The upcoming fighter for the Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 is indeed being developed by Dimps and has actually been in development for a bit (Dimps isn't exactly rusty; the Shin Budokai and Arcade Impact games have kept them busy). As Julian stated in the latest podcast episode, it will be featured in playable form at the upcoming Jump Festa this coming weekend. There are two screen-caps over on the website; one looks like something either from a cut-scene or super-move, while the other is that Goku vs. Freeza shot we've seen.

Tidbits

1. It's been in development for a while!
2. It's been confirmed that it will in fact be playable at the Jump Fiesta this coming weekend!!!! Anybody say....VIDS!

The red text means:
"Lets be patient, the developers have promised us a trailer in the next days".

I have a feeling this trailer will be presented at next weekend's convention (if this information is true off course).

1. DragonBall Z games do indeed suck.

2. The DragonBall franchise as a whole is downright horrible. Honestly, DragonBall Z is the sole reason why I hated anime for years until I watched Rurouni Kenshin, .hack//, Kikaider, Akira, and Hayao Miyazaki's films.

lol. kikaider was horrible kenshin was overblown and miyazakis films are overhyped and boring.

 

[Demon Within]

Budokai 3 was the peak of the fighting games. It got everything right. The tenkiachi games are TERRIBLE!! Heres hoping this games goes in the B3 category.

BTW super dbz sounded bad so i didnt play.

Oh and keep DBZB3 crazy cut scene special moves, its what i liked about the game.

 

[Nathan]

High-res Scans available on Jeuxfrance.com.

 

[mystic gohan]

personally im looking forward to this game i love all the dbz games except for final bout and i heard bad things about sagas good job it never came out over here

 

[hippie_hunter]

lol. kikaider was horrible kenshin was overblown and miyazakis films are overhyped and boring.

Urge to kill rising!

 

[Nathan]

lol

 

[mystic gohan]

wow its looking really good, i havent played Tenkaichi 3 yet as it isnt out in the UK untill january but this game looks graphic wise a hell of alot better than Tenkaichi 2 i cant wait for it to come out

 

[The Bruce]

If you DBZ fans have a PS3 I would love if I could get your PSN name added to my console? Could be cool to have someone on my list for this game...

I'm from Europe.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Sorry, is this in the same style as the decent 2D games or the lame 3D massive environment games?

 

[Nathan]

It's being developed by Dimps, the same people who developed the first 3 Budokai fighting games. So yeah, it's probably going to be more like the 2D Fighter.

 

[GL1]

It looks very good... I just strongly dislike the TV show "Dragonball Z," most notably because it was so long and pointlessly drawn out, like they turned a soap opera, where a tiny bit or nothing happens each episode) into a fight.

A great way to make very little story go a long way, but as an objective observer, it was very, VERY cheap, and I resent that. Perhaps if a DBZ game makes game of the year I'll consider playing it.

i love DBZ and all but i know that will never happen, too many dislike the anime so much that it puts them off the games.

 

[GL1]

they don't seem to dislike it at IGN

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, the 3rd Budokai game got a surprisingly good score on IGN. Got a Solid 8. Even Gamespot gave it a 8.2.

 

[mystic gohan]

it did, wow im suprised. i thought people were generally against the dbz games

Some new Info from the Atari Boards.

12/23/07

From "Greg" at Apforums

DBZ Burst is un-****ing real. It's like I predicted in the thread, just like you controlling the animation. All this in HUGE flowing environments. Words fail to describe, it's unlike anything you've ever seen outside of rendered cutscenes. I will try to play it tomorrow since I'll be arriving much earlier. I saw Yamucha, Vegeta, Tenshinhan and Goku available. Scheduled for release in Spring.

He got in line to play DBZ Burst Limit: It's only a 20 minute wait.

Greg: "Words fail to describe the graphics. It's a DBZ fan's dream-come-true. The in-game graphics look better than the character select screen drawings. Attacks can send opponents into new areas."

