Dragon Ball video games have made somewhere north of $5 billion USD revenue throughout the series? lifespan. So, naturally, a new title was front-and-center at Bandai Namco?s E3 2019 booth. We got our hands on an early build to bring you our Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot E3 2019 preview.
Hello Nimbus, My Old Friend
Our demo began with some relaxed flying, high above the ground aboard a Nimbus, the ridable cloud that occasionally makes an appearance in the Dragon Ball series. Flying can be a challenging mechanic to get right in a third-person action game, and in Kakarot, there are two methods of flying, with and without the Nimbus. Goku can ditch the Nimbus and just fly regularly, if he needs some extra speed or agility. In either case, floating Dragon Ball orbs are available to collect, presumably to power up one of Goku?s many power meters or health bars. Some of these appeared in large circles, which were awkward to collect in either flight mode. Pressing a button to perform a corkscrew helped to pick up more than one orb in a single pass, but ultimately it was kind of a pain to collect every single one. Hopefully Bandai Namco can include some sort of automatic collection mechanism that is common in games that include such collectibles.
