Well, hopefully the gameplay is solid. And if this is supposed to have THE BIGGEST CHARACTER ROSTER EVER, then the story mode, which by now we should know how it'll play out, should cover the WIDEST AMOUNT of the story ever. I swear to god, if it has BT3 character plus like 5 new ones.....I'm gonna be pissed beyond belief.

They should add Clone Broli to that roster. Surprised to see no one has made the effort to give that a mention.
The world is your's.

Bio Broly seems to be one of the most unpopular DB characters. I would like to see him since he has yet to appear playable in any major DB game.

Oh YESS! Hope it's all true! I want to see a great story mode with Cut-Scene from DB to Goku Jr VS Vegeta Jr, OAV included!

And yeah, awesome roster with GT Characters! YEAH!

I don't know how they're going to add more characters to the roster, besides adding Chilled and the one-off characters from the Raging Blast games. Are we going to see more general uncreativeness, where every Saiyan character gets a Super Saiyan form? How about Oozaru forms for Trunks, Future Trunks, Goten, Gotenks, Vegetto and Gogeta?

Actually, those'd be pretty cool, in a deathly curious to see what they'd look like kind of way.

I would love to see what if's back. Give SSj's transformations for Radditz, Nappa, Tullece, King Vegeta, Paragus, and Tarble for once.

Kuririn (Kid), Cymbal, Drum, SS Bardock, Chilled, Abo, Kado, Aka, Z, Onio, Kurieza, Bio Broli, Yamu, Pui Pui, Yakon, Majin Buu (Evil) - Piccolo Absorbed, Majin Ozotto,
Pan (Kid), Uub (Kid), Vegeta (GT), Trunks (GT), Son Gohan (GT), Son Goten (GT), Redict, Rilld, Bebi, San Xing Long, Son Goku Junior, Vegeta Junior

Doesn't have to be these exact characters, but there are plenty of ideas to throw in there other than "MOAR! Every1 Saiyan gets SS and SS3!1!11!"

I hope everything is not unlock from the start since I like to unlock everything. My biggest issue with the 3rd Sparking game since pretty much every thing was already unlock and I got bored with it pretty quickly.

One more thing I'm hoping for is that Goku (GT)'s Super Saiyan 3 form actually has a voice. Unlike in Meteor. :cry:

Does this mean that Dragon Ball and GT will finally get real representations instead of half-assed "here's some characters"? Maybe we will finally see Bio Broly in a game.
I hope the visuals look like the first Raging Blast game, just with better colors and better faces that don't look lifeless.

Oh boy, here we go again. I agree with most people, I can just see Spike grabbing the previous Sparking! METEOR roster, grabbing the new guys from Raging Blast 2 and call it a day. Maybe they'll be generous and add like five more characters if that.

They used to grab previous existing models from their games, and they've still got the following from METEOR: Mai Machine and Shu Machine (used during an attack from Pilaf Machine), Drum (used as an attack for Piccolo Daimao), Yamu (used as an attack for Spopovich), Pui Pui and Yakon (used as attacks for Babidi). That and Coola as the nucleus of Big Gete Star in Ultimate. That's seven already existing models they can update and use.

Anyone else not expecting them to take the lazy way?

*Snob mode on*

Budokai 1 cutscenes. Raging Blast 2 graphics. GT & RB2 characters. Tenkaichi 3 gameplay with RB2 customization. Character creator.

That is all.
GT isn't bad, just sucks ass in comparison to the other 2 animes.

But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. 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.

Weren't they called "The Four Monarchs" or something like that? Or Spice Boys is a dub thing?

So, uhhh, who wants to bet the first scan will include an image of Goku fighting Vegeta. :P Still, I'm gonna keep quiet on this till we get a bit more information. At the moment I feel like they could fuck it up real bad or produce a game that fans will adore but critics will roll their eyes at.

The "realistic" graphics? Dear God, NO. It's supposed to represent an anime, make it look like one.

Everything else you said, I agree with. I'd add to that "more Dragon Ball and GT characters and story, Episode of Bardock (story and characters....and anime? :wink: ) and all that jazz"

Not JUST Goku and Vegeta. According to Famitsu, Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Vegeta lol. (I guess it makes sense, since it's the first time we'll be getting them in HD, which is kinda cool)

I remember they called them "Spice Boys" in the Funimation dub from what I can remember. It's a stupid name and I think they called them that to mock the Spice Girls at the time in the 90's? I think having GT Videl would be better as a outfit for Videl then her own character. I just hope they don't have three or four versions of Goku and Vegeta like they did in the past. Just have one version of Vegeta for once!

Why the fuck would you want that? They look like they're made of plastic. The best look for Dragon Ball is cel shaded.

Yes they were. I hate the name "Spice Boys", it's so fucking stupid.

And that selection of characters... Dear lord. GT Videl? Why? Of all GT characters, why Videl?

I love how vague you're being.

Oolong even in giant robot form is still weak as shit.
Super Saiyan forms for all Saiyans; fuck no. I'm okay with what ifs, I'm okay with characters with new forms, I'm not okay with every fucking character having every fucking form.

Exclusive character from a different series? Just no. Personally I do NOT want to see that. Only if their from series connected to Dragon Ball like Dr. Slump or Neko Majin.
