Ok. I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. It's just... it's just so... *great sigh of defeat* Here's the some gameplay demo footage for Namco Bandai's Dragonball: Evolution on the NY Comic Con '09 floor. I'll let it speak for itself:



Err, so what's up with that uber long loading screen, eh? And Gohan as Goku's grandfather? Excuse me while I step out for some fresh air.

[enter commenter asking whether this game will be over 9000]

 » Hm

Well. That was fun. Is it um...

OVER 9000?

You asked for it, Gino :p

   by djmix56 - 2009-02-07
 » Actually..

Gohan was the name of the old guy that found Goku as a baby.
Goku names his son after him later on. :p

But as far as this game and movie go...they're most likely going to suck somethin awful. XD


   Re: Gino D. (QJ. NET Staff) - 2009-02-07
 » Ah so that explains it

I was thinking along the same lines, but then I always remember him as Grandpa or Master. The Gohan I'm most familiar with is the son, so it does kinda feel strange to see a Gohan that's actually waaaay older than Goku. I'm sure a whole bunch of other people would feel the same way. -_-;;

But thanks for clearing that up! Let's hope other folks out there who watch the movie don't get weirded out by the sudden oldification of Gohan. ;-)

   Re: jack_gllghr - 2009-02-07
 » Also for fans of Dragonball..

Does anybody else wonder why they brought back Gohan? He's pronounced dead in the first frickin episode. And yeah I know he comes back for a day, but it seems as if he never died in this.

Also Gino check the qj tips box there's also a gameplay video of Roshi vs Piccolo on Gametrailers

Also WTF? Master Roshi has no crazy old man pervert personality?!

   Re: papajag - 2009-02-07

Goku killed Gohan(the grandpa). They changed the story big time which might be bad? Dude even the guy that's introducing the game must not like this listen to him in 5:57-6:10.

   Re: jack_gllghr - 2009-02-07
 » Yeah I know..

I know he killed Gohan when he changed into Oozaru and stepped on him. Damn this movie is gonna just attract people to Dragonball for all the wrong reasons

Is getting raped in front of me, watching Dbz was one of the best things I did when I was a kid, I loved the series, now if I could I would tell young Row to never watch it, that way it won't hurt it all when fox sets it on fire.

if your a real fan you will watch it man
i know i will even if it sucks
am going to download it jajajaja so that they dont get any profit lol

... DONT bootleg it! just dont buy it/play it, because if ur a REAL fan like u say, you will support the franchise by BUYING it. and also NOT kill the community further.

im gonna watxh the movie when it comes out just to see how much it sucks


   Re: Typhon00 - 2009-02-07
 » Yeah

sounds like a swell plan. Why would waste $5-10 dollars, and an hour and a half at the movies, watching a movie you know you wont like? And even if you don't go to the theater and pirate it, that still a waste of time that could be productive.

   Re: Navani - 2009-02-07
 » You never know

It may be surprisingly good.. although I doubt it. I'm definitely going to see this in theaters. Maybe it'll be like the 1994 Fantastic Four movie. It looks horrible, it was really good. And LMAO they're trying to make it as close to the movie as possible.. They should do the exact opposite it seems!!

   Re: almost89 - 2009-02-07

but why waste time and money when u can be doing something productive

My life Long dream of a DB or DBZ Live movie has turned into this Super Long Nightmare, It's like a never Ending River of Crap Keeps spilling on my Head.

I just Hope that everyone will STAY AWAY from the Movies when this is Playing So they will Know How BAD it is.

I really Think that everyone Who worked on this Film Should NEVER work in Movies EVER again. they Should be ashamed of them Self's for making this.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this.

I think this beats out Sonic the Hedgehog PS360


   Re: kupomogli - 2009-02-07
 » Oh yeah.

And the guy playing sucks balls.

I know it's the guy who made the game. But jeez. I could own him with my eyes closed and I haven't even played the game, though that's solely because it's similar to the other Budokai games.

   Re: Dark_Skai - 2009-02-07
 » I'm sure he didn't make the game

the guy is probably someone Namco is having present the game.

Budokai without the ability to fly, and less fireballs being thrown

   by snowman123 - 2009-02-07
 » haha, the presenting is so funny

he's like eeggh...uhhh (sound like he wants to grab the guys psp and smash it on the ground....)

but still the game doesn't seem bad, i actually like the fighting system, its like dragonball z shin budakai another road, only problem is the characters that are being replaced...how sad...dont think ill play this game its like DBZ shin budakai..

