The Created Character under the Raditz image is wearing Bulma's/Goku's/Krillin's space suit :o .

And that Female Boo image is one of the most badass things I've seen in a DB game in years... Toki Toki city sounds like a Pokemon town lol.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Dimps has done it again. Easily the best character creator we've seen so far if not for DBO. :clap:

I haven't been following news on this game , do we have rough idea when the release date might be? I assume Dec 14 is a place holder date.

I don't think a release date has been given out yet.

That would put the icing on the cake for this game. That's an immediate pre order quality reveal... If the character creation didn't beat it to the punch. Lol

My need for a PS3 just skyrocketed again. AHHHHH. Really, really hope this game manages to keep it together better than Ultimate Tenkaichi did apparently, because I have been waiting for an awesome DBZ game with a character creator for a long, long time.

So, the post mentions a closed beta for the game. I really hope that is also for last-gen consoles. I'd love to try to get in.

Wow, seems Dimps is definitely delivering and tackling complaints from past games. Color me excited :D
Here's hoping they actually deliver on the gameplay, as well.

They do say "Earthling, Majin, and Namekian races to name a few" so there's a chance that they could mix the two extra races in DB Heroes, which would be great.

I do hope they make it possible for the "Earthlings"/part Saiyans to transform past Super Saiyan 1, unlike in DBO. (Possibly customizing the look of each transformation)

EDIT: Toki Toki City? Really? Okay then :lol:

Finally!! I can do a female character again!! YES! :mrgreen: !!!!

I was sure the "mysterious warrior" was going to be customization and it certainly had DBO influences in the plot, but all these races are straight from the game!! I'm so happy! Hahahaha, I'm going to try to recreate my character again (my avatar here). 8)

I'm going to scream if we also get freeza's race and androids. :lol:

This might be me reading too much into it, but I can't help but notice that one screenshot of a character facing off with Nappa. It looks kind of like they're throwing a Kienzan at him...maybe part of the interacting with the past is the ability to learn techniques from other characters and incorporate them into your characters? If so, I'll definitely be hitting up Kuririn for that one. :mrgreen:

My hype for the game went up a little bit now. I want to see more gameplay footage soon.

I haven't been hype up for the game since we haven't had new info for a while. I just want to see some gameplay footage for once!

January 2015 is my best bet. I think we are back to yearly DBZ games again now.

This game is looking really good. I hope it comes to Wii U as well, or else I may have to save up for a PS4. The Wii U has been out-selling the Xbox One for like over 2 months straight, so hopefully they add a Wii U version.

Hmm, on observation it seems that the CaC's wearing only full outfits. I pray to god that is not the case. That would be insanely stupid and limiting if you couldn't give them different pants or different top from the outfit It already looks to provide at least the 8-9 basic essential customization options

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.

I was expecting the bare minimum as far as CaC went, for a while I even believed that tacky Gohan lookalike was all we were going to get. I'm just completely blown away right now. Dimps has given us a brand new story, awesome graphics, a fighting system with potential for decent amount of depth, and now a freaking CaC with multiple races and gender selection. I think I'm starting to understand the Dimps love now. These guys. These guys, man! Where were they?!

Wow, Goku is also barefoot fighting
Wasn't Goku barefoot fighting Raditz for the last 4 games?
