Nah. I may not be SUPER hyped about it, because I think it's best to keep my expectations low so that I'm either not disappointed with it (or parts of it anyway) or pleasantly surprised otherwise, but I am still excited for the game. Not only for the new team gameplay, but also because I want to see what is done with the story and what potential what-ifs might have. They may give me ideas for my own personal take on the series.
Same here.

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.

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.

I'm not super hype up for the game, but I still plan to play it. I'm going to wait for the reviews before I pay $60 on it. i don't think the game will be as bad as Ultimate Blast or any of the RB games.

Jay, it's hard to know when he's being serious and when he's just trolling. This for example it's obviously an example of him trying to be funny.

Budokai 3 & Infinite World for the PS2 look great but they're both in SD, so they'd still be inferior to this game's graphics due to being in HD.
:? Totally serious and not trying to be funny. The graphics ARE not good...and there ARE PS1 games with better graphics...

Metal Gear Solid has some of the best looking graphics on the PS1 and not even that looks as good as Battle of Z. You must be crazy if you think a game from the 90's and early 2000's looks better then a 2013 video game.

Has anyone else noticed that since Hulkty got reported from the Official Facebook Page he has done nothing but repeatedly post about how crap this game is?

I know this is off-topic but just an observation, I can see no other reason to post ridiculous statements like you are doing, saying that Metal Gear Solid on the PSOne has better graphics,

Other things include:
hulkty wrote:There you go! LOL!! :lol:
You want what-if characters? Fine!
Every character in the game has Kaio-Ken and/or SSjGod since hardly anyone can tell the difference on a game. HAHAHAHA!!!! :lol:

Seriously...the ONLY worthwhile things so far are running and SSjGod... that's it...
I haven't said anything for a while but it does seem rather unnecessary.

First two links are from the PS2 and as much as I love Metal Gear, they don't compare in that state from both the resolution to the polycount and to the texture resolution.

That last one...I don't even, dude.

I'm most definitely looking forward to this game as it offers something new, and I can't wait to try it out for myself. :)

With the 360/PS3 coming to the end of its life (2015-ish) they should develop this game to newer systems too, and even the PC because NARUTO ULTIMATE STORM 3 FULL BURST will be available on Steam so I don't see why they'd continue to refuse the PC platform.

On the plus side the graphics would be maxed out, infinite mods and always playable online so wherever you'd look it'd just be advantages.

It's a shame that this game is going to be on PS Vita because not many really have it to make it worth releasing for such portable console. 3DS would've been better 'cause so far it's definitely the portable system with games for everyone.

I don't know if you guys ever played Naruto Ultimate Ninja games, but this game reminds me oh how Ultimate Ninja 1-3 on PS2 graphic wise. It's better graphics of course, but very reminiscent of Ultimate Ninja.

People in this thread are complaining about the game's visuals as it is. For this to run on 3DS it would have to be a game designed for 3DS and ported to PS3/360/Vita because the 3DS can't handle a downport of this.

Yes, because no PS1 games, neither PS2 games, have better graphics than Battle of Z. Maybe you're on acids, hulkty.
