Not even an hour after the GTA 6 launch trailer dropped, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Remaster confirmed that it was shadowdropping a free demo. Considering Godzilla is one of the only games going up against Rockstar's juggernaut next month, it's hard to believe it's just a coincidence.
The demo itself is small, with just a 4 GB download on Steam (which is currently the only place to play the demo). In the 15 minutes I spent messing around in the battle arenas, I enjoyed a quick online spar against a King Ghidorah player, which ran very smoothly. It's a straightforward slice of the game, and enough to show that the footing is solid.
Speaking to a representative from Atari at Portland Gaming Retro Expo where Godzilla was recently playable, they explained how proud they were to have the Eugene, Oregon-based Pipeworks, handling the remaster. And that they felt incredibly lucky to have caught the attention of all the necessary license holders to let the studio that created the original build on their foundation, and that familiarity shows how player-friendly this remastered iteration is once you go head-to-head.
There is nothing better than vocaloid and kaiju living...
