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.

The roster used in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was very nice with the exception of some of those utterly useless characters… That’s right, I’m talking about people like General Blue, Dr. Wheelo, Garlic Jr., and Master Roshi. It would be nice to see this game feature all the real fighters plus a nice combat system and some worth while unlockables or customization. I’d like to see a character creator very much as long as there were lots of choices. Outfit customization for the other characters would be awesome too.

My friend I love Dbz. We wish there was the complete story line.
You should put the same amount of characters or more than Tenkaichi three. The grapichs look great. We would like to have a large selection of body parts to make our own characters. Thank you,
please think about it.

My friend and I love Dbz. We think you can make a few changes.
There should be more charcters or the same amount as Tenkaichi
three. The graphics are great. We love the online play. We also
wish the game had the full story mode. You should have a large
selection of clothes body parts and attacks to use to make
your own characters. Ex-elemental powers. Thank you for listening.
