I'd rather it be a Budokai game than more trash from Spike, and if they're the ones developing this game it'll likely be trash.

So, they're using at least some of Treevax's ideas, but it's not Raging Blast 3? That's pretty interesting...

Don't get your hopes up guys. Raging Balst 3 might be fake, but Raging Blast 3 on the other hand...

(Seriously why did they even misspell the title? It feels like someone randomly hacked their account and put up random respones, than the actual staff)

Can it be..?

I think that it is really a typo, because I read somewhere some time ago that Raging Blast franchise will not return because of the poor sales. And Treevax is always saying that RB3 is just a fan name because it doesn't exist..

I hope you're not serious, Nightstar1994.

That clearly was just a typo because as you've seen they replied to others to regarding their bitching and wanting it asap.

It could be a purposeful mistake to throw people off. I wouldn't mind an RB3 myself.

They already announced that the Raging Blast series wasn't drawing in the kind of sales they wanted back when they released Ultimate Tenkaichi/Blast, so they would be abandoning that title for subsequent releases. So, as previously stated, we might be getting "Raging Blast 3", but it won't be titled that...

Yeah, it would probably be named Tenkaichi, to try to draw in the old fans, it would be their biggest and best attempt at the Tenkaichi/RB Forumula.
It could be a kind of... Ultimate Tenkaichi, if you will... Wait... NO GODDAMIT!

I think more people would want the return of the Budokai games then another Sparking style game that we got for the past 8 years. I do think we could see the return of Dimps, but I won't get my hopes up.

I hope for a completely new game.

Yes. The Budokai games are fun, but don't attract me to play them that much (I've played so far Budokai 3, Infinite World, Burst Limit, Shin Budokai, and Shin Budokai 2), and they are also unrealistic in terms of DBZ fighting. But I would still get the game.
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 usual Spike stuff isn't really fun. I would be fine with a Budokai-like game if it was more like Infinite World or Burst Limit. But I would rather it be something new. Or Super DBZ 2/Zenkai Battle Royale since those games know how to have characters play differently from each other.

Take Zenkai Battle Royale, and build upon it utilizing Treevax's suggestions.

Zenkai battle royal is more or less an HD tenkaichi.

Maybe there are some similarities, but to me it looks like a dream.

That looked different then I remember. If they could add team battle and 1 on 1 from Tenkaichi find a way to do handicap battles and then add some of Treevax's ideas that would be a great game.

...Zenkai Battle Royal doesn't look like it plays like the Sparking games at all. They may be similar in style but the fighting systems are different entities.

I don't really want a Zenkai Battle Royal port. I'm not really a fan of the action figure look of the characters and they left out in game transformations(I'm assuming it has something to do with it being arcade but I don't know). However, the game did a lot of things right and I'd like to see that carry over. The levels are bigger than most Raging Blast/Tenkaichi games, and if that's the style they are sticking too than the levels should be as huge. I don't remember seeing a lot of variety in the levels, but the size is what is important. The effects on the energy blasts are pretty. I'm sure they would work well too with a cartoon style as well. Plus the fan service with costumes and the music(yes!) was great. If they were to take those pluses, and mix it into something new designed for the PS3 and 360, we might be ok.
...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?

Zenkai Battle Royal is great concept but it looks like a pain in the ass to control. It looks so stiff =/.
