Either JPN Game get a new score and international get the original OST
There is more music than the original OST
They removed it
They meant that he fans can download music and play it while playing the game(I do this)

Well, I'm guessing this is what they meant when they said we'd be getting the "Japanese music". I don't remember which game it was, but we've been through this before. :(

Personally I'd love a feature like in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 where you could choose music from your hard drive to replace existing tracks. That would be sexy.

I thought that gameplay looked really fun. Lots of whizzing around and such. Also, if that's the replacement score, it sounds really nice.

So no more in game transformations?
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

We have seen Vegeta, Gohan, and Freeza transforming, so I would say that they are in.

So far no. But it's just a demo. Don't expect it though. Would't be shocked. But I notice that EVERY character that transform was a separate slot. I expected SSG to be separate but EVERY character transformation. Noramlly it's just Goku SSJ form.
We have seen Vegeta, Gohan, and Freeza transforming, so I would say that they are in.

Transformations during cutscenes don't mean anything in regards to actual in-game transformations during combat.

Just check the trailer & the Freeza gameplay that was just posted. Vegeta & Gohan go Oozaru, and Freeza goes Full Power.

If GT does get added later on then I hope we can get Adult Gotenks. The whole game is based on what if stories, so maybe they can have Gotenks help Goku against Bebi Oozaru during the story mode.

Those were cut scenes -_-. That's like saying Budokai 1 had in Game Oozaru transformations because Vegeta was shown going great ape. Till I see a REAL in game transformation then I'm saying no transformations in game ONLY because of the chaarcter select screen. Also I find it weird that they didn't show Goku turning SSJ before Freeza "Blow up" namek. That's a major high point in the series. Unless they didn't want to spoil on how he turned SSJ(Read Dragonball SD to see how he transforms in this game)

But that character select screen was from a PC, not to mention that the characters were in chronological order. It doesn't mean anything.

When Freeza blew up Namek's core, Goku was already a Super Saiyan.

I said BEFORE Freeza blow up Namek. You know when he first transformed then it could have played Freeza destroying the core. I said BEFORE not AFTER.

We don't know. It very well might be no in game transformation. Many games were presented from a PC :lol: . Also not all of them were in order.

Hey someone had a positive reaction to MAYBE no in game transform

Greatings for 900! Did you see BOZ's character roster? Just 70 characters... so... disappointing.

it's not really disappointing, if they have most of the main characters there shouldn't be a problem

No in game transformation,. The characters for the transformations were separate characters.

i know, it doesn't make a difference. Every character is it's own, a transformation is the same as a switch

So it's that easy to get rank "S" :shock:
The guy even lost at one point and used a continue.

Even J-Stars Victory Vs. has in-game transformations, and it's Goku's special ability in the game:

I'm sorry but that newest gameplay video just looks like SHIT.

It doesn't look fun and just seems like a complete clusterfuck.

It's like they are just flying around but on rails, the attacks sometimes look like they don't connect and there is a lack of supermoves.
I bet the terrain destruction is gone from the last games and no beam struggles not to mention that 4 vs Freeza just seems like a mess.

The gameplay looks like it would get boring very quickly.

I'ts kinda like budokai tenkaichi 3 but BT3 did it a lot better than this.

Plus the graphics are pretty average.

Is this game seriously what that treevax guy was hyping up a while ago?

I can even say the fact it took them 2 years(Hence why we got Budokai HD) to do this is sad. Maybe because it's a new engine. But with 2 years of waiting I think fans were hyped for a great game unlike the last 5.

I hope Namco Bandai didn't get rid of Spike or Dimps because Artdik needs more time to work on their game. I'm still hoping they can pull something off the closer we get to release.

Or at least fine tune things if there's a next installment.

Loving that model, looks like a mixture of BT3's Gohan's costume 2 hair plus Super DBZ's overall look, really liking it.
