Should there be a new adventure game?

Post by WittyUsername » Thu Mar 26, 2015 11:18 pm

We all know that Dragon Ball: Z Sagas was terrible, which is a shame because the idea of a Dragon Ball adventure game for the main consoles as opposed to yet another fighting game has potential. I'd like to see them give the adventure game concept another shot.

Thoughts?

The Z portion of Dragon Ball doesn't have the kind of story that would translate well into an adventure or RPG game, they would have to write a new story. If I were making it, I'd have a reality warping God completely flip the Dragon Ball universe on its head and cast the characters into new roles, kind of like in the One Piece X Dragon Ball crossover manga, and then make a Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy style game around that.

I think a Dragon Ball adventure game could be awesome f they have it in a fashion like Dragon Ball universe in B3 where can fly over the world but when you enter a city, you can explore it fully and find hidden items or Easter eggs or take part in extra missions or battles.

Adventure game? Hell yeah!
Is it weird to want a DB equivalent of games like YS chronicles, for example? Or are my tastes too outdated compared to the majority of people on this forum?...
There's way too much match-based combat in gamemakers' minds these days and while I LOVE mindlessly beating the shit out of computer characters, (Xenoverse was super fun) it would be nice to take a breather and focus on other elements, like exploration and some degree of critical thinking. (though that might be out of bounds for today's db franchise...lol)

I would be beyond excited if we got something new in the vein of Sagas or Revenge of King Piccolo, only done way better (though I thought RoKP was fun for what it was). Anything to shake up the continuous stream of fighting games would be welcome.

Do the Legacy of Goku games count as "adventure"? Because if they do, hell yeah I want a new one if it works in a 3D format. The LoG games were my favourites of the franchise.

Either call Avalanche Studios to make a improved Sagas reboot or an adventure game equivalent to it.

I for one really enjoyed Sagas for what it was. It's far from bad though more on the average side. The only things bad about it were that it stopped at Cell(though I do see why), its glitches, and Broly being OP AS FUCK!

It would have to be side stories, like things put in the anime. It could start with Goku having to search for Gohan in the forest. Another level would be Goku on Snake Way; maybe having him running non stop; but because of the twists and turns; if you don't control what side he's on, he'll fall off. Something like that.

Obviously, Dragon Ball would be much better suited, especially the first story; but I'm just so sick of all these Street Fighter type games.

I want a third person adventure game!!

They could even just do create adventure story lines in the gaps of Dragon Ball. It's be cool to have a Goku game in between the two Piccolo arcs.

It would be cool for sure depends on who makes the game. I doubt it will happen anytime soon given that Xenoverse is likely going to be this gen's main DBZ game fighting series for now. The PS2 had Budokai 1-3 and Sparking 1-3 while the PS3 & 360 had the Raging Blast series.

I would like a new dragon universe indeed, level ups, diferent story for each character, and some tactic fighting like ultimate tenkaichi with more explosions and destructions.

But since this isn't happening, I would like some hacks from dragonball adventure on gba.

I think they really have a chance to capitalize on this 12 universes thing as we probably won't ever explore all 12 in the anime/manga. They'd have a chance to create brand new villains and heroes just like in Xenoverse. Xenoverse 2 is more than likely going to take place in a different universe, but I think an adventure game would do it far better justice. I think it'd be cool to create and entirely different cast of characters, and it can be done without Goku just as it was proven in Xenoverse. I could see like the main character meeting Goku at the end, with Goku challenging the strongest fighter of whatever universe to a fight. (Sort of like when Jaden dueled Yugi at the end of GX) A lot of people still accept DBO's timeline as canon, and Xenoverse really shook things up instead of repeating the same old fighting characters/cast/story like those before it.

Honestly I think a game by the Dynasty warrior series team would be amazing. It'd be like Xenoverse + Battle of Z taken to new place. Add elements from the Dragonball universe like collecting dragon balls. I mean look at Dragon Quest heroes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtkuNrzv7WM&html5=1


I'd even do flight via areas that move you to cloud levels if needed as flight is cool but would ruin game. Now Imagine playing as Future Trunks and eating through game created androids or cell Jrs with your sword or Punching through everything as Goku or the crazyness of using Buu (I see his arm attacks been bad ass) It's allow for Gohan with Z-sword to be character and for characters like Bulma to be used as in their Dragon Quest heroes you can summon monsters. Imagine Bulma using Capsules to launch little robots would be fun. Hell even launch with guns could be used.

They could easily split too like say DragonBall Warriors = Dragonball half . Dragonball Z warriors - Z half , Dragonball Universe warriors - filler like GT and Movies. If they wanted or 1 game with big DLC packs.
