Maybe Scamco should give this Tenkaichi obessesion a break and go back to Burst limit where gameplay was actually functional instead of all these gimmicks and NinjaStorm envy. DBZ simulators are just crap.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

While this theory is possible which would you prefer? Personally i would rather get the full original map with split screen and i do not see why we need to cram together like this. What's your opinion?
Actually I think both could be great, dependent on execution. I fancy the idea of both. And I'm kind of becoming more okay with this lack of split screen.

I would enjoy the lack of split-screen if it wasn't in favour of one player, which if the gameplays we are getting are local, it totally is.

That needs to die quickly. There is no way Dimps made a game where the local multiplayer is set where only player 1 can do anything. The game is in Alpha, and we don't know the details of what we've seen so far.

The Alpha gameplay already looks great. The finished product will be awesome. I can't think of one negative we've seen so far. Everyone has to stop overreacting to speculation.

On the last page. Also, if I can still play well despite being deep in the background, I think lack of split screen is fine. But right now, it looks like the screen is only in favor of player 1. They'll be working on that I'm sure.

Your preacher to the choir here. I want the screen thing to end up looking better then what I'm picturing in my head but if the worst case scenario does happen then the trend will hold. I want this game to be the Budokai 3/Tenkaichi 3 killer.

I don't think so. I've read along with this thread since it's inception, and I don't remember seeing that anywhere on here. Though I could have missed it. If I did, my bad.

The matchup character wise is the same, but Goku doesn't go Super Saiyan in his match with Vegeta, and instead goes Kaioken. Goku and Cell's fight is also different.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind. I had only seen the initial post, not the edited one. Apologies.

My bad. Just saw it elsewhere for the first time and I didn't remember seeing it here. Had I seen an interview link, I would have clicked it, so I must've missed it.

Or I'm losing my mind.

I really feel split screen is an important component to include here. All otherwise the game looks great so far. The visual aspect can be hard to follow if both players screens are cramed or combined.

They most probably figured that it would be better to demo the game via online or something so that each character has his own screen to make it easier and better for us to view. If they showed the gameplay using screen it would only benefitting on letting us know that it is there, but it would be harder to analyse the game.

If there actually isn't split screen there you can better believe that there is no local multiplayer, which I'm really doubting.
Will the screen be divided ?
No. You can play on the same TV and the screen won’t be divided.

Whaaaat? You're not serious, is this interview legit? =O LOOOOL Sorry, I don't know what to say, I'm hoping the interviewer or interviewee just got this wrong, but if they haven't...

I think Namco Bandai doesn't like DB fans

Oh crap.....It might just be my eyes playing tricks, but the gameplay in the Kaio-Ken Goku Vs. Vegeta fight looked like shit. :(

Yeah, what the point of transforming or using Kaiken if the character's attacks are the same?!
