on PlayStation, so if we produce anymore Godzilla games, they'll be on PlayStation only. Of course ports are still a possibility if the demand spurs strongly from other console communities."Â
-They know that fans overseas want their game to be localized, they read feedback upon articles and forums, and they notice their demand. They would be happy to bring the game over, but they couldn't discuss anything further for now. If things work out, fans will be hearing something in the near future!Â
