History VideoGame / Godzilla

''Godzilla'' is a 2014 video game developed by Creator/{{Natsume}} and published by Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, and the first ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' game since ''[[VideoGame/GodzillaDestroyAllMonstersMelee Godzilla: Unleashed]]'' was released 7 years earlier, assuming that one doesn't count the mobile games for ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. The game was originally developed for the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation 3}}, with a UsefulNotes/{{Playstation 4}} port. However, production of physical copies of the Playstation 3 version has ceased, and only the [=PS4=] version is available as of February 2015.[[note]]The [=PS3=] version ''is'' available via digital download, however, but watch out for scalpers if you're in the market for a physical copy![[/note]] Tamashii Nations, the makers of the S.H. [=MonsterArts=] toyline, designed the character models for the monsters. The game was released in Japan in December 2014 and was be internationally released on July 1st, 2015.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The game itself appears to be a spiritual successor to the obscure Godzilla [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] games, ''Godzilla Generations'' and ''Godzilla Generations: Maxium Impact'' in which there are alot of fixed camera angles while fighting hordes of JSDF and Super X's of the former and the fighting monsters of the latter, with none of the improbable jumping physics of the [[VideoGame/GodzillaDestroyAllMonstersMelee Atari games]].

* BonusBoss: Destoroyah: he only spawns under two very specific conditions and is always 100 meters no matter what.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Pretty much all of the invading kaiju come out of nowhere when you fight them, with the presence of Showa Mechagodzilla, Biollante and Spacegodzilla especially being jarringly unexplained given their elaborate film origins.

* GaiasVengeance: The operator during story mode theorizes that Godzilla's rampage is because of this.

* DownloadableContent:
** While none has been announced, the developer has hinted at Super Kiryu, the [=MUTOs=], and Kumonga.
** Zone Fighter is another character they have hinted at and they even hinted at DLC stories like the Red Bamboo army from ''Godzilla vs The Sea Monster'' and even pick up on some events where the movies left off. Wonder what politician Glen is doing now days?

* MeleeATrois: Multiplayer mode can have up to 3 kaiju all duking it out against each other.

** Sometimes you'll end up facing a monster and a warship at the same time. Biollante and the Super-X II are the most common matchup (though if you're on the hero or antihero path, the Super-X II will attack Biollante alongside Godzilla). If you're really unlucky, you could find yourself fighting ''[[UpToEleven all three]]'' Super-X warships at once. And if you're ''really'' unlucky, you'll face [[FromBadToWorse Gotengo and King Ghidorah at the same time]].

* DifficultySpike: If you're unlucky, the Kaiju you're facing will be at 100 meters. It's worth noting that Destroyah will always be at 100 meters.
** If you lose to a 100 meter monster, you'll get to fight a much easier monster.
** Destoroyah will only appear on the stage as the boss under a specific set of requirements; if you lose to him, when you retry the level, he will have been replaced by a different monster instead.

* DiscontinuityNod: In Anguirus's entry in the game's kaiju guide, it says he fought a monster called [[GodzillaRaidsAgain Gigantis]], which was banished from our plane of existence.

* TruerToTheText: Compared to the ''VideoGame/PipeworksGodzillaTrilogy'', and one of the most faithful Godzilla games to date. The monsters don't 'moon jump' anymore (in fact the only monsters capable of jumping are the ones who can actually fly), all the monsters only have powers they canonically possess, and the monsters move much more like they would in the movies rather than being able to run everywhere.

** Destoroyah, at 100 metres tall in every encounter, has a very specific set of requirements for him to spawn, and when he does, it always happens in the lower levels, normally when Heisei Godzilla is around 60 metres in height. Have fun fighting a 100m Destoroyah who towers over you!

** Invade and Defend mods have Heisei Godzilla as the FinalBoss, with Burning Godzilla as the TrueFinalBoss.

** The Invade and Defend Modes' normal FinalBoss is Heisei Godzilla, but getting to the 100 meter mark unlocks Burning Godzilla as the TrueFinalBoss.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Biollante is listed as one of the 'invading' kaiju trying to destroy everything, rather than a defending one, unlike her film counterpart who was on humanity's side.

* DualBoss: Sometimes you'll end up facing a monster and a warship at the same time. Biollante and the Super-X II are the most common matchup (though if you're on the hero or antihero path, the Super-X II will attack Biollante alongside Godzilla). If you're really unlucky, you could find yourself fighting ''[[UpToEleven all three]]'' Super-X warships at once. And if you're ''really'' unlucky, you'll face [[FromBadToWorse Gotengo and King Ghidorah at the same time]].

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The final battle of the regular Single Player campaign has Legendary's Godzilla facing off against the Heisei Godzilla. [[spoiler:However, with Godzilla having entered his Burning phase by this point, this ends up becoming a CurbStompBattle some have criticized as being on par with the fight against Zilla in ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars''. That said, this only happens in God of Destruction mode, if faced in Invade mode, they're on fairly even terms.]]

* BigEntrance: ''All'' the Kaiju have an intro cutscene in the PS4 version that gives them one of these. Most of them are even MythologyGag references to their previous appearances.

** If you lose to a 100 meter monstee, you'll get to fight a much easier monster.
