Ah man, the quality of the backgrounds and details of the stage look really really bad. It is like PS2 Remaster and not curren gen
Looks decent enough to me. Not every game needs to look like Skyrim Special Edition with 100 graphical mods installed.
But this looks like a cheap franchise effortless output... Backgrounds in Xenoverse look OK for example, but this is so bad.
The fights look like Legends from mobile in HD. I don't like the FX, fighting looks clunky.
I don´t know, I hope this is not the final look as the older Naruto games looked miles better than this

My. Sentiments. Exactly. Naruto UNS series had top notch character models and shading. I don't know how they got this one wrong.
Goku's face... Trunks' face... Freeza's face... and some of the shading/texture decisions are just poor.
Although, there are some visually satisfying elements. Goku's Gi and Piccolo's clothing are shaded very nicely. Some of the cutscenes I've seen have some creative choices I do appreciate.
Particle effects are too much. I didn't like them in Storm 4 either...

Meh, I prefer games in general to have their own original soundtrack and not pull or remix the ones from their respective TV series, but if I can get used to the Legacy of Goku series using Faulconer's tracks, then there should be no problem with this one.

i think for a game that's trying to tell most of Z's story in detail, than yeah they should probably go with something closer to the original score of the show, along with a few new tracks. obviously for fighting games or games like xenoverse, a new soundtrack makes more sense.

I agree with this fully. I never expected to get Kikuchi in this game, but finding out that we were was a great reveal.
The pre-order bonus include:
- A training mode which allows to fight projections of a character. More specifically, Bonyu. The former Ginyu Force member Bonyu, who was originally designed by Akira Toriyama.
- A extra story called "A dangerous party with friends". The story is about everyone coming together to celebrate the return of Goku from the planet Yardrat.
- Bento. An edible meat item that increase your stats.
And here's the cover art:

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Wonder if you can get that extra stuff in dl later. Is pre ordering more expensive? Also, extremely generic cover art.

Wait, does Bonyo only appear in this training mode?
Hmmm, wonder what's gonna happen in that extra story. Only thing I can think of that would be worth being a pre-order bonus is a boss fight against a movie villain or somthing.
And my god, that is a boring ass cover.

Goku was wanked to hell in Z, even when he wasn't in the room and everyone else was secondary to him. In fact, this was a major issue Goku had, which is why he didn't want to do anything in the Buu Saga.

I'm actually fine with the minimally designed cover, it's just that the art itself is kinda generic.
As far as the pre-order stuff goes, glad I've already ordered so I'll get all of it, but huh. Is...an extra mode and a story in the middle of a game something that's usually included in pre-order DLC? Seems a bit weird.

Yeah, there's plenty of games that include an extra mission as a pre-order bonus.

God, these box arts are getting more dumber and dumber ever since Xenoverse 1. I miss the American and European box arts. THOSE were more creative than the original ones.

Yeah, the PS2 era especially always had cool boxarts. Made it really 'pop' as opposed to something meh with only 1 or 2 characters.
Can I pre-order the physical game instead of the digital one? is that possible? I was planning to get the dvd
I'm not crazy about the orange background of the cover. I'd prefer the typical blue sky of the opening, specially with the open world the game is bringing or even the promo black image with just Kakarot on it. Don't hate it either.
