Seeing that your underage then you might end up being banned soon. Also the new images look cool. I'm still debating if I will pre-order it or not. I need to see more gameplay footage first.

Eh, thats still ugly to me. IDK I just can't get with these graphics so far, I mean sometimes the stages (from what little we've seen of them) look pretty good and other times everything just looks ugly as all hell.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Well...this site says "COMING THIS WINTER" and "© BIRD STUDIO/SHUEISHA, TOEI ANIMATION Game © 2013 NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc" at the bottom, so... It's safe to assume that we'll get it this fall... not that I had any doubts.

Interview about the game. Oh and just so you guys know,there is officially no split screen. For anyone who doesn't understand the language, use google translate or some other program to understand the interview. Though the interview also confirms that this game wont be playable at the expo. The guy does confirm several what if's.

Does that mean that we can't play multi-player off-line? Please tell me no...

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.

Is it possible to play co-op on one console?
To play with other players, each player must have its own console. The reason for this is that we want the players to get the best graphics possible, in full screen. Online, up to four players can form a team and eight players can take part in the Battle mode Warrior. Regarding the PS Vita, if you and a friend each have a Vita, you can gather in one place and play via ad hoc connection. That's all we can say about it for now.

So, the game is pretty much for those who don't have a life and only have Internet friends. Fucking great, I don't think I care much about this "game" anymore.

Split-screen
To play with other players, each player must have its own console. The reason for this is that we want the players to get the best graphics possible, in full screen.
Arcs & Characters Included
For now, we just unveiled the Frieza saga. So you can play as the characters present in this saga. We can not yet speak of the sagas of Cell and Buu, but people can expect to get news about this soon. We can not give you the exact number of characters that will be in the game so stay tuned information we will contact you soon.
Animated Bonus Film
I know people like anime and they want to see in games. For the moment, we have very serious discussions with rights holders. I'm not sure there will be a complete animated film, but I know that everyone, including me, wants to see a new animated introduction sequence. Stay tuned.
Well, disappointing news and nothing about a release of a demo.

So yeah.. If you want to play against a friend make sure he has his own 360/PS3 or he'll have to buy it in addition to the game. For me this isn't an issue because I don't have anyone locally to play against with.

Wait, wait...you can't do multiplayer unless you're online? Well...that's...ugh. *sighs*

I'm still interested in the game, as most of my time playing DBZ games has been just me playing it myself anyway, but not being able to just pop it in and have a match with my girlfriend, is pretty disappointing just the same. Bleh.

That's a pretty harsh thing to say, while I do see how a lack of offline multiplayer is inconvenient.

No offline multiplayer is stupid. Was looking forward to enjoying this with some of my actual friends.

Don't really understand the point, but okay. Hopefully they'll add this basic feature to the game if enough people ask.

Interesting, an alternate costume for Piccolo with either his colors from Movies 8 and 9 or his actual manga colors (can't be sure, I can't really see if the arms are pink or skin-colored).

Also, like Burst Limit, we have an white-eyed Kuririn :D

BTW, is it me or the English in that website is a bit... I dunno, weak. "Vegeta's Great Ape form. After his pride was hardly hurted with Goku's battle, he created artifical Moon and transformed into Great Ape."

At least they confirmed by not confirming Cell & Boo arc. Not that I wasn't expecting those.
