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.

Well, what me and alot of the dbz fans i know would like to see is an all out brawl mode with multiple characters. Sort of like Def Jam. Or on James bond. With the board or stage alot bigger though and some sort of radar. Where it can be two on two or everyone for themselves. I know that would take alot but we think it would give it another side to look forward too. Great job by the way.

I just got done playing Godzilla Unleashed

That too is made from atari
It also has co-op and 1v1v1v1
v=versus
I think that If atari used the concept of co-op from godzilla unleashed and tweek it so that its still Tenkaichi’s 3rd person veiw
That would be an exelent concept for tenkaichi

If memory is an option for the discs
I think they should just use anime scense. I like anime scenes better because if you notice in tenkaichi, when a charater is tired in the cutsene, the pant the same way. Just make sure stroy mode has every battle.

Oh I also have another great co-op Idea

You know when gohan faught beam battle wit cell, the player should do that in the story mode.

I mean like 2 whole minutes of rotating the analog. Around when the 1st minute is over. Vegeta should be on your team and you should see him use his big bang on cell breaking his leg

And please I think this is the most very imprant thing

*Characters NEED to have MORE than THREE moves*

Frieza (final Form) on the show did these moves

I might die this time(orb thingy he trapped goku in)
Death Beam
Fissure Slash
Destroy Planet
Death Ball
Move he use to kill krillin
And probally more

WHY IN THE HECK are there only 3 moves if he did all of those in the show.

Another thing.
Goku’s Kaiken should be a transformation again
ON BT3 it only last about 60 sec

And I know alot of people wont agree with this, but I think there should only be 3 gokus

db
dbz
gt

thats all
Then that way spike will be forced to make more moves for the characters and It will also save them some memory

Well
Im out
Bout to play BT3

PS. Who doesnt agree that the “Ginyu Force Theme” is the best on DBZ =)

Needs work on.... fan

As i was saying in my previous comment on page 173 the environment needs interaction. It pisses me off when broly slams the crued out of people into the ground and hte ground doesnt break. And mountains shouldn’t shatter they should break in 3 blows or depending how hard the attack. Dinosuars should walk around land, u should be able to fly around the city with moving people. When the cutscene of the earth being damageed is shown they should make different types of of cutscenes as well as ingame stage switching. Cmon in Kami lookut u slam ur oppenent but they dont fall onto earth. When Major is done the earth should explode and u should switch stages to other world or fight in space, things like that. Charecters should bleed a bit and make giant impacts on the ground effect the earth. MOst importantly co-op. Sometimes u really get tired og just fighting ur friends. See my thoughtws on co-op on page 173.

I know its long but its important

there was a site saying that burst limit AND dragonball z budokai tenkaichi 4 were both upcoming games!!

heres another idea….

they should make 1st time transformations along time to transform.

for instance: when goku turns SS for the first time, like he did in frieza saga, they should put it where he is powering up so much that the ground cracks and shakes around him etc. also he should be yelling hes guts out!!! especially when he goes SS3 he yells for like 20 seconds!!

same goes for all other characters that transform. instead of a 1 second transformation it needs to take bout 10-15 seconds or longer!!

WHAT DO YALL THINK!!!
