Eh, I don't think this new mobile game will determine the future of Godzilla games so much as how the whole gaming industry just seems to be heading into the tablet/mobile market. It's not a Godzilla thing....it's a gaming thing.
PC/Console gaming, while still prevalent, is increasingly taking a backseat to Fruit Ninja, Bejeweled and stuff like that.
Mobile games generally a cheaper and easier to produce. The games have a much higher profit percentage per unit sold. So the industry has no reason not to cater to that demographic if that's what is selling.
Junkerde has a right to be upset about it. He could maybe word it more nicely, but yeah, it makes me sad. I'm getting sick and tired of watered down games, and lackluster investment into gaming PC's and Consoles. The games that I (and I'm assuming Junkerde) like to play just aren't getting made any more. Or if they are getting made, corners and content are getting cut at the same price points, all to compete with the profit levels of 'Clash of Clans' and crap like that.
ASUS' RoG Department has been increasingly downsized, in favor of bringing the latest 'Phablet' to Electronics Expos.
NVIDIA and AMD are charging way more for their high end graphics cards than they used to, recognizing it's becoming more of a niche market than it already was, and so selling fewer units means they need to sell at a higher price in order to make the same amount of money.
The 'Next Gen' of gaming took only a couple baby steps forward compared to the advancements their predecessors made over the previous generation. Primarily, because there wouldn't have been a profit in pushing the envelope when 'keep it simple stupid' stuff like Angry Birds is Candy Crushing the market.
RTS' like Total War and Starcraft are dumbing themselves down or dying off in favor of increasingly simplistic MOBA's or trying to accomodate mobile device controls (which means complex game controls...and as such complex games...are out of the question)
Mobile Gaming represents the Justin Bieber of the gaming world. Massively popular, cheap, but not necessarily good. It is saddening to see gaming head down that direction, and apparently it's dragging Godzilla games along with it.
Maybe a new Godzilla Console game will be released. But I'm increasingly fearful that when/if it does, it won't be as good as the Godzilla games that came before. Instead it will be a rushed, overpriced, glitchy mess that embodies the state of franchise gaming today (see the latest Star Trek console games as an example)
