Holy crap, I haven't played any DBZ games since the Super Famicom, but these graphics look fantastic.

And it will probably just be the same as all of the other DBZ fighting games only with slightly thicker cel-shading. They should make some kind of third person fighter so you can free roam around the whole planet blowing stuff up and destroy buildings.

well, this is good news, i love DBZ, just not that big on the Tenkaichi series. i like the 3d fighting of it, but i liked the more side screen fighting better. you could do more, but for this if it is gonna over the shoulder fighting online, i would like to see 4 player fighting and tag fighting, that would be awesome.

crap, according to wikipedia right now, the only characters it's gonna have is up to Cell in the story, like the first Budokai game on ps2 and gc. they better add more characters for the next generation consoles.

This is super old news, though those are some new screen shots.

I've been playing Budokai 1 all the way to Tenkaichi 3 for the PS2, and it's about time DBZ comes to the winning side.

This sounds awesome; but will it live up to the Wii games? I really like Tenkaichi 3 on the Wii and the online battles are smooth as well. Graphics on PS2 and Wii are around the same, but will better graphics make for a better game? Time will tell. ^^

Wasn't there a video for this game a month or two ago? =/

Regardless, it could be interesting.

If it's half as good as Budokai Tenkaich 2 was, this'll be great.

I agree with Zef and Blueberryninja on the fact that this game is probably gonna suck because theres still no free roam and atari sucks. and on the matter of charactors the series has sucked sense after freeza anyway so fuck cell and the pink fag.

Watched the show ever since I was young. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Kinda hoping for alot of playable characters, like the Tenkaichi series has done wonders in producing. A fan boys dream come true.
