[VegettoEX]

I was just gonna link to all that, too . Here's where we started coming up with it:

This is brilliant.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

90,000 now.

[dbboxkaifan]

We have finally reached 90k likes but now it's gotten to a point where the likes have slowed down a lot. Gotta be patient.

Only 10k left now, though.

[Hellspawn28]

It's going to take a while for it reach another 10,000 likes. I'm still going to bet the game they announce will be a major let down.

[Chuquita]

I'm also currently expectation-less for this game. *Agrees with the chart*. If it isn't Spike behind this upcoming game, I will be surprised.

[THEGOKU]

That chart really does explain it all. Hopefully we can make a new one with a different ending this time.

That's a pretty cynical post. You really don't have hope anymore?

[Hellspawn28]

Not really. DBZ games after 2007 to me have been hit or miss. I would have liked the RB games better if they ofter us something new for once. Burst Limit was fun while it lasted and Ultimate Blast sucked balls.

[dbboxkaifan]

Ultimate Blast had sufficient media content to please the fans, however, the most important part of the game is that the gameplay was barely existent.

Update: 90,137 likes - Extremely slow now.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

It has slowed down quite a bit, but compared to before it's doing good.

A Rumor is going around that Namco Bandai might reveal either the Raging blast 3 by treevax/nostal or something similar to it when they reach 100k on there facebook.

The official Dragon Ball Games FaceBook page has been teasing for the past few weeks about a "Plan To Conquer The World". In other words, they are going to announce a new DBZ Game. They will announce it the second they receive 100k likes on their facebook page (talk about taking like whoring to a whole other level).

If you haven't heard (and i'm sure most of you haven't) a moderator on Namco Bandai's official EU forums called Nostal made a synthesis of fan wishes for the perfect DBZ game as the past few games haven't been that great (the last good game was Budokai Tenkaichi 3). He managed to show it to a Namco Bandai producer who then showed it to the development team of DBZ in December 2011. Around July 2012 Treevax got invited to a Namdai event in paris, to which he brought his fanwish sheets, to his surprise he got to meet the developers behind the Dragon Ball games and showed them the sheets and explained to them how everything worked.

For a full report of this meeting with pictures click here: http://nostal.deviantart.com/journal/?offset=1 To see his fanwish sheets click here: http://nostal.deviantart.com/gallery/37035657

In December of 2012 he posted this on the official DBZ Games facebook page: "I just wanted to let you know that my PS3 is feeling very lonely. She misses Son Gokû and his friends.

She really hopes that the Z-team will come and visit her soon, and that it will be worth the wait.

... _"

They then replied with: " I heard Goku met with Santa lately and Santa told him a secret about next game to come...Maybe if you're nice this year, you will be told the secret..."

A Few days ago somebody posted this on Nostal's Facebook page: "is it true that a new game of DBZ is being made for about 2 years and they said its even better than tenkaichi 3 ??"

And Nostal Replied With: " Something is being developped indeed, with around 2 years of development. I can't say anything else, sorry, but this is going to be big." When he was asked how he knew this he replied with: "I don't work for them, I'm just a french fan. Though, I'm very invested. I'm one of the french Namco Bandai moderator, I take care of the interviews of the producers every year, and I made a synthesis of the fans wishes, the "DBRB3 project", to show them what we are numerous to want.

This is why they trusted me and gave me some pieces of informations about their upcoming product, some month ago."

Let's keep are fingers crossed.

If anyone wanted to add US likes. http://proxy.org/

[dbboxkaifan]

People are either assuming:
1) Four Star Apple = Tenkaichi 4
2) Raging Blast 3

I'd be more than happy if they were to announce J-Stars for Europe and US. I know it ain't a DB game just more like "Battle Stadium D.O.N 2" in 3D.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

If it's something similar with Nostal's "Raging Blast 3", then I'm gonna be very excited.

[Ryuman]

Treevax said those things? Hmm.... My interest in this has risen.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I'd be more than happy if they were to announce J-Stars for Europe and US. I know it ain't a DB game just more like "Battle Stadium D.O.N 2" in 3D.

It's more like a sequel to the Jump Ultimate Stars for DS, since it's a Jump game, not a Dragon Ball/One Piece/Naruto game.

[Makaioshin]

If it is like Nostal's fan wish project then we finally have a sequel to Anime Designer: Dragon Ball Z.
But I'd be totally down with "playing" as Towa.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

What's that?

As for anyone who doesn't know what's Nostal's "Raging Blast 3", check this: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 648&type=1

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Wow! Around 2 years of development time, that's amazing for a DB game. If it's going off Nostals ideas I'll love it!

[Thanos]

Well, if Nostal is to be trusted, then we can basically assume that his vision, to whatever extent, is being realized. He's already hinted quite a bit in the past that he has some contact with the producers on some level, and that something is in the works. And, he actually did meet with them, so either he's lying or this might actually be something worthwhile.

No matter what it is, though, there's absolutely no way Birus isn't involved. Haha.

Who do you think developed Ultimate Tenkaichi and DBZ for Kinect?

I'm pretty sure one of the producers intimated that Ultimate Blast and DBZ for Kinect were basically smoke and mirror titles to fulfill the obligation of the yearly releases. Ultimate Blast was basically Raging Blast 2 with a tweaked engine (made worse, really), slightly touched up graphics, and a few new characters (with a lot taken out). It's clearly just a rebranded Raging Blast 2. The animations are all the same, the character models are all the same, and the sounds are all the same. DBZ for Kinect is even worse, it's Ultimate Tenkaichi, but first-person. Same battles, same scenes, exact same graphics and stages... to me, this is damning evidence that Spike came up with a plan to finally satisfy fans who are looking for a good, solid, polished game. Sacrifice a couple of years, releasing garbage, but on the side work on a serious game. We're happy, they make more money. Everyone wins.
