Dragon ball horror.

Post by dbs fanboy » Fri Nov 04, 2016 6:07 pm

Now that i've been thinking about it, do you think that a horror related game could work for dragon ball?
I mean, this franchise has certain elements that could be included in a horror movie like Cell drinking people or even Black destroying entire civilizations.
I don't know, just a random thought, what do you think?

Hmm...I see what you're saying, but I don't think the tone of the series is right for that at all. Plus, who would buy it? If I'm looking for a Dragon Ball game, I'm probably looking for a very different kind of experience than, say, Fatal Frame or Silent Hill.

It's an interesting idea, but I can't see it working out too well.

It doesn't have to be necessarily official, it could be like those spinoffs made by fans of Five night at Freddy's.
I don't know, i've alwasy thought that it would be interesting to have a game similar to alien isolation, but with the difference that in this version you would be running away from Cell, who could be there searching for people to "drink".

If you play as a civilian trying evade the 1st Form of Cell, then yeah it can. The anime made that terrifying.

Pretty much this. I mean, the main characters in db are so powerful that we don't get that sense of horror, but looking everything from the perspective of a powerless human, and everything is terryfing.
Hell, Buu killed some random guy by making him explode from the inside.

A first form Cell horror game could be really good with a talented staff behind it. (It'd be fun to watch a TFS "Krillin Plays" of that.)
