First Dragon Ball: Raging Blast trailer

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, the next DBZ game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (due Fall 2009) will deliver a host of enhanced gameplay features, including completely destructible environments and HD graphics.

Developed by acclaimed game studio SPIKE, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast culls over 70 characters, including transformations, from the Dragon Ball Z tome to battle against each other throughout pivotal moments in the Dragon Ball series. This compares unfavorably to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 featuring 162 playable characters with their own movements and combos. Dragon Ball Z aficionados will be able to relive epic battles as their favorite heroes and villains from the series and also experience alternate universe moments that were left out of the original anime and manga series.

New interactive and destructible environments lend an enhanced layer of intensity to the battle as characters can now take massive damage from being smashed into mountains, buildings and debris during intense battles ensuring epic Dragon Ball Z signature moves are delivered faithfully with devastating results. On top of classic signature moves, characters also benefit from a new “Super Rising” special attack system which allows players to quickly fly upwards throughout massive battle stages, adding a new layer of strategy and tactics to the melee.

Watch the first Dragon Ball: Raging Blast trailer.

Looking at the video, you can see Goku in his Super Saiyan 2 transformation. So unlike Burst Limit only going up to the Cell Saga, Raging Blast will include the Majin Buu Saga and probably more too.

i agree 100% with ean that u guys should deffinetily put in every character and plz put the whole story in the game cause i bet u that if u do that then u will have alot more people buying the game then u would without all that stuff.but i was wondering if u guys did or can put in the character creator that we can select our own moves and blasts aswell?:)and the story mode should be like budokai 3,and that u can transform into any super saiyan mode that u want while flying around.iam very sorry that iam asking u guys of so many things but it has been my dream to play a game just like this and i hope that u guys can make it happen.:D and one last thing,i was wondering that if u can make our character in story mode,when ur flying around(if u make the story mode like budokai 3’s)that he can land anywhere on earth and can walk around and interact with people and things,and that we can fly anywhere we want at anytime time,and can u guys plz put some blood into the game,and can u make the game more hardcore like bone cracking sounds for powerfull punches and that kinda stuff.and if a character gets hit with a kamehameha that he will atleast bleed or lose a arm or so like that,depending on what attack or how strong it was.plus that the character should have alot of his clothes ripped making it look even more ruthless and fun. and finally i was hoping that u guys could make our character in story mode or 2 player mode be able to fly around freely,and have the ability to grab and reflect blast right back even big one’s like kamehameha or the spirit bomb,and one last thing i was hoping that u guys can make a tag team mode in that game so there can be four people fighting at once or one at a time and it might sound like we won’t be able to control our character when there is a 4 man tag team goin on at once cause we won’t know who to attack and how,it will be messed up,but i was hoping that u guys would have a idea on how to control that.well thank you guys very much for the very fun and entertaining dragonball z games and i hope that u guys can reply to me about my comment and can do ur best if at all possible to do what i’ve explained.THANK YOU!!!!!!!!:D (BEGGING YOU GUYS VERY MUCH)PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do like the idea of more characters and more into the series than before. I also like the idea of customization, free flight, and several at once multiplayer atmosphere. For the free flight, perhaps dividing the cities with a certain amount of landscape around it being accessible. If the player flies outside of the border, then a load would pop up to load the next area. This way both win. The gamers get more freedom and the developers can keep hold of a less severe design all smacked together. For the customization I picture a soul calibur style and for the attacks, it could be a design close to the song generator on guitar hero. You could have so many frames, choose size of attack, color, voice by recording through mike if player wants to, and additional sound effects that can be added. All of which would need to be fit in the frame amount and then afterwards you can playback the preview and see it at work. The team effect I picture wrestling style where the wrestlers are all in the same ring. The setting can be either with or without hurt effects on the own teammates. Cloth effects falling apart, cuts, possible limb destruction (maybe depending on the character) all sounds DBZ as well. If you want to create an amazing DBZ game, my best suggestion is to take the show and literally try and place the gamer into that world. While in the game, forget about reality… it’s time for Dragonball Z!

all i have to say is i understand you guys keep coming out with draginball z games and they all different. what i dont understand is why dont you guys follow exactly how the cartoon goes. Maybe you guys think “oh well theyve seen the cartoon why make them go through it again” no dont thin that, we are fans of the cartoon and very big fans of the game. in my opinon id love to actually see the game play out the exact same scenes from the carton. Also make the game go in order please, i hate that you gotta select a different course to fight secret missions. one more thing i dont understand the meaning when you say theres 161 characters, it confused me because why is goku, super sayin 1,2,3 and 4 equal 5 characters cant you just put exacly 161 characters, we all know theres more then 161 characters in the whole series. Im just sayin id like to play a dbz game that ill never get tired of. Be better then having to play the whole series over and over and over again just in different ways and words. Thanks

come on why is everyone asking for more characters? I only want them to put in characters that are relevant to the actual story of DBZ(beside SS3 Brolly and Vegeta) its wasteful to include characters no one ever plays with(Hercule being my prime example)so I can see ehy they include 70

completely agree that ss 1,2,3 of a character should not count as 4 players.. its annoying and power moves should have more of an effect.. oppenents get straight up after them with little hint of damage.. it should eg.. they get up slowly this could be while your player recharges from his power move. also defense should be more of a factor not just holding the block button.. maybe something like u hold the L1 button and tap the punch button to avoid punches or the kick button to avoid kicks.. and it actually avoids them not just holds a guard up..
