I'm hoping the extra monsters are Monsterverse exclusives, I mean it would be boring if we got only Toho monsters.

I would love a new game that has newer kaiju but that might be asking for too much

Personally, I thought it was Rodan when I first watched the trailer. However, the ambulatory motions don't seem like they're possible for Rodan.

The former.

By “remastering”, do they simply mean re-releasing the three games on current consoles and up scaling them to HD or do they mean something like Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy where the basic gameplay is the same, but all of the models and backgrounds and visuals have been upgraded?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d be really happy for either direction, as I love these games, but I’m just a tad confused is all.

To the first or second G little "m" man? :P

^No, it's not.

Around 2,000 more signatures in just the last few hours is pretty impressive. I'd say this kind of camaraderie is a wonderful representation of the fan base at Christmas. The surge was great. Hope it can keep up the momentum for more. As long as it continues to get shared, we're doing pretty well for a niche fanbase.

Is it even confirmed at this point that burning Godzilla will appear? That trailer shot could just be Godzilla walking through flames. 

I never had the opportunity to play Unleashed growing up, so it would be a massive pleasure to play a remastered version. Save the Earth was my go-to rental growing up.

The fact that Pipeworks has taken notice is awesome. I hope Atari gets on board, I grew up with these games and LOVED them... except Godzilla Unleashed cause I got it for PS2 and the PS2 version was garbage compared to the next gen versions. Hahaha I remember being so disappointed. But Save The Earth was always a blast.

I really hope this happens.

I am impressed with both the traction and passion this is getting. GNN has been a lot of fun to speak with and his aggressiveness to get support is great.

With Pipeworks taking notice I do hope something comes of this. Though I wonder (and worry) how Toho factors in to this.

It's nice... but it's lacking in flare.

Don't think MechaG will appear. I'd love to see it though. A modern Kiryu looking machine just filled to the brim with every desperate weapon Monarch could think of -- I love it 

My guess is that Mothra will power up Goji. Goji will be grappling evenly with Ghidorah after getting nuked and upgraded, and Mothra's sacrifice will help him finish the fight for good.

Honestly, it's hard to say. There have been supposed "leaks", but I'm wary to look them up or believe them.

It could be something of a mix, whereby Godzilla gains the energy of Rodan and/or Mothra in order to absorb King Ghidorah's energy to power up even further and defeat him once and for all.

That'd be an interesting way to pay tribute to the previous ways Godzilla's powered up.

Perfection. 

@Godzilla's tail I wish! I wouldn't mind a final wars/ showa level of OP tbh.

Godzilla seems to have much fuller dorsal plates and in the final shot of the second trailer is basically larger than Ghidorah in terms of musculature; Ghidorah's necks look like noodles in comparison.

My guess is Goji will get a powerup from a nuke or something and grow stronger permanently, just like in vs. King Ghidorah and FinalWars in the last fight

Hahaha I know, I find it difficult to assume that Kong would NOT be a formidable opponent.

"C'mon.. it's a movie, Kong will be a formidable opponent, bc it will be written that way."

^Christ. Probably one of the most intelligent point-of-views I've witnessed from anyone in this fandom regarding the film.

Guys, plz stop acting like this is gonna be real fight.  "He will beg to kneel before our Holy Majesty God Lizard", C'mon.. it's a movie, Kong will be a formidable opponent, bc it will be written that way.  It doesn't matter how much more powerful Godzilla is considered to be, there's a story around the big fight, they are 2 good guy mythical Earth protectors.  So surely there will be some larger threat, and Kong will not be written like a bitch to be slapped down by the God Lizard King.  They'll be written pretty much as equals, and rightfully so.  They're both icons.

