      Tenkaichi 3 had other modes besides Tournament mode, like Dragon Sim or the Mission mode where you have to beat certain enemies with a character power level limit.

        He means that one point complains about tournament mode not being shown while another complains that's all they've shown.

          That point isn't complaining about the tournament mode. The point is about other game modes that aren't the tournament and story mode.

            is expression confusion over the oxymoron of "tournament not shown" and "only tournament shown", and not that Torunament is confirmed but hasn't been shown while other modes haven't been even confirmed.

                Even ignoring how utterly moronic it is to base your projected development time on something like "When did the last game made by a completely different studio come out", you're asserting that a Dragon Ball video game would need nearly a decade of development time.

                As much as we like to repeat that meme, the audience over there is so big that it's still profitable to target them in some way. Most of their issue is the whole pricing sutff, but the game who did have a reduced sale price over there did good.
                PS2 was still in production by the time PS4 came out because it was still a profitable console to sell over there once it was affordable.

                I can't make you chase an audience but I can call you a moron for pretending it doesn't exist, specially after they've proven to be willing to get your stuff. Something something service problem, etc.

        They said they can't add local splitscreen because of Sony and Mircosoft. They never really said why Sony and Mircosoft are making it hard for them to add local splitscreen, but it isn't a developer problem. Also they are having a hard time with porting the game to Xbox.

      I have my brother and my nephew to play with. Taking away options is always a bad thing, even if its not a really good or highly used option. Also, not having a local vs battle mode will definitely hurt competitive play. So Bandai is going to miss out on making a bit of money on that front if Sparking! Zero ever comes to EVO or some tournament event.

          Yet all those games were more beloved than those who did not. Almost as if as long as the game is fun, those sacrifices are worth taking.

          I don't think anyone who ever had friends would rather have better graphics than multiplayer option.
          I'm not pretending that Split screen doesn't drain the resources of the hardware, but that most people would rather have a less itnensive game with proper art direction with split/local multiplayer than some extra sparkless and higher ress textures. One of these improve the gameplay by offering more options, the other makes people with high end PC take more screenshots.

            Well, I wouldn't call Ultimate Tenkaichi beloved. Most would call it the worst DB game of that generation.
            You're also acting like the Budokai games weren't beloved as well, or the current DB games don't have their fans. And again, the amount of people playing this via local multiplayer is insanely miniscule. Though I guess since this thread is ESL central, you got like 30 bruthas all living in one room, right?

              Mindfart, I assumed you were talking about Tenkaichi 3. No that game sucked, and when I said "Budokai" I meant all of them, the 3 regular 3D fighters and the Tenkaichi trilogy ||4 too if you wanna go full spic||.
              But people loved them because they still felt like a proper evolution of the games. You at least had more characters to frick around, and the gameplay of Tenkaichi 1-3 was really fun and close to the show even if janky.
              And sure, of course fans will enjoy other games specially if they explore other styles, but everyone agrees Tenkaichi was where it peaked both in content and execution, everything else focused too much on visuals and did not have that much lasting power once the game was done.

              Local MP is heavily underappreciated by companies but it's the main reason your game will have a community. Sure we can hang out online but it's when we go physical that shit gets real. Imagine a SF or a Smash bros game without local multiplayer. It would almost kill the competitive scene, which in consequence would make a lot of normies never even gaze in that direction. It's not like the current melee and ultimate scene is only played by guys above their 30, there's plenty of fresh blood that came because there was a scene to begin with.
              We still get updates on the mentioned Budokai 4.

            He's onto something. The BT games suffered from 'puppet face' syndrome that many early PS2 games did while the Budokai games all had a wide range of expressions and their attempts at in-game cutscenes were always far inferior.

            The Tenkaichi games also capped at 30fps while the Budokai games generally ran at 60fps (except the GC port for the first game for some reason).

            This is due to the fact the Budokai games were real fighters (despite also being aimed at casuals) and not just DBZ simulators like the Tenkaichi games.

