First infos on the next DBZ

[Maimp]

Here is the first infos on the next Dragon Ball Game :

http://www.game-france.fr/news/news-0-1850+des-infos-sur-le-prochain-dragon-ball.php

I think a scan will be out this week.

[Kokos]

Thanks for sharing... that site is reliable, has provided info in the past before. So, I guess I'll believe it.

"Action Combat en 3D". Guess the 3DS game is not a sequel to Attack of The Saiyans.
*Sigh*

[Maimp]

Yes, this site gave us a lot of infos on RB2.

For the action combat I think it's like RB2. And it's PS3/360 (High Def Consoles).

[Kokos]

Yes, this site gave us a lot of infos on RB2.

For the action combat I think it's like RB2. And it's PS3/360 (High Def Consoles).

I guess that's another way to interpret it. We already know a 3DS game is coming, Raging Blast 3 is still a mystery and nowadays when developers talk about "3D" in a game they mean the 3D function for the 3DS, PS3, PC and Xbox 360.
That's why the 3DS game crossed my mind first.

I failed at reading, missed the HD consoles part.

I also did some research and it appears the Shonen Jump is a weekly magazine that comes out on Monday.
So we'll probably know next week what's it all about, maybe even sooner.

[MysticGospel]

Hmm "Project Dragonball Age Project 2011" (likely a google translate error) sounds interesting if it's true. For now I'm thinking that it's either a Sagas-like game or a BT/RB-style game.

[Kokos]

It's just a way of disguising the true name, just to tease us. Developers do this regularly.

But yes, it could be anything. An new Raging Blast, a port of Zenkai, a Sagas-like game.

[Evil_Goku]

This is the same Info but in english. :p

[majin_ali]

what so no RB3? :(

so disapointed! i guess they begin again like the raging blast series and give us only 40 characters and a half ass game again, and we need to wait until 2014 for the final version

[Kokos]

Talk about jumping to conclusions.

"Dragonball Age Project 2011" is just a placeholder. What the actual game is, no one knows.
Besides are you really that desperate for a Raging Blast 3 this year? Surely you can do without if it means getting a better game next year?

[majin_ali]

on an german site i read that the developer team allegedly promise the fans a as never before dragonball game feeling..

i doubt that we see a RB3

but maybe that game will be good..
because i guess they learned from RB1 that the fans will not buy an half ass game

i guess this game will have dbz and gt !

its defintly not RB3 guys!

namco bandai will more sale figures with that new game series!

and the release is for autumn 2011 in japan !

[Kokos]

That's a pretty misleading way to put things.

Sans equivalent (in the article) = without equal
There's a difference between "without equal" and "never before feeling", depending on your interpretation. For all we know, it could be Raging Blast 3 and they added the whole Sparking Meteor cast + some others just for the sake of it.

It's likely Namco Bandai is just hyping stuff.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if it's something new, considering the biggest criticism by many reviewers was the lack of originality.

[Kokos]

double post, PC was acting up when I wanted to type an e with a '.

Don't you already know? He just cares about explosions and HD SSJ4s. I don't think that he even has either RBs because of that.

[majin_ali]

i just try too translate the german text..

and the release is for autumn 2011 in japan..

i have that from this site http://www.gamestrust.de/news,dragon_ball_naechster_next_gen_titel_moechte_ neue_wege_beschreiten,id9148.html

but its a german videogame page

[Kokos]

I understand some German, but I don't really think the article confirms anything. Everything that was stated was already known and is probably just a translation of the first article (can't find their source on the page either).

We will have to wait and see.

[Kokos]

Don't you already know? He just cares about explosions and HD SSJ4s. I don't think that he even has either RBs because of that.

Well I certainly knew that already, but I still think and hope he is a bit deeper than that, if you know what I mean.

[MysticGospel]

Yeah, I lost that bit of optimism months ago.

[Kokos]

Yeah, I lost that bit of optimism months ago.

Really? That's harsh.

[MysticGospel]

Really? That's harsh.
I the type of person who can be swayed when shown something that makes my old vision of the person invalid. Majin_Ali hasn't shown me any of that, actually it's likely to have gotten worse the more I see him post.

[majin_ali]

Yeah, I lost that bit of optimism months ago.

i would complain if the gameplay was really shitty, but its actually not

its not perfect it can be better i know that!

and @Kokos, they really say on this site that the game release for japan is planned for autumn this year

but i don't know if we can trust this site

[MysticGospel]

And what defines crap gameplay?

