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

[TheGmGoken]

i just realised that this is an official photo of Battle of Z and not taken from another game ex,zenkai royale or tenkaichi tag team...






from the photo it shows the target system is like tenkaichi tag team and zenkai battle royale....and i also like the health and ki one it's pretty simple but kinda bad i guess? as well the gameplay seems very close to zenkai (go see a video of zenkai and u will notice the goku attack one) as well as the enemies names/health same as zenkai so i guess it have a lot of similarities...

also the genki at the top? does that mean u have to beat him up to make spirit bomb? also which confirmed it's a spirit bomb look at the icon below 06 it looks like he's gathering energy....

Genki is for the tag team attacks. The health and ki is the best health-ki bar since the Budokai Series.

I like RB's life gauges better.

I like RB's life gauges better.

One thing I'm worried about is. How long will it take to damage your foe? These life bars look short. So the damage amount is less or you have to equip stuff to make your life longer?

[Big Momma]

I feel like the HUD will more than likely change by the games release. Of course, I could be wrong...but it wouldn't be the first time the HUD was changed from the original footage.

What would be cool is if we can take the control of the different characters in the team, like in soccer games and other team sport video games.

I'm surprised Spike didn't think of the Para Brothers for a dance mode on the DBZ Kinect game.

[DBZ Mick]

You know the way you guys are posting about various different teams could bring an interesting element to the gameplay...

[TheGmGoken]

Can't wait to see fanfics use this game

[JeffJarrett]

This game needs a lot of characters, more than BT3.
Otherwise, we'll complete the game in about 12 matches:

- Vs. Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Saibaman
- Vs. Great Ape Vegeta & Saibamen (apparantly)
- Vs. Great Ape Gohan
- Vs. Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon
- Vs. The Ginyu Force
- Vs. Frieza
- Vs. #19 & #20
- Vs. #18 & #17 on the Mountain Road
- Vs. #17 & Cell on the Islands
- Vs. Cell in the Cell Games
- Vs. Dabura and Babidi's other men
- Vs. The Buus

The bar could work just like it did on the Budokai & Tenkaichi games, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Japan Expo is finally coming up (4 July 2013 to 7 July 2013) so we'll more than likely get a lot of info we want. I personally just want a release date and know if they'll publish a playable demo on XBL/PSN.

Hope this isn't the last 360 / ps3 Dragon Ball Z game

[goku the krump dancer]

Hope this isn't the last 360 / ps3 Dragon Ball Z game

Honestly I hope it is but it most likely won't be, we'll probably get one more game for 2014 then they'll jump ship to the next gen consoles.

On another note, I can't believe I'm saying "Next Gen" and not referring to PS3/360 lol.

[dbboxkaifan]

Hope this isn't the last 360 / ps3 Dragon Ball Z game

We might see "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z 2" (kinda reminds me of Dragon Ball Z 2 aka Budokai 2) on the current-gen (2014), and then lastly they'll move to the next-gen.

Xbox 360 is trying to be the PS2 (large catalogue of games) of this gen and it's heading that way. Plus, I won't jump to PS4 right away more so when the PS4 Slim arrives so by that time there'll be plenty of games for the console. I'm avoiding Xbone.

[SSuperVegito]

i don't think it would be in next gen.....well i hope it stays for current for 2 more games....


also Namco Bandai Contract ends in 2015 since they got the rights in 2010 in a five-years term contract


so 2 more dbz games to go......

hopefully they would see that this company is doing real bad and move it to a better company....

I don't remember any news like this. Perhaps you're confusing it with FUNimation announcing a five-year license extension back in 2009?

Namco-Bandai certainly brought the Dragon Ball franchise back in-house for 2010, but that was only internationally. It's been them (originally Bandai, pre-merger) since the earliest days of Dragon Ball video games in the 1980s in Japan, and that likely isn't changing any time soon.

Nope...

and i forget the mention of north america...

look here: http://www.gamespot.com/news/namco-band ... ts-6212910

Namco Bandai Games America today announced that it has obtained the
exclusive North American rights to publish Dragon Ball games on all major consoles and handhelds, starting in January 2010. The deal--struck with rights-holders Toei Animation and FUNimation--will run for a five-year term.

[VegettoEX]

Huh. Holy crap. I'm wrong! Yep, I even have the actual press release here which specifically notes the timeframe...

All of my PS2-era games are labelled as both Bandai and Atari. I think that was just Europe though.

Weekly Shonen Jump scan.

[miguelnuva1]

So I noticed normal and ssj Goku are huge so even though SSJG Goku looks normal he is still thinner.

[pandamix]

I hope someone can translate the scan!
