It's not the final game, and there are still 6 months to fix the problems on it.

Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Honestly though, with these games has there been much change from it's first announcement to it's final product? Serious question.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I'm pretty sure that they have been working on this game by the end of October since it seems like that they always work on the next game after the next game comes out. I still doubt the Kinect controls are going to be any good at all since always been known to be broken.

Omega2040 sums up everything nicely about this game.

Same here, but what that "Dragon Ball Z HD" stuff is yet; it may be the other main game coming this year.

Are you saying that all Kinect games have broken controls? That's just not true at all.

I don't really agree with him now and nor with the YouTube community.

1. If a Kinect dance game works so then a fighting game too since both use the whole body. It's just up to the devs to make it work properly.

2. Producing an RB3/BT4 is not really the solution, it's just another generic Spike DBZ game with broken controls. Bring back Dimps' or some other new dev team instead.

The HD thing from Walt Mart's web site is the Kinect game since Walt Mart just remove the DBZ PS3 game not too while ago. It looks like we have to deal with the fact that this game is the main DB game of 2012. I do think a HD collection of the Budokai games would be a nice for the 10th anniversary of the DBZ games since no other game based on a TV show or manga has lasted long as the DBZ games.

No, I have played a few Kinect games. Some of them are fun while others are just mediocre games. Most Kinect games from what I've seen from other reviews that don't have controls that don't work right (Sonic Free Riders and the Star Wars game).

So after all these trailers and interviews etc. my reaction is this:
http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri= ... q11g98dvZ4
Yeah, I had to post that... :P
But in all seriousness, no matter how bad these games are, they still must be making enough money because of stupid fans like us who buy it for the new animation or the bonus character or to review it on a podcast. :wink: I really can't imagine these games costing all that much to make but I wish they'd stop before they can't climb out of the hole they dug.

Ps. The I-Pad is an overrated sack of shit.

It also won't let us see your video. You sent a mobile link. :wink:

Simple solution. Don't buy it. I broke my Dragonball Christmas tradition when Raging Blast came out. Haven't purchased a game since. I've wanted to, don't get me wrong, but I won't based on the principle of the thing. Until the quality gets better they aren't getting my money.

Omega2040 does make some good points that this game is a bad idea for it being the main DB game of 2012. Most people don't have a Kinect and most 360 owners don't even want one.

Has it been announced yet on which special will be included?
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Initially, I thought the iPad was redundant; I mean, who would need I giant iPhone/iPod Touch? However, now that I have one, I can tell you that it is quite impressive.
samuraix123 wrote:Has it been announced yet on which special will be included?
I don't think so. However, I'm going to make a prediction. I think that it will be the "Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return!" special. Hear me out. The special, while viewable with English subtitles, was made available through a Japanese website. The "average" DBZ fan has probably never seen it or even has any idea that it exists. Plus, with the inclusion of Tarble in the latest game, the special would shed some much-needed light on who that character even is. Additionally, as they have said the game will feature a never-before-seen character, that could easily be Abo+Cado. So, that's my theory. Take it for what it is. :wink:

Well ''IF'' it's "Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return!" and ''IF'' it gets dubbed(which in my opinion I'd say it won't be dubbed) then maybe there's a possibility of Funimation finely releasing it on DVD/Blu-ray. one can only dream

It's most likely Episode of Bardock, and the new character's probably Chilled. Just so Screw Attack can say Namco Bandai is making up characters again.

Since Dragon Ball Z For Kinect is a western game, I'd say it's gonna be dubbed in English at least. EoB sucked for me, but Burdock's Super Saiyan scene was kind of cool.

Chilled as the secret character, yeah possibly, but no real secret-character.

Majin Ozotto would've fitted better this game since he was included in a similar game like this than Lord Chilled. What good is Lord Chilled for...

I'm pretty sure it's likely going to be the episode of Bardock and it's likely going to get a English dub. Having Majin Ozotto would be cool, but I doubt Bandai even remembers him. He was a video game only character that only appear once in arcade game from 17 or 18 years ago.
