Yes! I loved the older Budokai games before they fucked the controls and this looks like they have gone back to the good system.

That actually looked awesome. Revived some of my childhood memories.

I wonder how the controls will do?

@4Degrees: Yeah, I know what you mean. DBZ was one if the first animes I ever saw (on Toonami)

"Of course there won't be a truly accurate DBZ fighter until matches actually take 90 minutes and are comprised of 75% nonsensical dialogue..."

Damn, that's some edgy humor. I hope someone makes some Duke Nukem Forever jokes!

I think we are now at the point where the games look better animated than the show.

Console port of Shin Budokai. I might pass on this. I was really hoping they would use a new system.

75% nonsensical dialog? You surely meant 90 minute fights with 89 minutes spent yelling at the camera.

It will sell like it was FF or Pokemon though, so it doesn't matter how good/bad it is.

I'm assuming there's supposed to be a comma between "guys yelling" and "speed lines". Otherwise, I want to know what the hell a speed line sounds like.

Isnt there like 200 characters in this game? ridiculous haha. Rhythm-based DBZ game would be the best, why? because you could make your characters talk for 40 minutes about some shit or something before throwing one punch. Parappa The DBZ Fighter.

Wow, that's honestly really nice looking. I wish there was a One Piece game with those visuals. Nothing against Toriyama or Toei, but I've been over DBZ since Naruto was a up and coming anime.

In before the meme.

Seriously, didn't this series end years ago? I've never ever heard of anything of this before. Games being made so regularly after the series has officially ended year after year.

NO ONES SAID IT YET! YES!

You know that DBZ's balls are OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

oh the memories of being in love with DBZ when i was a teenager.

i was seriously addicted to it.

i had shirts and everything

now not so much, but this game may get me back into it for nostailga purposes.

@ProfWho: Maybe in the next re-release of the show on DVD, they'll recreate everything using the game's engine.

Actually, that sounds pretty cool.

@Stormrider: It's either "whooooosh!!!" or a high-pitched "fwiiiiing!!!", I think.

@Communist_Gamer:

I apologise for my comment. 4Chan has given me much love over the years :P

@Communist_Gamer: Death.

@huginn - No I will not give you a hug!:

Well you have to think this Anime has trancended normality. It is a pulp culture icon on both Japan, and the United States.

I would compare it to Comic Book type status. People love to play Batman, Superman, and other games of those characters. The only thing with Anime is that it is one long soap opera. There is a true end. Unlike American animation where it is just segments of events many of times.

So I am not surprised people still have high interest in DBZ. Heck I still do, and it has been years since I have seen an episode. I enjoyed the simplicity of it all. Good guys fight bad guys...bad guys lose at last minute push by good guys. Nothing fancy, but what it did was to be a nice simple escape. I think some people just take the show to seriously.

Doesn't look like a bad buy, might look in to this one.

Next time on ctuck... *ending theme song*

But seriously... who's buying all these DBZ games?

@Communist_Gamer: Tool... why must you add to the pylons. :P

Either way... Why hasn't Atari croaked yet?

So? Lots of series are over and live on through video games and novels. As long as the game is fun I can play.

Ohhh yes. This is looking damn fine.

@Stormrider:
You want a new system? Try the Tenkaichi games. Trust me, you'll be yearning for the old system in no time.

Hell, I shouldn't have even replied to this... calling it a console port of Shin Budokai is just plain ignorance.

I liked all the budokai and tenkaihici series but Burst Limit might only be a rent for me since there is only going to be 21 characters and 5 stages.

Also they are stopping at the Cell sega, I really liked Mystic Gohan or Ultimate Gohan whatever name you prefer.

Actually Mr. Fahey, ALL martial arts fights take 90 min with incomprehensible dialogue.

I enjoyed playing the Wii version of DBZ, and think this one looks promising simply for nostalgia factor. My question is why do we have to keep playing the same saga's over and over and over. It's worse than Star Wars games the way they keep doing the same scenario over and over. Aren't there years of episodes to pull from post-Cell Saga that never aired here?

I haven't played a Dragonball Z game years, so I will probably pick this one up for the 360.

oh and...DRAGON DRAGON ROCK THE DRAGON DRAGON BALL Z (yell) hahaha, i remember me and my friend wore all our dragon ball z shirts from the 5th grade one week in high-school. i have pics some where...

Will the game include a Japanese voice option?

How many goddamn dbz games are there now?

"Of course there won't be a truly accurate DBZ fighter until matches actually take 90 minutes and are comprised of 75% nonsensical dialogue.."

very, very true

Woohoo! DBZ in HD!

Wow, this could be the first DBZ game ever that I might buy.

So is this still going to have the open area fights of the recent games?

That was really the only thing that sold me on them.

The actual battle mechanics have always been mediocre in all the 3D DBZ fighters, but at least with the Tenkaichi games you could move around the large areas and what not.

It's looking really good. How much is a 360 in Europe? :P

Any word on how far in the storyline it goes?

I saw Freiza, and I know it goes past the Vegeta/Nappa fight.

Only Thing That I'm Thinking Is The Dlc.

The game is looking great, i've been a big fan of DBZ for a long time. Hopefully the controls get better, which is wishful thinking, but hell watching that trailer got me excited about the game again

The controls are awesome, no worries. The crew at Dimps did a fine job

Looks promising... Atari should focus on their strengths (good dragon ball games and... other stuffs)

Wow, I'm honestly impressed by the graphics

@kidko: A sped up/hyper Rumble Fish engine would do the trick. This game looks a little better, although capturing the wildly hyperbolic fights DBZ has (after managing to sit through the dialogue and screaming) seems difficult. Marvel VS Capcom 2 has the speed and the flashy system and would also make for an interesting DBZ adaptation.

Meh, other than slightly improved shading it still looks like the PS2/Wii DBZs

Budokai 3 is still the best for me although it has that awful guesswork combo thing

That actually looked like fun, I may just pick it up. Though of course it probably won't be better than legends.

Actually good usage of cel shading.

@KaliKOtt: I'm surprised it took so long for someone to point this out. Maybe the lines are better defined and the coloring looks nicer, but it still looks a lot like the Budokai games.

However, I liked those games, and I still like DBZ, so I'm willing to stay interested in this for now.

@Ryumeka: one bit looked like the end of the cell fight. So i guess that far at least.

The best dbz fighting game imo is hyper dimension, I played the rom of that one for hours.

Looks. Fucking. Awesome.

Graphics look very good. Though the controls could be problematic...Here's hoping the game adapts well to the PS controller.

@Stormrider: In example:

"KAMEHAMEHA!!!"(really reallllllllly fast)
like they do in the new ones when you just tap uhhh forward and circle...

and it just goes *PEW*kamehameha*PEW* in about .5 seconds

Have you never played a DBZ game? pish posh... >,>

This game actually looks very, very good at this point.

Having grown up with DB, it's a fucking shame that Funimation degraded it to a point where every supposed "anime aficionado" prods the series with a stick and laughs at it.

@Communist_Gamer: I don't get it... Fighting looks as good as the wii both versions of it, and all the other many ps2 versions. Graphics are crisp though, and I like that, OOOOOO Shiny.

I would buy this game but it's basically a redone version of the first DBZ: Budokai with Budokai 3 controls and shinier graphics. I'll pass.

@KaliKOtt: You wanted the characters to look like real people or something?

I LOOKS good, have never played one of these games thought, I guess it'll just stay that way, I mean I used to love the tv show, but a game? It seems a little kiddy.

that's a damn PRETTY looking game, dAMN PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
