i guess they are just re-using the DBO idea, but nothing more.

If it was single player exclusive maybe, online it would be broken no doubt.
Though with B3 the stat system didnt seem to matter at all except for the health, everything felt exactly the same.
A real level system should actually buff you based on the direction of your skills. BT2 did this somewhat. B2 did this with the MAP-excusive buffing stats actually active in battle. I want a level system that actually does something in battle.

But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

Didn't Battle of Z had a levelling system? Although it might've been different from the rest with the cards and all.

Budokai 3 leveling system needed some work but it did effect the battle. The combos did more damage. Ki attacks got stronger and ki blast to less we energy. Ect.

Hope the opening is cool.

Them making the level system actually affect the strengths of characters in the single-player modes imo is important for one reason, and one reason only. It's the ONLY thing you can take from the series, and transition it into a game without it making a single character useless. If we only got use of canon characters, they could try to translate that to a game, If only for the fact that as a competitive fighter based on character building. Translating things like power levels into a game works well in an RPGs where it's just you, and you can power level the hell out of the characters rather have items loosely or abstractly buff you..

Keep an eye on Bandai Namco's FaceBook pages and YouTube channels as they'll possibly be posting updates there.

FaceBook - Bandai Namco Games: https://www.facebook.com/namcobandaigam ... pe?fref=ts
Facebook - Dragon Ball Z Games: https://www.facebook.com/DBZ.videogames?fref=ts
YouTube - Bandai Namco Europe: https://www.youtube.com/user/NamcoBandaiGamesEU
YouTube - Bandai Namco Japan: https://www.youtube.com/user/nbgi

Hoping they'll announce a date for Dragon Ball: Xenoverse demo (360, PS3, PS4, XO) oh and a Vita version too! PSP had three Budokai games (SB1, SB2, DBE) and Vita would be perfect for Xenoverse! I'd rather have a Dragon Ball game on the 3DS for nostalgia's sake but it might not be happening any more. :-/

Edit: This English version of the trailer sounds more natural and authentic than the one narrated by Sabat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuD_UjKGoGs

I don't think we'll get PS Vita version, my bet is via Remote Play.

Bandai Namco made some cool announcements today on their FaceBook page but nothing Dragon Ball related. For those that want to see them, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/namcobandaigam ... am&fref=nf

Let's wait till tomorrow I guess we'll start seeing Xenoverse reveals on July 3.

NSUNSR got a cool video showing most of the features. Doubt we get that, but it'd be nice if they at least told us more about the story, if GT is in, and of course describe the combat to us some more.

Double-check the videos before posting them here. It's the exact same trailer as the E3 one.

I've defended you before because they're a little too tough on you, but there's nothing new in that video that I saw.

It's already been pointed out that WeeklySaiyan has been around since pre-2009, and this person is like 13?

Maybe he's lying. Even I starting to get annoyed with the posting. Check the thread first then post "new info"

That kidtrunks guy has a website link. That takes you to a youtube channel which I can only presume is his. It's not WeeklySaiyan though.
