To me, it sounded like this guy wasn't a fan of the series, he just did some research before he went on, which is why he sounded so eager to talk about the parts that he actually knew.

Exactly, and why did he say there weren't any "signifigant new features"?

I'm pretty sure the aura burst or whatever they're calling it is a pretty signifigant new feature. I know that personally I'm not going to use it much, but it is still a noticeable new feature.

Seems that that majority of DBZ fans tend to enjoy the FUNi dub of DBZ. So, I'm guessing that the fact that the game has those voices was stressed as opposed to the idea that the game may not have a Japanese voice option.

Even if that is the case, though, I don't really hate the voices themselves. I just don't like the script changes in the dub and that's part of why I prefer the Japanese version. So, if the game doesn't have Japanese voices (like Super DBZ) I will probably still get the game, but I would definitely prefer to hear the Japanese voices instead of the FUNi voices.

If I had my choice, though, I'd most likely want the Ocean voices or the Team Four Star voices.

Yes. He clearly doesn't know much about the game, yet he pretended to.
Did they say just as much crap about the Naruto games?

That actually irked me a lot.

Is there any point in even owning previous Budokai games at this point? In fact, I hope to god they do not make a sequel of Infinite World.

Also, FUCK YEAH MAJIN BOO CHOCOLATE.

Not anymore.. if there was no Infinite World it'd be:
Budokai for its great cutscenes
Budokai 2 for its cool story mode
Budokai 3 for its amazing battle system
..But it seems Infinite World has got a 3 for 1 deal.
Not that its a bad thing. :P

I just hope that Infinite World will have AT LEAST SOME stages from B2 and not just from B3. B2 had kickass stages like the Snowy Mountains and that Sky Pier.

But its more probable the selection of stages to be based on Shin Budokai.
It had snowy mountains (with muscle tower on background, really cool) and had kami place (like, outside the chamber of time and space). This one was only sky battle, it works fine while kami place stays "flying around"

Good point, I forgot about that B2 mountain stage, how I miss it :cry:

Not sure if this is old news, but the new release date for Trilogy (in Canada, anyway) is November 4th.

No. There's no reason for anyone to buy a bunch of shit that they've already got. Atari's just trying to whore for more money on old products.

I finally ended up watching the "On the Spot" video, and it pissed me off.

If you're working for a professional company like Gamespot or Atari, why would you make yourself look so unknowledgable like this?

Hell, it's more like he was trying to persuade people to not buy the game. 13-year old dub fans could make a much better video of this game.

That being said, I will pick up the game this Wed, since it's pretty cheap and has some nice new features (fuller DBZ-GT story mode, return of the Budokai 1 style cutscenes, new Kageyama song, Japanese VAs)
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Having Tenkaichi 1 and 2 in the same pack is a big 'whuh?' to me....if it was Super DBZ, Sagas and Tenkaichi 2, I'd probably pick it up just to add to my videogame collection, But I already own T1, and T3 made T2 obsolete, and without those I could just go buy SDBZ for like four dollars.
