Listen, I know Treyarch is making the game, I know West and Zampella are gone, and I know it has no chance of being as good as MW2 but it's still going to blow RB2 out of the water. Bandai, if you were smart you'd wait till after the CoD hype and release Raging Blast 2 in December.
I don't think they can release it at a good time, a lot of good games coming out this year. MW2 isn't that good, I think Black Ops will be a better game. There was so much hype behind MW2, Raging Blast didn't stand a chance. :lol:
One word: Treyarch. Don't get too excited.


Also, I just remembered...Grand Turismo 5 comes out Nov. 2nd. Raging Blast 2 is soooooooo screwed.
I'm not into racing games, so I'm good.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Amongst car fanatics, the GT series is viewed as the best and most accurate racing sim on the market. It's one of the most anticipated games to come out of E3(and has been for the past few years). People, who aren't even gaming fans I might add, have been waiting for this game since the launch of the PS3. If anything RB2 is going to have more trouble (if not the same amount of trouble) compared to Raging Blast. I can tell you right now I'm going to be waiting in line to pick up a game Nov. 2nd and that game isn't going to be RB2.
o__0 Damn.

I think Treyarch did a great job with CoD: World at War. I loved that game so much, I was even sad enough to get to 10th prestige on it. :lol: I will say though, if they don't put Zombies on Black Ops, I don't think as many people will be buying it.

Gran Turismo comes out November 2nd!? Wow, got to feel sorry for Bandai. They should release this game at the start of August.

Same here. I have never even watched Naruto, but this game looks absolutely incredible. That's how anime games should be.

2nd of November? Really Namco Bandai? Couldn't you at least put it off for a week?
I don't get the business decision here, at all. Raging Blast 2 is going to be flattened sales wise, just like it's predecessor, anybody with a pair of eyes can see it.

Their best bet would be to sell the game mid December(assuming they want to hit the holiday rush). Hitting a date like Dec. 15 would avoid the CoD and GT rush in November and would still hit high sale marks because of the Holiday season. Also, by having a date so close(but not to close) to Christmas they are destined to get sales from people who don't know what to get their kids for Christmas.

"Oh, Dra-gon-ball? That should be GREAT for Timmy!"

Also World at War was ok, but it really shined on the Wii with the Wii-Zapper. For the first time not having a Online ID was a good thing because you could make your own. I laughed so hard when my first death read "A Zombie Puppy killed you"
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

November again? Ugh....Really Bandai Namco :roll:, and you do think it's going to sell well against the new Call of Duty game? When I got the first game last year, I was the only person in line to buy RB and the people at EB games where like "Are you sure that you don't want to get MW2?". I think I was the only one who bought RB at my EB games last year.

Looks I like I won't be picking my copy until X-Mass.

Lol, they should just postponed releasing the game to 2011 fall that way developers get to work on the game more. It seems no matter what date they choose, they get screwed in some form.

I forgot that "Kinect" comes out on the 4th of November. I think a lot of people will be saving for that.

As in, they aren't characters to have never been featured in a game because they look like they walked straight out of Chrono Trigger or Dragon Quest.

I thought it was fairly amusing.

It's nice to see that they are going to add six new characters that have never been in a DBZ game before. I hope we get some from the DB movies 1-4.

It's just better to wait for RB3...

Really, I'm getting sick of them milking the series. Obviously they're saving GT characters + more for RB3, it'll have improved graphics, better gameplay, etc, etc.

It's always been the same trend and it always will be. Just wait another year.

Actually, in this video, a rep from Namco Bandai says that GT characters are going to be included in the game.


But yeah, RB3 is inevitable. :P

The way Namco Bandai keeps pumping out DB games say otherwise. But who knows?

As if this weren't true for a majority of later Toriyama-styled art?

Well in the video he said "up to GT" meaning it doesn't necessarily include GT..

Let's think about it, they said there would be 20 new characters. Turles, Janemba, and Dabura have been confirmed. 6 new characters never seen before also confirmed.

That leaves 11 characters.

I doubt they can pull off movie characters, DB characters, and GT characters in just 11 spots. Esepcially since Spike is stupid and counts transformations and separate characters

Or maybe there are GT characters, but personally I'll just wait for RB3, and even if RB3 doesn't end up coming out, at least RB2 will have gone down in price by then.

As far as GT characters go we will probably only get five

1.Uub
2.Pan
3.Super Baby 2
4.Super 17
5.Super Yi Shenlong

Personally I couldnt care less about Pan.
