"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[EXBadguy]

I rather have a NEW 2-D game instead of Budokai. As much as I love that series, it's getting old and played out. I think what Dimps should do is to make a new 2-D fighting game series with the DBZ and some DB characters, and then if Xenoverse does well, I wish for them to take advantage of the new world and not focus on the original characters.

Back on topic, this game is shaping things nicely as usual.

How is it old and played out if we havent gotten a game in almost 7 years ? If anything you should be tired of Tenkaichi.

I'm tired of both of them, tbh. And I don't think this game deserves to be put in the Tenkaichi category cuz it doesn't play like it.

[budokaifanatic007]

Well then if Budokai is played out how would you feel about a new 2.5D franchise that's in vain Of Budokai like how Burst Limit was to Budokai? I would love for that to happen; think about it , it could be a new fresh experience with new mechanics and unique things only to that series.

I hope we never see a Budokai reincarnation ever again. @EXBadguy; You beat me to it, just expressed nicer. I'm really getting tired of people continuously going on about games made a decade ago. I would bet DIMPS has no interest in bringing it back either. You got your HD remake, Namco don't want to hear anymore.

If anything I wouldn't mind them working on a completely new 2D title, they've worked on fighting games so they would know what they're doing. I'm sure it would sell big too, loads of people watched DBZ at some point in their lives, so it would definitely be a big hit in the FGC.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to a fun and solid 3D/open-arena game. I hope it's a fast paced, exciting one.

I dont see what other format would work, BL was the closest to a good DBZ fighter we've officially got. What would they do by giving up on that? Make a SF clone with DBZ skins over it? No thanks.

If you don't want a Dragon Ball game with Budokai, Street Fighter, Tekken, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom or Mortal Kombat's engine then there's not really much choice.

A DBZ title a la Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom style would be insanely fun (especially online) but since this comes down to Bandai Namco's decision they'll stick to over-the-shoulder camera fighting games.

[budokaifanatic007]

When I spoke to Namco last month at the NYC Press Event I asked them if Xenoverse was a Namco decision or a Dimps decision and they told me Dimps was the one who presented them this idea.

They just fund their projects from what I understand. I also mentioned that Budokai needs to come back and they were on the same boat. I guess it just depends on if Dimps hears voices (which is hard because it usually gets drowned out by Tenkaichi fans)

Lastly, they were very impressed with that Dragon Ball Mugen game reaching over a million views so there's some hope.

If Dimps ever comes to comic con I could probably ask these questions (since I'm under press) but to my knowledge they never been to NY Comic Con before. I only met the CC2 President and Hideo Baba (Tales Guy) goes every year.

You think Namco is taking all this demand for a 2D game into consideration?

I'm hoping Xenoverse cut scenes will be as in depth as Budokai 1.

I liked Burst Limit's mid battle cut scenes the most. Would be nice to have those back.

[BlackMagick]

I'm hoping Xenoverse cut scenes will be as in depth as Budokai 1.

I mean, I liked how visually pleasing they were but I feel that drama pieces were distracting and pulled me out of the action. I guess I'd be okay with drama pieces returning in the Story mode, but that absolutely CANNOT happen for regular VS play. I found the drama pieces were too disruptive and took away from the combat instead of adding to it.

Not necessarily, they could do anything. Just not Budokai. The transition at the very least from Burst Limit to said new 2D DB game would have to be as great as from Budokai to Burst Limit. That means no Budokai 4; I'm sure sequels to games made on the PS2, basically Budokai and Tenkaichi, would really dampen the interest of many people. I wanna see something new, even if it is a traditional fighter it doesn't necessarily have to be, what you would feel is, bad. Super DBZ looked good.

Super DBZ is great, go buy/play it right now, SingleFringe&Sparks just doesn't like Quarter-circles for some reason (not judging, I don't like the cancel-oriented Budokai (not including BL and SB2, I actually feel IW was a step-back in that regard) all that much either). The only thing that might turn you off is the lack of content, but if you have a friend who can play with you, you'll spend an incredible amount of time in versus believe me.

As for the cutscenes, YES PLEASE! they probably aren't going to be that many (because created characters and all that) but if they are, please be Budokai 1/special Burst Limit level, Spike's way of having the characters standing in their combat pose talking during the whole cutscene is so bad.

Never mind about that Street Fighter game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz2cnse ... _jbote4BKA

The part that convinced me was that they didn't work on Ultra Street Fighter game so they could have been doing something else.

*Sigh* Seems like Dimps isn't interested in ever making another 2D DBZ game...

[EXBadguy]

If Dimps wants to make a 2-D after this, I say they make a spiritual successor of Shin Budokai with some realistic DBZ fighting elements. It can look like Budokai, but I don't want it to play like Budokai. No generic animations, nothing.

It seems their busy with Street Fighter 5 at the moment..And yea i totally agree with you, i would love to see a new 2D series on PS4 with combined elements of SBAR and BL.

What? Capcom is making Street Fighter 5, not Dimps.
