Dragon Ball Online

in The Rumor Room
"Today, Bandai Visual announced that Akira Toriyama's popular manga and anime series "Dragon Ball" will become an online game called "Dragon Ball Online". Toriyama will oversee the project, while the Tokyo/Seoul-based company "NTL" will develop it. The game is scheduled for a release in 2008 in Japan, but a beta test in Korea will start this summer. Fees and payment schedules are undecided at this time.

The game itself is based in a world several hundred years after the events of Dragon Ball. This allows for both well-known characters and all-new characters to be introduced to gamers. Players can freely customize their hair, clothing and other facets of their character, group with other players and defeat powerful enemies and quests. Players can also challenge one another in combat."

    I just found a website where some punk is trying to design his own DBZ MMO. It makes me laugh a little. Either way, I don't like the idea, but I'm sure lots of people will buy it just for it's universe. I expect some tweaked combat.

    They said Japan and Korea. Nothing about a Western release.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little. 



    I can't wait to hear people talk about the community this game will attract.  It'll make WOW look like a formal tea party.

    Even if its comes out in Europe, the game will lack lots and lots AI etc. Imagine 20.000 Super Sajans ( Don't know how to write that errr).

    Any true fan of DBZ will know that Saiyans are very very limited in existence. And you can only be an SSJ4 by being a pure Saiyan breed. Unless the game takes place in the distanct past before the original DB, it won't make sense at all. Just count the total number of saiyans in the series and you'll get what I mean. Vegeta, Goku, Brolly and Brolly's dad were the last Saiyans after the Frieza incident. Everyone else after that were half breeds and quarter breeds.

    I'm not liking the idea that Toriyama-san is forcing a new storyline just to make more money. What happened to the PASSION mutha...?!!! Oh yeah, he's just going to be known as a sellout in the community.

    Why can't they ever make a game of DBZ that DOESNT look like its right off the television. It's like running around a cartoon character. Was hoping for a more realistic looking approach to the graphics. What a let down. Too bad.

    They better release it to the West.

  • freakomarfreakomar Member Posts: 415

  • El_GostroEl_Gostro Member Posts: 17

    Just think of SWG or the whole Star wars expanded universe,just how many sith and jedi  are there?



    999998978 sayans wouldnt exactly pose a novelty,remember Goku and vegeta's families seem to reproduce like bunnies,and if all other explanations fail,we can recurr to the cardinal rule of DB story telling
