"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[enjyu123]

Guys I was wondering if we already saw the kid boo gameplay, if not than skip to 1:45 in this video and watch it, you can swim in water. Sorry for the bad quality or if this has already been posted.

I'm pretty sure that we all saw this video already. So underwater swimming and barrel rolls aren't new facts to us.

@Character Creator: I don't think that we will get pure humans. The Saiyans we currently have are pretty much hybrids in my opinion and appearance wise, humans and Saiyans are pretty much the same (besides tail and black hair). Although I'm excited for the Freeza race

Regarding Androids/Cyborgs, I don't think that they are gonna be in this game, I might be wrong. At best we are getting the Bio-Androids (as in Cell).

EDIT:
Regarding offline multiplayer: I still hope for splitscreen offline multiplayer, at least I wanna enjoy 1vs1 offline matches. 2vs2 offline matches is probably going to be a problem, especially for the PS360, so I can live 2vs2 matches being vs CPU/online only...

PS: Streaming equipment GETTO DAZE! Now to wait for the game release, so I can stream this freaking game.

But we've already been told the opposite. We first assumed that they would take the path of DBO and give us Earthlings with trace amounts of Saiyan DNA. The latest announcement after V-Jump's reveal of the Saiyans being included says we have Earthlngs, Namekians, Majin and now Saiyans. Which means Earthlings and Saiyasn are two different things in this game.

Lol, I didn't notice the kid boo gameplay, I guess, But swimming underwater and barrel rolls, I'm bought, DIMPS just come and take my money already.

Regarding the character creation they did say that they will have all the MAJOR races, so, IMO, Frieza, android and Kakaishin race are pretty much a given, anymore and I would be really surprised to be honest.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

If they use anything resembling the actual DBO plot, Towa and Miira aren't henchmen for the Kaiojikan.

Why would that be ruled out exactly? I dont see the story going by 2 villains parallel to each other competitng, the henchment concept makes most sense if the unrevealled guy is the new main villain.

We've already been told that all the major Dragon Ball races will be availible for customization in Xenoverse, with Earthlings, Saiyans, Namekians and Majins just being what we currently know about. So I don't really see a reason for Heroes material to be saved for a sequel when the traits from Froze, Rezok and the currently unnamed Berserker would be perfect fodder for the Character Creation for their race, and the fact that we already have a picture of a Froze-a-like in Timetropolis seems to support that idea. I'm hopeful we get get customization options for all the Heroes Avatars. I'd use it pretty frequently if that's the case.

I'm not against DBO race material be used in reference to this game, in fact more than request it as I want the Saiyan armour from the female Berserker, Note's hair, Beats clothing etc, its the fact that I only figured it would be used for a sequel because its material not apart of DBO as we assume this game is rebooting, if they throw in everything else in this game now- what would be new about the next? Unless its just story, roster and gameplay. Id be fine with if CaC was made solid now and just ported into the next game where gameplay and story are in a greater focus but it doesnt sound like what is normally done.

Spike isnt making the game, the more creative DIMPS is.

[enjyu123]

Oops my bad, maybe it is do to all those bad games, what I was meaning to say was DIMPS take my money right now, Thanks for correcting me.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

We don't know who the silhouette is right now. It could be introducing the Kaiojikan as the guy Trunks works for (maybe even playable), or it could be a new bad guy. Nothing implies that the silhouette is both though.

If Towa and Miira are in the game, everything can still work out fine. It's not like they are twp separate villains working toward the same goal, they are a part of the same organization. Towa doesn't like to get her hands dirty. She serves as the puppet master that pulls strings from the safety and her husband, Miira, is the muscle of the operation. He's the one you tend to face head on when it's time to confront evil.

If silhouette turns out to be another, bigger villain, then maybe Towa and Miira worked for him and we just didn't get there in DBO. They can be henchmen for someone, but the DBO plot doesn't support it being the Kaiojikan. Everything we know actually implies the opposite. I mean, if he were evil and had Towa and Miira working for him, then there would have been no reason to hire Trunks to stop them. Very few people know of his existence and he has time on his side. Don't contact Trunks, travel back in the past, have your henchmen cause chaos and let your evil plan unfold in an era where no one is going to stop you.

Please edit this, it's bugging me. Spike could never even attempt something like this...

Oh I swear, I edited my post to write Dimps (probably didn't go through) , anyways now I fixed it for you. Don't worry have a cookie, DIMPS' new game will remove all your nightmares of Spike.

Spike isn't even bad their tenkaichi and raging blast games were better "dbz" games than anything dimps have created but that might be the exception for xenoverse

[Doctor.]

Am I the only one who thinks this is a Battle of Z with Budokai 3 graphics and Dragon Ball Online influenced story mode and character creator? Because it does look a lot similar to Battle of Z in terms of gameplay. And we all know how bad BoZ was.

[InfernalVegito]

Yes it looks a lot like BoZ so far but we haven't really seen much except for the running and flying around in 3D.

You and the DBZ Youtube community think this. No way Spike was better than Dimps.

This feels more like an upgraded Tenkaichi in terms of gameplay. Sure the camera angles are like BoZ, but the gameplay looks much more fluid here, and I believe this is only it its alpha state? Correct me if I'm wrong here on that one though.

This already looks better than anything Spike has ever done in my opinion. Dimps' first shot at a 3D DBZ is bringing us potentially one of the best DBZ games yet. Spike's first shot at a 3D DBZ game was a clunky mess (the first Tenkaichi). I agree that Dimps has always been better than Spike.

[Doctor.]

The beams. They are very similar to BoZ's weak looking beams that have almost no impact when they hit the opponent. Of course, what we saw were very early stages of the games, but the beams right now lack that "BOOM, IN YOUR FACE" feeling that the DIMPS' games usually nail perfectly.

I give dimps it's probs, I'd say that dimps creates better fighting games, but spike creates better dbz games

[InfernalVegito]

Yes. I hope they return with the bombastic and overwhelming finisher scenes from the Budokai games.

Sorry but this is a load of rubbish. I agree that most of Dimps' fighting games don't really feel like DB, with imo Burst Limit being the exception. But to say Spike "does them better" isn't really a great assessment, they're two completely styles. I'd rather say "Spike tries to create games which feel more like DBZ, but nobody else is competing with them so there is no one to compare to and as a result Spike makes the best DBZ-ish games". My point is, you give Spike this credit because you have no one to compare to. However with Xenoverse we finally will, and you will see how mediocre Spike truly are.

[IGhostUlt]

Yeah your right spikes 3d formula is perfect for a dbz game, now that dimps is using that formula they will improve it. If xenoverse has the same amount of content as the raging blast and tenkaichi games then this will best the best dbz game to date.

Not seeing anything impressive at all for Xenoverse so far, in terms of gameplay at least, for you to make those types of statements.
