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 :lol: . 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.

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.

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 :lol: ) :P

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

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.

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.

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

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.

"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.

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.

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

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

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

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...