[majin_ali]

uhm, lack of combos
and when all characters feel the same while playing for example

i can't play Dragonball GT final bout, because of the shitty gameplay.

[Kokos]

and @Kokos, they really say on this site that the game release for japan is planned for autumn this year

but i don't know if we can trust this site

The first site in the OP stated the same thing. Besides, I think a release in Autumn 2011 is only logical. I don't think we need confirmation on that.

[MysticGospel]

RB has none of that and you called it half-assed.

[majin_ali]

RB has none of that and you called it half-assed.

okay half-assed was exxageratet a bit

i mean lack of content.. because a lot of fans i guess now are prepared to see many new alt costumes, GT saga, new stages etc..

anyway i have a good feel! about the gameplay, effects and storymode for at least!

And if you keep your hopes that high, you're bound to be dissapointed again.

See what I mean Kokos?

[Kokos]

http://i.fok.nl/s/emo.gif
I can kind of understand what you mean. But I've always been the kind of person that tries to see good in many people and things even if people diabolise them to death.
(Ironically though, if you would ask me if I were happy with the death of Osama Bin Laden, I probably wouldn't really know how to answer. One of my inconsistencies.)

But we're going offtopic here.

[majin_ali]

do you think that Spike is the developer?

and i have the feel that the budget this time is higher than for raging blast !

[Kokos]

There is honestly no way to know both your question and your statement right now. All we can do, is wait and see.

Who knows Namco Bandai is doing some outsourcing (hiring a Western studio to develop a game for Namco Bandai) since that's the trend with Japanese publishers these days.

[GF9000000Returns]

So it's either a "new" DBZ game or an RB3 with DURASTIC changes.(changes that we hardly believe it's Spike's true sequel)

All I hope is for them to put GT in (so that there won't be fans whining about that), and for it to make the Db franchise comes back to its roots. And note: it's a 3-D fighting game. incase people are wondering if they're making a RPG game.

[Frieza_Soldier]

A reboot for spike's games is what they seriously need. I hope Dragonball project 2011 is as hardcore as it sounds, they need to sit down and go back to their roots to why BT was so succesful, no more gimmicky crap like Raging soul and What-if crap. Sit down, review the anime and actually bring back what isn't there. I hope to see RB2's into as actual gameplay... or at least something close enough.

If only Dimps would jump in this and merge DBZ groups.

[ssjgohan2009]

i sure hoop they dotn start the roster over if they do then am not geting the game and did they say what this new game is for piks ds psp ps3 xbbox360 what if they start over then see no point in geting the game i want keep palying as ssj3 broly ssj3 vegeta and hatchiyack if this new game dont have then that it if they start over then am down geting dbz game and staynig with rb2 i eman come way wood they want make new game start over that woo be down if it new game then they bettter keep rb2 roster i dont wat some redo copy if rb1 dos nbga thaink some copy if rb1 will sell good i dont think so they beeter had ever one form rb2 and more or i will not get it it they sya not ever befor seen dbz game ya right i dont buy that i think there just saying that try get us to pay game that goin got have less then rb1 if that ture then you wont find me geting it i want had on to rb2 roster not start over

lot fans are tired with dum 40 roster that wont work this time pelsese kepe rb2 roster dub it or i wont get the game i dotn want re do if rb1 i want rb3 or at las tsome awsome game

[Frieza_Soldier]

i sure hoop they dotn start the roster over if they do then am not geting the game and did they say what this new game is for piks ds psp ps3 xbbox360 what if they start over then see no point in geting the game i want keep palying as ssj3 broly ssj3 vegeta and hatchiyack if this new game dont have then that it if they start over then am down geting dbz game and staynig with rb2 i eman come way wood they want make new game start over that woo be down if it new game then they bettter keep rb2 roster i dont wat soem redo copy if rb1

I agree, they probably will but If they were smart they should give us BT3's already given roster that everyone was fine with.

remove The useless characters like Appule, King cold, FreezaSoldier and General blue, then replace them with the Androids, Tarble and Hachi. We never needed anymore of Cooler's henchmen. I say they just need to add more GT and Bojacks men on top of BT3's list and we'd have a solid roster and no need for requests, unless people REALLY want crappy characters like Salt and pepper

However my concern is stages damn it. We need a reboot on them.

