One could say the Budokai gameplay was just beginning to get really good with Budokai 3. Many have been wanting a true console sequel to that game, but have had to wait three years as Bandai Namco milked Sparking (which really hasn't made much, if any, gameplay improvements from game to game and was always about squeezing in more characters) to death. At this point, what else is left to do in Sparking? A lot of DB fans are becoming very tired of it.
Personally, other than a true Budokai 3 sequel, I've been wanting a next gen Dragon Ball adventure game. The story of the original Dragon Ball lends itself so well to a Beyond Good & Evil/Zelda/etc. type action adventure game design, that I can't believe Bandai Namco hasn't figured it out yet.
Amazon has a new game play video, with English VAs.

Japanese VA is a no brainer for DBZ games these days. The music though, I dunno. I dont think the Budokai 1-3 games had japanese music even in japan (aside from Head Cha la for Budokai 1, and those original intros for 2 and 3 which made it into other regions releases). Though I hope they keep that intro song for Burst Limit that was in the first trailer.
After watching the video it looks freaking nice! It seems that they have sped up the game play a bit which looks nice. BTW I did not notice in this video the whole punching through people like in the first video they showed of the game. Like in the anime after a crazy punch you could see it coming out in their backs hopefully this was just some early stuff.
Cant wait to get some detailed online impressions. BT3 Wii really dissapointed me with its incredibly lag/strange framerate slowdown. No one's taken responsibility for that one yet (Well Nintendo said they were aware of the problem and provided Atari with information on how they could remedy the problem...) and it was especially disheartening after seeing Smash Bros perform flawlessly online. Oh well, now just to play the waiting game.

That looked awesome. I need DBZ limit inside me.Teknoman said:
Goku doing backflips as he backs away was badass. Also the auras are the best they've ever been.
Nice early through Cell Saga confirmed, and a friggin outer space earth orbit stage 
Is that June 5th 2008 or May 6th 2008? I forget the japanese date arrangement. Might just end up importing this if the online support works to connect all versions. That and if the original japanese music is in. If not i'll just wait for the english version.

35 characters is that? not too shabby.
Looking foward to this.

I might hold out for the English version and hope that original songs will be on it.
I am excited and I guess I was right when I thought it was only until the end of the Cell arc, but maybe it will have some characters from after.
35 characters is good, the Tenkaichi games have like 150 or something, but most there are joke characters anyway.

Well yeah that would be the best course of action. Im not importing as soon as it releases...but it will take a little restraint if I find out the english release isnt until...October or something like that. Then again they already seem to have english voices intact in Burst Limit videos...except without music....so maybe they are close.
Would be nice if the japanese version had an english language option, at least for the menu information.

These are the characters in the first PS2 Budokai, which also went only as far as the Cell Saga:
Android #16
Android #17
Android #18
Android #19
Captain Ginyu
Cell
Dodoria
Frieza
Goku
Great Saiyaman
Hercule
Kid Gohan
Krillin
Nappa
Piccolo
Raditz
Recoome
Teen Gohan
Tien
Trunks
Vegeta
Yamcha
Zarbon
23 characters. Without Saiyaman, you'd have 22. Add Roshi, Yajirobi, Chaotzu and the remaining 3 Ginyu members and you're still only at 28. I wonder if they'll include DB or DBZ characters from the Buu Saga.

yeah, for me I would actually take original music over japanese VA. I mean, other than the cutscenes there wont be much talking, but there will always be music playing.

Since I would have to get the 360 version let's just hope its region free and includes multi language on the same dvd *fingers crossed* :lol
Linkzg said:
Funi's VAs are just too grating to me. I couldn't even take their grunts & yells during gameplay. But from what I understand there will be a lot of cutscenes with full voice acting in this, and I'd prefer to listen to the extremely talented Masako Nozawa & co. over Sean Schemmel's band of street walkers turned "actors."
Whats the usual turn over on how long it takes a DBZ fighter once completed, to reach overseas? Since Burst Limit is releasing there in June, would it be reasonable to expect a July North American release? Just wondering how soon it'll be until we start seeing gameplay videos with music in them so I can make my decision.
Then again...with the 360 theres the option of custom soundtracks...but I plan on getting it on the PS3.

Buu + GT would be win. Would be awesome to revisit DBZ after so many years!
Looks awesome nonetheless. I just hope they don't keep having Kamehameha be like the best move and the easiest to execute.
one can hope, right?

They said in the gamespot video that it is upto the end of Cell arc for the story mode, so yeah, no Buu stuff unless it is extra.
also, multi regional online play and both english and japanese VA in the game. They didnt talk about music.

Yes! So if I do in fact end up importing the PS3 version because of the music, then I should still be able to fight against friends in NA and EU?
EDIT: Good lord...that looks even better than I thought it would. Even the guy watching was like "Wow...this is SO sharp!" Hell you can even see Kami's look out in the background
However...since Donny Clay said it...it may not be true. He's been known for flat out lying about features.

They had better have the Japanese score and voiceovers in the US release since I'll be getting this on the 360. Other than that, there's little for me to complain about. The game looks slick as hell and online play is always good. I've been a fan of the series for a long while now, but never played any of the previous games, so this should be a fresh experience for me. I don't mind at all that they only go up to the Cell saga, (my favorite of the four), as I don't particularly care for the Buu arc. For me, all it was good for was the Majin Vegeta VS Goku fight and the motherfuckin' end-all and be-all VEGETTO.

The game looks absolutely phenomenal; this may be a buy for me after having passed on all three Tenkaichi games. The only thing that's a little disappointing is that it doesn't just cover the whole saga. It seems like a reason to release a "Burst Limit 2" that has from beyond Cell to the end of the Kid Buu saga. I was really hoping the game would be all-encompassing.Teknoman said:Nice early through Cell Saga confirmed, and a friggin outer space earth orbit stage
