"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[MCDaveG]

We'll have to wait for some more footage and gameplay later.
As Tony Shoupinou from Bandai Europe said: ''DB Xenoverse won't be shown at Gamescom''.
So it looks like there is still lot of going in the game development?

But it will be at Tokyo Game Show, almost two months away though.

Great! I wonder what will they show us. Altough since after PS3, I'm extremely cautious with DB games and wait way long after the release and follow player and fans' reviews.
I was hyped up for Battle of Z and I'm extremely gratefull that I didn't bought it right away after release but actually never bought it. Maybe being jobless at that time helped a lot as well.

I'm hoping that they'll reveal a release date for the demo on 360/PS3/PS4/XO because it's hard to pre-order a game like this, yeah it's sort of Tenkaichi-sh but that alone doesn't make a good reason, although to support Dimps then yes. I think the gameplay will be mostly the same on all platforms and the current-gen with better graphics.

I really hope this is the case, I don't want to go Sonic Colors/Generations style and make last-gen a dumbed down version and say "Well, atleast you can play the game right ?"

I agree with your sentiment, but not your example. Especially since many regard Colors as superior or equal to Generations.

No that's not what I meant, both games have a handheld release, in which the portable version is made by none other than DiMPS, however, those versions are not 3D platformers but 2d* (in contrast to the console version) but DiMPS knows hows how to make 3d Sonic games (demonstraded in the PS2/Wii verisons of Unleashed and 3DS of Lost World), so it's always that feeling that the handheld versions are just a "Well, atleast you can play it" deal.

*Keep in mind that Generations already has a segment dedicated to 2d (Classic Sonic), so DiMPS making both segments 2d kills the objective of having 2 seprarate Sonics.

Some small updates:

Amazon UK & ShopTo dropped the price from £41.99 to £39.85 for the 360/PS3 versions.

Bandai Namco revealed two new games:

Digimon All-Star Rumble (only for 360/PS3 so yeah, no PS4/XO/WU)
Falling Skies (360/PS3/PC)

It's a shame Bandai Namco's going to release Digimon All-Star Rumble exclusively for the last-gen consoles forgetting that the current-gen would make quite a lot of good use, especially PS4 and Xbox One since they don't have their own Super Smash Bros. (PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale might've been a flop so don't expect a sequel) games.




While Bandai's at it, couldn't they make a Super Smash Bros. of Dragon Ball too? We've had it before with Battle Stadium D.O.N, Ultimate Jump Stars but they never were released in EU/US.

3DS of Lost World

In the beginning they were on the right path to making an exceptionally great portable 3D Sonic but then they screwed it up with the gyroscope and overly long levels which really aren't any fun at all, and for those who make an objective to collect all the Red Rings (like me) it's even worse.

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

New Digimon Rumble Arena (Because that's what it is) what?

[miguelnuva1]

Yeah Rumble Arena 3.

[Super Sayian Prime]

That game is as much a sequel to Rumble Arena as Xenoverse is to Burst Limit.

The Rumble Arena games were 2D Smash Bros. inspired releases. This is a 3D arena fighter that looks really rough:

Given it already has a release date attached, I'd hold off on that preorder.

With a release date as 11/11/14 it's certainly going to collide with Super Smash Bros. 4 which is coming out also during Winter and by that time people will be buying SSB4 copies like crazy or Wii U bundles that have it (parents/gamers).

This is quite unfortunate but Bandai can either delay the release of it or have it published earlier to not be completely overshadowed.

Digimon All-Stars Rumble by the looks of it is a mix of Power Stone and Super Smash Bros. which is fantastic!

If it's unrelated to XENOVERSE, please leave it out of the conversation. Thanks.

[Hellspawn28]

Well Gamescom is soon, I hope we will see something there.

[MCDaveG]

Nope, we won't. Bandai Europe said that after fans were asking them.

[Hellspawn28]

Darn that's a shame. Well if LSSj4 Broli is going to be in Heroes soon then do you guys think LSSj4 Broli will be in it similar how LSSj3 Broli was in the first Raging Blast game?

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I hope we see some what-is, but it's been a pretty long times since we've had any. I don't see SS4 Broli being on the roster though, especially if we don't really get any other GT characters (mainly the other SS4s).

[Hellspawn28]

It been like since 2009 when we got any what if stories in any game. What if stories are always fun. I still like to see Super 13 vs. Super 17 and Dr. Gero vs. Dr. Uiro be done as a what if story one day.

So far it looks promising and I hope so much for Bandai and Dimps, that this game will be finally good one!

I'm really glad they're opting to make a new soundtrack form the get-go instead of just doing it because the west can't have Kikuchi, makes me assured that it will be awesome and won't have tracks from older games. (On an unrelated note, wish they went the J-stars and Gundam VS route and let us replace the tracks ourselves as well.)

Battle of Z has a really nice soundtrack when you're only listening to the ones made purposefully for the game and not the recycled, same goes for Ultimate Blast too. A shame that Bandai never produces CD releases for the games they put out (except during RB1 and such).
