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

[Xeogran]

So this interview pretty much...confirms Birus. So happy, although i would be even more if Uis was there =D
The movie was famous and it's the best time to include the newest "villains". Glad they're working on it.

The interview neither confirm Beers, nor it denies his possible inclusion.
Why are taking this as a confirmation he's in the game?!!

They'd be missing a huge opportunity, marketing-wise, to not include at least a story aspect in the game that reflects Battle of Gods. Including Super Saiyan God Goku wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to just throw him in there without context. Now, it's possible that he could have a special role for the game (much like Super Saiyan 4 Goku did in Budokai 3), but I doubt they'd do that based on this "Maybe a little later, you will see things from the film in the game..." I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but to me that's game developer speak for, "Yeah, it'll be in there, but you just have to wait." He probably wouldn't say this if it weren't true. But that's just my assumption. Take it or leave it. I could be wrong, but, why would he get our hopes up?

And I can honestly say that, even if I hadn't already decided that I'm getting the game and it didn't look that good, I would probably have still gotten it with the confirmation of Birus/Uis/BoG story. Just sayin'.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I dunno. The other questions discussing characters and what-ifs seemed more like developer speak for "you'll see it, just wait". The Battle of Gods one seems more like "we want to, we're trying, but we'll have to wait and see"...kinda like the question about new animation for the game. I do agree they would be missing out on a great opportunity though, but it's possible that Super Saiyan God Goku may just be related to this new what-if or something...

Will the game have alternative scenarios, similar to what has been proposed in previous DBZ games?
We have come up with something similar to the alternative histories of previous DBZ games. It will involve the Saiyan race and tell what would have happened if something "special happened". But I can not tell you exactly what it is yet. There will be more information about it later.

How many characters are present in Battle of Z?
For now, we just unveiled the Frieza Arc. So you can play as the characters present in this saga. We can not yet speak of the Cell and Buu Arcs, 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, but stay tuned for information. We will contact you soon.

Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2 and Dragon Ball Z for Kinect both offered a bonus animated episode. Will Battle of Z have one too?
I know people like anime and they want to see it in the games. For the moment, we have very serious discussions with rights holders. I'm not sure if there will be a complete animated film, but I know that everyone, including me, wants to see a new animated introduction sequence. Stay tuned.

[Insertclevername]

It seems like they're pushing for an animated intro, at least.

[Hellspawn28]

I'm looking forward who will voice Birus and Uis in English.

[Ryuman]

Well, Beers got into Heroes and Zenkai, so I wouldn't be too worried. Whis is more up in the air, I'd say.

[vince90x]

Oh. Wow! An animated intro... Isn't every intro animated?

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Oh. Wow! An animated intro... Isn't every intro animated?

Nope. The games that got animated intro are only 7:

• Dragon Ball: Final Bout
• Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22
• Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden
• Dragon Ball Z: The Grand Legend of Dragon Ball
• Dragon Ball Z 2
• Dragon Ball Z 3
• Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast

[Chuquita]

I'd be up for a new 2-D intro, they're always fun to watch.

[omegalucas]

• Dragon Ball: Final Bout
• Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22
• Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butoden
• Dragon Ball Z: The Grand Legend of Dragon Ball
• Dragon Ball Z 2
• Dragon Ball Z 3
• Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast

I think he's pointing out that even a 3D intro is animated as well (the models won't move by themselves, somebody has to animate them ), that's what he meant.

- Goten confirmed

- They said they'll announce all playable characters in the next two months

- DLC confirmed.. I think? Look around 23:30
Btw does anyone here know what the guy said at the end? The question the guy asked him was "Will we have a budokai style game in the future" or something like that and i didn't catch the answer

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Probably just had not only Bardock and Goten confirmed, but Chi Chi ruled out and strong hints at Birus and probably Whis.
Sabat did say they were working on casting voices, plural, for characters from the new movie. Super Saiyan God Goku is just Goku, so who else would need to be cast? The only other new characters that would be plausible fighters are Birus and Whis...

Btw does anyone here know what the guy said at the end? The question the guy asked him was "Will we have a budokai style game in the future" or something like that and i didn't catch the answer

"This game will be much better than the Budokai style...", I think.

[Big Momma]

I think he asked if we'd ever get another Budokai-Style game, and the answer was "This game will be better than Budokai", I believe.

They never said they weren't, they just said that they weren't talking about it yet at the time. Calm down and wait to see how it pans out man. ^_^;

Eh? What exactly does he say that kinda hints at it?

[Kamiccolo9]

The first person who can confirm for me that Goten is in the game will get a special present.


~Da Lemmy

This is the closest and best I can do:

This was posted earlier in the thread. It would seem to indicate that the Buu Arc is being covered.

Did you not watch the videos before having a hissy fit? lol Fat Buu was literally seen in in-game screenshots in the past two videos posted, Ultimate Gohan's game model is on the mode selection screen and Sabat mentioned that they were recording lines for all of Goku's family, from Bardock to Goten. We're getting the Buu arc.
