"Dragon Ball Z For Kinect" Official On-Going Thread

[dbboxkaifan]

If a Kinect game is similar to this then I might check it out. I play the Kinect before, it's pretty fun but I don't think I will waste $100 just to buy it. It's fun for kids and the family but not someone who is likely not to use it.

I have an Xbox 360 S, but for now still no Kinect, a family member does and also has Kinect Sports which features football.

It felt so damn good to use my body to play football once again even though the passing, kicks and shots were only in-game, but still pretty cool and fun to play.

With Kinect becoming a Windows PC device also, anything's possible.

Nope, not really interested. Hopefully this won't be the only DB console game this time around, or else this'll be the first year I skipped since Budokai 1 (yep, the World is ending).

Sorry to sound pessimistic, but I am not looking forward at this at all. As I said in the other thread, I can't see them putting much thought into this at all. Hell, I'd be surprised if you could play as more then Goku in a bunch of 1 on 1 fights in the series. That is of course, if this becomes more then just a rumor. I doubt it though given the lack of love for Microsoft in Japan(assuming this isn't being made in the US). Again, I'm being pessimistic but I wouldn't get too excited just yet.

Ah, you brought a good point. Japan isn't very fond of the 360 are they, so why would they make a 'serious' title, especially for the Kinect? I doubt a lot of funding has gone into this, maybe it's just a bit of fun? I don't know, but they shouldn't expect to make too many sales. I don't have a Kinect or 360, and don't intend to get either; and I doubt a lot of other people will too.

I have Kinect and it's f******* awesome technology! Really fun to play games. Screw Wii with their s**ty nunchaks (have it too ) but I won't buy DBZ on Kinect, because it will probably suck.

[Ashura]

Of the new motion-tech, the Kinect is the most interesting... though they haven't done anything really amazing with it yet.

[MCDaveG]

Well only interesting game I saw on Kinect is the Star Wars one, but unfortunatelly, all sellers in CZ are responding to my questions: ''Not released here in Europe yet'' and nobody outside on Amazon or ebay knows anything about it.....
Other Kinect games are like dancing and sports. Really fun to play, but nothing outstading or some stable franchise for it yet.

Dave, if you haven't you should download Ninja Fruit, it really is an impressive Kinect game and if you do the Kamehame-Ha the camera on the TV kind of sparkles with it. : D

I can't wait for Dragon Ball Z Kinect to be released and with a demo, to get a taste of it. I.e, hopefully it'll end up in a real game than just a rumour.

You do? Well, it can't suck as much as something Spike will make right? I mean every year they seem to outdo their shitty-ness. If the formula continues, then if I was you I'd rather give this game a go then the usuals. At the least it would be a bit of fun, I'd guess anyway.

This is a rumour though, so who knows maybe we're talking about something that isn't at all in works? lol...

[dbboxkaifan]

DonnieZ, you're being too harsh on Spike now, Spike's RB2 was fantastic, the graphic, the gameplay, music (original/replacement), characters' list, Galaxy Mode, it's all better than the previous Spike Raging Blast / Tenkaichi games.

Note: It's my opinion, though, I always felt the previous always needed to be "fixed" or "improved".

Not saying RB2's perfect, but better than all Spike DBZ games to date.

If Spike comes back with Raging Blast 2 gameplay (or even better) for the new Dragon Ball Z Kinect game, it'd be awesome!

[MCDaveG]

Well, it's true that RB2 is probably the best next gen DBZ game by my opinion. Only that because of the one year development, it feels little incomplete.

[Tsunamo]

Well I guess that confirms it.

Oh my goodness they are serious.....

[LeprikanGT]

I'm gonna have to go with doubting this game as well. Theres just WAY too many things your character does in game to be able to mimic with your body unless this is one of those watered down games for kids.

[Innagadadavida]

unless this is one of those watered down games for kids.

I thought they already mentioned it was for Kinect.

[LeprikanGT]

Touche my friend.

I'm thinking just a first person blaster or something since there is NO way youll be able to punch and kick with actual combos and be able to teleport behind people and all that good stuff.

Atleast if there was one for the Move, the lights could change colors and get brighter and there would be SOME buttons to better control characters.

PS Move's a lot like Wiimote, it's more accurate but still uses a controller.

The point of motion sensing is being controller-less, and Kinect does that brilliantly.

[Super Sayian Prime]

Motion sensing was never defined as controller-less movement. If it was, and all gaming were to be motion sensing than the industry would be in jeopardy given how narrow in genre choices you can do.

*Slow clap*

But seriously, this has to be the biggest disappointment yet.

[SpaceKappa]

I consider myself the resident Kinect expert 'round these parts (Check out my reviews!) and I'm going in with cautious optimism. Yeah, there's a lot of bad Kinect games, but there's plenty of good ones too; the main difference is that bad ones are made by people who don't understand the technology.

This will NOT be like any other Dragon Ball game, I can guarantee you that. A lot of people have trouble wrangling the controls of Dragon Ball games when they have 10 or more buttons at their disposal. Trying to do that with your body is a recipe for disaster.

What I'm hoping for is something like that old Star Wars Trilogy arcade game that had you flying ships, speeder bikes and lightsaber dueling in first person. I imagine a game like this would be on rails, mostly, and let you participate in iconic scenes from the series. They'll have to embellish a bit to make it interesting, but there's a lot more potential there than I think people realize.

Anyway, you probably don't trust my opinion since I went on the podcast and said publicly that I enjoyed Ultimate Tenkaichi, so yeah!

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

A rail type game is something I really don't want. Damnit Namco-Bandai I just want a good fighter game with more then just (Saiyan-Cell) characters for my PS3! Is that so hard?

[dbboxkaifan]

True but controller motion sensing is going to become obsolete.

With Kinect I just have to say "Xbox Bing" "Xbox YouTube" "Xbox Pause" "Xbox Play" "Xbox Naomi Kyle" (lol kidding ) "Xbox Open Tray" "Xbox Close Tray" "Xbox Bing Dragon Ball" "Xbox YouTube Sxephil" or just wave my hands around.

I guess the future HDTVs and consoles will have a Kinect-ish device inside them or individually sold, because for consoles it's not always placed in the most appropriate places.