[kbrooksgohan]

i'm skeptical. i really don't want to start all over again. i hope this isn't just another crappy dbz game..... imo i think its rb3.....but we will see.

[kbrooksgohan]

uh imo they can make the less important henchmen npcs and keep the others. personally...i really am sick of the crap. i

[ssjgohan2009]

ya am with kbrooks here i dont want start over agian that jsut be dum and not right

[Banjotron2000]

Hey SSGohan I'm With You On This Buddy 10000000000000000000000000000000000%

[NathanCX]

Haven't you guys asked yourself why they gave a numbered game a project name? I don't think this is the third Raging Blast game.

[kbrooksgohan]

i'm afraid of what we are going 2 see next week. i've been dissatisfied with dbz games in general. they can never do the entire series proper justice. if they start doing that then they can finally move on and make new stories and cover new ground. imo a smart thing 2 do is incorporate a better physics system as a base and keep all the old supers from rb2. i think variety is key. but like i said....i really think its rb3. they had 2 just start working on it...why start from complete stratch? i think that info on facebook had bits and pieces correct. it did mention 3d...

[kbrooksgohan]

@knook
its a place holder name.

[kbrooksgohan]

i think whats new is the 3d.....that is never before seen. guys be realistic. there hasn't been much time developing this. why start from stratch and lose what was given?

[NathanCX]

@knook
its a place holder name.
You really think they'd have a placeholder name for Raging Blast 3?
Seriously... They'd already know the bloody name.

I do like being called 'knook' though

[kbrooksgohan]

lol i only know you by knook lol. but since the game isn't revealed yet they gave it a place holder name. i wouldn't mind something new but i feel like rb3 needs 2 come 2 please the fans with tons of improvement and content. heck i wouldn't mind a dimps game this year but with way more content and rb3 next year. that could and imo should be the case. bl was ok but it needed alot of tweaks. imo 3 dimensional tenkaichi is better suited 4 dbz but imo the naruto engine looks better than the rb engine.

I know man, it just strikes me as a bit odd given that we rarely get placeholder names for Dragonball Z games. We'll have to see

[Banjotron2000]

Hey NathanCX PiccoloJr He Still Thinks There Gonna Be A Raging Blast 3 & I Told Him The Bad News About Raging Blast 3 & He Don't Believe Me & I Say Okey Then & I Left It Alone

[kbrooksgohan]

hopefully it won't be another dissapointment. i don't want 2 play only dbz sagas again.i want new stuff.

[Frieza_Soldier]

uh imo they can make the less important henchmen npcs and keep the others. personally...i really am sick of the crap. i

I totally agree, thats how it was in BT2 and it worked, why do we need to play as people THAT bad? They should just be there for storymode. Cui,Saibaman, can be an NPCs too if we have a storymode. I mean it would be much better to have challanges where we have to survive against endless saibaman growth. (and I mean actual growth animation, Budokai 3 had them grow out of the ground (even after you blow up the planet) and in zenkai, Nappa would plant them. )We dont need to play as them if we're going to be yamcha in story. Cell jr. Is actually worth playing as but fits the same grouping.

[kbrooksgohan]

@fri.
i like cui,saibamen though. i'd rather the henchmen like the movie henchmen be npcs. i'm used 2 them now so i like them. thats were dimps messed up. they left out alot of the henchmen and lesser characters like 19 or removed them. i say keep them as an option. i want a naruto style dbz game. that engine is perfect 4 dbz...

[Frieza_Soldier]

You really think they'd have a placeholder name for Raging Blast 3?
Seriously... They'd already know the bloody name.

I do like being called 'knook' though

For all we know or (for all I hope rather) is the title given being a general movement by spike. Like "Project Soul" of Soul calibur. or "Operation <Insert situation>"

[Frieza_Soldier]

I agree, I DO like Cui but he serves no purpose because his role holds more weight for a story mission. Cui can be playable, i mean he is funny, "now forward, the era of CUI" or something like that when he beats freeza... but I just don't see saibaman worth it. The way Spike made him just seems so blah, so expendable, I mean if there is ever a time where the roster is too big then I wouldn't have a problem keeping him on story or missions only, to me he seems more of that type of character. They don't have to be cut but the slot could be for someone better then them. I pursonally would like to see a Ninja storm styled DBZ game with a Dimps combo system and Spike's accuracy if possible.

