"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[GoldLiger]

It's alright. I probably take for granted that not everyone listens to the podcast (or reads some of the occasional articles or Mike's forum posts where they use their real names instead of username).

Anyway, for anyone that wants to know:

Spoiler:

Apparently Towa is Dabra's sister.

How the living heck does a being that exist outside of normal time is related to someone within said time?

Wait, WHAT!!!

Spoiler:

Towa doesn't exist outside of time. She comes from Makai, just like Dabra. It isn't until she joins together with Mira that they start popcorning through time.

Wonder how she feels about her bro becoming some alien dwarf's bitch lol

Anyway.. Is anyone else bothered by the lack of character intros for the vs fights?... I mean I guess it'll be a lot to have six different guys with six different connections go through six different intros but still.

Running on the same engine as Street Fighter 4, I will be genuinely surprised if we cannot unlock it should it come locked out of the box. It was a simple .ini edit previously.

When did they ever say it's the same engine as Street Fighter 4? I highly doubt it is.

[Nickolaidas]

PS4 confirmed locked 30fps from multiple users now.

Cancelled my PS4 pre-order. Fuck that.

I'll just wait for the PC version then.

I agree. This is major bullshit. If The Witcher III can run on 1080p 30fps on a PS4, Xenoverse should run at least at *160* fps - not just 60fps. This is major bull and half of my respect for DIMPS' tech skills has vaporized. Unless lack of skill is *not* the reason they went 60fps (which I doubt).

As for the Imperfect Cell pic, it means nothing to me. 2nd and 3rd stage Frieza, Gero, and the entire Ginew Force were shown in Budokai 1 cutscenes. Remember how they were in the game's actual roster? Oh yeah, that's right, they weren't.

So unless DIMPS has planned at least six more DLC packs, don't hold your breath for Imperfect Cell or the rest of Frieza's forms ...

If you set your standards that high, you're bound to be disappointed.

PC will probably be locked to 30 as well just like every Naruto game.

[Nickolaidas]

Do I set my standards too high if I consider it a given to see a cross-platform game run in better framerate than it's predecessor does? The PS3 version runs at 30fps, PS4 should easily top that.

It's Dimps' in-house engine which is used for Street Fighter 4. It's just a modified version of it:



Just like Call of Duty has run on the original Quake engine for years on years. The actual config files have never once changed.

Not entirely sure why you highly doubted it. Engines are just base frameworks to build games on. Just look at the variety of stuff made in Unreal, for example.

PC will probably be locked to 30 as well just like every Naruto game.

Already covered this in another post. Should be easily unlockable if this is the case.

UPDATE:
Official confirmation on Bandai Namco's stream that it does run 30fps on next-gen.

There's no guarantee that this wont cause issues though.

[mysticboy]

Well damn that sucks that it's only 30 fps.

[Big Momma]

I didn't know that was his name. I'm... still new here.

Nah bro you're a "CRAZY REG" you should know this stuff by now.


I'm only kidding

[Chuquita]

Spoiler:

Surprised that Towa's his sister, but it does give motive to her involvement if she's joined Demigra's gang for revenge.

[Ajay]

Yup, this is true.

Hopefully their tech team is component enough to be using delta time so nothing should be affected by frame rate. We don't want another case of Need for Speed Rivals. That is lazy development.

The only negative we should experience from unlocking a frame rate cap would be increased difficulty in hitting frame specific timings. For casual offline play, that shouldn't matter.

EDIT: SCRAP EVERYTHING I SAID!

THEY JUST CONFIRMED 60FPS AND 4K SUPPORT ON PC ON THE STREAM.

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I'm so happyyyyyyyyy. Dragon Ball on PC and what appears to be a competent port. I am ecstatic.

Downsampling this game from 4K is going to be a dream. Holy shit, these weeks need to go by faster.

I'm keeping me pre-order on the PS4 but I'll definitely get this during a Steam sale, I did the same thing with the Naruto games.
