"Dragon Ball Z For Kinect" Official On-Going Thread

[dbboxkaifan]

There's still 2 DBZ games TBA?

2. Dragon Ball Z - Regular (?)
3. Dragon Ball Z - Portable (?)

DBZFK looks really good and to turn SSJ it'll do just perfectly, I suppose.

[Jaruka]

To whoever fears the animation will be Episode of Bardock: that was less than 20 minutes long. It's said we're getting 30.

Yeah, and previous reports give the same runtime as Episode of Bardock, ~19 minutes: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/ADM287596/

Not the latest report:

ainsi que 30 minutes de séquences animées inédites.

Which translates into: "as well as 30 minutes of unique anime sequences."

The bbfc one is correct and the time exactly, that's an official board for rating film in the UK, not a game website. The run-time given is exact to EOB so we can assume it is and that Chilled is the brand new character.

The portable is the 3DS one. Wasn't that confirmed?

[Jaruka]

Personally I'm praying DBZ: Kinect is being released on-the-cheap to hold up the 'one game a year' contract whilst Namco hires someone else to work on the 'yearly' game which will be released á la the last Naruto game. Announced soon but not released until March 2013, that way it gets a longer development cycle.

If we are getting over 50 characters then I think the list should be like this:
13. Mirai Trunks Post ROAST (Base, SSj, ASSj)

Lol.

Good list although I highly doubt it'll ever be again like that or BT3.

[Hellspawn28]

I still wish they would make Super 17 a transformation like they did with Kibitoshin in the past games instead of making him his own character. I wonder if the Bardock episode will be dubbed or not? I doubt it, but at least they will likely give us good sub titles though.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

If we are getting over 50 characters then I think the list should be like this:

I'm not sure the list will really be like that...

When previous press releases and trailers advertised X number of characters in the game, that counted the characters and their transformations as individual slots. Raging Blast 2 advertised "around 100 characters" and we ended up with 66 base characters and 100 with transformations. Ultimate Blast offered us 59 characters with transformations...DB Kinect is advertising "over 50 characters and an entirely new character". I still think the game won't have over 55 character given past examples, but we could end up with Ultimate Blast's roster plus Chilled and SS Bardock, or we may lose characters to fit them in.

[MCDaveG]

I just thought about this. As I have also BT3 on Wii, here you can make the supers by doing the posses with nunchakus or choose to make them like button combo + you can plug in Game Cube controller and play it simply as fighter.
What if this game can be played by Kinect, but also as Raging Blast 2 option?
This will make it exclusive on Kinect with port to PS3 without the Kinect option like BT3 PS2 version is to Wii version.
So here we are with our 2012 DBZ megahit.

[BobZ]

Well, practically, they could do something similar with PS Move, but since this is marketed as DBZ for Kinect, that's highly unlikely.

[MCDaveG]

There must be more about this. I think there will be non-motion version for PS3 which may be option for XBOX users with or without Kinect, becuase if it will be Kinect exclusive then Japanese market is completely out of the question and also I don't know about much people besides me with Kinect.
Really, they are milking money for cheap each year but this seems to me like suicide aside that I'm happy about having Kinect fighter where I can really fight (or I hope I will, because no-one probably saw anything in action yet).

[Hellspawn28]

Fans seem to like a complete roster of characters and were upset that neither RB games had GT characters. I'm pretty sure that Super Yi Xing Long and SSj4 Gogeta will be back.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

Well, practically, they could do something similar with PS Move, but since this is marketed as DBZ for Kinect, that's highly unlikely.

Spike: "Just replace Kinect with Move using a red marker or something. We'll save money and keep them in the 360 boxes...people will still buy it! Right?"

[SSJmole]

I want to buy a 360 just for this and Star wars Kinect

[mysticboy]

That cover art is... disgusting

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I like the cover art. It's better than the character collages we normally get...

[Kingdom Heartless]

The achievement list is out for those interested.... it may give an idea of what to expect from the game.

[Eddie]

It appears GT fans will be disappointed. The list does make me wonder if Oozaru Vegeta will be playable, though. He seems to be in as a boss.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

The achievement list is out for those interested.... it may give an idea of what to expect from the game.

It reveals almost all the same characters from Ultimate Blast, and I guess those who aren't there are simply not featured or were cut. I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't reveal who the secret character is...unless "Kid Buu 2" is supposed to be different than the regular version. I don't plan on buying the game, so I'd rather just know now. xD

[Akumaito Beam]

Kid Boo 2: Electric BOOgaloo

Yeah, I'm not sure who this is aimed at but it sure isn't me! I guess I'm kind of interested to see what story mode looks like.
