Dimps made tenkaichi??

 

[chicagocubsfan]

That Super Buu screenshot looks dope. One of my favorite villains, felt a lot more dangerous then Cell IMO.

 

[NHarmonic.]

Let this franchise die already please, there's only so much you can take of a really dated shonen. (though budokai was enjoyable at times).

Spoiler

One piece on the other hand... keep it coming...

 

[stryke]

Dimps made tenkaichi??

No, but they're making this game that looks similar.

 

[Hurley]

So Dimps, the devs who made the budokai style games are making a over the shoulder tenkaichi/battle of z'ish type of game (minus having more then two characters on field) and it already looks better then the last few games we've got? Fucking lol

I'm assuming a lot of this is down to Bandai Namco, they must want the series to keep heading in this direction. Probably cheaper for them to get Dimps to just continue where the last devs left off too I guess.

It may be misplaced but I'm putting faith in Dimps to actually give us a decent DBZ game.

 

[DigitalRicket]

I wish people would stop buying them, because apparently people still do.

This is a pretty messed up thing to say. If you don't like something it doesn't mean others can't.

They can always do Dragonball story games.

 

[publicpwnerer]

Can't believe people want a generic 2D fighter with the DBZ coat of paint. The Tenkaichi style is the one that more emulates the show / source material.

Why not play the other dozens of fighters, like combo/juggle game IV, ultra sub hyper 5, revengeance HD edition, or whatever the fuck Capcom are calling their games these days. (Yes, I'm aware revengeance is Metal Gear & Konami.).

 

[Jazzy Network]

I'm trying to think if I ever bought a DBZ game ever and I don't think I have. And yes I like DBZ.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Gameplay vid looked pretty cool. I might be tricked in to getting this one.

 

[family_guy]

They've been reusing the same sound effects and animations for a decade. Please stop.

Why does it surprise you that people want an accessible fighting game with characters they know and love? The Dimps 2.5D fighters are often fun enough to people who've never experienced Dragon Ball. It's hard to recommend the 3D games to non-Dragon Ball fans.

 

[Prologue]

This looks fun and technachi like. I'm in!

 

[Brian_FETO]

Dude this looks perfect, and the gameplay looks ridiculously smooth. Will buy

 

[Shyakugaun]

this looks amazing

 

[SDJGreen]

Dimps returning to the series makes me hopeful this could actually be halfway decent.

 

[Boss Mog]

Dimps returning to the series makes me hopeful this could actually be halfway decent.

Yeah, except that it's not a Dimps style DBZ game, it seems to be Tenkaichi-like.

 

[Biker19]

Visuals are underwhelming.

I agree. They need to have 4 different teams (or different developers) working on each version of the game, like with Forza Horizon 2 & Mortal Kombat X.

 

[kunonabi]

Why can't they make Tenkaichi 3 HD?

because we aren't meant to have nice things.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I wish they'd make a DBZ that.

A. Isn't a fighter
B. Isn't terrible


I know it's too much to ask.

A JRPG would be fine. In fact, a think a few were made wayyyy back in the day.

 

[bumpkin]

Yeah, except that it's not a Dimps style DBZ game, it seems to be Tenkaichi-like.

Preorder cancelled.

Spoiler

I hadn't preordered it yet, but I definitely won't be doing so now.

 

[Seven Force]

Developed by Dimps

All I needed to hear.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Looks fun might give it a rent first though.

 

[Welfare]

I want Tenkaichi 4 dammit Q_Q

Visuals might not be the best, but I thought the animations were cool. Character customization might return, and I hope to god it's better then Ultimate's CC.

Next Gen version is great, but I thought there was another DB game being made. Is this that game?

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Preorder cancelled.

Spoiler

I hadn't preordered it yet, but I definitely won't be doing so now.

There's gameplay in the first post, mate, I'd check it out before writing the idea off.

 

[littlegrasshopper]

Who's the guy in the end with the capsule corp jacket and red hair. Is that Trunks?

 

[sfedai0]

Wow, im so confused now at the amount of DBZ game out there. Are they all fighting games? What the difference if so?

 

[ProphessorX]

I wish they'd make another dragon ball 2d fighting game.

No need. The fan made Hyper DBZ looks awesome.

 

[Raonak]

Legacy of Goku 2 is still the best DBZ game ever.

