Re: The First PlayStation 4 Game Cometh

So, we have so far Saiyan, Freeza, and Cell arcs confirmed, with base & SS Goku, Saiyan arc Vegeta, Full Power Freeza, and Perfect Cell, along with an original character (Character Creator returns?), a high-tech city with a time-machine, and a Namek-like area with a temple.

Isn't it way to soon to announce so much of the story at once? I think they will have much more than the 4 DBZ arcs. Maybe more movies, DB, and/or GT? I wouldn't hold my breath for a big roster though. There also seems to be an original story on the mix as well, with similar things from DBO. Maybe it will be inspired by it?

And I hope that it will be Spike behind this game, but under the condition that the gameplay will be more like the Sparking!/Raging Blast games (I loved DBZ: Sparking! METEOR and DB: Raging Blast 2), and not like Ultimate Blast. But I'm positive that we won't see an UB game again, since I think that the fans made it very clear that it was a bad idea.

As for the graphics, they look great. But I'm not holding my breath for this game so far. Raging Blast, Burst Limit, Ultimate Blast, and Battle of Z were disappointments for me, and while Raging Blast 2 was an improvement over Raging Blast, and a fun game, it still felt inferior to Sparking! METEOR, in my opinion. DBZ: Sparking! METEOR, DBZ: Infinite World, and Super DBZ are still the best DB video games IMO, and they are all for PS2 for gods sake! Give us something good for once!
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.

I would imagine we will see the Buu saga to promote Kai. I don't think we will see DB, GT or the other DBZ movies, but it's possible.

The past of Dragon Ball Z yearly games based around Tenkaichi/RB:

Version 1: Beta
Version 2: Somewhat Decent
Version 3: Decent

It's how the Tenkaichi games were released for PlayStation 2 and year by year they improved here and there. Raging Blast 2 feels more like "Raging Blast 1.5" 'cause that was hardly a new game.

As for Budokai 1 it felt a game of its own, and then Budokai 2 & Budokai 3 in terms of gameplay they were pretty close but still it deserved to receive a new iteration to make things even better.

Oh boy! A new DBZ game? Probably developed by Spike this time around? Surely nothing can go wrong with this! Seriously, if the BoZ dev had, what, 3 years to make BoZ, there's no way they're the developers of this PS4 game.

With Spike's success from the last Generation? Please no, let's pray its not. Those models don't look like Spike Models from what I can tell... That Goku vs Freeza pic, very reminiscent of Burst Limit, but I doubt Dimps is in the picture this time around.

I'm calling it now,Burst limit 2 or a game by Dimps :p
EDIT: It kinda could be Dimps because look at the background in the picture with cell and goku, they look drawn like in most of Dimps DBZ games. Just a thought......

It can be from anyone. It could likely be Battle of Z 2 though.

Spike have done good with the series in bt1-3 but the reason they didn't with the last gen games was because of time so if they had at least 2 years to make this (RIGHT) then i can see us getting a good game plus its easier to make games for ps4 unlike ps3

I'm not sure how I feel about the cross-generation factor here, I mean doesn't that mean that the game will be limited to the hardware specs of the PS3 and 360?

Tenkaichi 1 was nothing more than a beta released for the public than an actual finished playable game, the Tenkaichi series only got moderately tolerable by Tenkaichi 2.

If there were to be a Tenkaichi HD Collection as some Tenkaichi fans want then it'd be with T2 and T3, as T1's garbage.

Battle of Z is quite addictive when played online against other players as the game was mostly done to be played in MP mode.

I've still not bought GTA V (got other things I've been wanting to buy first) but when I do I'll jump in to the online mode those custom tracks look ridiculously fun to play with others!
