Bandai Namco doesn't have a press conference. The game will either be on the show floor or demoed behind closed doors. I expect a vague teaser trailer either way.

The E3 app (and probably website) does confirm Bandai Namco's presence on the show floor with Dragon Ball, and there're a couple of small pictures from the upcoming trailer going around.

Should be revealed today, I assume.

Hiring Monolith to make a much needed sequel to Attack of the Saiyans, on the other hand, would be awesome. (With more relevant movie villains as secret bosses, though.)
Haven't played AotS but from what I've seen it seems like a great game and damn, I didn't knew Game Republic had been shut down that's really a shame 'cause those Dragon Ball games they produced (DB:O1, DB:O2, DBK:UB) were highly addictive and great fun.

Oh well, I just hope this 'nother Dragon Ball Z game turns out to be at least good.

There are two pictures I managed to see. Only issues are

1. Low quality

2. I only saw it from a fucking youtube video. Can't find where the original pictures actually are

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKQ7Y07wG-I

skip to 0:27. Or just view the most relevant pic I got from the video
My annoyance at this aside, did anyone else manage to see any other pics recently?

Kaioken has a pretty accurate anime color palette (from what I can tell). Haven't seen that since Budokai 3/Infinite World.
I am a freelance animator, check out my thangs. ART!

The first and last scenes looked so much like Burst limits its eerie. Especially the Perfect Cell Model in the background of cap one, it looks a lot like Dimp's Cell where his skin is so ghost white just like in Budokai 3.
Right, you could definitely see the similarity between Burst Limit and Dragon Ball New Project. I can predict that this is Dimps due to the fact that they always develop a Dragon Ball Z game at the start of each generation. For example, for the ps2 generation, Dimps were the first ones to bring budokai 1 following with Spike's Tenkaichi 1 in 2005. For the ps3 generation, once again Dimps brought Burst Limit in 2008 following with Spikes Raging Blast 1 in 2009. Now to start of with the ps4 generation, I think Dimps is developing this game following Spike next... Again I could be wrong, this is just my prediction.
I dunno if that theory holds water, it could have been coincidential. It doesnt really make sense production wise. Why give Dimps the opening, give us a good game on the debut - then drop them for a cheaper company to give us 3-4 shitty games inward? Why wouldnt they just keep Dimps on consoles if they make consistently outstanding games? Maybe the thing with the Spike favoritism on the consoles was them trying to cash in on Tenkaichi's popularity but just failed time and time again.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

Those images are from the Youtube upload of the trailer. Bandai Namco EU pre-emptively uploaded the video but have it set on private. They linked it to their Dragon Ball play list, which made the URL public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb58d7KldDg

You're able to extract a few frames that are used as Youtube's thumbnails, even if the video is private:

Even though it's blurry as hell I'd bet this says "Bandai Namco Games Presents".

Starting to think this is a Spike game but I hope it actually isn't.

So quantity is what matters to you? No wonder the game industry is in such a mess.

You would be surprised how many of the fanbase has been conditioned into this mindset because of Namco's marketing. A lot of people cared more about what-ifs and extras than actual gameplay until UT happened. It kinda woke people up a bit but sadly Namco doesn't see the reaction as critic, they actually think UT and BOZ were successes.
sintzu wrote:There's no reason to why we can't have both
I highly doubt they'll give us the BT load again. They seem to only want the main characters and Beerus as their marketing gimmick. For whatever reason they seem to be planning on ignoring GT even though the characters were very well recieved in the games. Unless Beerus is as hard as Omega Shenron was in Battle 100, Beerus won't be enough to make me buy this game.

So ur telling me we can't have both like it was for the bt series? And no the game industry isn't such a mess because of demand of high quantity, it's the low quality bs that has made this industry a mess.
