Bandai Namco has unleashed raw gameplay footage for upcoming brawler Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, and boy does it have potential. A true successor to the Budokai Tenkaichi games gives Dragon Ball FighterZ a run for its money in the visuals department, and it quite clearly captures the insane action of Dragon Ball.
The showcase confirms what we already assumed: this is a fully 3D arena-style fighter, complete with a colossal character roster (supposedly made up over 160 forms). It's full of super-fast combos, massive special attacks, and instantaneous teleports. Again, there's huge promise here.
What's more, the game's producer is on hand to explain specific mechanics — some of which are new, and some of which are an evolution of what the Tenkaichi titles started. It's also stated that some of the combat effects simply wouldn't be possible on last-gen consoles — which is why it's coming to PS5 and not PS4.
The showcase ends with a new trailer, which just so happens to confirm a bunch of playable characters — many of whom are taken from Dragon Ball Super.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
I'm honestly shocked by how clean the graphics are. Game really is amazing, visually.
I’m just glad they finally got the Purple Comet Attack right
Great, the gazzilionth DBZ game. They all look and play the same.
When can us true fans expect an openworld DBZ with the quality of something like Dragons Dogma or Arkham or whatever.
And no Kakarot was low budget trash with PS2 flying gameplay
Sheesh, how do you even follow what's going on with this game?!
Fighting games are for the young, I guess!
The headline makes it sound like a bunch of characters in the game think the game is visually stunning.
This looks incredible. Tenkaichi 3 is one of my all-time favorite DB games, and this is looking like it'll deliver! I just hope there's an option to reduce the camera shake a little, as it seemed to jitter around alot during combos.
So Bamco's actually putting some budget behind this one then?
Just give me a release date, so I can preorder and contribute to the Toriyama estate. Man, I’ll miss that guy.
I’m assuming the game will have season passes? How many characters will be playable at launched?
The game looks really good, basically what a Budokai Tenkaichi 4 should be.
If this has a Collector's Edition, I'm going for

When Capcom told IGN that performance issues with the PC version of Dragon's Dogma 2 were likely due to how much CPU the game's more than 1000 unique NPCs demand, NPCs which can be killed off permanently, they probably should have anticipated what was always going to happen next.
