Zeq2 lite

[TRL]

Hello,

I've been a long time follower of daizex, among kanzentai and some french sites it's a valuable source of my dbz info! I've actually joined 2 years ago already but for some reason I was banned without making a single post.
As a form of introduction I would like to also introduce you to dbz game.

How many of you have heard of zeq2 lite?

It originated as a quake 3 based mod, but is now downloadable as a standalone game.

The game really tries to focus on anime likeness both graphics and gameplay wise, but is still under constant development.
Check out some of these pics and tell me what you think.

















































Sorry for the bunch load of pics.
I've been in the community for 2 years now and this some of the best stuff I've seen come along on the forums.
You have to know that not all of these rendered models are in game yet and that a lot of the in game screenshots I posted actually feature community produced addons like maps and character edits.
The project is in fact open sourced and on a constant lookout for new talented people to help along. It makes for a very interesting journey to follow on the forums, especially if the gaming itself isn't really your thing (which is my case). It being dbz themed, I thought it might something you guys could enjoy as well.

Anyway enjoy! And I hope to not get an instant ban this time around again!

If you want to check it out here's the official site and their moddb page.

:O Those Charactermodels are amazing!

[TRL]

Yup they are huh.

Although they don't have as much polygons as some of the next gen commercial dbz games, they focus on accuracy more which makes them more appealing to me.

Yeah, they kinda look like a mix of Burst Limit, Raging Blast and Budokai 3.

I'm more interested into the game engine itself rather then the character models...
Any videos out there, which explains me the engine?

Not really a video about that I'm afraid. But it's basically a modified version of ioquake3. The open source Quake 3 engine.

You could look up that engine with google.

So what kind of game is this, a fighting game? Action game? And does it play on a mouse?

I'd say somewhere between a fighter and a shooter. There's aiming beams and kiblasts involved but also Melee fighting with timing hits and blocks. No real melee combos though. It's more like Dbz Legends or Supersonic Warriors in that sense.

I guess this is a good show of the gameplay and you will hear some of the awesome music:

And here's an awesome sort of storymode cutscene video made by someone of the community to show what the game is capable off.
This is really worth the watch!

Strange, I would've thought there'd be more interest.

I guess commercial games' marketing motors do make a difference.
I should've have dispatched all this media one bit at a time. Build up a hype. But hey I'm not trying to sell here. That would be illegal.

Oh wow that looks cool. But when you say "It originated as a quake 3 based mod, but is now downloadable as a standalone game." does that mean I don't have to download quake 3 to play it? And could you give a download link?

Sure, it's entirely free to download, without need of Quake 3.

Catch!

The game updates regularly using a program called Tortoise SVN. So once in a while you can check for updates.

This looks great! I think there is a lot of interest, but due to the fact that a lot of people are currently celebrating the holidays theres not so much activity. Also the name of the topic doesn't really give away a lot of information . I'm gonna try this game, happy holidays!

[sangofe]

It looks okay, but from that game play video I think it looks a bit let's say... the animations don't really look too fluid and that you can'd do too much. I'm not complaining, this is a fan made game and is very well made, but I think i'd rather stick with official games since my time is somehow limited.

How is that possible?

I tried ZEQ2 Lite a few years ago. TBH, ESF's gameplay is much, much better. ZEQ may look better than ESF (its already released versions, at least), but ESF: Final will make ZEQ eat dust. As long as ESFF gets released at all, that is.

The score ain't bad either

Hehe yeah exactly! The soundtrack reminiscent of Faulconer is one of the reasons I love this game.

@ hlev, sangofe: Yes I'd have to agree, the gameplay isn't up to par yet. But the game is under constant development so it can't hurt to be on the lookout. Also Esf has one of the best animators around and that's exactly what Zeq2 is missing for the moment.

Heh, being a Kikuchi fan that soundtrack put me off

Some more new pics, guys.
Showing off new super saiyan shaders and the last stand map (you know where that famous scouter scene happened).

[Tanooki Kuribo]

Wow, this reminds me of an updated "Bid for Power". This all looks really nice.