[Frieza_Soldier]

i think whats new is the 3d.....that is never before seen. guys be realistic. there hasn't been much time developing this. why start from stratch and lose what was given?

They're not losing anything if they already have BT3 as a base...

bt3 was on ps2 engine.

If you're really dissatisfied why not just give up on it? I don't think your current opinion will change anytime soon. If I were you I would've given up. I kind of had the same sentiments with Tomb Raider.
And there are so many great games out there you haven't touched, I cannot help but wonder why people still would stick with a series they dislike?

For the record, I'm not saying you should leave, I just think all of this is a bit illogical.

I for one enjoy the series too much to lose hope just yet, I mean there are the past games that were masterpieces that I'll turn to if this is a flop. I still have the Budokais. The reliable series.

[Kokos]

Well that's one way to look at it. This instantly reminds me of Final Fantasy, I don't think I need to explain why.

I don't see how the Budokai series is "reliable". I don't even understand what you mean by that, you mean consistent in quality? Because if anything, no gaming franchise can provide 100 % consistency in quality products. Even the best of the best have their downs.
I also wouldn't call the Budokai series consistent in that regard. Budokai 1 was great but a bit rushed here and there, Budokai 2 despite some good ideas was a disappointment for me because it didn't have the magic and fun factor of the first Budokai, Budokai 3 was great but some aspects in Budokai 1 were better, Shin Budokai was really good especially for a handheld game with a fun storyline, Burst Limit... isn't really bad but of all my gaming years, I think this title is the most worthy of the name "mixed bag".
Haven't played Shin Budokai: Another Road or Infinite World.

While I do think that, all things considered, Dimps did a decent job, they certainly aren't consistent in quality. But then again, I don't think I can say that for any studio, including some of my favourites.

Shin budokai would have been so much better if the storymode wasn't presented so horribly but content wise its better then Budokai and has more diverse stages then RB.

[Kokos]

Presented horribly? What? http://i.fok.nl/s/emo.gif
The storyline was good. It focused on 1 event, the "Fusion Reborn" movie, and the game gave it its own twists and the game told its own story that way. It's something different from the storyline we already know yet still faithful in many ways. What's not to like?

[Banjotron2000]

Kokos I Hope This Next DBZ Game Be Kind Of Like Budokai Tenkaichi Series & Raging Blast Series

[BardockRulez]

If it's a Dbz game, on consoles,and is being distributed by Namco......Then yeah,its gonna be like RB.

By all means the story was a great idea, innovative and what spike should do, however the dialouge at times was out of character for some, the character art was bad and there were spelling mistakes. Actually though I was talking about "another road" great concept but I hated flying around randomly saving cities from being blown up, It should have been presented like RB's story. RB3 or whatever the game is should do this. Have a "Dragon history" mode like BT3, then have "Galaxy Mode" or whatever featuring sagas in the detailed style as Shin Budokai's but presented as it was in RB1 (both with cutscenes and etc.)

[majin_ali]

there is a chance that this game will be RB3 guys!

i talked with an french guy who was on the meeting last year where they tested RB2 in france, his name is Treevax on youtube

he have also friends who was on the meeting in february, he is the guy who made these cel shading graphic suggestions with that pics from ssj3 goku for example where is is on the island. i think you know what i mean..

he speaks with Tiza an namco bandai communtiy manager and she said that most of these game sites give us much wrong informations about this new game!

he also said that the developers very liked his graphic change ideas...and they also talked about better explosion and smoke effects, and they know now that the most fans want the storymode back. i chatted with him on facebook about 30 minutes ago

and Tiza said next week we will get more informations

but maybe.. i don't know this game is a filler to give raging blast 3 a 2 year development time
but he said that he is convinced that RB3 will be released! because on that meeting they talked the most time about how to improve RB2

and finally he said that the developers etc. also all love dragonball, and really want to make a good and fun dbz feeling

[Banjotron2000]

Hey Majin_Ali I Hope That I'm Being Rube I'm Kinda Confused Can You Sent Me A PM About It

[kbrooksgohan]

sweet. good sleuthing. i wouldn't mind a filler game till rb3.

[kbrooksgohan]

although i wouldn't mind rb3 either....

[Frieza_Soldier]

I hope this is true, I want some cellshading back and Zenkai effects, with Burst limit's story.... I hope this IS a legit 36o/Ps3 title.
But what kind of filler game will this be?

