DragonBall: Raging Blast (PS3/360)

[JulieYBM]

Where was the psudo-cursing at?

But either way, [if it was Raditz] he is an alien from a different galaxy...it should be a huge shock that he would even know what an Earth language is.

I think he's talking about Goku's "Darn You!" when he fires that Angry Kamehameha.

Yeah, that's it. And boy, does it get annoying. It's rated TEEN for the love of God.

I finish playing the demo, the game pissed me off at first since the controls took forever to take used since I'm used to the controls to BT3. The game is fun to play since the backgrounds are big and nice to look at, and the character models look great too. The Camera in the game is really annoying and I hope it's better in the final version then it was in the demo.

Maaaaaan, it's one of those "Gold Subscriber Exclusive" things...

I was looking forward to downloading this tonight.

Ah, well, glad to hear people are enjoying it. I'm actually kinda looking forward to this, now. The past few trailers have looked pretty okay.

Just got an e-mail from Amazon saying that my order of Dragonball Raging Blast - Limited Edition wont be released until the 13th of November. The new delivery estimate is the 16th of November.

[LeprikanGT]

That right there is why I buy from a store.

I haven't seen the limited edition listed in any store.

After playing the demo, the game is just a prettied-up Sparking with some new gameplay elements (active time button pressing when doing certain Super Attacks like Meteor Smash) and different controls. The only things I haven't figured out are how to do Vanishing Counters during Rush Attacks or how to do a Step In after doing a basic Rush Attack. The new "Crash" command is pretty neat, but nothing special. I also noticed some camera collisions and hope they fix that in the final version.

While the graphics looked impressive in the trailers and story modes we've been shown, I'm not really that impressed with the in game ones. Same block-like expressions. The effects are downgraded from Tenkaichi 3/Meteor as well.

I'm sorry, but I can't see Goku swearing like that...it seems "out of place" to me. Even if he's extremely angry, it just doesn't seem like he'd resort to it.

Doesn't bother me one bit, though.

Bah, Steve Simmons disagrees!!

Pretty sure the subs have Gokû throwing around a few 'bastards'. I'd have laughed if 'Darn you' was replaced by "You bastard!!"


EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTiEB35oN4U

In that video, with the two different Gokû fighting each other, it seems gi-symbol Gokû's hair is white ala the Freeza arc hair, while the Artificial Human and onward gi Gokû has more gold...

Use the right thumb stick (360). Depending on direct, the attack will change.

Down on the d-pad will charge ki.

Right thumb stick opens up the transformation menu. X activates Super Saiyan.

Also, note that some attacks require that you be next to the enemy (remember Broli's special attack from Meteor? Like that), such as SSJ Goku's attack (forget what it's called). From there you'll have to activate a quick time event mid-attack to ensure that you keep attacking them, and not just stop half way through.

Thanks so much! Just did the Kamehameha and Solar Flare! Didn't manage to activate Super Saiyan Goku though. What do you mean Right thumb stick opens up the transformation menu? I'm pushing the d-pad down and it charges, I push the right thumb stick and it does a special attack, I did it a minute ago and I did the Kaioken.

Doh! That should be right trigger. My bad.

[Amigo Ten]

They had the different Super Saiyan hair in BT3 too, and possibly BT2, I can't remember.

No worries, I figured it out earlier!

I knew the shape was different, but I didn't suspect the coloring too!

I'm sure it was like that before. Different design to match how it looked in the anime and a lighter colour.

Also, ARG! I'm sat here waiting for the damn US PSN to update. Partly because I'm curious if they got the demo (although I'm doubting it at the moment), but mainly because I want the Ratchet and Clank demos too. I'm so damn tired though I think I'll just have to start the downloads and set the PS3 to turn off when they're finished while I go to sleep for the night.

[Amigo Ten]

The US PSN has updated. THE DEMO IS THERE! GET IT NOW!

EDIT: Huh, it's a larger file size than the 360 one. Wonder if there'll be any difference.

[Amigo Ten]

Oh man... What the HFIL have they done to the controls?!

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

Downloading now!

Quit Arkham Asylum to download this(it's cool though I already beat the game)

[Amigo Ten]

Well, having played a few rounds, my initial reaction is:

The controls are incredibly awkward, the camera is terrible, the combat feels clunky (most likely due to the controls).

[Chrono Trigger]

This. I don't know why they made it so different. It's still pretty neat though.

[Ununbium]

The camera is terrible.

Agreed.
I had the Wii version of BT3/Sparkling! Meteor so the controls are new to me.
I hate the way Raditz looks in this game.
