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

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.

Update May 19th, 2009: After 1.5 years of waiting, the first magazine announcement of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 4 has been revealed in Japan, where the next Tenkaichi game for Xbox 360 and PS3 is titled Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast!

Update May 27th, 2009: Read the Dragon Ball: Raging Blast official announcement!

Update June 17th, 2009: Watch the first Dragon Ball: Raging Blast trailer!

Update June 23rd, 2009: Check out the Official Dragon Ball: Raging Blast character list so far.

one of the things i would like to get rid of from bt3 is having nearly all of the characters unlocked at the start of the game because it takes away the fun of havin to unlock them

well, if you ask me, tenkaichi 4 should have online play, every character from Z to GT, all the shadow dragons, gt goten, gt trunks, everyone. and the ability to create an build up your own custom character with custom look and moves. that would be an awsome tenkaichi that i dont think would be boring at all. i think bordom would be the least thing you’d have to worry about. price? well, if it had everything i said, well worth it. so if tenkaichi 4 has all this that i mentioned or a lil less or more. i still say that all the tenkaichi games were well worth their money. but ill see what happens with tenkaichi 4.

i’m hopin those rumours are true. especially wen its rumoured namco bandai are gonna announce it as they are the origional japanese publishers and its a official rumour. so lets just hope. also kingdom hearts 3 is rumoured which is gd. but tenkaichi 4 is the main one hopefully tenkaichi 4 is on ps2 tho coz i may be waitin a year for next gen ps3 and i won’t b able to cope if its jus for next gen.
and for the concerns of if they make it for ps2 then the ps3 version won’t be as gd. wat they shud do is make it fisrt for the ps3. make it as gd as they can using everything the ps3 can. and after they finish the ps3 version. they shud then make it for ps2 and make it as close to the ps3 version as possible even if some systems have to be missed out. i won’t mind coz wen i get next gen i will re buy it on next gen wen i get it ne way.crash mind over mutants is doing this. they are first making the wii version and once that is done they are going to make ps2 and 360 versions. 360 with better stuff and ps2 as closely gd to wii version as possible. i mean don’t get me wrong i know we shud step up to next gen sooner or later but i still think there is a year or maybe 2 left of ps2 as ps3 is still more expensive for me and others.
but they better not reduce characters for a ps2 version coz frankly extra characters is one of the main things i luk forward to in a new dbz game.

P.S. BUT THEY BETTER NOT REDUCE CHARACTERS FOR A PS2 VERSION COZ FRANKLY EXTRA CHARACTERS IS ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS I LUK FORWARD TO IN A NEW DBZ GAME
