DBZ Budokai HD Collection: Official On-Going Thread

[dbboxkaifan]

Trevax didn't ask NB during the interview if this game were to have a public demo, but I just hope it does. I know it's nothing new, and all, but until it's released playing the demo should be fun.

By the way, MW3 demo is out. If anyone cares. xD

Hopefully, they'll consider the idea of a custom soundtrack for the collection later on in production time because I don't what to play Budokai with BT3 or UT music.

Xbox 360 - Definitely!

PS3? It's entirely up to Namco Bandai whether they permit the users or not to listen to custom soundtracks.

Only recently PS3 received the YouTube App which Xbox 360 got a while ago, maybe Sony will make the custom soundtrack feature available in near future.

The custom soundtrack feature is something Sony allows on PS3. Sony doesn't force it though, and rather allows developers to decide if they want to support it or not. It's the opposite case on Vita, where developers have to go out of their way to disable custom soundtrack, and screenshot support.

As for Youtube, I imagine Sony didn't care since the PS3 has had a web browser capable of displaying Youtube XL for years. The 360 is only getting a weird version of Internet Explorer this fall.

1) YouTube XL is horrible. The videos only play in 240p quality, so... I'm waiting for the YouTube PS3 App to hit the UK PS3 store and it'll show up on the "My Channels" regardless of the system having 4.11 FW and not 4.21 FW.

2) Internet Explorer has been already added to Xbox 360 some time ago, that is, for those that are in the Beta Dashboard, like me. It's not really weird, it's Xbox own version of IE. Wish Sony would update their browser so I wouldn't have to wait for the YouTube App (YouTube App is on 360 but currently I'm Silver not Gold).

What music is going to be in this game?

[dbboxkaifan]

I've heard BT3's, UT's and a new soundtrack (check trailer). We'll know for sure what it really has when gameplay videos are uploaded by Namco Bandai, IGN or some other gaming company.

[dbboxkaifan]

Anyone already pre-ordered this?

I've been playing Shin Budokai 2 lately on my PSP Slim and I love the gameplay, I can't wait to play Budokai 3 so anxious now!

By the way, is the Xbox 360 editions in two discs? Yeah, I wish.

Why?
Anyway, I haven't preordered it yet, and I might not get it for a while after it's out.

I doubt it. These games shouldn't be no more than 2.5-3 GB each.

Each game per disc, just to have both games separated than in just one disc.

Most HD Collections contain all 2-3 games in just one disc (right?), well, it's also cheaper for Namco Bandai to release it on one disc than two.

Though Budokai 1 (PS2) had awesome voices, they're heavily compressed in 22kHz, so I wish the PS3 version contains audio streaming files in lossless quality.

Let's hope they have the original files.

For anyone interested, here are the achievements for the game:

Depending on what the secret achievements are, this all seems like stuff I managed on the originals.

Yeah, it's mostly stuff you couldn't help doing any way. I'd bet the secret achievements are something like unlocking characters and summoning the dragons etc..

And according to this, they are:

Might finally get the 1000 on a Dragon Ball game.

The achievements' pictures look cool, hope they'll include one or a couple of Gamer Pictures to unlock and used them for the profile.

By the way, Spike Chunsoft has recently released another Xbox 360 exclusive game (digital arcade) which is Fire Pro Wrestling that used the avatars.

My avatar probably shouldn't be wearing glasses in a cage. lol

Those achievements don't look too bad I can't wait to pick this game up

[dbboxkaifan]

Are you buying at launch day?

All in all, the music replacement won't be all that bad, because there's always the option to play any track.

What'd be worse would be if the games only had the English dub because for the games I always prefer them in Japanese audio, except when there's no option (Tenkaichi Tag Team).

I'll have to wait for a future price drop on this game, still waiting for Ultimate Tenkaichi to drop around £9.95 on Zavvi.com (Zavvi's part of TheHut group) or TheHut.

Um I'm not sure if I will buy it on release day or not. just depends on if I can spare it.

Yeah, Wakamoto Norio was still at the top of his game then. Hopefully the original performances are still available.

Assuming it's the same on PS3, looks to be an easy platinum.
