"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[THEGOKU]

Wow...I mean to pull a stunt like this. They really know how to grind some gears huh? I really hope this next game is even worthy of being called good after this because this stunt is beyond belief pr wise.

[Jaruka]

Wow. So we had to get 100,000 likes so that we know exactly as much as we know now.

Utter twats.

[LeprikanGT]

Their PR person needs to be FIRED. You don't tease something just to get likes and then tell anyone it was for absolutely nothing at all since they would have released information whenever they wanted anyways. Now that I think about it; GOOD, I'm glad this wasn't open for other regions, saves us from wasting our time on them.

[Big Momma]

Okay, NOW it makes sense to get angry and send them messages

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

It was really shitty that they did this. Oh well, what's done is done I guess.

[Avenged]

It's just a new Wii U DBZ game.

[VegettoEX]

There is nothing about that article that is correct.

Which is why there is no news post on our website about it.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Treevax has already confirmed that it's not a Wii U exclusive.

Nah... that's just a rumor we established that a few pages ago.

[Jaruka]

I find that people give random links more credibility than is needed when that link is Japanese. It happened with Sparking! Omega too...

Agreed, I think even I find something more believable when I can't understand it. I don't know, I'm annoyed we haven't had anything new, but at the same time I'm glad that I can continue to have these high expectations before they're most likely shot down.

[THEGOKU]

This would explain the picture with the timeline. That should have been the first indication of no matter how many likes we'd get nothing. Still though not even a screen we should have at least got a screen. To say good now we have your attention is funny because they had it to begin with if anything this drew people away.

[VegettoEX]

It was rather clearly a case of, "Oh crap, we didn't think we'd get so many so fast, and we're still beholden to a timeline with Japan, so dammit someone just say that we'll share more soon."

Please don't hold it against them. I'm sure they're doing whatever they can.

I don't know, they gained almost 20k likes in just a few weeks, around a quarter of the likes they had before. Yeah people will be annoyed, but I think for most people they wouldn't 'un-like' the page because they are still interested in any news.

It was a dick-ish move but like VegettoEX said, their hands were probably tied, let's be honest, at the rate the likes were dripping in none of us would have foreseen any news for a week or two yet.

[Dbzmaster28]

They obviously didn't expect the 100k as soon as they did and weren't ready for it, don't know if its for legal reasons or whatever. But still, they should of at least had something ready to show before they even posted anything teasing "something new" in trade of that many likes. But this really isn't anything unusual for them either...
I'm gonna be patient though, because it really could be anything.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

I'm completely with you on this Mike, as I'm sure most of us are, it's the best they could do, at least they acknowledged it and didn't keep us waiting.

[Colonel Silver]

I'm not upset about how this turned out, I was sorta expecting something like this to happen. At the very least this will show them that a lot of people are interested in a new DB game. Just stay away from the kinect, card games, the QTE fighters, and you got yourself a buyer. Hell, a sequel to AoTS would be fine too, the game doesn't need to be a fighter. Just do everyone the favor and hold the BS.

[THEGOKU]

I'm not holding it against them I'm just looking at it in terms of PR because that's what I plan to do for a living. I think even details about it would have been good enough to hold us off. However, Mike is right plus I'm sure I'm wrong but haven't in this current gen at least only one or two games have had information come out in Europe or America before Japan?

[Ryuman]

I can't say I'm not disappointed. I guess it's clear now that they never had the authority to give us details in the first place. So really they lied but hoped it would come out conveniently true. But I'm not gonna get worked up about it or anything, I just wished they could've been more upfront about it with us.

[Jaruka]

Either way we wont have long to wait. UT was announced on May 3rd, Raging Blast 2 on May 8th and Raging Blast on May 19th.

That being said the first scan for UT said 'a return to Tenkaichi styled controls' so who will honestly believe the first few announcements anyway?
