Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 might feature a character creator

Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 1 for PS2Dragon 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.

Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for PS2To 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.

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for PS2In 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.

    dats rite alex plz have hatchyack.

    now i’d just like to say enough wid the character sayin which i am pretty sure the creators now know who we want and now lets concentrate on the story mode.
    u shud be able to free roam a like gta but u can fly and its the dbz world and not just a city. and while u do the main saga’s u shud be able to do mini missions like save people from local distruptions like robberies. this should be done in free roam form. u do these mini fights in a free roaming way like in mortal kombat shoalin monks.
    its shud also hav rpg elements so u get stronger.

    now seen as evryone always mention characters i would like to see eis shenron my main one who i want in the next game.
    i also want hatchyack like i said earlier. general rildo, gt gten and gt trunks and also ledgic. those are my deffinates and then u cud add any1 u want. but those others are must have plz.

    ps have character creator

  • Special Kamehameha

    they should put these people on the game

    GT Goten (Base, SS)
    GT Trunks (Base, SS)
    Kid Pan
    GT Vegeta (Base, SS, SS2, SS4)
    Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy
    General Rildo (1st, 2nd, and 3rd form)
    Sigma Force Cannon
    Haze Shenron
    Oceanus Shenron (1st and true form)
    Rage Shenron
    Lord Luud
    Eis Shenron
    Naturon Shenron
    Baby
    Baby Bulla
    Kid Krillen

    And they should put the CREATE-A-CHARACTER MODE and like on the replay mode u should be able to put words on the screen like they are talking to each other that would make the CREATOR MODE even better by picking voices for ur own people

  • Special Kamehameha

    and ledgic cuz he was fresh

  • sa dbz fan

    yh make voices for create a character and don’t just have like couple voice choices. u shud have the choice of voice from the characters already there so u can have vegeta’s voice for example. this is for the fans who like the a particular voice from the anime and want it. this is also easy for the voice guys to do. but also have plenty of other voice choices. so voices that the characters don’t have. this will be good for people who want there character to be completely unique.

    You know how future trunks gets a super saiyan2 in the dbz season 3 (the dvd’s). I think that you should put him in the game. I really think that you shouldn’t put in any extra made up charicters in the game. I also think that trunks should be the one who defeats mecha frieza, like in the episode. I really think that you should put ss2 future trunks and bio broly in the game. I also think that you should have one of the outfits a gt outfit for the z fighters. I also think that you should have to use ss2 future trunks in story mode. I also think that each stage should have it’s own destroyed version instead of going to the ruined earth every time. I also think that people should have more than three special attacks, and that the stages should be a bit more bigger. Please put ss2 future trunks in the game.

  • dbgt fan

    i also think that for dbz budikia tenkiachi 4 their should be an android17 gt and a normal android17 and that for team fights they should be able to fuse in order to orm super17

  • michael

    why don’t they just do the story mode like buu’s fury? i want character creation just like everyone else, but they should also work on the story mode as well. the only good story mode was in the first budokai.
    i agree with who ever said the story mode should be like gta. it needs to be more open. maybe you could use your created character in story mode… that would be cool.

  • dbgt fan

    If you put an android17GT version you should put him in two outfits and in story mode you should have two android17GT’s than you have to face the z fighters in their gt outfits with super17. After that in the next stage it should be your ss4 goku and you have to fight super17. After that you should have to fight super17 again with goku normal becuase super17 defeats goku in the episode and you fight super17 with goku and android18 and than you have to hit super17 with the dragon fist and than you win!

  • alex

    more outfits, more characters,gt goten, gt vegeta, gt trunks, teens future trunks, turles henchmen, coolers henchmen, regular saiyans from planet vegeta, bardock soldiers, must have hatchyack,vegeta jr, goku jr,legic, rildo all forms,everybody dhould have their on unique super finisher, have lots of varied blast 1s and blast 2s try not to make any of them tha same,more stages,OMG y did they make tha story mode so short in T3 for, go back to tha long story mode like in T1 n T2, makes tha game more fun,more indept and try to have almost every battle in story mode n definitly add more battles to tha wat if saga,more alot more game modes,change tha potara boost ups cuz u barely can put any thing on ur characters,MUST HAVE 4 players able to play at tha same time on one screen, bojacks henchmen, lord slug henchmen,android 14 n 15,alot more stages like try to have like every single area that they faught on in tha dbz series(iam talking bout atleast 40 n up in stages),dont give ppl wack sup finishers,Example: sum ppl like nova shenron,majuub,frieza,cooler n sum othas cant name all now, make tha super finishers more impact,also make tha game more impact like powering up, wanna see rocks floating, ground cracking, ground recieving impact so that tha players feel like tha characters when they play, no same super finisher try not to make them tha same,make more than just 3 type of moves, more impact in tha fighting,like wen punch in stomach their fist goes in their stomach n u can sort of feel tha impact, make tha areas more destructable,every planet has their own ruin type for wen tha planet is destroyed, plz goku gt normal super finisher doesnt even look powerful, that finisher should have a big impact wen hit by hit,No Af characters cuz that will make tha game dumb,instead of waiting to get hit by sum1s special inorder to have damage cloths u should be able to choose damage cloths in tha start of ur battle if u want,tranformations should be one of tha exculsive parts in tha game,llike broly transformations should definitly destroy tha area surrounding him due to his power,tha characters should talk duing tha matches,alot more different type of clashes, like grapple clash that piccolo n 17 and tha ssj goku n frieza did,should be able to deflect a beam if tha person deflecting has alot of energy stored up,deflecting beams should require energy,wen sum1 throw punches at u, u should be able to dodge and block like tha cartoon,depending on how fast tha punches come at u, not like tha way its now cuz wen ur getting hit u cant do anything but take tha hits(definitly change)
