Holy crap, it looks gorgeous. I cannot wait to import this for my PS3.

Same screens, higher resolution:

Noticed that the character portraits change expressions during the fight. Little things like that make me happy.

If the fighting's dull enough that you pay attention to the character portraits...

The guys who made the fucking anime couldn't write an original Dragonball story to save their lives. I don't see why everyone wants some game company to fuck around with it.

Because it's not really that difficult if you don't try to over-complicate things. Shin Budokai 2's story wouldn't have been so bad had they not tried to work every playable character into the story mode.

But, what I'm getting at isn't really something in-depth right that. I failed to mention that before (sorry!). What I'm getting at is something more like an "ARCADE MODE" or something. No really deep story. Just something minor to give the character you chose some sort of purpose for fighting everyone he fights in the next ten stages or so before facing off against someone who would be considered a really strong villain compared to which character you choose.

My god snaku, why don't you just solar flare me in the eyes already.

Time for the miserable git to give his opinion!

These honestly don't look so impressive at all.

All looks interesting to me, but definitely not impressive, at least not until I see more. The image of Vegeta using his signature move looks very awkward. His limbs are a bit too long for him to match the anime counterpart, plus his body doesn't illuminate as vigorously. The beam struggle looks pretty different, in a good way.

Edit- HOWEVER, these all look like something that any previous-gen consoles can handle. Just look at the graphics of some of the latest PS2 games, they can easily triumph Burst Limit's graphics. The "shockwave" (?) from the beam struggle looks the best, graphic-wise, so far IMO.

That, and his arm is coming through his shoulder armor.

I think it would be cool if the pictures of the character on the health bars looked like they were screaming in the beam struggle, that would be pretty cool.

Huh? According to IGN, Atari's keeping the name of the game Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit:

Just so you guys know.

I can't wait to get this, I'm gonna get if or PS3 and XBOX360.

Sure, you would be cool to mention this. (Just playing around with ya) Like the icons in "Legends", right? I think Goku's change of expression came from using Kaioken, like in the original Budokai. Expressions would be really awsome, though.

You can't look at a screen shot and come to the conclusion that a game could be done on the previous generation of consoles. There may be (*and obviously is, since this game is PS3/360 only..) much more going on than what you can see in the picture. I personally can't see the PS2 handling this based on what I've seen throughout it's life. If it came to PS2, it would probably be like the Dynasty Warriors Gundam (PS3->PS2 port) situation. A severely downgraded PS2 game, an (IMO) pretty good looking PS3 game. I just wanted to clear that up, since I've seen an uncountable number of people everywhere saying what you said. There isn't a PS2 game that could even touch this IMO (seriously, what?), but I'll wait until I have the full version so that the PS2 has a fair chance *chuckle*.

Anyways, I think the new screen shots look pretty good. I kinda like the "Power Struggle" screen shot. Hopefully that bubble effect is only temporary during a power struggle, though.

I'm surprised no one's commented on how truly f*cking BIZARRE Goku looks in the first image.

I have yet to see an image where Goku looks bizarre.

I agree. Sarcasm was used to a certain extent when I implied that the PS2 can handle this game. Since I watched the trailer a few weeks before, I am very aware of limitations of these screen shots. Maybe I'll put half a sarcasm emoticon for these kind of comments. Don't get me wrong, though, as I am one of those who can't wait to play the game.

Can we possibly get those images converted to links instead? They're stretching out the page something fierce.

Of course not. That would make too much fucking sense!

Few people know that off the set of "Dragonball Z", Goku and Frieza were avid ballet dancers.

After being bitten by a radioactive spider, Goku realized he had acquired the arachnid's amazing powers.

Looks more like he was bitten by a radioactive Ballerina.
