This game is only for PS3 and XBOX360.

Finally, the return of Dimps! Maybe this will be the game which will make me come back to the series.

This is awesome news! I can't wait to have more information on this game!

Oh I loved the Budoukai series!

I also hope it comes to PS2 or Wii in addtion to PS3 and X360. I don't want to have to buy a PS3 just for one game.

Here's the first entry of their blog from the official Burst Limit site. I can only understand a little bit of it.

全世界待望！NEXT DBZ！
こんにちは！
今作のプロデューサーのバンダイナムコゲームス三戸です。

The whole world is waiting for the next DBZ!
Good afternoon!
*Now work... producer of Bandai Namco game... something something... desu."

ついに発表されました次世代機版「ドラゴンボールＺ」！
開発は大阪のディンプス社で行なっており、気合120％で鋭意製作中です

Finally revealing the next-gen Dragon Ball Z!
It's being developed by Dimps in Osaka and they're putting 120% effort into it.

このブログでは、ゲーム誌などでは伝えきれない
開発のこぼれ話や細かいネタなどなどを紹介していきたいと思っています。

*This blog is for recording the development of the game... etc. etc... something something...--imasu.*

さて今回発表になりましたが、実は数年前から開発を行なっておりました。

*Something about this game being in development for several years now.*

...and here's the rest. I don't feel like finishing it right now.

ただPS3とXbox360という次世代２ハードでの開発ということで、
結構な時間がかかっている大作です。
その甲斐もあって、満足できるようなドラゴンボールZの次世代ビジュアルと
ゲーム内容に仕上がってまいりました！

そしてなんと！初公開したばかりですが、早くも今週末（12月22日、23日）に
幕張メッセにて開催されます「ジャンプフェスタ2008」に「BURST LIMIT」の
映像と試遊台が出展されます。

「ジャンプフェスタ2008」に行かれる方は、是非ともバンダイナムコゲームスブースに
お立ち寄りください！超カッコいいプロモーション映像は必見です。
後にこちらのホームページでも公開しようと思っていますのでお楽しみに。

ちなみに今作のサブタイトルである「BURST LIMIT」は日本語で言うところの
「限界突破」をイメージしています。悟空たちの限界を突破した激闘を体感できるような
熱いゲームになればと思っています。

今後も週刊少年ジャンプ、Vジャンプなどを中心に続報をドシドシお届けしますので
ワクワクして待っていてください！

Dimps? Alright, now I'm slightly hopeful.

Personally I always liked the Sparking! engine better, and therefore enjoyed the games more, but the return of a series by the original crew is definitely a good idea.

As for the Wii, while I'd like to see this hit it, until I see more on it and how awesome it may end up, I'd like the Wii to continue with more Sparking! games. It could be the same deal with Naruto - PS2/3 gets Ultimate Ninja series, GC/Wii gets Clash of Ninja series.

Chuquita · Post by **Chuquita** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 12:05 am

But I don't like separating games based on the three big systems!

That just makes it seem like "haha, you can't play this game because YOU don't have enough $ to own a PS3, Wii, AND an XBox 360."

Sorry, no. I don't like that. Seems unfair.

You think THAT'S unfair, try being a PC Gamer. We hardly ever get anything that's not an RTS or a shooter.

Last fighting game I played on PC was Virtua Fighter 2.

It may not be fair, but I'd love a series of games from both developers. Besides, if this is going to 360 and PS3 only, I need something for my Wii. T_T

If this game have really been in devevelopment for several years, that's an even greater relief in comparsion to Sparkling! series. This is best news for DB gaming since Super Dragon Ball Z.

If this image from the blog is taken using the game engine, then I'm expecting great things:

It doesn't look like artwork to me (slightly blocky edges).

But thats what the Sparking! artwork went for (especially NEO) and I think we all know they weren't stills of the player models.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Dimps animate the characters this time around, because Budokai 3 still trumps the Sparking! series on character animation, so I'm looking forward to seeing just how expressive they make the characters.

Whoa, so it's going to be DBZ Burst Limit? What will it change to when it arrives to the other countries, I guess DBZ Budokai 4. Other than that, this seems like a sweet game, one which I might get a few years after it releases, PS3/XBOX360 are hard to get(in terms of price). Better yet, I am hoping for the return of the animated intros, no one talked about them yet?

Nyoibo · Post by **Nyoibo** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 10:10 am

I was thinking that we might see an intro made entirely using the in-game engine. It all depends if the animation is good though. Hopefully Dimps are doing as big an effort with this one as they did with the first Budokai - the cutscenes in that game are still top notch.

Don't care. I'm importing. The end.

If they feel the need to retell the story once again, here's hoping they really go all out on something like Dragon Universe. Oh man.

Kendamu · Post by **Kendamu** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 3:15 pm

Being that this game, as far as I can tell, has been in development for awhile wouldn't that mean that Bandai never really dropped Dimps from their console development? It just seems like Bandai went up to Dimps one day and said "Start working on the next-gen DBZ game. In the meantime, someone else will cover for you."

trunks and goten are awesome

NECPS · Post by **NECPS** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:59 pm

Dragonuniverse for storymode and Dragonworld for an alternative bonus.
Oh, and the cutscenes from the first...

I hope they renew the capsules too. No more kaioken for supersayian!
And unlimited time for Vegeto! (ops they already did it in Shin Budokais)
