"DBZ: Battle of Z" (360/PS3/Vita) On-Going Discussion Thread

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Naruo was the big thing back in 2005 when it came out in the US. I'm not sure how popular Naruto is still is now. I think One Piece is still the most popular anime/manga in Japan.

Naruto is the #2 most popular on-going Shonen manga in Japan. One Piece is of course #1, and Toriko is #3.

Why is it when we get a gameplay clip the person playing always seems to suck? At least they've still got like 6 months or so of Dev time, hopefully it will end up being really polished. Well on the bright side the 100% Freeza model looks much better than before.

It's not the person that's terrible at it, the gameplay is flawed.

This game's off the pre-order list. Congrats Namco Bandai, you screwed up again.

Well, I posted this in the ZBR thread, but here are my Three cents:
I wonder why the spend years on Battle of Z when Zenkai battle looks like it's both faster and has more moves than the BoZ...

How is arcade games better than home console?

[Quebaz]

If were talking about best character models, I think that honor goes to either Raging Blast 1 or Ultimate Tenkaichi.

In my opinion the worst models would go to Raging Blast 2. I cant stand how bright they are and how they look like shiny plastic.

The best models are from this game

Spoiler:

Those are sprites and in that game they look horrible, try Shin Butouden.

Forgot about those. Yup Shin Buyouden is the best. Straight from the anime

How is arcade games better than home console?

There are games which originally were on the arcade machines and then ported/developed for the home consoles so in a way they're inferior, this one's definitely the case of being a step-down from Zenkai Battle Royale.

It's hard to trust Namco Bandai any more these days. I'll just use the money for Sonic Lost World because that game's going to be worth getting day-1.

I mean now a days. Old school games arcade versions are better IMO. But now days most of the time it's the home consoles that's better. I would rather a Zenkai Battle Royal port. Hell I'll take a Dragon Ball Heroes based game

[TheMightyOzaru]

Chill out........this is what we've been waitng for the whole year.......

You think we haven't been trying to look forward to it? So far there's not a whole lot to look forward to based on that gameplay.

[dbzfan7]

Anyone rather just have Zenkai Battle Royale ported instead? It looks better than this game.

I don't know. Both games don't look highly entertaining from a gameplay perspective. I'd honestly rather have BoZ.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

I have no idea how Zenkai Battle Royal plays in comparison and it was designed with the arcade in mind. So, honestly I really wouldn't. Would I like to play it, sure but I can't get excited over a port. I'd rather see something built from the ground up.

[dbzfan7]

Zenkai looks better to me. That could change though.

Zenkai Battle Royal was built from the ground up when made for the arcade.

He obviously means something new instead of just porting an older game.

[miguelnuva1]

DBZ is starting look like every time they make something from the ground up it turns it bad more times then good versus updating older games.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Could someone explain me how Zenkai Battle Royal is better than Battle of Z?

Better camera and more DBZ feeling.



It just seems more appealing.

[dbboxkaifan]

It's unbelievable how this game has been in production since 2011 and it's still a pile of garbage (looking at the recent gameplay footage) not even Spike games are this bad. I used to support this game thinking it was going to be a home console version of Zenkai Battle Royale obviously that was an illusion.

Namco Bandai just needs to port Tenkaichi Tag Team as a downloadable arcade game on XBL/PSN because judging by the gameplay of both, TTT's better for sure, but I doubt that NB will do this.

Don't be so hard on it. The person playing clearly sucks major hippo ass.