[Banjotron2000]

Well Me & SSGohan Made Our Ideas For Nothing Since There Aren't Gonna RB3

I don't really see how the art was bad. It wasn't terrific or anything special but it did what it had to do as far as I'm concerned?
And yes I noticed some spelling mistakes too and it always kind of annoys me when I see that (this is especially common in Japanese games pre-PS2). But that shouldn't detract from the experience all that much, unless we're talking about a book then yes, I think spelling mistakes should be judged more harshly in that case.

[Kokos]

That reminds me... looks like another 6 months of speculating, complaining, discussing, trolling for us here. The very first scan is really close now.

Makes me wonder if it really is something new or if this is just hyping us for nothing.
I think this is what we need if we don't want Dragon Ball games to stay niche. A refreshing, really good game that also appeals to the more casual fans and maybe even the non-fans. As much as I like Sparking and Raging Blast and want to see how the conclusion of this trilogy, I don't think Raging Blast 3 will sell really well, no matter how good it is for a game with only 1 year of development. The damage has already been done when it comes to reputation I'm afraid.

Raging blast has a BAD rep in my area for being poor quality for being overly recycled and not very DBZ ish to non hardcore fans. Were as BL was decent to them.

[Banjotron2000]

@Frieza_Soldier Yeah Why That What SSGohan Told Me

[Frieza_Soldier]

@Frieza_Soldier Yeah Why That What SSGohan Told Me

He's not a reliable source. He'd probably just confirm SSJ3 Teen Gohan himself..

[Kokos]

I wonder what his reaction would be if there really was a SSJ3 Teen Gohan in (the hypothetical) Raging Blast 3.
Seeing as they even gave Trunks a SSJ3 version, anything is possible.

I'm still rooting for SSJ3 Hercule. http://www.9lives.be/forum/images/smilies/bow.gif

And yes I noticed some spelling mistakes too and it always kind of annoys me when I see that (this is especially common in Japanese games pre-PS2). But that shouldn't detract from the experience all that much, unless we're talking about a book then yes, I think spelling mistakes should be judged more harshly in that case.

Shin Budokai's art could have been much better if thats what's used to tell the story and the most looked at in the mode:

No, what Dimps used to tell the story was the dialogue. The images were just there... to make things a little more involving and to know who's talking. I think the game would've made a pretty goofy impression if they just told all of the dialogue without anything else, kind of like a book, and after each dialogue a fight begins.

I didn't say no pictures, I said better pictures..

[Kokos]

Oh... okay.
That's the second time I messed up while reading.

It's clear which one was better.

[Zienzo]

Hm...
I don't really want an excruciatingly detailed story like Burst Limit...I got sick of trudging through fight after fight...after fight after fight with characters I did not like...

[Banjotron2000]

I'm Still Hoping That Spike & Bandie Namco Read All My Ideas & Put Them In This New Dragonball Game

[Frieza_Soldier]

I hold logomachize, I believe mine are in higher preference to my demand. I hope Spike listens to the efforts.

[Banjotron2000]

Ho I Probly Say That Spike Listens To Fans Ideas If That What He Does

There's not even that much difference in quality. I think you're exaggerating a bit about this "issue". I mean, do you really factor artwork when judging a DBZ game? http://www.9lives.be/forum/images/smilies/wtf.gif That kind of sounds to me like looking for something to complain even if every important factor is good enough.

[kbrooksgohan]

I hope that if this is new that they really really work on the physics system. Imo the physics and explosions need to be right first. Then add in the rest...

I hope they really put some effort into this game. I wouldn't mind if it was ONLY GT! LOL! That's never before seen! But it probably won't be...but if it was it would be nice if it had 40 characters,proper effects,etc. Lol now for some reason I think it's actually a FULL gt game. Gt game...it's a full gt game.

Gt is so cool and has more potential then they give it credit for. They could change it up a bit and really give us a nice more consistent story. I would love to see ss versions of the old saiyans,or an alternate future of gt. It DOES have potential. I also liked the shadow dragons. They were very elemental in nature....would be cool if someone got all the gt dragonballs and absorbed them and then had all the powers of the dragons at there control. But make them a new villain...idk. Guys I think it might really be a full gt game.

