This has to mean they were working on something in the background, and I sure it's a Dragonball game given the two rush jobs recently.

Now I have a question; Are you ready for DB games to go next gen so early, or are you willing to wait so devs can learn the new hardware?

Oh really? On PS4? Eh! I'm confident that I won't get it that fast, as the presentation from Sony was horrible.
I expected some groundbreaking physics mechanics at least, or I don't know, but what I saw were slightly improved graphics of this generation of consoles, 2 games looked like those presentations were prerendered (they did that with Sleeping Dogs before). And I can imagine the new console will be for sale for at least 850 dollars, that's the price of PS3 here back when it was released.

No, because I don't want to chuck out the money to buy the PS4 so early.

I thought Spike was done making Dragon Ball games...

How do we know it's a Dragon Ball game? It could be a original IP for all we know.

Could be, but it's likely a DB game.

[Hellspawn28]

I think it could be a new Fire Pro Wrestling game. I won't mind seeing Spike work on something new for once and let someone else do a PS4/Xbox 3 DBZ game.

I didn't think the presentation was horrible at all, I found it great, or at least a major step up from e3 2012 which was awful. I highly doubt it would be $850 or sales are gonna get hurt badly. I see it being $399-$599. Anything more and they are probably shooting themselves in the foot again like with the PS3 during launch. They didn't reveal price as to not tip off competition.

Maybe we can see Treevax style on the PS4?

[Hellspawn28]

If it's a DBZ game then I doubt we will see a PS4 DBZ game for another couple of years. We didn't get a HD DBZ game until 2008, nearly two years after the PS3 was released and nearly three years after the 360 was released.

Calling the next-gen Xbox as "Xbox 3" is confusing because there's already Xbox 360. Xbox 720, Infinity or 8. All these are prototype names, none official.

[MCDaveG]

I really don't think too, it will be DB game, as we allready knew how much pain in the ass was adapting development for the new console.
But maybe we'll get surprised

DImps was also listed, but you failed to mention them ...

I'm not certain why you think it has to be Dragon Ball. Spike Chunsoft makes a variety of games by themselves. They've developed a handful of Vita games, and guess what? None were Dragon Ball.

With that said, these support lists are often times just intent, like "I like PS4, I'll buy a devkit" not necessarily a confirmation of a game in development.

[dbboxkaifan]

It could be another Fire Pro Wrestling game for 2013/2014 considering that they've developed one in 2012, for Xbox 360's XBLA:

The game had potential but the fighting styles were too similar and not fun, imo.

I didn't mention them because they haven't been working on DBZ games as of late. But hey, they could be.

[Hellspawn28]

SSP is right, I think the chances of it being a DBZ game could be unlikely. I think Dimps doing a DBZ game on a PS4 might be possible, but I doubt it as well.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Even if it's a Dragon Ball game, I'm not buying PS4 immediately. Now, if it's a God of War or a Prototype game... well...

[InfernalVegito]

Eh I hope if they're really making a Dragon Ball game they should use this attempt to really learn from their mistakes and create a true successor to BT3. Combining all the good elements that made BT3 and the RB series good. If not then all hope is lost.

[Relentless Saiyan72]

I agree. I really hope they're making a RB3 or possibly porting over that Zenkai Battle Royale Game. With that being said, I think the next DBZ game should be revolved around multiplayer and online. Being that spike doesn't seem to know where to take the DBZ franchise next.

It could be Sonic 4 Episode 3 but neither Dimps nor Sega have announced it, besides Sonic 4 should've never existed and the episodes that exist are very inconsistent (graphically + gameplay). Hell, the iOS version plays far better than on 360/PS3.

It could even be just them publishing The Witcher 3 on PS4 in Japan. Spike Chunsoft does a lot of things.
