DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)

[InfernalVegito]

Same here. Also I don't understand why the camera changes to the side sometimes giving us a "2D" Budokai-like perspective.

[Rostir]

I need 2 hours with this game's demo, so I can figure what is happening. I can't judge the game at all because I am lost in the combat system.

I'm hoping that is a good thing, maybe the combat is just so deep and amazing we don't understand it, or maybe it is just QTEs with some Raging Blast here and there, I hope not.

[Chuquita]

I'm interested to see what sort of special features they'll include in this game; I mean, Raging Blast 2 had an animated special inside it. I'm not sure how you can just go back to not having such a thing without having a feature that can top it.

[sangofe]

Where did they say that they took out the SSJ3s? Also that 30 characters thing is a mistranslation or misunderstanding, it is 30 NEW characters in addition to the Raging Blast 2 characters. Anyone could figure that out if you tried to make a character list going from the beginning of Z through GT with only 30 slots including transformations(Counting the like 15 we already know are in the game)

It is not a misstranslation; the french article says the game will have 30 characters less.

[Makaioshin]

Interesting. Maybe since they are going with manga-styled graphics they won't use anime exclusive characters. Though, that would only be like 25 characters.

[Super Saiyajin Luffy]

Broly is already in the roster, Fat Jamemba is confirmed.
Ergo, some movie-characters in.

Ah, I had no idea.

[Jaruka]

Interesting... I don't know what to think yet

[Budogenkai]

I don't really know what to think either, but it comes out 5 days before my birthday, so I'm totally gonna get it!

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Now that I reread the interviews and articles, how can they add in GT while still maintaining a 30 character cut? Removing 30 characters still places us around the original Raging Blast roster. Raging Blast 2 had 100 characters if I'm not mistaken and they are removing 30, so we end up at 70 (less than Raging Blast 1). Counting the reveals since the announcement, I think we have like 22 of the characters, not counting the giants that I don't think will be playable by us.

Son Goku (Base, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3)
Kid Son Gohan
Vegeta (Base, Super Saiyan)
Future Trunks w/ Sword (Base)
Piccolo
Kuririn
Yamcha
Tenshinhan
Saibaiman
Nappa
Vegeta w/ Scouter
Reacoom
Captain Ginyu
Freeza (2nd Form, True Form, 100% Power True Form)
#18
Cell (Perfect Form)
Broli ("Legendary" Super Saiyan")

Bosses (Playable? Doubtful...)
Oozaru - Maybe Piccolo versus Gohan, he has a finished model.
Oozaru Vegeta
Janenba (Fat)

What do you know, it looks exactly like the last six games. People would be better off just replaying one of the previous Tenkaichi style games they already own, and not wasting $60.

[Innagadadavida]

For the love of God, Spike! You people need to fix your damn mouth animation. A loop does not animation make. For example of good mouth animation, see: Burst Limit.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.
Burst Limit? Really?

This compared to the "DADADADADA" of recent Spike games. It's just an endless loop of open to close. It's hideous and distracting. Even Tenkaichi 3 had better mouth animation.

[goku the krump dancer]

Well if they really are taking that many characters out lets hope that they combine the ones that really dont need to be seperate.

[Super Saiyan Turlast x4]

Not sure what to think right now, but I really like the way the game looks.

[Rostir]

The graphics look similar to Super DBZ.

Yeah, pretty much. Definitely not going to buy this.

I haven't bought the last three Dragonball PS3 games and I'm not even thinking about getting this one. Nothing changes or improves from game to game anymore. I'll do my best to hunt down a copy of Sparking 3 and call it a day.

[LeprikanGT]

So wait....

Does it switch into 2D fighting when they get close to one another and what was with the stopping before attacking? That was odd.

I'm so confused, can we just not punch and kick anymore? And why does like every blast make contact and start up a little cut scene thing?

Also...the US trailer just OWNED the JP trailer.

[Animefreak1325]

So, uh, does this game even have any REAL fighting in it? I was pumped up when I saw the trailers, but I was let down when I saw gameplay. To me, it all looks like a bunch of cutscenes.
