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

[miguelnuva1]

Another negative to add to the list people have for the game.

If this is what we get for two years of development then I'll take then Tenkaichi or Budokai 4 from Spike or dimps and 1 year of development. I played Budokai 3 HD and Burst limit the other day and forgot how fun Budokai use to be, I'd like to see Burst Limit 2 or Budokai 4 with a huge roster or even a Tenkaichi 4 in HD with a huge roster and character creator.

I'll still get the game to try it out but it will not be a day 1 purchase anymore for me.

Those that say I'm hating on the game no I'm not by the way, maybe we did need something new and maybe we did get too many previous games but Budokai and Tenkaichi were fine for me and new stages, new characters and what ifs were really all I feel were needed. A story like infinite world with the Tenkaichi roster and Budokai 3 traveling in story would have been great to me.

I'd rather eat the same old meal the tasted good and wasn't really bad then get a longer prepared dinner that turned out bad. Maybe BOZ will prove me wrong but this is starting to look like a companion game like UT.

Buy it to play for the 4 vs 4 and the BOG characters but keep another DBZ game as well.

I'd preferably wait for somebody who knows Japanese (Kei, Herms, maybe) to verify how correct is that translation.

[Big Momma]

That's somewhat how I feel. Even if the game isn't full on content, if its fun to play I'm good with that. Plus, its a still something new. Any content they fall behind on with thus game, they'll make up for in later games.



Although this Saiyan-Freeza business is bullocks.

[enjyu123]

They are saying the story mode is based on the saiyan saga but, equally with the freeza saga. .

[TheGmGoken]

Did they explain why they didn't show Cell arc or BoO Arc yet?

They probably can't talk about those arcs, but they're in the game..Well at least Cell Games Arena is a playable stage and Majin Buu is in the game..

And the game will be released next year, so they don't have any rush to show all the content right now.

There is nothing to confirm that. They don't have an official date besides "Winter". It could still be a Christmas release, or in early 2014 while still within the fiscal year. That said, they mentioned in one of the interviews that they would be revealing all the characters sometime in the next two months, and it's already been one since that statement was made. DBZ Games are usually released shortly before or after all the playable characters are made known, because there isn't much else to use for marketing afterwards.

From what we are told so far, my guess is that we will see Cell & Boo arc (along with BoG probably), and some major characters from GT.

I doubt BoG to be honest. Maybe a Cameo at the end of the game. But I doubt the story itself will be made. Only reason being they don't want to spoil the movie before it come out.

It's done its rounds in Japan though, so I don't think they'll really care.

Ben 10 Omniverse 2 -- PS9/Xbox Rotation, November 26, 2321

What's a PS 9? Plus don't UK normally get a later release date?

[Insertclevername]

It's a joke.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

Wait isn't the Saiyan-Freeza already bullshit based on the fact that they're showing off Super Saiyan God Goku? Hell the game is called Battle of Z which seems to be a tongue-in-cheek nod to Battle of the Gods. That seems to imply that characters from the Cell and Buu saga will be included. Something seems like it was lost in translation; something along the lines of only the Saiyan-Freeza arc being shown.

No-one is saying that there were only Saiyan-Freeza characters, but Saiyan-Freeza in the story mode. We've already seen characters from later arcs.

[Insertclevername]

Eh, I don't think it'll just be Saiyan-Freeza. The assets from the other arcs would already be there, it seems stupid not to script the battles for the later arcs; and it's not like they're running on little time.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

As long as the roster isn't effected by the story, I wouldn't mind too much. And with all the liberties they'll be taking with the story, it might be kind of fun. Still I really feel like something is lost in translation.

To be fair, there is a distinct possibility that there was something not being conveyed correctly. In the Interview with Treevax/Nostal (I think that was the right one), they mentioned that they weren't ready to discuss the Cell and Buu Arcs, as they had just revealed the Freeza Arc's inclusion, beyond the Saiyan Arc for the debut. You could take that either way; they are included and will be revealed later, or we don't really want to talk about that because it won't be covered in the story.

Still, it would seem kinda strange that we have confirmation of a lot of characters from outside the Saiyan and Freeza Arcs (like Buu, Goten and Bardock), but they wouldn't bother to add their respective arcs to the story and instead focus on what-ifs that use them (like the big "what if something special happened to the Saiyans", or Goku versus his family members, etc).

[KentalSSJ6]

I wouldn't be surprised if the BOG portion of this game would be short, like the what if fusion battle we got in Raging Blast 1. Maybe 3 fights consisting of SSJ3 Goku VS Bills, SSJG Goku VS Bills, then SSJ Goku post SSJG VS Bills.

Personally I'm much more interested in hearing any info about GT. Id absolutely love a SSJ4 VS SSJG what if battle in the game. At the least they could do GT DLC but id rather have the game do well and warrant an actual GT sequel. I'm sure the ability to change the story in Battle of Z would sit well in a GT sequel, giving fans the ability to change parts they dont like
