Ahead of its launch later this year, Bandai Namco has provided new details about Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero in a new Gameplay Showcase trailer, featuring game producer Jun Furutani:

​

Some of the features detailed in the video include:

• Episode Battle, the game's single player mode, allows players to choose between 8 characters and replay some key battles from Dragon Ball Z up until Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power. Cutscenes from these events can be experienced from a first-person point of view and alternative scenarios can play out.
• In Custom Battle, players can create new scenarios of their own with characters of their choice.
• The game will also feature an offline multiplayer mode.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero! will launch on October 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

i miss DBZ Budokai.
Simple 2D Fights (with 3D Models).

No Depth where you can Fly.
Limited Skill Tree because you need Capsules.
Damn, i loved the Capsules. It was so funny to find random and buy some with gold from the Tournament.

Can we get please an old school with new Characters, Graphic and Gameplay back, please?

Would this be the first DB thing since the creator's (Akira, I believe) death, or am I mistaken?

 

[SDA]

I do wonder what Akira Toriyama could have said about this game if he were still alive.

 

[YuseiFD]

I mean, they could've remastered BT3 and literally we would be more than happy, no issue there whatsoever.

 

[Dark_Ansem]

up until Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power.

Isn't like a Season Pass already planned

 

[KingVamp]

We had a 2d game. We had Dragon Ball FighterZ and its dlc for a while now.

 

[ikynx]

peak innovation...

Gave it a try a few years ago, personally I liked Budokai and Shin Budokai more

No. This is the best format. But they are fking up badly. Even with unrealengine 5 and nanite etc. Not beingable to do splitscreen on all stages. They messed everything up by going full db super retard, which they should left out of it. Also, the game is not as fast as db tenkaichi 3. The destruction physics dont convey the dramatic nature of dbz. Transformations happen quicker then a fart and charachters look high fidelity, but soulless. The explosions being cell shaded is awfull and comical.

Can't help but laugh at the absence of proper local play

I'm not a huge DB fan, but I have a lot of friends who are and when we were kids they would play budokai locally, sometimes they still do
That's one of the games you think about when you say « local play », that's how it is.

That's just crazy to me how they could think about releasing such a game without proper local play in mind. That makes no fucking sense.
We knew that local play was dead since games like CoD and Halo (for example) dropped it a few gens ago. But when a fucking fighting game can't even have that, that means it's so dead that not even a necromancer could bring this back

At least they admitted having limited split screen now and not day of release like that awful console-only Gundam VS.

 

[SushiKing]

Looks alright, hope it's fun though...

Would love another Buu's Fury Game TBH xD

 

[lordkek]

This has been a long wait, hopefully it lives up to the expectations haha

 

[salazarcosplay]

1 why is it that we don't often get key battles from original dragonball

2 I wish we could get what if scenarios

3 I wish we could use our own character like Xenoverse

Those would be valid criticisms except I didn't see any of that other than the cell shaded explosions. It's definitely not slower than Tenkaichi 3 (which I still play on the original hardware), there weren't any transormations that I saw (maybe you mistook the burst when they hit max power for a transformation?), and the 'destruction physics' look the same as they always have, just higher res...

The splitscreen thing is the one real problem, this isn't freakin' 1992 haha. Maybe this is why they aren't porting the new Gundam VS game.

The destruction physics look the same as tthey always have. AND THAT my friend is the problem. Zero advancement! Lazy!
Well from the testers on youtube,they were saying that the combo's were faster in TK 3.. but i cant be sure. If you haven't seen any transformations you should look up some more videos.

DB super throws away the entire balance and powerscaling of the game out of the window never mind the designs etc. It is OUT of place!

I agree with the balance of Super (same reason why it makes sense to leave out the original DB). I'm not mad at the inclusion of super, but this has always been the problem with DBZ. Episode 1 Goku could get 1-shot by like, anybody in Episode 300, and most people in Episode 300 could be 1-shot by anyone in the current arc of Super. It's the nature of the show, we either have very specialized games that only focus on a certain arc (like whatever that SNES game was), or we have some semi-balanced nonsense like DBFZ.

But the thing is the game charachter get's modeled around it relative to each other. Meaning the once most powerful charachter will probably feel less powerful. They may even opt for making them slower to making them all relative to make their nonsense BS super charachters feel the most powerful. The crown is taken and given to others!!
