10 Ways To Make A Godzilla Video Game That Doesn't Suck
It's time Godzilla got the video game he deserves.
Godzilla is no stranger to the video game industry. Many games based on his legendary franchise have been released on a variety of different consoles, encompassing a surprisingly large mixture of genres ranging from 2D side-scrolling platformers, to 3D fighters. And, well, almost all of them have been pretty disappointing. Yes, the unfortunate reality is that the Godzilla brand hasnt ever been given a proper and fully fleshed out video game adaptation. While some (such as the PS2-era fighting games) do a decent job of adapting certain aspects of the franchise, most (like the recent PS4 release) end up being barebones, overly simplified cash-ins that dont do the character justice. This is a true shame, as the Godzilla universe is practically tailor made for video games. It contains a rich and over-the-top mythology full of larger than life characters complete with epic stakes and action. A truly great Godzilla game should capture all this in such a way that stays authentic to the character and the genre, whilst also being a genuinely good game in its own right. Simply put, Godzilla titles have sucked for far too long, and the following are just a few ideas that could go towards creating something starring the legendary lizard that could live up to his potential.
