Just because DBZ is DBZ doesn't mean it can't follow a similar system to SF. How about marvel? What makes it alright for them to be in such a game? If DBZ was to be in proper fighter format, it would probably work best similar to the Marvel vs Capcom games, given how flashy they are. Hyper DBZs delivering.

The people who wrote that text are pretty ridiculous though, how they expecting to perform quarter circle motions in a game like this? This isn't that kind of game, that's obvious. Ruining their credibility (whoever they are) right there.

Human , standard skills and good attacks ki energy Majin breed of Buu, tough guys with great attack power; Namekians as Piccolo, hard to peel, with ranged attacks; and saiyans , of course.
Wait, are humans and saiyans really going to be different races after all? o_O? Not like in DBO with Human with awakened saiyan blood?

Maybe? Probably? Hard to say right now. DBO had the Saiyan's blood diluted into the Earthling population, so the races were effectively the same (as most of us know. The English info dump the other day clearly said Earthlings, Namekians and Majin, and a mention of more races to be announced. Seeing how Xenoverse has pretty deep ties with DBO at this point, it wouldn't have been surprising for them to follow in the MMO's footsteps.

his V-Jump scan very clearly says Male Saiyans and Famale Saiyans though, so... *shrug*

Holy crap, i just read about the Character Creation announced by Dimps and now i'm hyped as fuck.
Good job, Dimps. You got me aboard the hype train.

This game is shaping to be extremely cool.
Hopefully they actually deliver, i want a decent DBZ game for my PS3.

PS: For the guy that said no to competitiveness in DBZ because it would be hard to learn to play...

Competitive =/= Complex

Just take a look at Mortal Kombat 9. It had a good competitive scene, and it was still easy to pick up and play casually.
I learned to play it casually after 20 minutes. And i had never played a MK game before.

For me it should be like this = Easy to learn, Hard and Satisfying to master.

I would love it if this game had a remix of 'Base of Tenkaichi' as it's opening, simply because I love that song, but I don't really see it happening. Be nice if some tributes to that opening video found their way into the opening animation though.

Someone fill me in on the soundtrack front for this game. Are we getting more of the same recycled English soundtrack for the stateside release, or is it going to have the same score as the Japanese release? Not sure if thats been covered yet.

This.

Bandai Namco would be shooting themselves if they used recycled music for this game.

Holy crap is that a relief. I almost went back to crossing my fingers for a custom soundtrack feature.

On 360 it is (for all games) and I'm glad since I can listen to DBZ BGMs while playing this or BL/RB2 (flows way better with RB2 than BL, tbh). As for PS3.. it's up to the developers.

Anyway, hope that by the end of 2014 they'll release a playable demo on 360/PS3/PS4/XO to boost up pre-orders (they did release for Battle of Z, after all) and allow people to familiarise how the game works, looks and sounds.

It works for all 360 games because the 360 had a 1 year head start on the PS3 and was able to patent the right to use custom music at all times. PS3 was able to do that as well for a time until the patent came down and it became dependent on the developer's permission (for example PS3 Minecraft, Virtual Fighter 5 Final Showdown, etc). I guess I still kinda hope for a custom soundtrack option, to play to my Budokai 3 soundtrack if anything.

I hate demos for people hacking into the game and leaking the game. I remember one hacker hack into the game and unlock everything. He pretty much was able to play the full game without buying it just by hacking.

You mean Battle of Z? He couldn't play the full game, he could only view what could be unlocked. For example, Beerus was in the menu, but he couldn't play as him.
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.

At the 4:30 mark he said "You can expect one of the...characters in this game"

Can anyone tell what he said before characters ?

Well, the interview was about how you can level up your character, which will unlock new skills for them. Also if their

Is demand from the fans they will add a PC version of the game.
"There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

Bamco thinks there is no interest in DBZ games for PC because people won't care about it, because there isn't a DBZ game on PC, because Bamco won't make it, because... GOD DAMMIT BANDAI NAMCO.

It was the same deal for UNS3 a while back, Bamco was saiyng that it was a risk move and look how it turned out.