What's this crap about this being the "Final Installment in the Monsterverse Quadrilogy"?  Whoever wrote this needs to slow their roll, we have no idea what's gonna happen after 2020.  Stop declaring the Monsterverse dead before its 2 biggest movies have their shot at the box office.  With GKotM's trailers being so incredible, who knows, it, GvsK, or both could become a phenomenon, make $750M to a billion at the box office, and sell a metric f**k-ton of merchandise.  If anything close to that happens, or they both just make the $400M to $500M the first two made, then Warner Bros will make more.  Toho might be doing their shared universe once the deal ends, but they'll still make deals with WB if they make good money off of these two.  So, a deal maybe struck where we will see less Godzilla, or just after a certain time period.  Or possibly they(WB) create a MechaGodzilla and use Toho monsters that Toho has no plans for, as well as original kaiju, and between them, Mecha, & Kong, we may not see Godzilla himself return till a few movies later in a DestroyAllMonsters-like film.  I'm just spit-balling here but either way, if the next 2 succeed, there will be a new deal, and we will see more Monsterverse.  WB won't let a cash cow slip thru their fingers bc of rights.  They are huge by comparison to Toho, and money talks, and it's all just free money to Toho, only costing them shifts to their development & release schedule.  I personally hope the Monsterverse  goes the Monarch MechaGodzilla route next, followed by a Kong sequel, to give Toho their chance to get their shared universe off the ground.  Then depending on how those do, who knows what could happen?  Then I think we actually could have a problem between Toho & WB and see a final film come about, or the Toho films only come out on video in America.  But Toho can make their movies a lot faster, so hopefully they'll just be able to work around each other's schedules.  This went on way too long, but the main point is wait and see, don't declare the Monsterverse dead yet.  If GKotM is terrible and performs badly, then we can talk.

I agree, it's Total Trash.  It commits the biggest sin movies can commit, it's incredibly boring.  I haven't read the prequel Monster Apocalypse, but it sounds much more like what people would've wanted.  I'm all for doing something different, Shin being a good example, but it has to either tell a really good story, or just a decent one, supplemented by some awesome monster battles and fan service/appearances.  This series promised the latter while hyping the 1st one's release, only for us to find out all those monsters & their big story, was just the set up to only be mentioned in the actual movie.  That is not a good way to start a series.  All would've been forgiven if it was good, but the story, and everything else, was just total garbage.  I had a lot more to say about them, specifically criticizing each in great detail, right after I watched them, but I got it all out and tried to block them from my memory.  Plus I'm sure you don't want to read all that.  I'm not sure which side of the fence the OP falls on, or if he hasn't seen them, but suffice it to say, I was VERY disappointed, and I'm REALLY not hard to please.

Ideal Fantasy Scenario: Godzilla and Kong fight a bit then team up to the beat the crap out of Gamera. There are no human characters. 

Best Realistic Scenario: Godzilla and Kong fight a bit then team up to fight Mecha-King Ghidorah. Human characters are mainly superfluous. 

He'll grab him by the tail(s) and throw him back into outer space

King Kong ain't got shit on Godzilla no matter how big he gets. Granted Kong is a mighty kaiju but in the end he will beg to kneel before our holy majesty God Lizard! Godzilla is gonna kick Kong's ass! Godzilla is King!

Still enjoy it because it was my very first introduction to Godzilla, and the added scenes are not too intrusive. Although Gojira is a much better film, I continue to have a soft spot for GKOTM.

Fantastic representation of one of my top 5 favorite suits.  Keep 'em coming, Bandai.

Yep, he's definitely big enough to fight Godzilla lol I don't know if i'm sold yet on the title "Godzilla vs Kong". Just doesn't sound as good as King Kong vs Godzilla, but oh well. A title is just a title.

If only Trendmasters was still around...

"But Kong is too small to fight Godzilla." *cries*

EmptyH,
Your list is spot on.

I side with EmptyH here.

It's not bad and it's a fairly entertaining Western perspective. Besides, this is the version that got Godzilla some form of international fame. It must've done something right.

Admittedly I don't go back to it much. The 1954 version just gives me more to chew and I typically find something new to love about it on repeat viewings.

That is really great. He did an awesome job and I am a little jelly of that cool thing you now have.

Hey, I can actually answer this in audio form, as my podcast has already covered this episode.

But I also agree with you that it's not bad. I find it an interesting look from an American viewpoint. Unlike later American "remakes" this one actually adds a lot of new scenes and tries hard to make it believable.

TheGMan123

That sounds pretty good.

Kong looks like he could kick Godzilla's @$$. Wow... He clearly has an advantage over Godzilla.

I think Kong is a bit shorter than Godzilla, and is on the top of something or jumping. I'm definitely not complaining though, as I wanted Kong to be a bit shorter than Godzilla (I wanted him to be 312 feet tall to be exact), and he looks pretty similar to the size I imagined him to be as an adult.
