Yeah I think the final trailer has to truly be impressive to win people back. It just seems very laid back as though they know people will be buying it regardless of what new content or the effort they put it. It is good to because at the same time it would be bad if they had a "No Man's Sky" type of marketing and PR push to give a recent example.

Yeah, NB needs to do a better job with the marketing. The game may come in a couple months, but still, at least show a few more new stuff. Prior to Gamescon, they had the exact same demo with the same playable characters in every event that they went.

Say, when is the Gamescon trailer coming? Is it tonight?

I don't think so and if we get one it'll probably be the same one we already have.

That's the mindset nearly everyone involved with the franchise has had since BOG.
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

That damaged outfit Majin Vegeta is wearing looks awesome. I'm still keeping my hopes up for costumes instead of Presets.

The fact that Cooler is reffered to in the game as 'Cooler (Fourth Form) makes me think his fifth form will be a seperate character.
Ugh. Not this shit again. I hate the idea of transformations being counted as separate characters. It's just such a lazy way of beefing up the roster. Whoever is in charge of marketing this game should be fired.

Yeah, whose great idea was it? Why is the budget of the game so low they can't bother putting every form into one slot? :roll:

I guess because imho Cooler/Freeza/Cell/Buu forms should work differently than how SSJ transformatins work in XV.

No, it's the same character, & they haven't gotten this right since Budokai 3.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

To be fair, Dragon Ball games have done the whole "transformation counts as separate characters" deal in games for quite while now. I'll never forget how in GT: Final Bout there were six different versions of Goku. :lol:

I hope they at LEAST have Golden Frieza as a transformation. I'm not too bothered by the others since I see how the transformation system in this work as temporary buffs, therefore Frieza's Gold form and Zarbon's Monster form should work the same way as the SSJ transformations.

That's neat, that increases the chances for guys like Bojack to appear (though I still doubt Garlic Jr, doctor Wheelo, and Hirudegarn/Tapion will appear for some reason :?).
Tapion is too popular not to be added in the game. I bet most of the roster won't be shown until closer when the game is released. The game's roster will probably be leaked like a week before the game is released.

If we take the Frost Demons having the Golden Form as a transformation into account, I find it very likely that Frieza will be able to use his Golden Form without being a separate character. Do you think his Full Power slot would work the same way?

I never liked that about Budokai 3. Always preferred BT3 where you could start and stay transformed the whole fight

It's impossible to pull off something as seemingly basic as Goku VS Frieza in Budokai 3. Not only must you charge ki up to Super Saiyan level, you need to hope your opponent does the same into Final Form or Full Power.

Back on-topic, does all the DLC, and presumably characters, from XV being in the base game here mean the story will cover it all, or will we be forced to play Parallel Quests to unlock the same characters as the first game?
