The ShinGoji design, all CG, looked far more convincing than suitmation ever has, especiall with the full-CGI cityscapes, skies, and weaponry around him. I understand that it's a huge tradition, but tradition for tradition's sake is a mistake if it gets in the way of the kind of progress Shin Godzilla made I agree with Toonking here, while it is unforunatley unlikely. Suitimation is how this franchise started, and it sucks to see Toho abandon it. Not to mention, CG has been far too abundant in movies in gneral in recent years. I also feel that the rise of CGI in Tokusastu has bred a new kind of G-fan that I find quite annoying. I call them the "CGI-elitists" or the "CG master race" if you prefer. While the merits of suitmation, as well as its contribution to the genre cannot be understated, movies like Pacific Rim or Shin Godzilla (two very different movies, each impressive in their own ways) could not have been the quality products (again, in very different ways) they are without copious amounts of CGI. There are limitations to the abilities of suitmation. With CG, the only real constraints are time, budget, and imagination
