Because going by the screenshots, said effort has already gone into developing the Shin Budokai games.
I meant in general, not this game specifically.
I've seen plenty of games with low quality graphics for their era that have been great, and plenty of great looking games that sucked. Graphics have nothing to do with anything so long as they're good enough you can see what's going on.

That's what I've been saying all along. Shin Budokai's gameplay with Evolution's characters.
I'm surprised no one got that when I was saying it.

If thats the cover, I actually really like how Piccolo looks. Shame he don't look like that in the movie.

What is this, a Shin Budokai/Shenmue crossover?

I dunno, that just screams "fan-made" to me, especially Goku and the rather shoddy placement of the Dragon Balls. :?

You didn't like my watermark? :( XD
Anyway, interesting. It also gave me the fan-made feel. Also appears to be a slightly bigger version than the one I posted.

Am I the only who noticed that the game is rated "B"? Haven't all prior DB games in Japan been "A"?

I don't have a PSP (hopefully I'll pick one up eventually) but this game looks like it'll be okay.

I mean, hell, we've been buying the same game with different characters for like 9 years, right? What's stopping us from getting this one?

It being DBE-based, I'd presume. Actual gameplay quality aside, we can't go supporting something starring "Chatlose" and company, can we? :lol:

However, I do hope there's a little more to the game than just a reskin of Shin Budokai. Even games that are almost 'the same thing' have had new features with each new step in the series. Hopefully DBE: The Game will bring something new to the table.

Here are new screenshots of the game, revealing a bit of dialogue (translation anyone? :P ), the Mafuba, and other playable characters and new attacks.. such as Yamcha using his jeep... XD

Wow, awesome!

Looks like the Mafuba is Roshi's ultimate... and check out how cool and accurate it looks! I'm guessing Yamcha is imitating Captain Falcon Final Smash, and made his ultimate be 'I'M'A RUN YOU OVER SUCKA."

Grandpa Gohan is now confirmed as one out of a presumed total of, judging by the number of slots on the character select screen... Eleven characters total. Characters not shown on said screen but already confirmed are Piccolo, Mai, and Chi-Chi. So that means there's still three more characters we've yet to see. Let the guessing begin, I suppose?

The screen with the odd-looking character pictures is possibly... alternate costumes? Perhaps conceptual ones, just like Alex Ross' designs for Spidey and Goblin were unlockable in the first Spider-Man movie game. I'm guessing the 'Z' might stand for 'Zeni,' needed to unlock them.
EDIT: On second thought, it's probably just concept art. Got a little ahead of myself there.

(Is.... is Piccolo wearing a baseball cap?!)

Like I said in the chat, my guesses for the first two characters are Oozaru Goku and a Fulum, but who knows who the third character is. I want it to be Evolution style Kid Goku, but it'll probably end up being a version of regular Goku that used the Nyoibo, like Trunks (Sword) in Sparking.

11 character slots eh? Mind if I take a crack at it?

Goku
Piccolo
Chi Chi
Mai
Gohan
Yamcha
Roshi
Goku (Great Ape)
Carey Fuller
Piccolo demon spawn (may have a name, may not we saw them in early screens for the movie.)
???

Edit: Ah Taku may be right. Number 11 is probably Goku (powerpole)
