OMG! No transformations?!!!, *falls to his knees Earth Song-style*...

Noooooooooo!!!!

I dunno if this is old. But the chances of not having IGT's (in-game transformations) is like, REALLY high! There's a bunch of ppl on gamefaqs and IGN that carefully study every single BT vid. And everything they've seen so far hints at no IGT's in BT! Basically it's almost solid proof, the way they studied every single detail and how they came to this conclusion. They can back their statements up.

This is so going to suck. Imagine playing as Frieza. You'll have like FIVE seperate characters for him. All 5 of his forms are awesome to play with, because you can just toy with your opponent. So now, if you want to change form in the midst of a fight, you'll have to quit the fight and start a new one after selecting one of Frieza's other forms!
That's...it's just....i.....nnggggg *starts rampaging through the house, then jumps out of the window*

It sounds likely and im with you it sucks, its a move made to please power lovers and faggots who cant play the game properly because now they can be SS4 all the time straight away with no skilll yay *The characters look great, especially when you switch back and forth between their many different ki forms* this quote gives me hope still tho, that came from Gamespots preview

Yeah i know, but it says 'back' as well. And de-transforming has always been something B fans could only dream of. And wtf, Ki forms, is it that difficult to get into a game? He could've just written 'forms'.

Ugh, no IGT's is so un-practical. The whole game's dynamic style of fighting where the tides could turn at any moment has been shot to death. The feeling of power when you transform, now that's the Dbz feeling, power. And it's all gone now. I just can't grasp it, having to select a form! It's ridiculous! *insane laughing*

Ahem, sorry lol.

powering up and down like that sounds great. No IGTs sounds sucky, it will worsen this game for me, i know others aint that bothered but i am, DBZ needs active transforming in fight environments. Like you said feel the power as u pull off that desperate win witha well timed transform. I hope this isnt right because they were on the brink of perfection here

You're 100% right, they were on the brink of perfection indeed... Transformations were your friends, and the whole complexity/strategy they brought with them was awesome. For example, Frieza's 1st form gave you a Krillin advantage. Frieza's second form gave you a 'reach' advantage, more power, but you'd give up your size adv. Frieza's third form gave both of afore mentioned pros with even more power, but made you an easy to hit target, due to the size of the model. Frieza's final form had no reach or size adv, but incredible power. 100% final form gave even more power but drained like hell, just as in the show.

All of this will be gone with BT. I have a hard time believing they actually considered all this and decided to throw it all away.

Thats a pretty good rate on Frieza acually, i find he works exactly like that. My god im gonna hate not being able to shift like that. Its so in his character to just morph nastier when the goings tough. I cant believe theyd make this fundamental error i really cant. Like i said perfection is ere steps from their grasp. I hope they hear me when i say *DONT LET IT GO YOU IDIOTS!*

It's also going to take a while getting used to the controls. If this game sucks, they should make a new one with the same controls, and IN GAME TRANSFORMATIONS! This is dumb that they are not in. BIG mistake by spike IMO!

We can all master the controls in the end tho, the transforms tho is one stigma this game wouldnt recover from. Like we said its so damn near to perfect. I hope they havent made this mistake

Man I was really looking forward to Transformations in BT but I heard about this on Dranium that there is none oh well is all I can say still hope the game will be good but it would always of been better with Transformations is all I can say.

The whole thing that drew me into the previous budokai titles was the transformations, the fighting experience was secondary. It now looks like Spike have removed the importance of transformations in the in-game fights. This is a big mistake if they go with the decision to leave out in-game transformations.

Still, it's not official. So there's still a little bit of hope left, probably comparable to dropping a load of brick and wood from the air hoping it will form a house.

haha good analogy and sadly an accurate seeming one. I dont believe the so called official confirmation going around forums right now. Some guy from Atari was alledgedly on the Atari forums and confirmed no IGT but i find it highly dubious so we have some hope still. the same hope as urinating through a polos middle and hoping its still edible afterwards (i joined the analogy gruop lol)

Hahaha, yeah, or like dropping a bag of marbles hoping it will spell your name, lol.

And even if it is official, remember that BT is not a follow up to B3. The official name is Tenkaichi Sparking, nothing to do with Budokai series. So let's hope B4 will give us what we've been hoping for all the frikkin' time.

Budokai 4? never really thought about it. I somehow doubt such a thing will ever be made. Tho if they do it should be with TBs roster and adding in hmm...Super 13, GJ, Cui, Salsa and some others (not Tapion or Hildergarn os they suck ass)

if there ever was a b4, they should keep the current roster of Bt and add Cui, Pui Pui, Spopovich, Yakon, and Garlic junior for completion.
