Platinum is extreme hit or extreme miss based on who is director/lead game designer. Kamiya has a perfect track record as a director.

You'll likely get some swords/laser weapons of some sort if it follows that which it looks to be taking inspiration from

Neither are out of the picture.
The humans (including the hero himself in human form) in Ultra always carry scifi guns too.
There's even a samurai kaiju.
This does make things better, but only slightly. There are also other issues, like the combat's pacing. Hope it's fast enough, because huge guys battling huge monsters doesn't strike me as the fastest paced kind of fight in the world.
I'll just wait and see, there are two more announcements to go anyway so I can wait for more details on this G.G. game while waiting for the other 2 announcements.
I mean, I know it's not DBZ or DMC levels of trading blows, but the third gif is not exactly lumbering, Godzilla levels of slow.
On the other hand, I wonder if one of the things that will determine your "rank" will be how much of the city you allow to get destroyed. Risk v. reward may ensue as you may want to kick a giant skyscraper into a kaiju's face to put them into stun, or rip off a monorail train to make for impromptu nunchaku.
...but you can only do that so many times before there's not much city left worth protecting!
Yes this is exactly were I went, give us that Ultraman goodness Kamiya.
DMC levels is more or less what I'm looking for, actually. Maybe they can speed things up a bit from the usual? I can see it's not Power Rangers Megazord levels of fights (which is what I had in mind previously), but I still find it a bit too slow for my tastes. Maybe Platinum can bring a bit of their flair to this kind of thing?
It's the main example that comes to mind when I think of giant robot action that doesn't look like they're wading through water because of their size. The robots in that one are also designed to be more like giant people in lightweight armor rather than massive tanks so I'd expect something similar here.
The point is, it all comes down to how they choose to go about it in a full game. I think they know that having every battle be slow and laborious wouldn't be fun and would design it accordingly.
Well, I hope Platinum decides to forgo authenticity for this one and makes combat Bayonetta levels of fast paced then, I guess
I am sure they will. The point of doing it slow on the shows is partially to help sell the fake scale (since the miniature sets are small) and because of how limiting the monster suits are to move around (which is why fights against other Ultras/humanoid kaiju are much faster) - plus no live action show will have DMC speed anyway haha. The game will have none of those issues and might have super speed powers (either in the Viewtful Joe sense or in the Ultraman sense, since some have speed forms).
By comparison, the SNK kaiju fighting/wrestling games weren't slower than their Samurai Shodown games, for instance.
The Evas are also literally reskinned Ultras, both in their design and way of movement, so it's a great example :D
Uhhh...what is this from? Is it a CGI movie?That font is terrible but I'm excited. Haven't seen a giant protagonist vs kaiju type of game.
I'm so glad this April Fools joke actually went somewhere

Right, they just started development... Then Switch 2 Pro lite then... : (
I always wanted a game with crazy gameplay that combines normal hand to hand ground combat and having a summonable giant robot mecha.
Like fighting goons and then when shit gets real you summon your giant robot to destroy those who stand in your way. Not in a scripted way.

Think of it like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and World's End being a trilogy. Entirely unrelated but considered a trilogy
Let's hope we get some gameplay relatively soon then, I've been dying for some character action since I finished DMC5 in April/May
Kamiya directed superhero games. Viewtiful Joe was the first (inspired by Kamen Rider), The Wonderful 101 followed (Super Sentai) and this is the last game (based on Ultraman).
Just noticed:
Viewtiful Joe - 2003
Wonderful 101 - 2013
Project G.G. - 2023?
There are three main VJ games out there ! :P
With that said, Kamiya only worked on the first one (like DMC) so yeah, VJ/TW101/GG is the trilogy.
if there was ever a 4th entry the next logical step would be Voltron
He wrote the story for VJ2 but yeah the trilogy is for games he directed
Yeah, he did that for Bayo 2 as well.
This is likely three or four years away so that won't happen ! :D
