"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[DarkPrince_92]

Looks pretty good so far, no more models with the big ass noses. Hopefully GAMEPLAY will be good.

[Zeymah]

Come on, we want a trailer with gameplay!

I feel like we may get that when(if) that website updates Friday with this game.

That's exactly what I think as well. A 40 seconds trailer (out of which 15 seconds will be wasted on showing Namco Bandai's and developer's banners) with More at Japan Expo 2013 at the end.

I know this may not mean anything, but the scans seem to suggest a new story or at the very least a what-if.

What part of the scans make you think that there will be what-if stories?

Piccolo helping out with Oozaru Vegeta, Goku facing off against Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and a saibaman all at once, and Krillin actually fighting Raditz. Again, as I said, may not mean anything, but I thought I should point it out.

PS3 and 360? Seriously!?! Should be for PS4 and Xbox One, Namco loves to doom themselves every time... argh!!!

[VegettoEX]

They're dooming themselves by developing for systems that have an install base in the multiple of millions instead of for systems that have not yet launched?

Does no-one remember how there were still DBZ games on the Famicom after the Super Famicom launched? For the Game Boy Color after the GBA launched? For the GBA after the DS launched? For the PS2 after the PS3 launched?

DBZ games are not system-sellers, and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by developing for new consoles too early in their life cycles. History, folks. Learn it.

Right, it could as well be just a regular VS mode.

What do you think is better for Namco, releasing a niche-fighting game for well established current-gen consoles or making it for platforms that no one even owns yet?

[DNA]

Especially with the policies Xbone and PS4 are installing...

[LeprikanGT]

This is already a buy for me, it will be nice having more than 2 people on screen at once AND we already see some "what if" type scenarios with Goku facing Vegeta, Nappa, Saibamen, and Raditz at the same time.

I dont understand what was wrong with the models of U. Tenkaichi / Raging Blast? In my opinio they are good..But these new ones are good too.

[DarkPrince_92]

The Raging Blast models were just more rounded out versions of the Tenkaichi models, and the Tenkaichi models are notorious for big ass noses and square as hands. Hands in RB/UT got better however but the noses still seemed longish. And hopefully cutscenes, are actual cutscenes and not bland animations running on the game engine. So sick of that, the 180 slide on ground turn arounds, the I'm chewing gum mouth flaps, and mouths randomly hanging open.... so bad. UT's boss battle cutscenes were the only ones I liked.

[enjyu123]

It seems like they are using Treevax's idea.cel shading gives off the aroma. . Now i'm excited!

[Big Momma]

I was looking at the scans again and I noticed something...



Is this Super Saiyan God?

[Silkman3003]

yes.

[Chuquita]

Nice to see ssjg Goku, and happy it's for a system I already own. Still hoping for a new plotline, will wait and see.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I guess Oozaru Vegeta won't be playable, since it's been stated that we will have an up to 4-player co-operating fight, so I guess that 4 players will have to co-operate to defeat a giant villain.

It also seems like they heard Treevax for the graphics & the boss fights.

And as for the rooster, we have so far:

• Goku (base, Super Saiyan God)
  Vegeta: Scouter (base, Oozaru)
  Gohan: Kid
  Piccolo
  Kuririn
  Tenshinhan
  Raditz
  Nappa
  Saibaman
  Ginyu
  Reacoom
  Jheese
  Butta
  Gurd

Weekly Shonen Jump HQ scan.

[Jaetinh]

I hope Chaozu is in this game.

By the title name, it seems like there probably will be no GT and early DB. Battle of Z

edit:
That HD scan:
Neither Yamcha nor Chaozu are fighting any saiyajins/saibamen, hm.
