A Dragon Ball Action RPG Is In Development

yeah it was dumb not to announce this in the event but instead they decided to announce a game we all knew was coming out anyway

sometimes you look at what these big publishers are doing and think "what idiot is running this"

I've been dreaming of playing a DB action RPG for two decades now. If it turns out good, I'll be over the moon!

by the way i posted the tweet a few hours ago in the previous article but if your interested in what it says, here it is

Is it going to retain the graphic style similar to FighterZ or Xeno?

Or will it go for something more Jump Force esque?

Maybe go with something like Earth's Special Forces; take Jump Force and play it on Low graphic settings.

Maybe it will be like nier automata, small open world game with heavy emphasize on action and 1 on 1 big fight for the boss.

@Deadlyblack God I hope it doesn't look like Jump Force.

@ShogunRok the Dragon Ball characters don't look too bad in Jump Force actually

but some of the other anime characters just DON'T work

@FullbringIchigo I'm reserving judgement for the full game but I honestly think that aside from the pretty particle effects Jump Force looks butt ugly. I get that it's throwing anime characters into a "realistic" world together but like you say, some just do not work.

A cool idea, the DBZ RPGs have been my favourites for a few years now (Fusions and Attack of the Saiyans) but hopefully the action stacks up and isn't something like "Xenoverse but with numbers popping up when you punch".

I really enjoyed DragonBall Z Sagas on the GameCube and have been waiting 15 years for a follow-up, so maybe this will be it.

An rpg of DNA, I'm already highly interested. Hopefully the wait isn't a long one. Maybe a mega man legend esque game?

@Deadlyblack Xenoverse and FighterZ are different styles themselves, too, though. Sure they're both cel-shaded, but FighterZ is a massive step up.

I agree with others that Jump Force's style should not be used. I don't see the appeal in it at all. And I really hope the new game looks more like FighterZ than Xenoverse. FighterZ has shown how to do cel-shading.

@Harmonie i don't think it should look like FighterZ either, don't get me wrong FighterZ looks AMAZING but i would prefer that they do their own thing instead of aping others

@rjejr i had to import that from America as it was never released anywhere else (same as DBZ Buu's Fury and DBGT Transformation on the GBA), i really enjoyed it but it's a very flawed game

co-op was fun though

About goddamn time. All these fighting games were fun for about two seconds, it's about time we get a decent action game from this franchise.

Awesome. Can't wait to see what becomes of this.

@FullbringIchigo I guess I just see FighterZ's style as such an advance to cel-shading graphics in general that I think that Xenoverse's style is archaic in comparison.

@glassmusic I didn't even think of that possibility. =( Darn it, I really hope not, too.

@FullbringIchigo "co-op was fun though"

It came out when my kids were really young, like toddler young, and I did get to play it with them. I think they may have been too young to play it together on their own. But we've had a house of DBZ fans ever since, and I feel like I owe a lot of that to that game.

I watched my oldest son play it recently and yeah it has issues but there is some simple fun to be had.

Omg ive been wanting a dragon ball rpg for so long. Remember legend of the super sayisn on the snes 😍

@rjejr yeah it does plus it's one of only two DBZ games i have seen that has a playable future Gohan with only one arm

Really excited for this. Hopefully as good as those Legacy of Goku action rpg games on GBA.
