Also, this is a really fast turn around time. I hope there's more content and such.
Its one thing to make characters that weren't in game. But some made Piccolo or Goku like exactly, which is pointles imho
To each his own, but this does annoy the hell out of me...lol. I guess people wanted to run around Toki City with Goku
I noticed a lot of that when I last played the game too. It confused the heck out of me. I mean, I guess if someone wanted to, more power to them, but it just felt so...pointless. Did they really want to play through the story mode with already existing characters that badly?
I mean, characters that aren't in the game, or a different version of them, are fine IMO (I made two of those myself, an Oob and an older version of Pan), but just flat out making Goku or Piccolo again (both of which I've seen as well)...

I wouldn't worry about the short turn around time. Unlike last time the whole 'base' of the game is there and they don't have to worry about the old console versions remaining relevant. If they just add in most of the improvements people are asking for and deliver a good story then this game should be great.

This is why this game is shit.
You can't play your fav characters because none of them are viable against CAC.
Not only that, but even within the roster there is no balance. It's physically impossible to win a fight with Yamcha if you're fighting Beerus.
What's the point of the roster then ?

Wooooh, so excited for this. They better include the U6 characters and the Nameless Planet, and the Kame House. There's been some stuff that i'd like for them to improve and add, but i think its already been addressed pages back.

Why the hell would you want a pointless HD remaster of Tenkaichi 3 over a sequel to one of the most successful and original Dragon Ball video games ever made?
Tenkaichi 3 wasn't even that good. I cannot wrap my head around as to why so many people praise that game so much.
I can not blame them since BT3 is better than Xenoverse. Hopefully, its sequel will be a huge improvement.

Can you show me that
huge step up?

It runs at 60 FPS. Pretty big leap. Also one big hub instead of several mini areas, implying they use the RAM of current consoles now. So probably permanent destruction.

Because it has the most characters but XV2 will more than likely have more.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

And the vast majority of those characters played exactly the same. Quality > Quantity.

Is that supposed to imply XV is quality ? Because there is no universe in existence where that would be true.
Only the most recent characters are viable online.
You're a fan of Krilin or Videl ? Tough fucking luck they're entirely worthless in the game, due to shitty level based character roster, ON TOP OF PLAYER LEVEL.

Does anyone think that we will get some new things or info before E3?
I hope so, I can't wait another month!

This month's V jump will probably have something.
It's official release date is in 2-3 days so it'll probably get leaked any time now.

This isn't true at all, only a small handful of characters are really useless and those are mainly just the throw away henchmen and Satan.

It is entirely true. You have characters that have much more strength and / or stamina / ki than others for NO reason, while the weaker characters get nothing in return.
My favorite characters happen to be some of the weaker ones, I found it 0 fun due to having no chance against the SSJ spammers and/or stupid stamina bars. And that's if i'm lucky and they don't play their CaC.

It was already 60FPS on PC but half on current gen consoles. Probably they just port it from last gen and the whole "next gen bla bla" was just a PR message/marketing.
I don't expect much to be shown in E3. We'll see.

They showed a lot from the 1st game at E3 and it's release was later than this one so we'll probably get more than before.

No, it's really not true. Krillin and Yamcha are surprisingly some of the best characters in the game, and Videl was way better than she had any right to be. Beerus and Whis kinda suck in comparison because they don't have many good moves and have extremely average combos and stats. Tien sucks though. I have no idea why, but they made Tien and teen Gohan really suck.

Can we all just take a moment to talk about how amazing those CG animated cutscenes looked at the end of the trailer:
I can't wait to see more of these in the future.
I want a movie with animation like this.

That's honestly how the game should look like.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about
your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.
