"There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

None of the RB games had nearly as much advertisement as Burst Limit. Do you really think all those millions of people would all of a sudden pass on the next-gen iteration a series they haven't played in two years if they knew about it?

Budokai Tenkaichi 4 or Raging Blast 3 would be more or less the same because the engine is practically the same with some differences.
I know it would be the same, but people went crazy over Sparking Omega so I'm saying a BT4 would probably sell better just because of the name. :)

We had three years of Budokai Tenkaichi releases before Burst Limit so I know you're not talking about the wait from Budokai 3. So, if you're referring to a hypothetical third Raging Blast I really doubt that'll be a PS4/720 or even a Wii U game. PS3/360 are old platforms in 2013, and people aren't quick to forget about a company that releases trash. If this is a new game from Spike I expect it to use a new game since "Raging Blast" is worthless, and they've tarnished the "___ Tenkaichi" brand with 2011's marquee release.
"I like the money it brings in, but Dragon Ball Heroes is the worst. That's actually the real reason I decided to start working on new material. I was afraid Bandai would make something irredeemably stupid like Super Saiyan 4 Broly." - Akira Toriyama, made up interview, 2013.

Here the rumors of the time, a message from Tony Shoupinou, community manager for Namco Bandai Europe, announce the arrival of a new Dragon Ball this year. Dragon Ball Game Project Age 2013 (provisional name) is apparently exclusive production Nintendo Wii U. Many players will be disappointed for once since the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 would be set aside ...

A minimum of information has also been provided and the title seems attractive at first glance. According to statements, the player will retrace the complete saga Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball through, continuing with the period Z, GT and ending with, not to mention the "TV-Movies". Add to that more than 30 arenas available with hundreds of characters.

To top it all, a mode called Dragon Rus h will be embellished beat'em all phases and fight scenes. No doubt the gameplay operate partly gamepad functionality. Rumor true or false? Just wait a little longer to find out. Look kindly formalization of this mysterious Dragon Ball Game Project Age 2013.
Namco Bandai isn't that stupid to shoot themselves on the foot to release a Dragon Ball exclusive for a console that isn't selling well nor does it have a large fanbase.

There's a 50/50 of it happening. People didn't believe that Namco Bandai was publishing Dragon Ball Z for the Kinect, but they really did, although there was evidence.

I find myself getting more and more impatient every day. Their plan has a lot in 'April/May' so it can't be that long until we see something

It's all up to what Namco Bandai thinks it's good for the franchise's progress.

Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit had 40 characters (including transformations and whatnot) and 5 stages, certainly not too much content but it was fun to play and the music was great to (By Yamamoto).

Whether this year's another game developed by Spike or some other dev team, it'll be interesting to know, see and play.

It wasn't Namco Bandai's or Spike's fault how Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast turned out, they gave the fans the opportunity to voice their opinions and they liked it so NB assumed the rest would too.

But why even either these two (Dragon Ball Z: For Kinect, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai HD) exist I don't know, perhaps they're working on a quality DB game for 2013 and used these two as a vessel for 2012.

That's exactly why they did it, according to Nishimura (the label director of Namco Bandai Games).
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. 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.

The first RB game did had TV spots since I remember seeing one on Adult Swim in 2009. I don't think advertisement will save the RB games since they still got mixed reviews which lead to poor sales.

I'm referring to both franchises as a whole.
B1- 2002
B2- 2003
B3- 2004
BT1- 2005
BT2/Shin B.- 2006
BT3/Shin B. AR- 2007
BL/IW- 2008
RB- 2009

From Budokai up until Raging Blast, we only went through one year with no Budokai game. Hell, in 08 we got two of them and no Tenkaichi title at all.
