Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 is already talked about by the game’s creators. They mention always listening to fan comments and admit that was the reason why they added online multiplayer on Wii and many more characters in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 after Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on PS2 and Wii. One of the features still missing is a character creator, but that might change in 2008.
To quote Atari producer Donny Clay: “Unfortunately there are some things that are requested by several different fans that we aren’t able to do just yet. For example, one of things we get asked for quite a bit is a completely custom character system from the ground up. Meaning players want to be able to build their own character with their own moves and their own look. This is definitely something I would love to do as well, we just haven’t had the chance to get this into a game yet. Don’t worry though I won’t forget.”
That should come as no surprise since the upcoming Dragon Ball Online MMO game also features a character creator tool that allows you to make your own Saiyan, Human or Namek.
In recent interviews the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 team mentions working on a next-gen game and being a fan of the Xbox 360, so my guess would be that the next DBZ game is coming to not just Wii and PS2, but also Xbox 360 and PS3. Makes sense for them to want to make the graphics look even better and have more online features. Throw in the character creator on top of even more than the 161 characters in the last game and you’ve got yourself Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4.
As the official DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi blog says: “When we’re coming up with a new DBZ game, we first think about what the fans on the forums and message boards have been asking about.” So what do you want in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4?
PS: There’s also a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai “Burst Limit” game in development for PS3 and Xbox 360.

okay here we go.. first and for most ORIGINAL MUSIC and i think each character should have his own music like vegeta’s awesome super saiyan music when he first ascend’s or who can forget ginyu’s music!? i think when a charachter transforms his music should take over sort of making a statement to the other character! POWER LEVELS what’s dragon ballz without power levels? make it to where you can unlock different trainers then train on there planets relating to the show and have it to where the more you accomplish in a battle the higher your power lever becomes like dodging or landing combos all giving you points at the end and make it as if one charcter has a power level of 1,000,000 and the other at 20,000 its like hercule fighting cell! but make it hard and a lot of fighting/training to get high power levels! CHARACTERS i dont know about any of you but i fell in love with dbz not db or dbgt so if you have to take away from chacters(perferibly db) to add bardocks soilders and turles soilers and extc. then by all means do it.i would love to play the game and be able to use turles and his guys up against say cooler and his! also you ruined captain ginyu by not being able to steal the body of your oponent!whats the the point of afficting damage to your self?also add kid vegeta (who doesnt want to take on kid goku with him?) oh and please add super goku and ultra goku and super trunks??STAGES rather than have adiferrent stages it would be cool if you just had earth or namek or space or otherword being able to access all places in the one you pick during battle! make them fully destructible like craters and when a player powers up near water it becomes like a vortex,have rocks floats up have stronger (higher power levels)characters making more chaos powering up and please please use in-game transformations. i cant stand when it switches to the video!for example when cell kills trunks then vegeta fly’s in and as he is doing it he turns ssj how cool is that and make is when they do they gain full energy a life bar and a spirit gauge(just an example doesnt have to be all three
)prompinting players to want to start off at a lower state to make the battles more epic and when a super saiyan is about to die and he gets stunned make him descend to his natural form?start everyone out with 5 gages of health no less no more and depending how strong you are will determine how much life you truely have. more costumes and show them when you select your character.make it so a player can put the character in almost any costumes or atleast make saiyan armor for every one! this alows the gamer to make up his own teams !make brolly turn great ape all swole and stuff AWESOME!! make the spirit gauge fill up according to how well your fighter is doing.every attack should be able to be countered.punch blast back at players,block blast with hands pushing it back.get rid of the few seconds it take to send another blast if you just sent one!if he has has the energy let him shoot it!when in max mode you should be able to shoot unlimited fireballs! costums should break up acording to how the fight is going like with punches and other blast not just a special. and make the androids gain energy faster(when not attacking) like others do when there powering up! make the lock on more of a factor in the battle. say a guy goes under water or hides behind buildings or in the forest somewhere down below after youve been fighting in the sky and then sends a surprise attack fom somewhere you didnt think he was at would be cool! make scouters a capsule you can buy for characters who dont have them or cant sense and make it when a character is way more powerful and hits max mode it destsoyers the scouter on the opponints face but make super scouters countering this taking up more slotsmake.add the abillity to hide power levels as well so you can hide from your opponent say hit knocks from the sky to the water or trees in a forest on earth or where ever!the characters should talk more in the battle and scream and yell according to circumstance and dont make the destroyed items dissapear in the game.unrealistic ! ONLINE i want to fight people everywhere to prove im the strongest! make online where you can go from planet to planet finding the strongest power levels and challange them. say theirs 1200,people in a room( or namek) and none fit to your likes simply get in your space ship and fly to earth and see whoes on that planet like dbz bt2 when you can travel the earth only online..scouters online would allow you to see how strong your aponent is and his abillities. have two different ranking systems.one for the character(his power level)and another for the player (ranking online).have online tournments!! and please add the otherworld tournement stage!

as for a story mode or create a charactor i would much more like to have what i said added to the current game! i have all the the other titles to play a storymode.ONLINE is the way to go!! it will blow away call of duty and if a create a charactor is possible then heck yeah but not at the expense of the new features i sated!!

I’d be pissed if Atari wasnt looking at these requests
May 9th, 2008 at 10:48 am
i think that when they transform they should acctualy bend over and tighten ther muscles like they do in the cartoon
May 9th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
you cant forget about manual teleporting and dodging whenever you want as long as you have the power to,you should be able to pick two or more phrases to say during battle as a taunt beginning battle taunt during battle taunt and finishing battle taunt they have this already but im talkin manually and customizable,AND NO MORE five to seven hit combo during han 2 han either punches or kicks and mix them how you want to combo them so have a punch button and kick button, better sound and visuals more like the anime would make it more intense like BIG FAN said

a few thing that would cool is when you fuse, a cutscene should show up showing the charecters talking. they should also put the the fusion time more longer because in the last game they would fuse to quickly which is unrealistic. they should also add charecters like gt trunks and gt goten as well as gt vegeta and the ice shenron. i strongly agree that we should be able to play in the other world tournement considering you can do the tournement with out evan playing in it!!!! i would also consider putting in three super secret charecters such as kid vegeta, the great ape before they go into ssj4 and mystic gohan with the z sword. my final suggestion would be double finishers(likethe one’s from super sonic warriors 2) cause it would make a lot of sense to have cell and frieza on the same team and then the double death beam or krillin, gohan and gotens triple kamehameha.
