Godzilla, four versions (including the 1995 version and the more current 2014 one from the box office hit).For good measure, it’s also got a who’s who of monsters from the films, as follows: More than likely, the sheer essence of classic cinematic Godzilla is what makes the game such a huge draw. This would allow players to recreate infamous battles from the films. For good measure, players could also unlock special modes related to Godzilla, such as Evolution Mode, the Kaiji Field Guide, and even the peculiar Diorama mode, featuring a number of memorable monster models. However, the team did its homework, going for that old-school mantra and even going as far as leveling up the destruction so that it took advantage of the PS4 hardware. The game was actually developed by the team at Natsume, a bit of a stretch from the previous developers of Godzilla games. IGN actually noted in its review (with a score of 4.5, by the way) that “the spirit of the old-school monster movie is where Bandai Namco absolutely nails it.” So what happened? Did the game strike a chord alongside the same levels as the previous PlayStation 2/Xbox/GameCube Godzilla games? Or did fans just want something featuring the big lug, since there are really no other games featuring him?Įven though most critics found the gameplay lacking in the new Godzilla game, there’s no question that its essence is true to the original films of lore. That makes it the rarest PlayStation 4 game out there, aside from the physical version of Gravity Rush Remastered, which also didn’t get that big a production run. If you do a quick search for the game on eBay, you’ll find that it’s become an impressive collector’s item, with complete copies selling for anywhere between $160 to $250 – and maybe even higher if the game is brand new and sealed. And when the license faded, it decided to quietly end its production and move onto other projects.īut then something happened. The game didn’t quite fare as well as the company was hoping, as it got poor scores from critics and didn’t sell as well as it would hope.

So, on PlayStation 4, it released a contemporary fighting game featuring the giant monster and his buddies, trashing everything as best as they could.

In 2014, Bandai Namco decided to give Godzilla another try on the console front, after years had gone by since the glory days of Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee and Godzilla Save the Earth.
