New PSP Game: Dragonball Z Tenkaichi Tag Team

[nathantheguitarist]

The last two were actually Kid Buu and ....fucking Broly.

I was going to post here and call it, (and the two before that, minus Dabra) but for some reason didn't.

How lame... I don't get Broly's following. Not at all.

Edit: 1000 posts eh?

This game seems just like Tenkaichi 3 (or Sparking! METEOR) only it's on PSP. Is there anything new?

[The S]

Considering the fact that the entire cast was confirmed during that trailer a while back, I don't see why anybody's surprised....

Me neither. Whenever games just have Bardock and Broli as the extended universe characters, it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Kid Gohan
Teen Gohan - +Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2
Gohan - +Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2

You mean aside from the fact it's 2vs2?

The story mode looked pretty new, from what we saw in the trailer.

People who have the demo: how is the 2 on 2 battles? Do you think it could easily be ported to the Raging Blast fighting system or is that game a completely different engine? Are the worlds more Budokai or Tenkaichi?

oops... missed this post :/

I watched a bunch of videos for RB2 just now, and aside from gawking at the amazing graphics, I noticed a couple touchy instances of glitchiness with the camera. Like, it'd shake violently if the opponent in the right/wrong spot. I think that's common in the Sparking games, but I'm not really sure. Anyways, the 4-man battles are fairly hectic, but other than some camera tweaking, I'd say it could work. I don't know if it's really a different fighting engine though. I've only actually played the first Sparking/Tenkaichi and this demo. heh...

Back to my last sentence, from what I've seen in the demo (and the videos on Namco-Bandai's site) is that the levels look like graphically toned down versions of what's in Tenkaichi/Sparking 1. Some levels look exactly the same, just crappier. Like the ruined city, or the road with the creek and area off to the side. The level in the demo is just some hills and grass lol. The levels aren't really impressive, but considering it's a PSP game, they do seem fairly large... I guess? I think I'm just disappointed in the graphics because I was watching RB2 videos for like an hour.


Also, I downloaded the NA demo today, and the only options are single-player and multiplayer. What the hfil was that third option on the JP demo?

Third option on the Japanese Demo was a Promo Video. That, and SCEA's super compression is why the demo is like half the size of the Japanese one.

[nathantheguitarist]

Ohhh yeah. Duh. How'd I forget that? Probably because I didn't sit and watch the video lol.

[nathantheguitarist]

Yes I'm double posting =p
Does anyone know if there will be any alternate costumes in this game? (I can't remember for the life of me if either Shin Budokai did, but I'm leaning towards "no")

And in the English demo, Android 19's voice is different than the original dub. Has it been different for recent games and I'm just now noticing? What's the new VA's name, and is there a possibility this will be his voice in Kai?

On that note, any word on which Gohan will be present? Or Freeza for that matter?

Todd Haberkorn took over #19 in Raging Blast. It might be him here.

There's a video up of the whole unlocked character screen. It doesn't look like there's alternate costumes...

I am so disappoint.

The screenshot under Freeza Henchman's character page shows Kid Gohan and Krillin in Saiyan armor pretty clearly, so there must be at least a few alternate outfits.

[nathantheguitarist]

I feel a little relieved and dumb at the same time. lol

Ok, so going through those screens on the profile pages, this is what else I found.

Piccolo in hat and cape
Battle-worn SS Goku.

And that's it. Bah.

[Chuquita]

I'd really like to see a game with "Bad Man" as an alternate outfit for Vegeta some day.
You'd think with so may Dragon Ball fighting games out there that it would have at least appeared once.

Even though it's nothing new to Dragon Ball games on the PSP, it's annoying to hear recycled music.

I didn't even watch it with sound. All I know is`that the music from the demo was more new than anything I last heard, which is good, because I'm at the point where I can't play Shin Budokai with music on.

It's not... anything recycled that far back, is it? I's scared to listen now that you said that.

It's a battle theme from Tenkaichi 3.
