Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's Great Ape Vegeta Form Revealed
Right on the heels of today's biggest reveals, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has revealed a number of fan favorite moments from Dragon Ball Z in a new video. One massive reveal actually earns that descriptor as it includes the iconic form of classic Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta.
The video, posted by the YouTube channel Cerealkillerz, shows 24 minutes of gameplay through the Saiyan Arc, refered to as the Frieza Arc by the video, of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Most of that time is spent focusing on the battle between Goku and Vegeta during their first encounter in the series, but six minutes into the video, the game reveals Vegeta's towering Great Ape form, or Oozaru to fans.
This isn't the first time Great Ape Vageta has been shown, as the nostalgia filled commercial that brought Dragon Ball Z to life recently also showcased this impressive form before. However, this new video shows a more hands-on view of how the imposing encounter plays out in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as the player is tasked with going toe to toe with the behemoth. The Great Ape takes up so much of the screen that, while it might be difficult to miss with a well placed punch or Kamehameha, it moves quickly enough to make the idea of escaping its massive swings nearly impossible.
The fight follows the pacing of the original anime as well, going through all of the different forms of Vegeta as players have to keep fighting him with different characters in both his regular and Great Ape forms. This means that models of Vegeta throughout the fight have also been made for this encounter, including a battle worn version of the Great Ape. His design is just as impressive in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as it was in the original anime, towering the Great Ape high above Goku and making the player feel as tiny as the characters did in the show.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's combat showcased in this latest video looks impressive, and this fight against Great Ape Vegeta goes to show exactly how close to the original the game intends to stick. Longtime fans of both the older games and of the multitude of Dragon Ball anime series will be rewarded for their dedication to the franchise with some pretty epic fights. For the game to capture the stature of Great Ape Vegeta so perfectly and still make the fight something that looks playable speaks to the quality of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is set to release on January 16th, 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
