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

[Silkman3003]

If they put a character creation, which they won't, they would have to put custom movesets and create a move just like on the wwe games. They'll never make a perfect DB game

No such thing as a perfect game.

Goku's hair doesn't make sense in 3D, so it's hard to recreate in general.
Announcerguy had a really good comic that illustrated it from a long while back.

EDIT: Here it is

That said, the shading in the BOZ screenshot makes it look like he's got nostrils.

I still wonder what if's will we be seeing? So far we see Goku fighting Vegeta, Nappa, Radditz and Saibamen which could be a what if story of Vegeta, Nappa going down to Earth along with Radditz.

I just hope the game doesn't have create a character

Why not? A good create-a-character mode is something we still really need (at least IMO) in a DBZ game. I can see not wanting another travesty like Ultimate Tenkaichi's mode was, but...

Character creator for DBZ is not needed. It'll be nice icing on cake but it's really not needed. We might get a good roster.

WWE games character creator is good for a sport game.

[Saiga]

None of the content is needed, but a character creator is definitely the feature I'm hoping for most.

Stop taking steps back.

Yeah that one could be interesting. Maybe Raditz surrendered after the first fight with Goku and Piccolo.

Even more excited for this game now!

[TheGmGoken]

I'm not. Chaarcter creation is really not needed. Sometimes going backwards is good. Seriously I need a good 5 reasons on why we need creator a character.

I don't think we're getting any reasons like that, I expect it'll just be like SSW2 where the deviations from the canon story aren't treated as what-ifs but just acting like it's the normal story.

I'm not. Chaarcter creation is really not needed. Sometimes going backwards is good. Seriously I need a good 5 reasons on why we need creator a character.

1. Possible new story mode.

2. Helps fan fiction writers.

3. Could potentially increase the roster if done right.

4. Adds new characters to the game.

5. Increases replay value.

Most likely we will lose the character creator but that's a couple points against the new game now, no 1 vs 1 no local multiplier and now character creator.

I guess a good character creator would need to go on a Tenkachi 4 or RB 3 anyway.

1. Story mode most likely going to be half ass with Creator of a character. Unless it's online free roam. Something this game could do with Gameplay.

2. They don't give a damn about fan fics. Plus people just mod these days which are faster than creating a character. It's also more replay value.

3. I don't count Character Creations as roster spots.

4. The same as Number 3.

5. See Number 2.

Now give me some more reasons please.

[Saiga]

There's no point giving you reasons because you'll make up whatever you have to in order to discount them. I don't see why you could be so adamantly against an optional system that doesn't detract from the game at all.

I won't make up a reason to discount them. IF they're good reasons. For example many other games with Character a creator have perks to go along. Unless they're perks with it. I don't see the need for it.

If this game had a character creator for the main story mode in which it interwines or merges with the original storyline of Dragon Ball,Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT then it would be fine (just like Dragon Ball online ) I don't want a seperate story for created character (I'm looking at you, ultimate tenkaichi)

That's a great reason. It should be like that but free roam IMO. The gameplay so far would look great as free roam game

Today's the last day of Japan Expo so fingers crossed they reveal new information, yesterday apparently they didn't state anything (or it just isn't available online).

Namco Bandai has been posting updates about Saint Seiya: Brave Soldiers (Dev: Dimps), One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 (Dev: Omega Force) and One Piece: Romance Dawn (Dev: To be announced).

Just what the hell Namco Bandai they know the fanbase wants new details and aren't even posting anything on their Dragon Ball Z - Games Facebook page.

[Big Momma]

A good CaC mode would be awesome, but that development time could be spent bettering other aspects of the game.



(Also, how would that help Fanfic writers? They're known for having great imagination already...I doubt a created character in this game, or any story with it, would bring any new ideas...)

It's a role-playing thing. Playing as a character you created could help you get more immersed in the game, and possibly help come up with new ideas.

Of course, that's only if it's done right.

Now give me some more reasons please.

1 It's still better than the exact same story every time like recent games.

2. Not everyone mods. Mods are more common on pc than consoles. Yes people do mod console games but it's not as high as those that don't.

3. You don't have to. I don't count "trophies" and "achievements" as worthwhile. It'll still be. Games with "Create a" feature have a massive market. E.g WWE games theres 1000s made, too many to list. Racers and karts in Modnation racers , in LBP has 8 Million Community-Created Levels. Spore has loads , sims , Mortal Kombat: Armageddon , Soulcalibur and more! People love having it and adding people they want or were unable to be it.

4 The same as Number 3.

5 Replay Value is increased with extra features. Creating fighters , leaderboards , Online multiplayer ect,... even if you do not enjoy it enough do. It adds to the amount of potential buys. More sales = better sequel.

Cooler, Majin Buu and others confirmed. (Like we didn't know ) Along with other important and interesting information!

I guess these were taken at the convention today maybe? Very different from the setup of the last presentation that Treevax recorded.
If Cooler is confirmed, it's safe to assume we will see various other movie villains as well!
