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

[dbboxkaifan]

A sequel that brings back split screen, better graphics and transformations is only going to happen if that sequel is on a next-gen system.
The current gen doesn't have the ability to display 4 VS 4 battles with those specifications - which is exactly why they had to sacrifice them for their concept.

So if you want these problems to be solved, you have to wait for either a sequel to Battle of Z on the next-gen, or a new series with a new gameplay/concept on the current gen.
But a Battle of Z 2 on the current gen would likely not solve any of the currently unpopular issues, except maybe allowing "1 on 1" split screen battles which is something actually possible on the current gen.

If it continues to do so badly as it's doing right now it'll bomb and that means no sequel.

How hard is it to get a proper model of Super Vegito? Just take Dimps or Spike's sample and replicate that. This looks bad, not awful.

[Silkman3003]

lol that model is painful to look at.

[Nexic_Breaker_D]

A model like the ones we've been getting this generation definitely have too high a poly count for a fighter with 8 players to work properly. We could barely get more than 3 characters on screen simultaneously for a cutscene in RB/UT. The textures could be better tho, everything looks stretched on the model.




Also, his vest has an undershirt with the same color.

Did you play Battle of Z?

Did you? I think that there is nice weather outside at 10 pm, so let's go fishing

I understand, that I can't judge something before I try it, but there is this formula based on experience from past. I've played 5 games from Art Dink and they are studio not different from Spike when working on some series of titles.
Nothing outstanding, only average product based on popular franchise to milk some money not by great gameplay, but by the name.
I too hope, that all the cons will be repaired or rather, the pros will be bigger to take out the cons.

Dude you wrote "From what I saw and played, their developing history is indeed simmilar to Spike."...

Why does wikipedia Say that it is confirmed to release on 28/1/14?

I would rather this game have poorish graphics than a bad frame rate; this gen is really reaching its limits now and Naruto Storm 3 has really bad lag offline when things get hectic, even though it mainly has only 2 people onscreen.

[miguelnuva1]

So where do we pre order to get Vegito and Bardock.

Graphically, I mean, it's console game what on earth are you expecting? The hardware is ancient now.

You've got bigger worlds and 4+ players on screen at any given time. They're not pre-determined movements, they're going to be changing and adapting depending on what you do. You can't expect things like that as well as high res textures if you want a frame rate of at least 30.

BUT, with that being said, the character models and general level design are inexcusably horrific. It's tough to take 2D characters into the 3D world but when it's been done better in the past, there's little reason not to at least reach that standard.

The only reason I can think of comes back to the technical problems. Perhaps better rendered models contained too high a poly count and had to be significantly altered to achieve these big battles they've got planned.

[dbboxkaifan]

The cover actually looks a lot better than the actual game, that'll sell the game despite its poor quality (i.e, gameplay).

Remember The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct? Yeah.

I'm sorry, but what is this madness:

Wow... That looks like a bunch of characters pasted onto a cover... Not good at all.

I'm sorry, but what is this madness:

It' shiiiiiiny Trunks!

*not counting the unrevealed*

Spike wasted slots for characters which would've fit under one, in this game it's worse, they're all in-game characters without transformations at any moment.

For people saying that it's impossible, imagine this way: 3 of your buddies fight the enemy and you'd evolve/transform there, that wasn't hard.

Why the crap does Ssj Trunks have his base hair? Also, let me guess... No Ssj2 Vegeta ?
