No Xenoverse 3 in 2019?

Post by shadd21 » Sat Mar 17, 2018 6:53 pm

I remember reading some rumors saying that Xenoverse 3 was not in development.. [spoiler]and instead, an action rpg based on pre-Z Dragon Ball was being worked on.[/spoiler] Was this rumor ever debunked?

I'm still clinging to the hopes we get a Burst Limit 2.

Burst Limit 2 with Buu Saga - Future Trunks Arc would be awesome. Gameplay felt so good in it shame about...well everything else lol

I doubt that now that FighterZ is around. Budokai is stale compared to it now.

Responding to the thread itself: whenever it comes to rumors like this, for any game, I always ignore them until some sort of official confirmation comes. It saves me a lot of time otherwise spent worrying or wondering.

Seconded, though admittedly mostly just because I want to play as Goten in the updated Budokai style. xD But hey, I also remember the super cool-looking re-enactment cutscenes, graphical style that still looks nice today, and at least 1 memorable song! So I guess it had a few more pluses going for it.

I dunno', I'd say they're two different styles; the Budokais being the Tekken to FighterZ's Blazblue. There's definitely great appeal to both still.

For the topic, I say that if it is true that an RPG game in the works, then hell with it, as long as they have more time to work on another Xenoverse game. 2020 would be the perfect year for a XV3.

That's not the point though. Namco Bandai said that they are trying to appeal to both fanbases, with one side favoring the 2-D/competitive games and the other favoring the 3-D simulator/adventure. Since FighterZ is doing a good job catering to its fanbase, I say there's no need for a Budokai game anymore. Those days are done!

I would to play as a teenaged Goten from EOZ but that's a wild dream for me at this point.

Very trustworthy members here have inside info about it so it's happening. Even if you don't beleive them, why wouldn't the most successful DB game franchise get a 3rd game ? The Naruto storm series got 4 main game and 2 side games so as long as Toriyama and the main story keep going, it probably won't stop at a 3rd game.

Tenkaichi was a huge success and it got three games and that was it although fans kept wishing for a 'Tenkaichi 4.' To be fair, Tenkaichi 4 does exist but it's titled Raging Blast and Tenkaichi 5 is Raging Blast 2.

I'd take a pre-Z Action RPG over the umpteenth DBZ sim any day.

So sorry, but I don't think that's how it works. Mind to provide a legit/official source for your knowledge about it?

The difference is that the tenkaichi series had no new material to use. The 3rd covered everything from DB, Z & GT. Tenkaichi 2 had nearly everyone you could want from a DB game.

XV 2 on the other had still has multiple characters it needs to add from Z, GT & Super. It also hasn't given us any DB characters and that's not counting what comes after Super such as new movies and a series.

No can do.
Believe me or not, I know that it's been in development for at least a few months.

Xenoverse games don't count. Raging Blast were developed by Spike the same company that produced the Tenkaichi series so they were subtle sequels without making a big deal out of it, even on the rear cover of RB1 it says "Next Level Tenkaichi" so that speaks for itself.

Great to know, I believe you. Do you actually know a little more about it? It seems like Dimps is co-developing the new game, Legends, which looks quite good in terms of art-style compared to Xenoverse 2 which is making me hope XV3 will aim for a more anime-like look.
