Hey guys - what if somebody, somewhere, was talking about the next big monster fighting game? And we needed YOUR help?

Here's the thing - with Kickstarter blowing up everywhere, and crowd-sourcing becoming viable, we could get Kaiju fans everywhere to pool their money, and get a game made.  Not just any game, though!  A game that exactly conforms to what WE, the fans who would pay for it, would want in a Kaiju battle game.

This isn't just idle speculation - Chris Mirjahangir, filmmaker from LA, got in touch with Simon Strange, the mastermind behind the last three Godzilla fighting games. After bringing me in, we all jumped onto Skype, and started banging around about what it would take to create a new, high-profile kaiju battle game.  Turns out, "what it would take" is very dependent upon what we, the fans, would be willing to pay for.

So, in all seriousness, and FOR REALS I put out this question: What would you like to see in a new Kaiju battle game, and how much would you be willing to contribute to make it happen?  There are several options, and I've put together a poll for each one.  Let's keep discussion in this thread, please.

Question 1: Which set of monsters?

Option #1 - A full-scale licensed Godzilla game.
Option #2 - Just like #1,  but with Gamera, instead of Godzilla.
Option #3 - Just like #1, but with All-original Kaiju.  (No licensing of monsters = $ saved!)


Question 2: What technology?

Option #1 - Online fighting with fully 3D monsters.
Option #2 - Asynchronous fighting (we each take turns, but not necessarily in real-time unless we're both online) with 3D monsters.
Option #3 - Just like #2, but with sweet 2D art.
Option #4 - 2D card-based brawler.


Question 3: What platform?

Option #1 - Consoles.
Option #2 - PC / Mac / Linux.
Option #3 - Something browser-based.
Option #4 - Mobile phones (iOS and Android)


Get to voting!  Remember, it's not about what you *want* so much as *how much would you pay* to help make this happen?  The best part is that everyone who contributes would get to be at least partially involved in shaping the final game.

This is for real!

Actually, I had an idea long ago for the consoles to have the monster look realistic and terrifying, and the handhelds to have them in cartoon forms like Godzilla: Domination. Just my idea...
