I watched that earlier. It wasn't as in depth as he makes it seem. He covered things people could pick up on their own I felt.

True but there's no way he could've went more in depth without playing the game itself. Most of what he said I didn't notice when I watched it tho.

Seeing how the game's story will only cover DBZ, i don't expect this game to have over 100+ characters.

There, posted the image. Really no need for a long video with a bad quality scan that has no new information. It's clear that is your Youtube channel.

Yeah, some aspects of the teleporting was new to me, but everything else I knew for the most part.

Screenshots from the PlayStation Store:
I didn't mention Beyond Two Souls 'cause it's a QTE festival, most of PS3's power used for eye candy.

This is a cross-gen game. I wouldn't be surprised if development is actually leading on PS3/360 with an up-port to current-gen platforms. It's probably built on the same underlying tech as the last Saint Seiya game from Dimps.
They said that the lead platphorms are PS4/XONE, but it's a cross-gen so there will not be much difference. On the other hand, I believe it's easy to tell that PS4/XONE will be 1080p@60fps.

I take it you didn't see Quantic Dream's concept trailer for PS4 at E3 2013, did you? inFamous: Second Son compared to inFamous 2 is drastic and I must say that as someone with a relatively powerful PC, playing most last gen games (e.g. Bioshock: Infinite) at full settings, the PS4 has had an impressive run of exclusive games and inFamous really did blow me away, as did elements of Killzone: Shadow Fall.

I don't think this game, if we've been seeing PS4 footage, looks too impressive although it is alpha footage so it's fair to give it the benefit of the doubt.

I hope this game proves to be better than Battle of Z ended up being. From what I've seen far it looks like it should be pretty good. Love the graphics, also I am curious as to who this new character that Namco Bandai has created for the game.

Yep, I didn't because it was too boring so I didn't even know about that.

Killzone: Shadowfall certainly shows what PS4 is graphically capable of but as a game it's just about okay.

The fact that it's being developed by Dimps already puts them above any other that the franchise has gone through (Spike & Artdink).

I'm not saying I don't believe Bandai Namco when they say the game is leading on current-gen, but what I'm saying is that I don't believe Bandai Namco.

Coming from Bandai Namco, I believe what they say when it's out for purchase. Sometimes not even that.

So you didn't even know about something that you knew was boring? So did you not know about it or did you know about it and decide it was boring without watching it?

Killzone showed what the PS4 could do at launch, now we're in July and three upcoming PS4 games surpass it graphically. inFamous being the first, Driveclub being the next (they've implemented a dynamic weather system recently which is just gorgeous) and the third is The Order 1886.

I do honestly expect more here but would cut DIMPs some slack until the games stop being cross-generation.

Sony always does the same boring ass presentations every year so I just skimmed through them instead. The only E3 which was worth watching this year was Nintendo's, and to some extent, Microsoft's as they gave us what we wanted, the games.

I'm not quite sure what some of you guys are expecting from a game which has cartoony graphics and as such it'll never reach the bar that others do.

Bu-but Quantic Dream PS4 demo wasnt' showed in E3, ah never mind...

The graphics are called 'Cel shading' and yes they can. CC2's Naruto games and Level-5's Ni no Kuni are great examples, I can't wait to see their work on "next gen" consoles. Dimps can't use all the power because Xenoverse is a cross-gen game, so I don't expect crazy things visually.

Boring? Oh, we're having one of those discussions. I know Sony may have catered too much to the hardcore crowd this year but I hardly think one could deem their presentation last year 'boring' when it was widely accepted that they 'won' E3. Although if you found Bloodborne, The Order 1886, Grim Fandango, No Man's Sky, Mortal Kombat, Batman: Arkham Knight, Destiny and LittleBigPlanet 3 boring or rather the showing of these games did not qualify as 'giving us the games' whereas you feel Microsoft did when in reality both presentations were full-to-the-hilt of games. Nintendo's was best but regardless of that I find your claim to be rather silly.

And the demo was shown last year, I did state 'E3 2013'.

Furthermore please remind me how cartoony games can't look 'good'? This game is not living up to the bar set by the PS4/XBO so far which includes games one would consider to be cartoon-like such as Knack, Sunset Overdrive, Child of Light, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, etc... These games could look phenomenal on the new consoles but this really doesn't visually impress whatsoever but it could end up looking better, hopefully.

As it somehow turns out, DB Xenoverse is ALSO sponsoring CosDay² 2014 in Germany. Now that was unexpected.
I hope we get some new infos or that there is gonna be a playable demo. I hope I can ask question, though...

CosDay² 2014 Sponsors being DragonBall Xenoverse, Nintendo and some other stuff...

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

They can reach the bar, but it's a different (not worse) one than games with non-cartoon graphics.

Bullshit. Kingdom Hearts is cartoony, and those games look better than plenty of contemporary "realistic" games.
