this is not like i pictured it i assumed it was like a street fighter turn out .seems like its more dynasty warriors if anyones played this can you gimme your opinion please ??

Sly-Lupin3747d ago

I haven't played it, but I have played most of ArtDink's other games. It's not going to be a fighter. Basically, it's a DBZ "mod" of their battle engine, which was originally designed for mech combat (first Gundam, then Macross)--though they also used it to make a pretty cool action/flight combat/RPG thing last year.

Basically, it's a "3D action combat" game. It's a hard genre to describe because it really doesn't exist in the West. Competitively, the game is built around 4v4 combat, but the engine is capable of involving much larger numbers of enemies (in single player, obviously). If anything, I'd say it will be more similar to something like Ace Combat. You have a number of ranged and melee attacks, various special attacks, a dodge move and a boost move, and fight by locking on to enemies.

There's also a degree of item interaction, too (in the engine). You can pick stuff up and move them (which has a lot of potential for stuff with dragonballs) and can help allies. The last game also introduced a lot of item usages--like healing items, weapon items, buff and debuff items, etc.

Basically, it's going to be a really fun action combat game. If you go into it expecting a fighter, you're going to be disappointed--because it's not a fighter. At all.

So far it's like tenkichi games, that was just the tutorial level. Not like Dynasty warriors at all. It's free roam stages and allows multiplayer.

Ripsta7th3747d ago

Is like an arena fighter with multiple enemies, dnt rlly like it, prefer the one v one battles

ABizzel13747d ago

OMG

Just make Budokai 4 already. Keep Budokai 3's ENTIRE gameplay foundation (especially Dragon Arena, and the Level Up system), Add all DBZ + GT characters, and you have my money.

Everything else I'm passing on.

ratcop223747d ago

Why can't they make a good fighting game? LIKE A BUDOKAI 4 perhaps burst limit was the closet thing we got to a amazing dbz to bad there's not Burst limit 2 anytime soon.

A Look Back at Artdink's Games for PlayStation Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In 2017 I wrote a series of articles looking at all of the Vita games released by a number of different publishers, but at the time I was already thinking about how interesting it would be to examine the output of individual developers. Sony’s handheld may not have been a sales success in itself, but certain studios managed to make a living by creating titles for it that targeted the right audiences. None demonstrate this better than Artdink, the quirky Japanese company that has increasingly branched out into anime development in recent years."

A Look at All of the Fighting Games Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "While fully-fledged fighting games on handhelds have achieved varying levels of success in the past, they weren’t really a thing until the PSP. Prior to this there would always be certain concessions to get them running on weaker hardware. Sony’s powerful portable console, however, allowed developers to experiment with new ways of delivering their titles that would sometimes be hugely successful (e.g. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), which in turn meant new games were forthcoming throughout the console’s life. This mantra continued onto the Vita, which received ports of a number of high-profile fighting games, from launch through to the present day.

The ever-expanding industry of eSports has somewhat put a damper on handheld fighting games, as the fanbase moves increasingly towards arcade sticks, perfect latency, and other measures that always ensure a fair fight. That doesn’t mean the Vita doesn’t have access to its fair share of fighting games, though – whether you like 3D arena brawlers, party-friendly multiplayer titles, or pixel-perfect technical 2D fighters, you’re well served by the selection that’s available here, especially when including backwards-compatible PSP & PS1 games."

Why can't they do this for the UK as well.

franwex3285d ago

Make an American PSN; I have an European and Japanese one!

Eidolon3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

Do you get anything good out of the sales they have on JP/EU store?

franwex3284d ago (Edited 3284d ago )

@Eidolon:

No; but Remember when PSN was down for a few months and we got free games? Well; I got all the games for free :P

I think it is more beneficial for Europeans to get US than vice-versa because we get more sales!

Blastoise3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

Everyone on the EU blog asks all the time, but it doesnt seem likely. You can set up a US account on PS4 & PS3 though and play them on your UK account. If you need credit i'd recommend Target as they accept a straight convert in prices through paypal

As for the PSP/Vita games though you're screwed because account switching is a pain in the arse

Caffo013285d ago

amazon.com is good too.. you just need to change the address of your credit card with a fake US one in the card details.

franwex3285d ago

Considering Pier Solar...

Also, why is it more expensive to by Zone of the Enders together than separately?

PygmelionHunter3285d ago

Yeah, I might jump into Pier Solar for that price. Also, been meaning to replay Demon's Souls for a while now.

Dunno about Zone of The Enders, that's just dumb XD

Xof3285d ago

Fair warning: Pier Solar really isn't very good.

Blank3285d ago

Not even six bucks good?? I spent more for crappier games, ill bite anywho though.

Xof3285d ago

Not even $6 bucks good.

Especially when, come on, Suikoden II is on sale too.

franwex3284d ago

I got Suikoden II instead! Thanks for the heads up!

blackblades3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

I said the same thing, it's $12 buying them separate cheaper them buying them together in a collection so stupid. You can get the physical for $13 and even less.

jonboi243285d ago

AAAAAAANNNIMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!
