Who should make the next DBZ game?

Post by Hellspawn28 » Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:41 am

Who would like to see make the next DBZ game other then Spike or Dimps. I would love to see BioWare make a DBZ game since they have a great tract record of games and a DBZ RPG from them could be awesome to see.

I'd really want Platinum Games to make a kickin' rad beat-em-up/character action game, as I'm completely sick of mediocre Dragon Ball fighting games.

They did a good job on MadWorld, I think they might do a good job on making a DBZ game. I would like to see the people who made Ultraman Fighting Evolution Rebirth make a DBZ fighting game since that game was pretty good. A nice example of gameplay:

Bioware's owned by EA, so that won't happen.

I'd like to see GameRepublic (Folkore, Majin & The Foresaken Kingdom, alongside 3 DS Dragon Ball titles), Ninja Theory (Enslaved, DMC: Devil May Cry, and Heavenly Sword), and Monolith Soft (Xenosaga, Xenoblade, Attack of the Saiyans) get the budget to make some HD console games.

Someone else to pick up the rights to Dragon Ball in the US just like Atari did. I would not mind if Activison or EA buys the rights to Dragon Ball.

This. This SO much.

Like, seriously. Give me God Hand's (or heck, even Bayonetta's, if you want it to be a little less technical) engine with a Dragon Ball skin, and I'll be all about that. God Hand's "fighting system" (I guess you could call it that) is easily one of the best out there, and I think it would translate pretty well to the mechanics of Dragon Ball - Early on in the story especially.

Or let Treasure make a DS sidescroller. That'd be great too. :D

I wouldn't mind seeing CyberConnect2 take a crack at a Dragon Ball game.
Original Dragon Ball (volumes 1-16) would get me even more interested.

I might be wrong, but I'm moderately sure Sonic Chronicles was in development before EA acquired Bioware.

BioWare being owned by EA doesn't make them developing a Dragon Ball game impossible, they're working on a Star Wars MMO despite LucasArts being in charge of the Star Wars video game license. They could work out some type of deal with Namco Bandai, it just won't happen. :P

You know, I never really thought about it but in there hands a Dragonball beat-em-up would be fun as hell. They haven't made one disappointing game. God Hand(back when they were Clover Studios) and Mad World were fun as hell.

For a fighting game though, I'd like Capcom to do it. They got the flashy; fun fighting games style vibe that fits Dragonball well. Namco Bandai fighters are great(when not done by Spike) but they are slower in pace compared to Capcom's style.

If not Capcom, I'd say the guys who did Blaz Blue. A pretty 2D/HD Dragonball game would be fun in a old school kind of way.

Rocksteady did an amazing job with Batman but I don't think they're the right team for Dragonball. Cyberconnect2 on the other hand is a big HELL YEA! If they could do to Dragonball what they did for Naruto I'd be all for it.

Traveler's Tales. I kinda want something different from the constant stream of fighting games. It'd be interesting seeing Dragon Ball getting the Lego treatment. At least then I wouldn't complain that all the characters play basically the same

If not TT, then maybe Nintendo. I'd like some mindless mini games or a fun racer with some DB characters.

Lego Dragon Ball sounds like a fun idea. I would buy it.

I'd like to see anybody actually make a good DB game.

Have Crafts & Meister and Arika work on another game. :P

Other than that, I'd also have to say Ninja Theory. Though the likelihood of that happening is low.

I think CyberConnect2 should make a 3D Fighting game for the Playstation 3, with graphics similar to either Budokai 3, Infinite World or Raging Blast. All of those games have an "Anime-like" look to them, and the charatcer models are just stunning. I think the Gameplay itself should be a mix of Naruto Shipuuden:Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and Infinite World. The story should be just as good as the Naruto Shipuuden:Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, but with some Minigames similar to the ones in Super Street Fighter 4, Budokai 1 and Infinite World. I think the Dragonball story would be the best part to cover, from Bulma Meets Goku, to Goku marrying Chichi. The music should be composed by Kenji Yamamoto, but the ones that composed music for either Plan to eradicate the Super Sayians, the Blue Dragon games or Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 and 2 could work aswell. The modes should be:

Story Mode:
Begins with Goku walking in the forest, thinking about what he is eating. YES, IT COULD BE THAT DETAILED.

Tenkaichi Mode:
Tournament

Online:
Online Fights and Tournament

Sparring:
Vs Mode

Karins Tower:
Options

The voices should be the Original Japanese cast, if that can be done, and the english Z Kai voices.
