"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

anyone else buying the ps3 or 360 version of this game because they don't have a current-gen console? please tell me i'm not alone.

I'll be getting it for Ps3. I have no issue for it last gen. Ps4 isnt in my budget right now.
I also don't really care about Kinect or camera features, as long as it plays fine seperate from those differences I'll have the problem. Hopefully the graphics won't drop down drastically on Last gen releases.

At this point, I'm fully convinced that the "mystery character" is either created or fully customizable. I mean, I'm not saying that the design isn't original...

There is a reason why the mystery character is so unoriginal.

The mysterious new character is still being held close to their chest, but the company does note that it is quite intentional that he seems to have features from many other, established characters in the series. The time machine, hourglass, and other features in these futuristic locales will all tie together.

What do they mean when they say "New to the franchise" though? That implies an actual character.

Not a kingdom hearts fan huh? joke I had too. Yeah I understand now I meant more say like shin Budokai seemed to ignore the time travel rules I was ok as game was great but yes I don't want new guy to be god-mod levels either

I have mixed feelings about that game, the plot to another road sounded perfectly plausable on paper of not encouragable for me, but executed in the poorest way I've ever seen.

Fair enough Each to their own. Hopefully this game is one everyone can enjoy.

Now I have learned how to do the timespan feature, and i would still like to apologize on how i annoyed some of you.

You can see the z sword background, it gives me hope that gohan will have the ability to use the zsword

Guys check out this article. I hope it hasn't been posted already.
For those of u who are getting the last gen versions of this game only, brace yourselves for possible disappointment. I know I ws a little discouraged. Read 'em and weep.

For what it's worth the screens they posted look amazing (probably from the current-gen version) and the actual new info is interesting, although I don't really care about the inclusion of Kinect/Eye for the game.

Oh...

I just want a game like raging blast 1 with a big roster and characters with what if transformations like ssj3 vegeta and gohan, etc

This comment posted on the news' section is what's wrong with the fanbase, asking for a shitty game to be brought back despite all of its flaws. I can't believe someone would actually say the camera in RB1 was good.

I'll confess that the Opening video, great cartoony graphics, some decent BGMs, roster is somewhat organised, letting preview the costumes with the characters and customising the items are all great but this really doesn't make up for the crap that the game is mostly made of.

What good is it if a game's gameplay is broken as well as the camera? Those pros that I listed just are bonuses to it, not essentials.

[xmysticgohanx]

The camera isn't broken at all, unless you mean because it's 3d

[Shinnin]

RB1's camera isn't broken. It's just shitty.

Namco's unoriginal fanfic made game-canon. Yay.

Its always out of focus, hence a broken camera.

Exactly, its comments like what you quoted that makes these games always suck - when Namco reads them and assumes it generalizes what we all want they start to use that as the marketing gimmick. Not once has a DBZ game after burst limit has EVER been marketed on its gameplay. Just characters with vague possibilities and hypathetical proposals, never anything actually critically improved. The idea of a Raging Blast 3 feels utterly pointless, as a major step backwards for what? 5 new characters exchange and RB1's inhereted gameplay flaws? No thanks. Nothing about Raging blast was remotely rewarding over BT3. Linear combo strings, unbalanced characters, generic of generic stages, barely any content, baby-step quality improvements? I'd be in senior retirement home before we actually get a good game from Spike at the rate they build on their games. Raging Blast 1 and 2 were basically the same game for me with nothing but reduced combat and superficial gimmicks out the ass.

When you see goku twirling he automatically gets back up, it was the same feature as in battle of z, were the character uses one hand to get up fast, so this time it wont take long for the character to get back up.

I believe Budokai already had that though.

Wonder how people would react if Spike was shown to made this game with the same trailers and quality

I'd be left even more speechless than I've been with all this Kai business.

Most of the time I played Raging Blast 1 the damn camera wasn't able to track the opponent which he'd either be above or below but thankfully Spike fixed this on Raging Blast 2.

Battle of Z also has camera issues but it's not RB1-bad.

RB1's camera isn't broken. It's just shitty.

It hardly ever works properly, so it is broken.

Besides the can I thought Rb was very fun. Same with Rb2 though Rb2 lacked content. Burst Limits bored me though. I had it when it came out and then returned it. Didn't catch my interest. I rented it years later. I was more bored. Least Rb series had replay value.

I have actually started to despise Raging Blast. The story was the most poorly executed thing I've ever witnessed in my life. Tedious, too. Though RB2 was generally okay. The challenge mode thingy they have is preeeetty cool.

Raging Blast 1 made it hard to play the story mode extras due to those damned stars or whatever they're called. I don't know how the fuck Spike thought that'd be fun to collect.

I didn't even bother haha. You had to replay that shit 3+ times. Annoying as fuck.

[TheRed259]

I am watching various websites noting that the game's title has to do with the Greek word ''Ξένος'' (Xenos) but I don't know if there is an official confirmation for that. Most of them say that the word ''xenos'' comes from Ancient Greek and means strange, foreign or alien (implying that this has to do with the new character).

But I want to point out that the very 1st meaning of the word ''Xenos'' in Ancient Greek is ''friend'' and has to do with Zeus Xenios and hospitality. It actually means, ''friend from hospitality'' (rough translation), a person that you do know from the past because you did provide housing to him.

So if ''Xenoverse'' has truly to do with ''Xenos'' and we take the very 1st meaning of the word into consideration then we can say that this character must be Future Trunks.

[JeffJarrett]

It's related to hospitality. A film which include this term was released recently:

I think good gameplay should make a game playable. Sure Burst limit lacked a lot of content but I still find it very replayable because its gameplay is that good, it leads to thought that was Dimp's focus which I find more respectable than them just filling a bad game with a lot of irrelevant useless things that wont be fun anyway if the gameplay isnt fun itself.
