wow the screens are just... mindblowing

[sinncross]

The graphics do indeed look very nice

[firefoxprime]

Now "this" is what a dbz game should look like.

[Yi-Long]

... I'd rather see them go for a cell-shaded look, both for the characters as well as the backgrounds, to stay much closer to Toriyama's design.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 showed how close you can get to looking exactly like the anime it's based on.

[Wolfie]

Wow looks really nice but arcade only?

[Sonyslave3]

man they better bring this game over here.

[Pedantic91]

This was taken from Andriasang:

"On the hardware front, the game makes use of the PlayStation 3-based System 357 arcade board. Controls include a lever and five buttons: search, guard, attack, and energy sphere ("kidan")."

Could we expect a console port ?

more so this is how it should have looked being made
properly on a system capable of handling it.
But multiplats always look better on the box right.

This shows how games are being held back

[ash_divine]

That's actually funny, because the first thing I thought when I saw the screens was that it looked like a ps3 exclusive DBZ game. Hopefully it does get a port.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

best dbz game ever?

[Psychic_Waffle]

I don't know if this is embarrassing or not, but I just can't figure out how to play these games.

I try and then I just get destroyed.

Happy thanks feastin gamers

[sjaakiejj]

Didn't think this looked all that good to be honest. No cell shading, some blocky textures.. Good lighting though, but generally the characters look like plastic. In some angles it looks good though.

[CraigUK]

You want another cel-shaded Dragonball Z game? They have been made to death, there is only so far you can go with cel shading.

[Coolmanrico]

Agree with Craig, if it was cell shaded I wouldn't even give this game a second look.

[braane]

DBZ games always lack a leveling system. It's what they really need to make them greatly playable. DBO will never make it to America it seems.

[DiLeCtioN]

I see they've gone back to the roots.

IMO Budokia 1 and 3 were the best

[swishersweets20031]

budokia 3 is the best DBZ game ever.

[Coolmanrico]

First reaction: Oh great another DBZ game, didn't Raging Blast come out weeks ago.

Reaction after seeing the photos: Whoa, the art style looks pretty cool.Is there four players out at the same time. Freeza's finger beam hitting Krillan, Vegeta and Goku! Now I'm interested.

[Magic_Spatula]

If this plays like a 3d version of DBZ Legends and gets released on consoles. It will be a Day 1 buy for me. DBZ Legends was AWESOME SAUCE!!!!!

[gano]

i've been saying that.
the best dbz games are dbz2, hyper dimension,
and the king legends.
legends is THE dbz game.