Zero is most likely near completion, but it seems that you can't simply connect the dots when someone who doesn't play or care about Nintendo games doesn't know the correct names of games he never played, a normal person who immediately recognizes that I was talking about Metroid Prime 4 when it was first mentioned by (You) who implied that Sparking! Zero is in development hell after I told you it is most likely coming out soon. Like why would I be talking about a game (you) didn't mention yourself? Pedophilic Moeshitters like you are fricking moronic.

      Kakarot never felt really hyped up as it even looked bad back then when it was announced it looked like cheap ass asset flip to milk the franchise name, and when it came out everyone stopped talking about it within a week or so. Its definition of playable asset flip.

      At least breakers tried to be different, and as a concept it sounded fresh, even if it had less hype, and ended up being dead, or whatever state is in it now.

              Apparently one of Trunk's forms in BT3 (the dumb muscular one iirc) has him start with an extra ki bar, which means he's able to use a special right off the bat. Since you can swap characters and the ki charge is shared, that means by putting him first and whoever you want second let's you start fights, swap and dump your move on the enemy.
              Didn't think much of it but apparently that means some characters combos can take away an entire health bar if it lands.

Like, who do you think is being added? Who's do you think is being cut? What new stages will the game have? What new gameplay mechanics will be added, and how will effect the core gameplay? Will the story mode be more like BT2 or BT3?

        Local co-op and splitscreen are staples of these games and I get your point, but the people saying they don't have friends in an attempt to justify it is absolutely pathetic.

          no clue, point is they couldn't get working on series S and outright said because they couldn't get it working on series S it meant series X wouldn't be getting it either due to the feature parity rule, naturally that looked bad on microsoft's part, series X owners would be missing out compared to PS5 owners thanks to the feature parity rule, so they let them be the 1 (one) exception to the rule so far and let series X get splitscreen but not series S and it was only because of public backlash that it happened

    Splitscreen won't happen because xbox can't handle it. Tekken 8 has crossplay so I believe sparking zero will have it as well

  36. 3 weeks ago
    Anonymous

    A lot of people keep saying Sparking Zero should have local because other fighting games have local, but they keep forgetting normal fighting games DON'T USE SPLITSCREEN. The main problem the devs have at the moment is that certain consoles (i.e. Xbox Series S) can't run splitscreen for whatever reason, and since one console can't run it, all platforms have to deal with the consequences due to Microsoft and Sony's beef with each other. Like, I'm sure the problem could've easily been fixed if Xbox Series S was the ONLY platform to not have local, but since it's likely that Microsoft doesn't want a game to have less features on their platform compared to Sony's, they possibly forced Spike and Bamco to remove it entirely for the time being.

    >But Tenkaichi games on the older consoles had splitscreen, why is it a problem now?
    Because the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, and as seen from the trailers and gameplay, there's a lot of particle effects, detailed destruction, and models with high polygon counts over all. Those intesne graphics weren't a problem back in the day, so splitscreen could render everything twice over without much of a problem. Rendering everything twice over nowadays, especially with all those extra polygons and effects added on, WILL make a lower-end console chug like a dying horse.

    All-in-all, the Series S should have NEVER existed, and I hope Spike can convince Microsoft and Sony to add in local splitscreen eventually.

      it should have splitscreen, it sucks that it doesn't, cause a commotion and single out series S as the reason like baldur's gay 3 did instead of being passive about it cause it clearly that clearly isn't helping anything, reduce partial effects, reduce environment destruction, frick it cut the frame rate in half if that's what it takes, just get it in, optimise your damn game and make it happen, raging blast looks fricking amazing and it could do splitscreen in the earlier days of the ps3/360, the only real excuse is series S but they'll never be allowed to break the feature parity rule unless they tell us it's the reason and we cause enough of a commotion to get microsoft to relent similar to bg3

      It's less that people want to play Raditz-Buu again, and more that people want to play Pilaf-Jiren.
