Jesus Christ on a flaming stick of poop. Well OK then.

My point remains valid except for that one awful example that I was clearly wrong about and discounts my entire point.

(My excuse is that I can't see my Japanese PS2 games from this chair.)

So did we get any info on the 6 brand new characters yet? I'm really excited to see who they are. I'm hoping we get some cool new movie characters this time around. Garlic or Bojacks henchman would be pretty fun to play as.

Wow, confirming a sequel before the game is even released?
What a flat-out retarded marketing strategy.

Either way, just think how much money they'll lose.
Thanos, a fan of the franchise just said flat out that he'll think of skipping this one.
Saying shit like "We'll throw that in the next one" is really shooting yourself in the foot from a marketing standpoint.

Hahaha, so true.


By now, pretty much everyone knows that each release is basically just a baby-step. I mean, there are some major improvements between each game... but when a new sub-franchise game is released, everyone pretty much knows they're teasing the consumer by selling an incomplete product. As fast as these games are released, I'm kind of suspicious. What if Raging Blast 3 and Sparking! METEOR were already completed by the release of the first game, but they just "strip away" at it for an incomplete product so people will by the better game next year?

It sounds like a conspiracy theory, but think about it--Sparking! METEOR was fairly complete (opinions aside, it was complete for what it is), yet a couple years later, they release a new game released on a new generation of consoles, that's exponentially more powerful... yet the game has less than half the characters, stages, shitty menus, and no Dabura and Ultimate Gohan, only to boast the the former as a new character in its sequel? Not to mention the broken game play mechanics of last year's game. How hard would it have been to take Sparking! METEOR!, up the graphics, make a new Story Mode, and maybe even add some more characters and stages?

Yes, Dimps is guilty of this as well. I only focused on Spike's games so I wouldn't come across as a Sparking! fan boy (which I am, lolol).

Burst Limit was pretty good online. However, you have the very terrible drama pieces, and less characters than the original Budokai, ending at the Cell Games, which is a tragedy reserved for the most gut-wrenching Shakespearean tales. They were even so bold as to flaunt Super Saiyajin 2 Goku in one of the game's cinematic sequences.


It's the shape-shifting reptilian aliens from Alpha Draconis, guys. :P
I was Thanos before the MCU existed!

I think the first game in each series is a test to see what they can do with whatever direction they're trying to go in and to see what the fans have to say.

Do they download videos in HD?
BTW(again)this version has the best quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d0gIpVhIng&hd=1
Also, who composes the music for Raging Blast 1 and 2.
Is it Kenji Yamamoto?
He is my alltime favorite composer.

He composed music for Tenkaichi 2 and Tenkaichi 3.
Finally, i know who composed the music for those games.
You do mean the american version, right, and not the japanese version?
Will Kenji Yamamoto return to the games, or is he too busy with DBK?

Nothing's been confirmed yet, but I assume that Kishi will return to compose the music for Raging Blast 2. As you said, Yamamoto may be too busy with Dragon Ball Kai.

I'm not sure on your question about a limited edition, but RB2 is already available for preorder on amazon.co.uk
