Godzilla Resurgence: Oh, He’s Just Mad About His Skinny Dino-Arms

Gojira sez: “Aw, COME ON NOW! Why’d you guys gimme these scrawny back-scratchers? WHYYYYYYYY!”

 

Hmmm, either someone’s been watching Cloverfield and taking notes… or it’s a Godzilla flick from Japan that might actually be worth taking a plane trip to see. It seems that Toho Studios wasn’t all that fond of that Americanized Godzilla reboot from 2014. That or they’re clearly shown that they can do the legendary character more justice by taking him back to his roots, making him about ten times more hideous (and man, does that work out well, scrawny back-scratchers aside) and setting him loose in Japanese cinemas on July 29, 2016. While there’s no word of an English localization, I’m betting the fact that there just so happen to be TWO versions of the poster might mean something. Maybe? Hopefully?

Meanwhile, back at the trailer park:

This longer look at the film shows the meaner, uglier, Hideous Sun Demon-like Godzilla strutting his stuff in full CG and what looks like actual rubber suit form and looking mighty tough. Put this on your radar and hope that Toho is getting some decent voice actors as this isn’t a comedy coming your way for sure.

Ph, and you really wanna know why he’s SO damn mad? He can’t even scratch his back with those short arms. That and just LOOK at that skin of his?  Those claws of his have ripped it up pretty badly already.  I’d be pissed off too, Graaaaar!

Aurion logoOkay, who knew Cameroon (yes, that Cameroon) had an indie game development studio working on a colorful Action/RPG partly inspired by Japan’s Tales of franchise and a few side-scrolling brawlers some of you may have spent a lot of money in back in the arcade era?

Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan – The Awakening is out NOW and can be purchased directly from the developer or on Steam (both at a 15% discount).

If that colorful trailer above and those equally colorful screenshots below the jump are any indication, Kiro’o Games has a winner on their hands worth playing.
