"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[Makaioshin]

I missed the DLC part. Pretty cool, I wasn't expecting us to get any DLC characters. I assumed they would save that for the third installment.

Nah, don't raise your expectations. I'm 99% certain that it will just be typical Spike DLC, the super powered characters with items we can't normally obtain in game. Though I'm not sure if those super powered DLC characters and the DLC characters with the alternate colored costumes (ie. Vegeta with Bardock colors) are one in the same. There may be super powered characters AND alternate colored costume characters, or the super powered characters may have alternate colored costumes.

Ah.
And I didn't really follow the first game so were there ever pre-order bonus costumes that eventually became DLC? I want my manga coloured characters.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Well, the first game...I only remember the preorder bonus being the ability to unlock SS3 Broli right off the bat. I would assume that anything they offer for preordering will be available as DLC eventually though, as Spike doesn't really seem to be the type of company to go out of their way to make real DLC or exclusive material.

[CrimsonSparrow]

this will probably be the RB3 cast of returning characters..

1: Lord Slug
2: Lord Slug (Giant)
3: Janemba (Base Form)
4: Garlic Junior
5: Garlic JUnior Second Form
6: Dr Wheelo
7: Supreme Kai
8: Kibitoshin
9: Tapion
10: King Cold
11: King Vegeta
12: Fasha
13: Turles (Great Ape)
14: Bardock (Great Ape)
15: Raditz (Great Ape)
16: Nappa (Great Ape)
17: Vegeta (Great Ape)
18: King Vegeta (Great Ape)
19: Fasha (Great Ape)
20: Hirudegarn

I have a feeling RB3 will be all about the giants.

Oh and I'm new btw!

[Rostir]

They should plan on making the Ape 2 times as big as the original, in BT3 they were only 1.5 times larger than Broly.

It was real dlc just dlc the majority didn't like.

That's the only logical way. But, would be unfair. It's best to leave them out IMO.

I've already said this in the thread, unless they decide to throw us a total curve ball, Ryo Mito has said they want to keep giant characters out of Raging Blast to allow characters to be better balanced. Adding them would be pointless. None of the characters have a natural brick wall effect, and since giants would be slower to compensate for the increased damage output, their only option would be to spam supers or ultimates. That isn't balanced and contradicts what they are attempting to achieve with the series.

As far as I'm aware, as small as the downloads are, the content was already on the disc and all we did was download the unlock code. That doesn't qualify as REAL DLC, at least not IMO. I wasn't even talking about the fact that the DLC was just crappy super powered custom characters, but that sucks too. =P

[Innagadadavida]

To be fair, Ryo Mito has proven time and time again that he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about.

Hmm, well said.

I doubt they will give EVERY saiyan an oozaru form like BT3. Maybe they will add giants but not that many of the same thing. They left enough room to finish out Z and the Movies w/ still adding 20+ to the roster.

[Bardo117]

They should just throw in all the Characters from BT3 and get it over with. They're not putting any effort into their games anymore...

Its Real DLC just done in a crappy way. It maybe on a a disc but you download the unlock key. Stupid but thats how it is.

Did you SERIOUSLY just say they aren't putting any effort into this game?

And what does "get it over with" mean? Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast are two different series. The goal on the Raging Blast series is not to get the BT3 roster accomplished.

It does take time to recreate those characters.

To me. an 20 Character jump isn't really much. Haven't you seen the final roster? The videos show that most characters have the same moves like in RB, it pisses me off that Dimps can't get over here and make a good game. BL was such a good game, but it was missing characters, and a longer story, but besides that, it was perfect.

I hope your not the type thats going to say more effort was put into Burst Limit.

@CrimsonSparrow Are you from Anime Secret forums?

How do you plan characters to get new moves. The show is from the 80's, it's not like they are just hanging out making new moves to later on someone can add it to a game. PLENTY of characters so far have new and refined moves. They aren't going to show you every single new thing they added right off the bat in the vidoes, they are saving things until you get the game.

BL was FAR from perfect....just like EVERY single other DBZ game. The BL series had its chance and it did not pan out; so RB came along and was more popular and has a second game.

Raging Blast 2 has by far the MOST effort put into it than any other DBZ game I've ever seen.

[goku the krump dancer]

Not only that but all Burst Limit was just Shin Budokai 2 with Budokai 1's roster, nice graphics and drama pieces which was the selling point of the game and most people hated them.

I couldn't stand those drama pieces. I'm glad raging blast got it right with "Wild Sense" because half those drama pieces were there to save you from getting hit and wild sense didnt like 10 seconds to do.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

That's your opinion, I don't see it as real DLC if I can use an Action Replay and unlock "DLC" that is already on the disc without ever downloading the code from them. True DLC shouldn't already be on the disc, and no one should be able to access it until the developers release it. I'm not saying their crappy characters aren't DLC, they could be if the download would actually be installing the custom setup. Its just the fact that it is already on the disc and all you are getting is the code to unlock the content you already had and paid for but couldn't use.
