"Raging Blast 2" Gigantic On-Going Gaming Discussion

[mysticboy]

And the only thing Budokai 3 did to barely accomodate their differences between the arcs was the capsule system, which did not at all manage to adequately distinguish their appearances and abilities.

And we can assign moves and pick costumes so...

I wasn't aware that 11 constituted being a "Teen"

Stop being unnecessarily elitist.

but no, he didn't undergo puberty. He did, however, experience notable changes in appearance. I don't see how hard that is to comprehend.

No, he did not. He changed his clothes. That's what alternate costumes are for.

So........any word on when the demo's coming out yet?

No, there's no news about a demo unfortunately.

[Zephyr]

Well, dammit.

[goku the krump dancer]

Didn't America get the Raging Blast demo 1st?

[LeprikanGT]

Yep, we did.

[goku the krump dancer]

It was in I think October right?

[LeprikanGT]

I can't remember, but I know the Xbox version came out first.

Side question: In another forum they were 'speculating' about a Majin Piccolo as a what-if character and referring to it as if it was a plan of Toriyama's or something that was supposed to be in the Manga but never happened. Was that really supposed to happen and they went with Vegeta instead, or was someone just mistaken?

I'm pretty sure that's just a rumor (I don't know for sure though). Piccolo was practically purified by the end of the Saiyan arc, and he had fused with GOD by that point. I doubt he had more dormant evil in him than Vegeta, if any to begin with.

You honestly believe that several versions of the same character is less complicated than customisable characters?

Uh, yeah. You don't have keep re-customizing characters when you want them to have techniques/transformations from a specific point in the series.

I've had a lot of friends ask me why there are so many Goku's in METEOR while playing with some college friends, while when busting out Budokai 3 they simply "get" having the ability to customise characters.

And they don't "get" the fact that Gokū changes throughout the series? Hmmmmm....

It's a neat addition, this is why Super DBZ is still the best of the best.

Yeah, Super DBZ's numerous sequels and spin-offs are truly a testament to that statement.

Since when did games need sequels and spin-offs to be good?

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that the majority of games that are considered "the best of the best" by critics, have had sequels/prequels/spin-offs.

[Saimaroimaru]

I'm hearing we are having 2 new what-if characters in other forums. Is this true? Because its causing the "I WAN SSJ BARDOCK NAO!!!!1!" threads to return.

I wonder if Bio-Broly will be on of the 6 characters.

[Kingdom Heartless]

I don't see why they shouldn't have SSJ Bardock if they already have SSJ3 Broly.

Bardock's popularity should be pretty close to his, right?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I would just like some more What-If creativity than giving Super Saiyan or subsequent levels to practically every Saiyan. New characters would be nice, a potentially new hero and villain, or at the very least, something closer to Yamhan. Anything to avoid more Saiyan's bleaching their hair. lol It wouldn't be so bad, but Spike has shown that when they give someone a new Super Saiyan form, it is almost the exact same as the previous form, except maybe one or two attacks.

I mentioned it in reference to something else earlier, but I think it's also a good thing to point out again. In the Raging Blast series, different characters (counting different roster slots as seperate characters, but not transformations) have different fighting styles. Piccolo Daimaoh brings up a good point about simplifying the prebattle customization, but it is also important to add that in Raging Blast, Vegeta and Vegeta (Scouter) play differently in melee combat. They also have different signature attacks. By cosolidating the Vegeta and Vegeta (Scouter) characters into a single Vegeta, the player loses the ability to have one of these fighting styles available to them. I think that leaving those two versions of Vegeta as seperate characters would be the best thing for the Raging Blast series.

I guess this is a little too mean spirited to sig even if I did find it funny.

[LeprikanGT]

Aaaaaanyways, since there are 'technically' 5 more characters left that "have never been in a DB game before" do you think tey will be: the Jump special characters, other main characters, what-ifs, or more henchmen? I would mind seeing someone from the other movies, Zangya got a spot a few times, why not others too.
