It might seem absurd by nowadays standards, but back in the SNES era, a roster of only 10 characters in a fighting game was usual. It would never happen in a fighting game today, but for the sake of imagination, imagine a new fighting game can - for some reason - afford to come out with only 10 char...

^ I think the usual Toei problem involves green but also sometimes yellow, right? Can't say about the green tint as I don't notice it as much as other people, but I did notice the yellowish tint on a few of the movies in the pack, it's even pretty intense on DBZ movie 7. So it's pretty safe to bet t...

In the Dragon Ball Super anime in France, a character's name was changed as it was believed to be a reference to something and the reference was switched for a more popular reference in our country. The character is Magetta, and it was believed to be the combined names of Mazinger Z and Getter Robo ...

^ Well, I guess since they have to make very impressive next-gen (or actually "current-gen") models, they can't create as many as people would fantasize about, at least not at the beginning. I think you really have to think about what they would deem essential to touch a bit of every part ...

^ It's a possibility, but that wouldn't be enough if the forms are their own characters. Then Normal Goku would be far from Super Saiyan Goku who would be far from Super Saiyan 3 Goku. In any case, for quick selects, they should find the right balance. You can't have too many character slots on scre...

^ Oh, I was talking about what happens in France, like this OG DB release. I know in the US, the publishers are not afraid to cancel a collection before the end (infamous case: the Level sets). In France, when it comes to DB, collections go to the end. And for DVD/Blu-ray boxes, the various parts of...

The character selection screen is going to be messy if they are not clever about the presentation. They should probably go with tabs (with L1 and R1) to switch between Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT for example, putting a limit to the number of character slots on screen and rows...

I find it kind of odd that it's been 5 months and the second box hasn't been announced or even teased. I hope it doesn't become a Level set scenario. Know what I'm sayin', bud? Judging from all previous DVD/Blu-ray boxes, they usually keep the follow-up for a good year after. So expect a full year ...

If you look at any fighting game released in the last few years, their base rosters always start small because they have to produce everything from scratch. This game will be no exception. Producing even a single new character in a fighting game can cost thousands of dollars. I certainly don't expe...

^ Something like that, I guess. I think, much like you, that the starting roster will be similar to the first Budokai Tenkaichi or the first Xenoverse, maybe a little more because a dozen of characters from Super would likely make it in. Over time, with DLCs, I expect the roster to become the larges...

What matters to me is the presentation, including the story mode cutscenes but not just that. Fighterz understood that even intro poses, win poses and ultimate attacks must be extremely well-designed with lots of references (which is even true for every single movement in Fighterz). It's something c...

Surely the roster won't be as big as BT3, for more than one reason. As others have said, the jump to a new generation with more complex models and animations to build is enough to always make them cut the roster in all DB games. Nowadays, creating new assets and environments and models take more tim...

I don't want to jump to conclusions - although this was to be expected - but the first pictures of the next DLC seem to confirm that ground battles will happen. You can clearly see Goku running sideways to dodge an attack as opposed to moving sideways in the air. This may seem like it was guaranteed...

We have those masters in the French release too, so after having watched all movies, I can tell you that middle fingers is the only thing that was censored to my knowledge.

None of the violence has been toned down or anything.

Surprisingly, the whole beginning of episode 5 of the Saiyans arc suffers from a constant, severe framerate drop in Quality mode, as if the console was struggling to keep up at all times. In Performance mode, this doesn't happen, there is no drop. The constant drop only happens during cutscenes (exp...

^ Some of those are meant to simply avoid a loading screen, even if loadings take only 5 seconds in the current-gen versions. You can see such a scene shows nothing that couldn't be handled in real time, but it was just to avoid the usual loading (notably a good number of times showing what's going ...

^ This is even more perplexing if the videos are actually encoded as 4K, because my only guess for the low quality was the size file (4K videos can be extremely heavy when I check recordings from my PS5, with 25 minutes weighting 8 GBs or 40 minutes weighting 14 GBs). Maybe it's an EXTREMELY compres...

^ It's probably to save on data space. As I stated before, those low-res cutscenes have been fully re-encoded for the current-gen to include the newest versions of landscapes. So since they made the extra effort to re-encode them all, they could have chosen to use a better resolution - and possibly ...

Some more notes as I'm progressing into the final episode of the Boo arc soon: - The "casual line thrown in" glitch I mentionned before will apparently happen when Goku teleports to stop Boo and Babidi and reveal Super Saiyan 3: he will say a cheerful line of arrival on the map when the cu...

Some more info as I continue my current-gen playthrough: - It seems the "slideshow" recap pictures that show up sometimes when the devs didn't want to animate cutscenes use the old graphics as a base, with the old versions of landscapes. - Unsurprisingly, the "maximum cutscenes" ...