 

[MasterForm]

The Tenkaichi style of gameplay is so ugh. Go back to Budokai 3 gameplay.

 

[Onimusha78]

No need. The fan made Hyper DBZ looks awesome.

Never been into the 2d DBZ games but this looks amazing!

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

so it's like Battle of Z....Eh...I'll try it.

 

[TreIII]

If it's closer to Budokai, using Tenkaichi's camera, I suppose I'll give it a shot.

Spoiler

Super Dragon Ball Z was just ahead of its time and directed towards the wrong fanbases...

 

[lamaroo]

Wow, I'm not up on my Dragonball info, what the hell is Super Saiyan God?

My first thought was a Future Trunks and Future Gohan fusion.

Looks awesome, animations on the faces are really detailed. Would it raise budokai's glory?

 

[Squire]

Yeah, I'm out. May as well be another Tenkaichi sequel. Oh well. There's no shortage of fighters coming out, so that's good.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

That character is the worst most frankenstein-ed looking thing ever

 

[Namikaze]

The camera angles are odd. It reminds me of some weird mixture between the Sparking and Budokai camera, not really sure how to explain it. Gameplay doesn't look that great either so I'll probably just skip it.

 

[Aru]

I don't mind Dimps making this game because it feels like a Tenkaichi game. Animations are really cool too. Will probably buy if the reviews are good enough. I haven't played a DBZ game since Burst Limit, which I didn't enjoy that much, after loving Tenkaichi 3.

 

[Imperial]

So how is this any different from the past few DBZ games?

 

[Max Knight]

I'm not 100% sold on the perspective, but this does look a lot better than Spike's games, now that I see it in action.

Will remain cautiously optimistic.

 

[luca_aros]

From Siliconera

"First, you can transform in a stage. Second, the game has canceling."

"Bandai Namco talked up graphical upgrades. Characters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent and take damage, similar to the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm series. The game uses Havok and Silicon Studios Yebis2 engine for energy blast particle effects."

 

[Shojx]

Based on those screens, this game is looking REALLY nice.

I'm extremely skeptical though. I haven't enjoyed a DBZ fighting game since the first Budokai Tenkaichi. I was a big fan of the original Budokai titles, and my favorite out of all of them was Budokai 3. So it's been a while since I've played a DBZ game that I absolutely loved.

Character transformation seems to be back as opposed to making them separate characters, which is a huge plus for me since I loved transforming into different Super Saiyan forms mid-battle.

I'll keep an eye on this title as we see and learn more about it.

That Super Buu screenshot looks dope. One of my favorite villains, felt a lot more dangerous then Cell IMO.

Buu definitely felt more dangerous, but Cell, in my opinion, was more psychologically terrifying. His intelligence and smug attitude really got under my skin, and there haven't been many other villains in shounen that creep me out as much as Cell did.

 

[SDJGreen]

Yeah, except that it's not a Dimps style DBZ game, it seems to be Tenkaichi-like.

That's fine by me - If they can do something fresh with it then by all means they should. Budokai 3 was fantastic but there's no use just chasing that forever. This looks heavily Tenkaichi inspired (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but I'm sure they're doing their own thing with it. Tenkaichi 2 and 3 were great DBZ games - sure not deep fighters, but good encapsulations of Dragon Ball z into an action game. So I'll see what Dimps are doing with this first, it may actually turn out pretty good.

 

[Authority]

This franchise needs to crash and burn. It was never suppose to be a fighting-esque game. It was suppose to evolve and become sort of like X from Monolith. Open-world RPG with MMO elements and different fighting modes.

 

[denshuu]

Plays like Tenkaichi. Thank God. Hopefully it controls closer to Tenkaichi than Raging Blast, but I'm just glad it's not in the style of the last few of these games.

 

[Kiant]

Doesn't look that bad actually, colour me surprised. Wish they would make a burst limit 2 though, that was the last DBZ game I enjoyed.

 

[Shadownet]

There thousands of other anime that they can make into a game, yet they keep going back with Dragon Ball Z. As much as I love the anime/manga. Its getting boring to see them speed pump out lacklusting games.

Why not .Hack//, Fullmetal Alchemist, Sword Art Online, One Piece, etc?

 

[Moaradin]

No need. The fan made Hyper DBZ looks awesome.

Yes it does but I want a proper one. Huge roster, online play, competitive viable.