From IUP.COM

Bandai Namco also had some big playable debuts. Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit, playable on both the 360 and PS3 had awesome visuals, but didn't really seem to do too much to the DBZ formula.

12/25/07

From Greg at Apforums

Started with 1p VS 2p or 1p VS Com. I chose Com. I dunno if it would even let me choose VS 2p.

Characters available were:

Goku, Krillin, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, Nappa & Vegeta.

Backgrounds available on my machine were Raditz' capsule landing site & Yamcha's desert at sunset. I saw a stormy craggy wasteland and the waterfall scene I mentioned before on other machines.

There does seem to be an assist system, I did not see any evidence of it.

There was a system involving different strengths you can choose that come in sets of three, I only had ten minutes and was taking my time with menus so I didn't ponder over it too long. Next was selecting your ultimate move. Krillin had like Kienzan and Giant Kienzan and something else I didn't read since Giant Kienzan sounded just dandy. Goku had Kame Hame Ha but screw that I said, and went with Genki Dama. I chose Yamcha for Com's assist? (again not sure of specifics or if the system was even in play)

I've said it countless times but the BG's are breath-taking. In the same respect, they're terribly dissapointing at this stage being far less interactive than anything witnessed on the PS2 or Wii versions. I noticed a few trees but never interacted with them and couldn't send anyone crashing into the beautiful mountains in the BG. Let's hope it's work in progress.

The graphics...just...just amazing. I mean really folks. This is it. While the mouth movements still look somewhat off, they aren't the South Parkian flapping jaws of Sparking. But the models. THE MODELS!!!! ACK!!!!

I'm telling everyone now, until there is a HD download available of the trailer, you have not seen anything.

So the game.

Well, it reminds me of what I vaguely remember of Sparking. Just seems a lot more tight than I recall. The responses are somewhat laggish but I think that's part of the overall system. Someone might push 'Attack' expecting a quick Street Fighter jab but it doesn't work that way. Going into the command menu I could see a list of interesting input combinations that could be not only strung together, but also countered in a number of interesting Dragonballish ways. Then when I tried out some of the commands, even though the initiation was ever so slightly delayed, once started, it became this chain of furious punches kicks, etc. etc. which could end in a number of ways. The AI was not terribly intelligent but since I was playing next to 6-year olds I can imagine there was a reason for that. There were a series of meters and gauges. I didn't bother with them because....well because I didn't want to bother with them. They seemed to fill automatically. I could tell one was a ki guage because everytime I did anything ki-related ( O button) it went down only to build back up. Square did attacking aaaaaand I didn't bother with X or triangle much at all. All I did was initiate a combo which put down the Com giving me a chance to initiate Genki Dama (Up + O) and the longer I held O the bigger it got. If the Com wasn't down/distracted, they'd respond in turn with a weaker ultimate move by charging less time than me and damaging me.

I saw other players that upon clashing at the exact time initiated an in game cut scene (very much like the show) showing their faces up close via split screen which initiated a brief power struggle via button input the intricacies of which were lost on me.

In initiating a particularly long combo I scared myself as I sent the Com flying into the sky were we finished the rest of our battle. A number of ingame cutscenes were sprinkled throughout (I'm assuming corresponding to life as Krillin was saying, "I can't win if it goes on like this!") and I also saw other players were able to initiate some truly fancy ultimate moves HOWEVER, I'm not sure if they were real time or cinematic, THAT'S HOW GOOD IT LOOKS. What I assumed was a cutscene on a players' screen may very well have been them merely charging a move just like I charged Genki Dama. I dunno, we'll see I guess.

Anyway, I kicked Krillin's ass twice with a Genki Dama finish twice, end of story.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

If this sticks to the 2D style, I'm in.

But as for those "AMAZIN" graphics, I'm not really getting anything special from the pics above, just a higher resolution version of budokai3.

Hippie Hunter, you still always make lists.
