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

18 November 2007

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!

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!!
dbz fan

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!!!

its awesome

please can they HAVE TEEN GOTEN

another thing they should add is more dragons.Why is there only two evil dragons when there were like 7 in the series, the power up time should be longer (when transforming), and better animations for example why is pikkons Thunder Blast attck so limited.

I think it is a good time to add a charcter creator i mean come on if your gonna end the seoson with people whating it to return so they mod your original games you might as well add a charcter creator i could almost guarantee it would sell.

and another thing that would be cool would be if they could add everyones theme song

F*ck yes
I want to be able to pick all the themes from Funimation’s DragonballZ

If they do have that
I would play Ginyu’s Transformation, Gohan’s anger (vs Buu), and most of all Ginyu Force theme? the F-ing Best
