No it's the final Budokai entry for the PS2. Budokai, not Tenkaichi Budokai.

I don't think there'll be a Wii version. This seems like a Dimps game, a direct sequel to Budokai 3, (See the capsule system and the baseline ki in the screens), and they never ported any of their games to the GC.

Budokai 1 and 2 for Gamecube had to be outsourced to a company called "Pyramid" to get one year late GC ports.

Hopefully they're throwing this out for PS2 owners and planning to make Tenkaichi 4 a Wii-exclusive.

Edit- Wait, this is open world?

Damn, now I want it. :lol

Press release:

– Final Dragon Ball Z Game for PlayStation 2 Combines the Greatest Elements from the World-renowned Dragon Ball Z TV Series and Video Games –

LYON, FRANCE – 20 August 2008 – It’s time for one final mighty Kamehameha for the PlayStation®2 as Atari announce the forthcoming European launch of NAMCO BANDAI Games’ Dragon Ball Z®: Infinite World for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in December 2008. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc., Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World combines all the best elements of previous Dragon Ball Z: Budokai games, whilst also boasting new features such as “Dragon Missions”, new battle types and drama scenes for fans to delve deeper than ever before into the Dragon Ball Z® universe.

The new “Dragon Missions” in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World include many famous scenes from the Dragon Ball Z series never before seen in a video game. A range of missions from time attack in the “Snake Road Mission” alongside other action and racing-style missions puts players’ strategy and quick-thinking skills to the test beyond simply showing off their deadly fighting skills.

But no Dragon Ball Z game would be complete without its fair share of spectacular battles. Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World uses a simplified battle system taken from the recently released next-gen Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit for thrilling hand-to-hand fighting on the ground, or flying leaps and aerial combat in the skies. In addition, new ideas have been added to the battle system. Defeat your opponent by blasting damaging Ki attacks from the sky or by diving into him and launching an explosive smash attack.

The game features over 40 unique characters, not counting the different forms that each character can transform into which multiplies the playing potential. On top of characters, fighting techniques and battle stages, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World also includes selected drama scenes from the previous games all presented using beautifully refined effects and shading techniques.

Representing the last “Z” title for the PlayStation 2, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World combines the best elements from the previous Budokai and Shin-Budokai series, as well as the recently released and much-admired next-gen Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, to deliver the definitive DBZ experience on PlayStation 2.

Hmmm... I wouldn't doubt it based on the press release saying that this is the last "Z" game for PS2.

Either way, this game looks gorgeous Its about what I thought they could do if Tenkaichi was build group up for Wii. Now after seeing this I'd expect even more.

Oh, Atari.

This basically says "Hello, DBZ: Burst Limit buyers. We cheated you even more than you thought (well, unless you're a graphics whore). PS2 ftw!"

Not that I think it's a bad decision to have this new game on the PS2 (although they could afford making a Wii version too, because there is an audience for manga-based games), but it makes the Burst Limit scam so much more apparent than its laughable, really.

Eh, the only thing that looks improved from BT3 is the rock textures. The draw/arena distance in BT3 was also much greater.

But it is a visual spectacle to be sure. I don't like the Budokai style of fighting games, however.

I hope they don't use so many things from Shin series. Unify punch and kick in the same button is shit and use super-attacks dramas from Budokai 3. And please make it compatible with first 60GB PS3 models.
First day.

I've got that vibe from it as well. I hope it's not like Burst Limit where they ended with the Cell Saga.

*sigh* Why are we Wii owners being screwed?

Then again, it was back in January IIRC, that Dimps confirmed in a Gamasutra interview that they only just started Wii development.

Does Pyramid even exist anymore? Why didn't Budokai 3 come to the GameCube again?

I haven't played a Tenkaichi game yet, are they actually better than the Budokai series, because I loved the series to death on the GameCube!

Because of this, Tenkaichi 4 better be a Wii exclusive!

I'd say the Tenkaichi series has hands-down the best anime games of all time.

Graphics are pretty nice, but simplified version of Burst Limit? Eh... I didn't even like Burst Limit all that much, Tenkaichi FTW. If there's no Wii version, and it isn't being developed by Spike... then Spike must be developing the next DBZ game for Wii. Awesome, I think Spike definitely makes the best DBZ games (Tenkaichi series rocks!) and if it's made from the ground up for the Wii, I think the motion sensitive special moves will be a lot better (they were decent in BT3, but could've been way better). Hopefully though, if Atari has any brains, they'll have it use Motion Plus and then you could perform the special moves 1:1

Considering how much Spike really does love the Wii, I say Tenkaichi 4 being a Wii exclusive is a sure in.

Spike already made two Wii exclusive new IPs as well as BT2 & 3.

Those two games were Escape From Bug Island and JAWA.

They haven't developed a single game for the 360 or PS3, they only publish games for them in Japan.

Hell, I think Bug Island and JAWA are Spike's very first two original IPs ever, I'm not sure though.

And as a heads up; JAWA supported 16:9, a first time for Spike on the Wii, so BT4 may very well support it!
