A new Dragon Ball Z action RPG coming 2019.
- Thread starter PhantomKnight
- Start date
I assume because it was meant to be revealed in a Vjump issue. That stream was prerecorded and didn't expect to announce
The company has a deal with Vjump and has to wait so they have the first news. But news leaks all the time and Vjump leaks early anyway
It won't be a mobile game. They just released Legends a few months ago and Dokkan Battle is still going strong financially despite being almost four years old. It would be foolish to try and dilute the waters with another mobile game to compete with both of them.
I use to love the ones for GBA. Hope this is good whatever it is. Cant get enough Dragon Ball and its universe(s).
I'm always down for another Dragon Ball RPG. Though I do hope it's not just Z cause that would be kind of a letdown.
They would have announced this as Xenoverse 3 if it was Xenoverse 3. There's no reason to have a "project title" if it was a sequel to an existing series.
To be fair, Japanese publishers are pretty stupid about things like this and do often pre-announce sequels under "untitled X project" code names. This could absolutely still be Xenoverse 3. It's just best not to EXPECT it to be that, but to never close your mind to the possibility that it MIGHT be.
Maybe this is an evolution of Xenoverse in a new engine?
Perhaps no more created character and greater focus on each canon characters moveset and tight, responsive gameplay. Hopefully there's still multiplayer/VS outside of story mode

Oh wait, I always thought the Uzumaki Chronicles games were by CC2, when in fact they weren't.
They usually fuck up licensed games according to the gaming community (I still wanna try transformers and to a lesser degree, TMNT). If Bandai Namco supplies a decent budget we could prolly get a decent game from that recaps one or two sagas. Maybe the whole of Z. It's prolly be a good blend of Super Dragon Ball Z (PS2) and Sagas in terms of gameplay depth and environment.
Spitballing a what-if scenario tho
TMNT is awful. Absolutely awful. Transformers is a half-decent Bayonetta clone that runs out of ideas quickly and should've been sold for $30 at launch instead of $60. Platinum is definitely not the best developer for a game like this.
Damn, is it really ? I had some faith.
Out of the Shadows needs way more love than it got. Was a pretty good 4 player Ninja Gaiden like game. Just so much input lag it was more like queuing up moves than them coming off your button press. Still really good once you're used to it tho
It's really a bummer. It should've been a match made in heaven but Platinum very clearly didn't put their best people on the project and Activision didn't give it nearly enough time or funding to let it be good.
By comparison, Transformers is perfectly playable, but you will IMMEDIATELY notice the remnants of the Bayonetta engine at work when you play it, and it really doesn't have much content at all.
I feel you. The potential was so obviously there for TMNT. From watching gameplay, I feel like it just needed maybe 6-8 more months in the oven with some harsh balancing (animation/systems tweaking) and QA.
Transformers definitely looks like a fun romp. An alternate to Bayo/DMC. Can't say for campaign, but the challenge mode/missions look great, seen some great combo/fight videos.
It won't happen but I wouldn't mind an actual branching RPG based on Z. Like instead of just having to follow the story we all know, have it so that you can actually, I dunno, let Goku die and have Gohan be the protag, stuff like that. Yeah it's fan fiction but who wants to just play through a story where we all know what happens?
Probably didn't want to announce a new Action RPG and steal thunder from Vesperia right as it was re-releasing?
I really feel like this is an opportunity to solidify a BEST DBZ game. They already know which games players love. The know the entirety of Z is sacred. Xenoverse 1 and 2 were awesome and easily the best of their Dragonball game Renaissance. I think this game could just be an exercise in great gameplay focused on canon characters . Maybe going thru the story of Z, some Super thrown in since it's hot.
I think the action RPG label is just a reminder that even Budokai 3's story mode was an action RPG in that your stats grew and you earned/rearranged special moves .

Unlikely. There's very little reason for a new DBZ game announcement to compete with a Tales game's release. It's more that they wanted to announce it in a Japanese forum rather than through a Western event or PR mouthpiece.
Underrated gem.Sure I'll take it. Would have preferred a sequel tohowever.
They have my interest for sure! Would be the first DB game I buy in a long while too (assuming it's good)!
The deck is stacked pretty heavily against it for sure. DBZ action games have had a pretty awful track record.
A turn-based RPG in the vein of Attack of the Saiyans but covering other parts of the mythos would've been vastly better.
Action RPG has me really interested. Universe 11 has me really uninterested. So breaking even I guess. Please let's just not make Piccolo a defensive type character like they ALWAYS do. Would have preferred an Attack fo the Saiyans spiritual successor though.
Edit: Never mind, that bit was about DBFZ. Now I'm just curious to how they'll fill out his move set given that he had next to no moves and the few he had were incredibly uninteresting visually.

Fancy that. That rumor that popped up awhile ago that mentioned this was legitimate, from what I recall they also mentioned it being open world too.
I saw someone on twitter mentioning CC2 being the developers (although they had nothing to back it up so it was probably just speculation) that'd certainly be one heck of developer pick for Dragon Ball in this genre.
That's just speculation on my part though.

If I had to take a guess it's probably not to take away V-Jump marketing deals (they usually announce new FighterZ characters in their mag, or new Dragon Ball videogame stuff getting the exclusive before we see Western trailers) and there's that event on next week where they probably wanted to announce it which happens not long after V-Jump releases this month.
That's just speculation on my part though.
Bruce Faulconers OST will sadly never be used in another Videogame officially, him and Funimation parted ways a long time ago. It makes it rather facinating because The Legacy of Goku series is the only Dragon Ball videogames that have had his OST used/adapted and probably ever will.
Funfact about this underrated gem Monolith Soft before being aquired by Nintendo were actually the developers of this. It's such a shame they teased a sequel but it never ended up getting developed.Sure I'll take it. Would have preferred a sequel tohowever.

If I had to guess, there was debate with the japanese branch on what to announce and Japan wanted to be the ones do annoumce the big news at their own time
It would be pretty tough to do an RPG that covers all of Z AND Super, and even if they did, Super would make a terrible framework for an RPG.
Yup ,beerus is a cutscene fight
Freeza has minions but they dont fight goku and vegeta
Tournament
Goku black does not have minions
And the top could work with 70 people to fight
Broly doesnt have minions
Guess freeza foece for broly too
Yeah not very good
I would pay good money to see that design fight in this beatiful game.
Why when you can make a sequel from it?
They will make a DLC on one of the bullshit movies.
