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

[TheGmGoken]

If that were true, then we'd be stuck to SNES graphics which barely look anything like the anime/manga, so yeah, the graphics do matter.

I didn't mean for gaming companies -_-. I meant for some gamers Graphics doesn't mean shit. I'm one of those players. I thought that was implied I was talking about the players. Most people complain about the lack of boobs rather than graphics.

Wii/PS2 can be played in HD via computer, just make sure the PC has the requirements needed.

I have dolphin. I know this already. NOT EVERYONE PLAYS ON AN EMULATOR. I mean regular consoles. Revenge of King Piccolo was Burst limits graphics but not HD. Why would I even compare PC Emulator graphics to 480p Graphics that the Console was meant for. That's just dumb(NOT CALLING YOU DUMB)

Why SSJGod Gokuh isn't skinny? God, is so hard to do? -.-

Most likely cause it looks weird and stupid . Plus it's easier to just use a in-game model than make a new one

I wish they didn't have to though. I like how cute ssjg Goku is.

Then star at your avatar all day xD.

I'm still not all that impressed. I'm still seeing a severe lack of options gameplay-wise. Seriously, this looks BT1 restrictive.

Give them time. Through I admit that "Catch" button where you press Triangle is going to piss me off so much cause it's going be annoying I already got annoyed from looking at it in gameplay.

Just like Kid Boo getting torn into infinite pieces? Right, that's what I want as well, but I don't think they're ever going to make it like that because then the rating would be different I conjecture.

Don't see how that effects the rating. I've seen games do similar things.

[InfernalVegito]

Probably because it's quite a brutal and gory depiction? Let's not forget that Dragon Ball games are not really targated at adults, else they could make these games extremely bloody just like the show in certain parts.
Aside from the programming, I presume that's also why there's never Future Gohan with just one arm.

Although, Infinite World had Kid Boo being vaporized in the cutscene very shortly.

[omegalucas]

My only pet peeve is that the models look kind of clunky/stubby, and the way Goku flies forward when he isn't dashing looks awkward (with his hands down by his side) and kind of stiff.
If he had one of his legs up and his hands in a power-up looking pose while drifting forward he would probably look pretty badass and would surely complement his movement when he takes off flying full blast.

My only complaint so far. As you say, the regular non-dashing animation from Tenkaichi/Raging Blast would look better instead for "casual flying".
That and Gohan's eyes (they look too thin or too centered for me )

Aw, it's the cheap sounding synthesized Kikuchi score again. Why don't they just use the original like Zenkai Battle Royal?

I like it. Probably because I have been playing with the regular one in Raging Blast from the HDD, this one feels so refreshing!

What terrible flaws? U mean highest selling dbz game and second only to budokai 3 and that is still debated.

Source?

Don't give me Wikipedia/VGChartz because they're both bs.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 3 million

1.42 million in Japan[5]
1.01 million in the US[4]
570,000 in the UK[30]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_be ... ideo_games


Budokai 1-3 are next and then Tenkaichi 2. And this is just the PS2 sales.

I hope to see Inside of Buu's body return for a stage. I think it could be a fun arena to fight in like you can knock people into Buu's stomach acid and you can slowly lose heath while fighting in the acid.

[vince90x]

I gotta admit that 2nd gameplay video makes it look A LOT better but still doesn't help that choppy gameplay. I think they should use more vibrant colors or something.

[JulieYBM]

Aw, it's the cheap sounding synthesized Kikuchi score again. Why don't they just use the original like Zenkai Battle Royal?

I'm thinking that Namco Bandai does not want to pay for the rights. Perhaps Bandai thinks the synthesized pieces are more 'modern', too?

[GogetaSSJ2]

So I just want to check, does Battle of Z have an official release date yet? Any recent announcement made?

It's hard to rely on Wikipedia and its sources when they don't provide that same info any more, or ever. Let's just assume it did and move on.

No official release date yet.

[dbboxkaifan]

"COMING THIS WINTER"

This is as closest as we'll get to an official release date. Zavvi/TheHut have a release date but that might not be the actual one, Amazon has it for 2014... lol.

The game seems to play fairly simply, which I guess is what they were going for as this is one of those "Battle Royale"-type fighting games. It's not my cup of tea, but I could see myself getting some fun out of 3-on-3 battles, which we haven't seen since Legends (correct me if I'm wrong). 1-on-1 fights would therefore be pretty dull, so the only way to play against other people would be to go online (for me, at least). Overall, it seems like a decent game, but I probably won't be getting it as there are so many other already-released games I want to play/replay, including some DBZ ones. However, I can give it credit for taking the series in a slightly different direction for home consoles. Maybe it's worth getting for that reason. I'll give it time.

[Xeogran]

I hope this won't be a troll and we will see Birus, Uis and MAYBE BoG Story Mode Saga. It would suck if the only character from the movie we'd get was SSJ God.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I hope this won't be a troll and we will see Birus, Uis and MAYBE BoG Story Mode Saga.

Why maybe BoG story? If we get all characters (SSG Goku, Beers, Whis), we will get their story as well.

[Insertclevername]

It'll be interesting what kind of move set they'll give Uis since there isn't much to go on.

[TheMightyOzaru]

He'll probably just get stock attacks, save his ultimate.

[Thanos]

It'll be interesting what kind of move set they'll give Uis since there isn't much to go on.

Sorry, but am I missing a confirmation of Birus/Uis? Or is this just a presumption based on Super Saiyan God Goku? It's a fair one to make, I'm just making sure I didn't miss something.

Right now, it's just hypotheticals. The French interview conducted the other day said that they have included Super Saiyan God Goku, but are still discussing if they should include other elements from Battle of Gods.

You have already announced that Goku's Super Saiyan God transformation, from the recent movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, is in the game. Will you incorporate other elements from this film?
Battle of Gods (released in Japanese theaters in March 2013, Editor's note) is the first DBZ movie to be released in Japan in nearly twenty years and it worked very well. Super Saiyan God Goku (a character from the film) is a very powerful and famous person. We are currently considering the possibility of including other elements of the film in the game. Maybe a little later, you will see things from the film in the game...

[Insertclevername]

Whoops! I was only speaking hypothetical. ^_^''
