DBZ: Ultimate Blast/Tenkaichi (Pre-Release Discussion)

[Jaruka]

Better quality scan... Spike has either completely reinvented this game or it isn't Spike

Wow that does look.....different....kinda, cant wait for the trailer.

[mystic trunks]

The character models on the top look distinctly different from Raging Blast, but the ones on bottom look like RB. Weird.

[goku the krump dancer]

Yeah I noticed that too. The image above is probably part of the intro movie or something.

[LeprikanGT]

I was going the other way with that; I think the top looks almost like the first photos we got of RB2 but the BOTTOM one makes it stand out.....but I'm still HATING the HUDs.

From the looks it is RB3. I'll pass. The Tenkaichi games are just horrible games. Hopefully it's not but like i posted earlier if it is RB3 or at all like Tenkaichi series then I won't buy. I'm not wasting money on a bad game when we have games like Batman Arkham city, Twisted Metal, Saints Row: The Third and Sonic Generations (I know, lol sonic but remake of Mega drive levels? awesome.)

Honestly do they really except us to keep buying the same game? RB 1 and 2, were no different besides hd to Tenkaichi 1 on ps2. Give us Burst Limit 2 or a new game. By new i mean actually new not same **** different name. A RPG would nice.

What exactly don't people like about the Tenkaichi series and the Raging Blast series? I've never really gotten that. I don't really get why you WOULDN'T want huge open environments and the ability to jump and fly. Without flight, you don't really have the full DB experience.

Why aren't people calling Burst Limit just an HD Budokai on the PS2. I see BL as a large step Backwards from a game like BTand RB where is limits you bck to side dashes and front ways and backways and being stuck on the ground.

The problem with the Tenkaichi/RB series is, at least for me, that it chooses quantity over quality. There may be an epic shit-ton of characters, but all of them are pretty much the same thing with a different skin. Add to that that they never seem to address any of the bugs in the games, and you have a decent idea that goes down the drain... five times.

For me the following.

1) The gameplay awards move spamming and button mashing

2) The focus on getting every character they possibly can in, instead of gameplay. If you're not going to do a character good, then don't do them.

3) They have big combos but doing them actually is worse than just doing basic "n00b" stuff.

4) Tbe AI is stupid to the point of been too easy,

5) They came after Budokai 3 yet were a Massive step back gameplay wise.

6) Everyone plays the same. Fighting games should have differences. E.g Mortal Kombat , Street fighter , Budokai series.

7) Graphics. Now Graphics =/= a good game. BUT if the gameplay is bad at least you can say "it looked pretty" RB1 and RB2 looked like ps2 games. They were nothing on Burst Limit.

8 ) In RB they bragged about "new what if stories" and they turned out to be "Hahaha i am ssj3 fight me" no story, basic psone style cut scenes and the characters were just like everyone else.

9) In RB2 they had a chance to do a cool new story thanks to the animated movie on disc. Yet they opted for a) Non-dub version of movie. and B) No story just meaningless fighting.

10) Raging Blast 1's camera. Do I really need to explain this one?

I could go on. But The point is they are just BAD games. It wouldn't be so bad if they were sold as budget games (cheap games) as least you could say "It's a budget game." But in stead they are full price rubbish that plays worse than any other fighting game on the market.

I'm guessing you haven't played these games. If you have then get a better TV.

I do agree with the other points though. Tenkaichi offered so much promise and since Tenkaichi 2 it's been small steps. I say Tenkaichi 2 because that did change a lot, Raging Blast changed a lot too but once again the next game was nothing. So logically this game should change things a lot and then the next game be a baby-step.

Me neither. I mean, they have their flaws like everything else but, I can't see why anyone would completely dismiss them after playing one or two of them. I guess everyone has an opinion.

Really? I have a HD tv, ps3 hooked up with HDMI. Every other game and bluray looks perfect. Just not Raging blast 1 or 2, How can it be the tv?

Still in doubt?

The graphics look fine in their own right, but they don't mimic the DB style well. In RB2 everyone looked shiny. The models seem too round at times. In the Tenkaichi/Sparking series, everyone was too blocky. The characters have a lifeless "puppet" effect. That kind of stuff is what I'm assuming (at least I do) people mean when they complain about the graphics.

Yes. I know what it looks to me. To me it looks like a HD ps2 game. In fact worse than some HD ps2 games. E.g GOW collection. To me the games look horrible compared to modern games. Sorry if you don't agree. To me they look poor. Even some Wii games beat it.

No. He's saying the graphics look like PS2 games. I understand what you're saying though.

Yes.

Why does it seem like you're just saying that to piss people off? I'd feel better if you didn't like them for the reasons batistabus stated.

Why does it seem like your just saying that to annoy me? I even said "what it looks like to me" I.e my opinion. Posting a few cinematic and a review won't change how it looked to me when i played.

[Innagadadavida]

I will play this game. The end.
