Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
With the Announcement of the Sequel to Tenkaichi 3 coming nearly 15 years after its debut in 2007, Do you guys think it’s possible for the Budokai series to get a reboot?

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
Maybe, but I don't see one happening anytime soon seeing that we get a new game once every two years now. Many people are still hoping for DBF2 and XV3 to happen.

Well, prior to March 2023 nobody thought a sequel to Tenkaichi 3 was realistic....Sparking Zero honestly means that anything is possible at this point.Hellspawn28 wrote: Tue Feb 06, 2024 7:52 pm Maybe, but I don't see one happening anytime soon seeing that we get a new game once every two years now.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
Maybe, but I hope not. I'd rather have something new, or a sequel to FighterZ which in my opinion is a much better fighting game.budokaifanatic007 wrote: Sun Feb 04, 2024 12:29 pm With the Announcement of the Sequel to Tenkaichi 3 coming nearly 15 years after its debut in 2007, Do you guys think it’s possible for the Budokai series to get a reboot?
Nobody thought that? Honestly, don't say nobody thought that when there clearly were people who thought it was possible. Why would mods or projects like treevax exist if nobody thought it was possible? Not to mention he has had many, many followers.budokaifanatic007 wrote: Thu Feb 08, 2024 2:51 amWell, prior to March 2023 nobody thought a sequel to Tenkaichi 3 was realistic....Sparking Zero honestly means that anything is possible at this point.Hellspawn28 wrote: Tue Feb 06, 2024 7:52 pm Maybe, but I don't see one happening anytime soon seeing that we get a new game once every two years now.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
I'm hoping for a FighterZ 2 aswell, but I'd be ecstatic if they announced a new Budokai game, and there's no reason we can't get both. If you don't want it fair enough, but many of us have longed for it for years.sangofe wrote: Thu Feb 08, 2024 6:37 am Maybe, but I hope not.

FighterZ is better as a serious competitive fighter, but Budokai hits that sweet spot were it appeals to casuals and still has some depth. And Budokai has always been a great single player experience, while FighterZ is actually lacking in that regard.
Sparking Zero is guaranteed to do well, so hopefully a new Budokai could show up further down the line.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
If a reboot happens we'll unfortunately miss the soundtrack.
That being said, you'd think they would have an advantage with a lot of models from SDBH that could be used as a base.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
Personally, i would love anything other than another fighting game. JRPG, something like those two Game Boy games

that is not to say it wouldn't be nice to have xenoverse 3 and fighter2
but wouldn't another budokai game be just a rehash of fighter2 point haha

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
Not really. While yeah..technically they're both traditional fighters...Fighterz is more technical and specifically made to be played at events like Evo. That's not really what the Budokai series is. But yeah I actually think it'd be cool if they did a full on remake of the Budokai 3 game.Shintoki wrote: Tue May 07, 2024 1:39 pmtissangofe wrote: Fri Feb 09, 2024 1:47 amAgain, gimme something new.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
You cant do that nowadays with shonen anime games they are trapped in a specific box that will sell gamewise aka a good arena fighter or. 2d fighter thats it. Notice how Kakarot is still the lowest selling of all the new games anime gamers who make the bulk of the game sales have spoken with their dollars that they dont want those other type of anime games hence why that demon slayer board game flopped, sandland flopped,etc the list goes on.coola wrote: Sun May 05, 2024 4:19 pm Personally, i would love anything other than another fighting game.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
We've been getting what are essentially Sparking games all along for decades. While not 100% the same, Raging Blast, Battle of Z, Xenoverse, and Kakarot play very similar Sparking. By using the Sparking name, they get some nostalgia hype on their next Dragonball game.
When it comes to Budokai, what are you expecting gameplay wise that hasn't been eclipsed by Super DBZ, Hyper DBZ, and FighterZ? There's a reason they stopped making that style of anime fighter with Burst Limit. Sparking arena style became the defacto style for fans looking to emulate their favorite fighting shonen. What we really wanted was a traditional Street Fighter/King of Fighter style fighter. The best we were getting was Budokai, and they made the best of that. But now we have better. Another Budokai would be regressing.
Also, I don't get the complaint about to many fighting games for shows focused on fighting. And aren't all the mobile and handheld games for the most part not straight up fighters?

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
Since you mentioned Street Fighter, it reminded me that Dimps (the Budokai/Xenoverse devs) did work on Street Fighter IV and V. If Dimps were to go back to more traditional fighting game format, I would hope they use their experience on the Street Fighter series to make a more robust combat style. I like Budokai, but its combos were really simple and samey looking between characters, so they'd definitely have to use that SF experience if they want to make a Budokai reboot stand out from the crowd.Anonymous Friend wrote: Sun Aug 04, 2024 11:15 am When it comes to Budokai, what are you expecting gameplay wise that hasn't been eclipsed by Super DBZ, Hyper DBZ, and FighterZ?

I would also love Arika to return and make Super DBZ 2 (or Super DBS?), but they're too busy working on Tekken 8.

Re: Is a Budokai Reboot possible ?
