Raging Blast 2 had a good chunk of exclusive pre-order DLC and most of us never tried them out due to being limited to the LE edition, plus they were never sold separately. I bought the LE of RB2 a while ago but decided to keep the DLC code unused. Truthfully, I only got it for the Goku cel but I still kept the rest (it's a cool looking slipcover) and it fits right there with RB1 LE too.
I agree RB2 had great pre-order outfit color changes. I got the Trunks with sword And Broly code.... Sadly I did not get the rest of them. I really wanted the Gogeta outfit.

Dat glorious first edition portuguese GT VHS, so glad I didn't sell my set after all these years.

Also, I'm with Super Saiyan Luffy, all this TGS and Beta footage has made me too much excited for this guy to not buy it on day 1. With Battle of Z it was the oposite as I only wanted to buy it after seeing LordMoonstone's videos (which was like, 2 months after the game released).

If you are able to, could you give me a link to that gameplay I wanna see God Goku's Dogi. :D

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."

If Super Saiyan God Goku that's another reason to get hyped but this time around he won't be overused by gamers because with the variety of custom characters to make they'll rather make their own than use an already made character.

Basically every TGS video featuring Goku. It's not his Godku outfit, it's just his normal form Battle of Gods dogi. Buu Arc with the Go symbol added. Doesn't have the Godku boots or vibrant colors.

The gameplay from that video looks so smooth, fast and fluid.

I sure hope the game runs at 60fps and in 1080p (XO might get it in 900p :P).

Most people that want a Budokai style game usually imply they want something next to Burst Limit with the things it left out from Budokai. Not exactly a Budokai 4. People who want a BT4 or RB3 on the other hand, want an exact sequel even regardless of this game basically giving us a better incarnation of RB's generic concept. If were getting a better 3D game of a similar if not more innovative engine, it basically cancels out any logical need there is for a RB3 or a BoZ2. Instead of trying to build on the new, they want to just scrap it and go back to the old then start over...smh. If there was a 2D Xenvoverse that played better than BL I would say the same thing. A Budokai 4 would be pointless if the decendant title is better. People just seem to be more attached to the series name, rather than what mechanics it actually uses.

If Beerus is in the game, I wonder what roll he would have. Is he weak enough to be controlled by the antagonist? Would they wake him up for their bidding? Or would he be given task to destroy the Earth through their manipulations in some sort of exchange the way he employed Freeza?

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 hate how most people complain that this game will have 1 health bar, no it won't unless DIMPs is retarded and wanted to put their efforts in the garbage bag. Also, people are complaining about the gameplay being too slow. The worst one I heard, was someone complaining that the crater left by Tienshinhan's tri-beam is square instead of a triangle. :x

I have two ideas. 1. The player will be selected by toss. (Like in Arkham Origins, there is lot on who will be Batman and Robin in online match)
2. Or, the fusion will be like special attack only, series of more attacks where both players have to choose each attack and the system will choose one from the two or same decisions - plus or series of QTE.
Two possible outcomes. The attacks will fail if the input is wrong or more brutal variant, if the players won't choose the same attack. This second idea is crazy variant of rock, paper, scissors.

Like Big Momma said, in case you haven't noticed, I was talking about the Budokai series specifically. They shouldn't be going back to them. They have already done with the contents we have experienced with Budokai.What is there left for Dimps to keep on developing Budokai? They should be hanging on the ceiling and leave them alone. Dimps was wise to make Xenoverse from a scratch, without using any of stuff from the Budokai series.
Sounds very bias fanboyish statement to me. Regardless of camera for Dimps should be using the best elements of their former games and try to adapt them which logically is how progresion works. Not restarting on every new changed idea, thats why Spike's games got worse and worse over the years. Constant reboots with less and less improved with more and more taken away. Starting from scratch always, just leaves us shallow combat. Budokai nonetheless still has a very patient and open-minded audience, over the BT audience that refuse to touch anything that doesnt resemble it. If anyone needs to get over the past, its the BT3/RB fanboys. They're the ones that hate this game now.A simple BL2 shouldnt be so much to ask for when we've had the "Ultimate Tenkaichi" the alledged game of all former games combined, bomb. If anything Namco should stay away from Tenkaichi because that dream is a failure and has been the last 4 rehashes of it.

People have been making their usual erroneous conclusions nitpicked off nothing logical just like they do on every title. Though now we're getting people pissed off that you can make females in this game because there were no female super sayians in the show. Seems not many people understand what a character creator is for.
MCDaveG wrote:Damn, Treevax is like God among the Tenkaichi fans.
Well, I'm actually glad they didnt use his "highly, supported peer-reviewed engine" because of how broken it sounded to me, the guy hates critique more than a what-if storymode.

I really hope the Dubbed Custom voices arent going to be as god-awful as they were in Ultimate Tenkaichi in parallel.

Goku's Dogi (non customizable)
Kid Gohan's shirt with scarf thing
Raditz's Armor (non customizable)(I stopped playing after I unlocked that)

finger-less gloves
wristbands
Saiyan armor gauntlets (non customizable)

DBO Pants
Piccolo Pants
Saiyan Armor full (if you remove pants it shows lower half with undershorts)

DBO Boots
Piccolo shoes
Saiyan Armor Shoes (non customizable)

Big Ass Shades
Piccolo Turban
Scouter (different colors)


Miss anything?

So I'm curious, so I'll ask. Do you think that the things we change or allow to change have an effect on how the whole series goes? Like if Vegeta died in Cell Saga with or instead of Goku, he would achieve SS3 in other world, thus making him not go to Babidi?

Like someone said this a few pages ago (I guess it was Ryuman?) based on their experience he believed that the missions branch off depending on what you do, like he said he played the Raditz story mode and some times Gohan hit Raditz and sometimes he did not and some other things. Although this is not word for word, so don't take my full word for it. :D

I was just wondering. I'm sorta like a huge what if fan and sinc Vegeta is my favorite character I was hoping he could get a little shine in this one. But the story is Toriyama approved, so probably not :(
