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!

To Old School Fan:

I get what you are saying
Gohan did punch Frieza to death without even trying on the Fusion Reborn movie

But still

On Tenkaichi 3
Pick Nappa (normal no customes)
Then pick Goku Gt(normal no customes)

You will see that Nappa’s health is way more than Goku’s and that shouldnt be

If you play against the Com, It would be better to have hadicaps because you can set it to what ever you want without having to use the game’s health slots.

Heres what I think would be awesome in a DBZ game, what do you think?. Power Levels, each character should have their real power levels from the show. If you are Frieza in his second form, who has a power level of 1,000,000 fighting Goku(Early) who has a power level of 9000! Then He should be no match to you. His punches should have very, very little effect if any at all. Just think of the Pokemon games for Gmaeboy, it’s just a little math added to it. But in this mode you would have to be careful! With one punch or blast you could easily kill your oppeonet. Thats why I think it would be more fun and challegening.

Another thing I would like to have is real EXPLOSIONS with real dirt and dust and craters. HUGE MUSHROOM CLOUDS from blast. That would be extremly awsome. To see the effect of your blast create a huge crater in the ground and a tall mushroom cloud that doesn’t dissappear in two seconds but really lingered for a while.

Another think I would like to have in the game would be Create a fighter. I don’t need to explain that.

Free roaming all over planets. THIS WOULD BE TOOOO TIGHT. You could freely roam around a city and blow up stuff and have people walking around in the CITY ARENA and they scream and run when your fighting. and maybe you can capture one of them. And make Goku or another good guy back off.

Another thing is DEATH MOVES. I HATE IT when I get hit with the detructo disk and don’t atomaticly die.

Co-Op a co-op mode would be amazing. Double team a mighty foe.

Thank you
I mentioned the samething a while back in April(i think)

there should be death moves
Like when your oponent is on the last bar of health you do a death move
Similar to Marvel Nemisis

Also there cant be any power levels
It would be cool if people with scouters could scout levels, but you can put numbers on power levels

Broly’s powerlevel is consitently rising
When goku first fought frieza he went all out
Now by the end of Buu Saga he could kill him with one blast

Also there should be people running in the city maps

Although the Free-roam might take up a lot of data
Besides there will be free roam in Dragonball online

Ihave a question. Do they have room on ONE game disk for all these new features. I hope we are’t asking for alto Spike and Atari.

I still think they should do POWER LEVELS. MUSHROOM CLOUDS. CO-OP. CREATE A CHARACTER. Free roaming PEOPLE at least if we can’t freely roam.

I agree with that Death move idea, ex: isn’t destructo disk supposed to cut someone up instead of just hit them and they fall to the ground?

Destructo Disk=Destroy something
duh
DominicThaDBZFan

I hope they will have enough memory
All these Ideas are good

Maybe they could put the main game on one disc and Character Creation on the other

Create you character on disc 2
Save it to your system
and Load it on disc 1 so you can play with them
