Godzilla: Unleashed, abbreviated as G3, GU or G:U, is an upcoming Wii, DS and PlayStation Portable video game based on the Godzilla film franchise. Like the previous three home console entries in the Godzilla video game series, the Wii and PSP versions of the game will be developed by Pipeworks and published by Atari. An IGN interview with Pipeworks indicates that the game is being built from the ground up and is specifically designed with the Wii Remote in mind.
Gameplay
Arenas
A total of nine levels have been announced for Unleashed. The revealed arenas are Seattle (volcanic cataclysm), Sydney (frozen-wasteland), New York City (meteor apocalypse), Monster Island and San Francisco (ravaged by earthquakes and flooded by the Pacific Ocean).
Critical Mass
A new feature introduced for the Wii version of Unleashed is Critical Mass. It is the Unleashed version of the Save the Earth Rage Mode. The monsters achieve Critical Mass by either destroying the crystals or absorbing their energies. While in Critical Mass, the monsters glow with red light and deal significantly more damage at the cost of their defense. "Unleashed" has also replaced "Rage Attacks" with "Power Surges"; super-powerful attacks that are available in "Critical Mass", and which are unlocked after defeating enemy "boss" monsters in "Critical Mass" while in the "Story Mode" of the game. "Power Surges" are only usable in "Single Player Mode", and any one monster can have several "Power Surges". For example, two of Godzilla 2000's "Power Surges" are the "Radiation Surge", which enables the "Nuclear Pulse" Rage Attack, and the "Fire Surge", which enables the "Finishing Breath" Rage Attack.
Kaiju announced
Atari has revealed seventeen kaiju, with an eventual total of at least twenty-three, two of which are original creatures approved by Toho. There are four factions: Earth Defender, Alien, Global Defense Force and Mutant.
- Earth Defender
- Godzilla 2000
- Anguirus (Showa)
- King Caesar (Showa/Final Wars Hybrid)
- Mothra (Heisei/Millennium Hybrid)
- Mutant
- Alien
- King Ghidorah (Millennium)
- Gigan (Final Wars Hybrid)
- Megalon
- Global Defense Force
- Unspecified faction
Military vehicles
Military presence is displayed in the game through various vehicles shown at the periphery of battle. The Gotengo was seen briefly during recent gameplay, though its role has yet to be shown.
Story
The storyline of Unleashed begins with a meteor shower raining down on Earth, causing climate shifts and earthquakes. The Vortaak see this as an opprotunity to seize control of the planet and send their monsters to attack. Simultaneously, the kaiju of Earth begin to attack cities across the globe. Factions form among the members of Earth as well as the monsters attacking them, totalling four monster factions. Choices within the story affect later events, including the relationships between Earth factions and the monster ones. Earth Defender, Global Defense Force, Alien and Mutant have been confirmed by Pipeworks as factions in Unleashed.
Development
The Wii version of Unleashed are in development by Pipeworks Software. An IGN interview with Pipeworks states that the title is completely new and is specifically designed for use with the Wii Remote. There are also plans to use WiiConnect24 support for downloading purposes, but exact details have yet to be announced. IGN has a development blog running, but it is updated irregularly.