[Kokos]

There have been games that were GT-only. GT: Transformations and Final Bout for example (even though Final Bout had more DBZ characters than GT characters http://i.fok.nl/s/emo.gif).

Anyway, if this is a GT-only game which I doubt, I'd probably pass. GT is not my thing.

[Evil_Goku]

Otherwise it could be just a filler Game.

BTW this time i'm not hoping too much for this new Game, i will wait and if it's awesome better than RB1 and RB2, i will buy it.

[kbrooksgohan]

@Kokos.But not on next gen or on the next gen consoles. I also mentioned how the gt story can really be improved vastly...


@EvilGoku

Me netheir. It might be a chibi game for all we know...lol. Dbz games imo on the consoles have lacked tremendously. RB2 is pretty bad....rb1 was better. I wish they would really sit down and work on the physics first and then build from the ground up. Spike's physics system is bad...period.It's so limited.

Burst Limit was on the right track when it came down to it. Their physics system was much improved from the budokai series because the characters really reminded me of their anime counterparts(tien,yamucha mostly).

Ki system was bad but it was almost correct. In the show they don't constantly powerup all the time. Imo the best ki management system was budokai 3.

Why can't a developer just take the best features from old games and then add in the proper dbz staples?

[Kokos]

But not on next gen or on the next gen consoles. I also mentioned how the gt story can really be improved vastly...

It doesn't really matter if the games are current-gen or not. There are still games that are GT-only so it's not never seen before.

I think GT is too much of a trainwreck for me to fix. They'd have to change pretty much everything, the main storyline, the structure, the storytelling, the characters... that is if the developers would bother fixing GT which I doubt. I don't really see why they should?

[Evil_Goku]

Hmm i tought we would get a scan today? Because of V-Jump. http://www.akadot.com/jump-05-may-2011-p-33561.html

V-Jump is usually on the third week of a month so that is not possible.
The magazine we're waiting for is Shonen Jump, not V-Jump.

[kbrooksgohan]

Oh Shonen Jump. It'll probably be out soon.

[Evil_Goku]

Ah ok, that means it's coming soon. Lets see what this new DBZ Game is, maybe RB3. But didn't say Spike over and over again that word ''Never before see'' in the last Game RB2?

[Kokos]

Uh... maybe when talking about some of the characters yes. I don't think they ever said that about the rest though.

[kbrooksgohan]

Lol now I don't want it to be rb3. I'd rather it be something else. RB3 next year...or I'd take gt.

[Kokos]

I think it would be cool if a Western company would make a game about Dragon Ball.

What about Obsidian? Lol.
It would have a awful amount of glitches, but it would probably have excellent RPG-elements and a pretty good storyline. Plus they are used to working with a limited amount of time.
That's just me dreaming though.

Whether it's Raging Blast 3 or not, I'll probably respect the decision and the game anyway.

[majin_ali]

wtf !? http://www.gamereactor.de/Bilder/?productid=10623

now i'm afraid that this is an dragonball origins only game for ps3 and x360 roflmao

so this week we get surely an new shonen jump magazine? because this week ends in about 2 days

[Kokos]

It's just a picture about Dragon Ball which is most likely added by the website itself. Be patient, there really is no need to freak out about the slightest thing and jump to conclusions, it's unnecessary.

I expect the magazine on monday, since that is the official release of the magazine. Perhaps we'll be lucky and see something tomorrow or Sunday.

[Sparking]

And the photo is from Dragon Ball Revenge of King Piccolo

[Frieza_Soldier]

I really hope they change and overhaul the engine of all things. Spike loves to exaggerate the smallest things they do irrelevent to this.

[Zienzo]

Where did our long thread go?

[Kokos]

In the Namco Bandai section.

[hulkty]

Any news on What if characters or if this game even passes Cell Games? lol

[ssjgohan2009]

that be dum if this game end at cell game i dont think any one wood get it

[Midori]

Anyone seen this yet?

http://i.imgur.com/Vonae.png

Might not be raging blast 3 after all....

Ouch at the poll on the live blog of the Namco event in Dubai

Do you want to see a new Dragonball game announced today?

39% Yes 61% No :(

[Kokos]

It makes me a little sad to see many people having lost faith in the game series, I'm not saying it's not understandable but still.

The new game will have a lot to live up to. I hope it does but unlike most people I have faith and will give the developers a chance to prove themselves. http://www.9lives.be/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
