Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced
I know they're doing it for hype reasons but I hope they ditch the Budokai Tenkaichi branding for the final release. Pick a name, call it that in all regions... I think they have to for online purposes. It looks like they've already made their mind up since there's two versions of the trailer, one ...

Re: A new Budokai Tenkaichi has been announced
I've been curious how the roster would be handled in a modern context. There were already an absurd amount of Gokus and Gohans, now there's even more. There's definitely some fat they could trim to the third game's roster, such as some of the Dragon Ball characters and ones like Babidi, Yajirobe, et...

Re: I just watched the ending of GT (Japanese version) and it was one of the most depressing things I’ve ever seen
The best word for the overall feeling throughout GT in general is 'wistful' (defined as having or showing a feeling of vague or regretful longing), and I don't think you can really dissect that feeling any better than that. GT absolutely nails that and it just climaxes by the end. The 10th Anniversa...

Re: Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?
I was actually toying with this a bit myself before I knew anyone else was and I got some interesting results. I fed a line from the Buu arc from Piccolo and used Toshio Furukawa and I think it sounds pretty good . Aside from being an interesting novelty I'm not sure I see much real-world applicatio...

Re: Are you done with Dragon Ball?
I've come to accept I'm in it for the long haul. I'm almost 33 and have been a fan since I was 10. Virtually every other interest, opinion and sensibility in my life has evolved or completely changed, but somehow my interest in this franchise remains solid. I still feel excited with every new releas...

Re: Shunsuke Kikuchi has passed away
Agreed. Animated Dragon Ball lost part of its identity when it moved away from Kikuchi's sound and started sounding "modern" (RE: generic). GT wasn't as bad in that regard since Tokunaga's score was kinda emulating Kikuchi, but from Kai onward Dragon Ball music just sounds so bland and ge...

Re: "Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread
I would think a movie-related Gohan would be able to transform into Beast Gohan? What's the point if he doesnt? The answer to this question is the exact same answer to the question: "Why are Bojack/#13 first forms in the game but not their transformations?" The roster logic for this game ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu - The Worst Fighting Game by Matt McMuscles
I think I remember hearing about the Saiyan Smash game in an old Game Pro article that talked about a bunch of games that Atari plan for the franchise. I remember that too. It did pop up on a few random video game news websites as being a GameCube game. I had no idea that the Taiketsu sprites were ...

No way it's not GT Vegeta the way the voting looks online. Ahh, is this the part where they put in as little effort as possible and not even bother fixing his weird off-model face but just changing the hair? They could still do a Xenoverse 3, it's just I don't think it's going to happen anytime soo...

Re: Were people unfair to the Raging Blast games?
They felt like diet Sparking games. That about sums it up. The first Raging Blast specifically, it was one step forward, and about four steps back. There were some decent ideas in terms of gameplay and the upgraded character models were nice (for the most part… this is about when it was decided Veg...

Re: Budokai 4 in 2022
Well, hopefully there's something this year other than "The Breakers", because frankly that isn't going to cut the mustard. It feels like a super cheap spin-off game. What the hell else is Dimps doing other than periodically releasing a character and some Parallel Quests anyway!? I can't i...

Re: Am I the only one who feels like I missed out on Dragon Ball?
I became a fan in late 1999/2000, and I feel like I missed out. Hell, even if you live in America and jumped on board in 1995 around when the series came here, you'd be coming in right as Z was ending in Japan. I know how you feel though, I feel that way about a great deal of things I enjoy--not to ...

I feel like the fanbase just gets more picky and grumpy over the years.

Re: Has Toriyama retconned the “Ultimate Gohan”?
His "Ultimate" form seems to be treated and used much in the same way the god forms are--as stages to build up to if SSJ/SSJ2 aren't sufficient. In the Super Hero trailer, we see him transform into SSJ, but clearly his Ultimate stage is used at some point. Originally I assumed he got weake...

Re: Should the psuedo 3d art style be used for the franchise in general going forward?
It honestly doesn't matter to me as long as it isn't the souless, glossy Yamamuro style we were stuck with for so long. What's striking to me is how every single frame of the trailers we've seen so far looks good, like a manga panel drawn by Toriyama. I'm not super thrilled by how it looks in motion...

Judging from the trailer it appears that Piccolo will permanently die in this movie Did we even watch the same trailer? I can't even fathom where you'd get the idea that Piccolo permanently dies . Jumping to conclusions about Gohan's involvement in the film at this stage is probably setting oneself...

Dimps: We won't call Time Breakers "Time Breakers". / Also Dimps: How about we name this game, like... "The Breakers!?". This has to be the worst subtitle for a Dragon Ball game yet (maybe tied with "for Kinect" or [s]Tenkaichi[/s] "Budokai Tenkaichi"?) "...

Re: What would you do to make the games more interesting?
It definitely seems like a largely original story is the answer, at least for single player games. At this point, it's difficult to imagine a format in which the "Raditz to Buu" formula has any tank left in the gas. Maybe that's my issue with Kakarot, at least for those of us who are old e...