 » Epic

Fail

and yeah looks like everything sucks. I'm pretty sure the loading can be solved if you're using an iso dump and cfw. OR if the game supports media install to play it via the memory stick. otherwise, those who are on OFW will be stuck with the long loading times as usual.

and yeah, again, the game just looks like it plainly sucks big time.

Everyone that is like, "Oh my God my memories of DBZ when I was a child are vanishing because of this movie!" It's really no big deal. Don't see the movie, don't play the game. Who cares if people are attracted or not to either of them? The world keeps on spinnin'.

How come this lame ass film has the budget to release a videogame?. That really pisses me off

and oh!, on a sidenote, the further you go from reality the better. What's that stupid obsesion with "Realistic", we go to videogames to escape from the boredom of "Reality", so making a Realistic videogame is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard (and it goes to all "realistic" videogames out there, not only this piece of crap)

how about gta 4 its realy realistic like you can do everithing in real life that you can do in gta 4 (exept for dieng and comming back to life)and its fun

PS3rocks360sucks, I feel like everytime you're going to talk it's going to be bad news.

Also, yeah GTA4 is totally reallistic, except for that small tiny glitch of coming back to life like you mentioned. -rolls eyes-

#1 comment award!

So in dragonball gt it continues .....and goku is finally grow up and gohan is an old grandpa. so the story may ends .but making a game like this..........ok my personal comment would be :| 1st . character select screen. whats with the backround select screen? maybe a tekken select rip off screen and music?| 2nd . graphics : hmmm bad very bad even Super Mario 64 is more awesome than that!| 3rd. gameplay u Seriously about this? hope this will not end up in stores . what i like ? that would be the gameplay backround and u see the bird was flying. very nice . but maybe if they think spending some time in it , it would someday a succes

 » Another SF?

Wow, they really went all the way to make it cheap. Huge loading times and what do you get? SF3?!

Damn, why didn't I think of that. What I have seen from earlier DBZ games they were okay (as everyone that could fly could fly), this is just crap.

   by raggedjimmi - 2009-02-08
 » -

Time to let certain old memes die now. Everyone else seemed to let it do so...

But meh that game didn't look too bad. Dont think it's going to pull me away from SFA3 - the load times and "story" bits just turn me off it.

   by TalesXIII - 2009-02-08
 » o_O

horrible game, horrible actors, horrible appearances, horrible gameplay! this is definitley not how goku and co fights in the manga/anime, the acutal fighting style is- /gameplay should be more like street fighter!

   by TalesXIII - 2009-02-08
 » ^^ good job

this games has actually a great improvement, it doesnt look any longer anime-ish, be it characters, be it stages... its interesting!

 » "and this just in. Namco is the next company to go out of business, due to EPIC FAILURE DBZ film game!"

LOL LOL LOL! We're obviously not in a recession if this utter crap is being worked on... Seriously WTF??

This is so 90's.. and even bad for the 90's!!

1. std. fighting
2. little to no cgi
3. no interesting new moves of play
4. what? less than 10 characters???
5. almost no story line whatsoever.
6. pretty average graphics (for any current console)

This sux WAY worse than street fighter the movie (movie + game) did!

It looks like Namco has put about $1.50 into that game and only one person is working on it, and that person has "special needs"

seriously.. namco has made enough fighting games to almost be able to make a standard layout and system. then skin it with different backgrounds, menu graphics, character graphics and then apply custom animations to it.

Is this what happened? Did someone say to namco the day before they presented that they needed a working game and they just skinned a standard fighting game pretending that they are actually currently working on this?

it's beyond shocking and comprehension!

I think i'd actually have more fun playing "Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge"


   Re: reyknow - 2009-02-10
 » blame the movie

....not the game company. i mean, cmon, A GAME FOR A CRAPPY DBZ MOVIE.

why are people hating Namco Bandai for this?? it wasnt theyre fault the movie is pure *****.
   by Flamesack112 - 2009-02-08
 » It would suck to work for Namco/Bandai

They come out with Soul Calibur 4. And half the people are working on this POS.
Must feel good that you get to program and work on what looks to be the worst game I've seen in a long time.

I like GTA IV
How realistic is that police finally gets you afterl you blow up their helicopter with an RPG you took out of nowhere?

   by blackthorn - 2009-02-08
 » LOL!

As soon as big budget dev teams get access to a marketable licence they figure they can release any old bull***** and it will sell on the name alone.

Abominations like this should never be rewarded with turning over a profit.

I personally loved the comment in the clip 'Aw no it's actually more down to earth, it's a little bit more realistic is the word' - ROFL!!!!!!
