"Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3" Official Discussion Thread

I just hope for better gamplay and AI. The AI on your team during single player mode is awful in both games as they would leave you hanging while you are dead. The combat still feels shallow without not enough combos to pull off.

I agree. The ally AI in the first 2 games is dogshit, meanwhile enemy AI is actually pretty good. They really should revamp it for this game to be better.

Wasn't there supposed to be something about this game at Gamescom or was that just a "playable booth here" thing?

Just the same demo

[IntangibleFancy]

The past 2 months of marketing has just been them recycling the same demo and trailer info.

[Grimlock]

Yeah, marketing is not something Dragon Ball is good at anymore. I was expecting this, of course, so I'm not too bothered as I would be a few years back. But it still sucks.

[angeldreamZ004]

I've been seeing people say that quite often. So what could be the reason for it? This marketing thing might be related to the rights dispute. Capsule Corp Tokyo taking care of anime and videogames may have led to a cut in this kind of investment, which was a lot stronger when Shueisha had the total control over everything. Now with shared rights, they lost the interest, at least most of it. My hypothesis at least, and this is something that surely would need more history analysis for better comparison. (People say that the marketing started to really suck with Super Hero, well, 2022 was when everything started before the climax of the shakeup in 2023)

[Bardock God of Time]

I'm assuming the game won't release early 2027 like most of us are thinking, I think it might be a mid or late 2027 thing.

But there is a State of Play on September 3rd so maybe we'll get information there?

New trailer!

[The Dark Knight]

New trailer teases Original Dragon Ball making it into the game.

Trailer description says you can learn from 130+ characters "including NPCs"

Xenoverse 2 has Goku divided into:

Goku (Z).
Goku (SsjG).
Goku (SsjB).
Goku (UI Sign).
Goku (MUI).
Kid Goku (GT).
Goku (Ssj4).

Despite there being 7 Gokus, you can only learn from regular Goku in the story mode, so that's likely the case here as well. Xenoverse 2's playable roster, including all the variants and DLCs, comes up to roughly 140 characters, so if there are almost that many just to learn from in the story mode, then we're getting a very large roster of playable characters.

The good news Androids are confirmed as a playable race. The bad news their are only a total of 6 races. So their will be no new races beyond that.

[kemuri07]

Ah never mind

[comicstar100]

The timer on transformations was removed from the backlash of the first demo. It is now tied to your ki.

Ah nevermind what?

[Mr Baggins]

Well it looks pretty good I guess, but will it have DEEPEST LORE?

[angeldreamZ004]

So it's not going to have Rom's (supposedly Makai) race? They even gave her what's clearly a transformation (different hair design, different hair and eye colors, horns and tail), so that surprised me, I hope the reason is because they want her character to be special or something else, and not something like time constraints.

I guess there will be no Biological / Cell-like Androids.

It wasn't confirmed by them, but seeing a lot of sites and people saying that and that it was shown at Gamescom, so it might be true. That change was quite fast in my view.

Also, I would like to note that the Soul Switch mechanic doesn't show up here (no sign of the halo-like Capsule Corp symbol over the official characters' heads) So maybe they are going to get rid of that as well? Many people disliked that too as far as I know.

[Grimlock]

Oh, I have no doubt of that. And I'm sure there will be a "story trailer" of some sorts, that's what I'm looking forward the most, of course. But I guess I'll have to wait until next year for that.

[Makaioshin]

They still aren't showing off too much which leaves this trailer where showing off you can be a fat guy is one of the top selling points. I am looking forward to making a big guy Freeza clansman though.
