The combat system is rather basic in setup, but the counter and guard break mechanics coupled with the other offensive abilities (like the Aura Spark mode that I'll get to in a second) give the game plenty of depth, as well. Counters are in, as well as guard break attacks, allowing the more patient and defensive fighters a chance to turn the table on the button mashers out there. Speaking of the combat, the game is geared to be beneficial to both highly offensive and defensive fighters. Should you deem that you'd rather fight in a straight-up manner without others meddling in your affairs, you can choose to turn them off. You can choose up to three Drama Pieces at the start of a fight, and each will be triggered automatically without your input when the time is right. Each Drama Piece is attached to a specific character, so a secondary Dragon Ball character will come in for each event to give you some help. You can also select from throw saves, health boosts for when you're low and much more. For example, you could choose a Kamehameha breaker which will cause a support character to run in and block the first Kamehameha that your opponent throws in the round.
Drama Pieces are selectable bonuses that you can choose from before each round that change the action of the battle. Another bonus to this presentation style is that one of the game's new mechanics, Drama Pieces, helps tie the two together even while playing.
Gone are the days when the cutscenes and gameplay were separated by load times and visual differences, and instead the game looks much more cohesive. The cool thing about the story presentation is that all of the cutscenes are shown via in-engine cinematics, which then blend immediately into gameplay. The tale will feature branching paths that spin off into the original elements, allowing for new segments in a story that stays true to the universe's canon.
I've had to keep my lips zipped since then, aside from a somewhat tell-all interview that you can find right here, but the veil has been lifted and I'm finally able to speak about the first PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 appearance of the franchise.ĭragon Ball Z: Burst Limit will follow the exploits seen during the Z Chronicles, running from the beginning of the Saiyan Saga to the end of the Cell Saga. Way back when at GDC, I had a chance to get an early look at Atari's latest DBZ title, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit.
