Hercule being in a console game for once? Check.
More than 1v1? Check.
Original story? Check.
SS2 Goku? Check.

All that's left is to play the beta to see if I'm Day 1-ing this or not.

But there was a lot covered in that trailer, looking great.

According to a Tweet from Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball Xenoverse will be released on PC/Steam:

https://twitter.com/BandaiNamcoUS/statu ... 8695639040

TGS Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87AyqyKJuK8

I guess it's fitting that the offline version of Dragon Ball Online is receiving a PC release.

Well it certainly looks different, I'll probably get this one. I really hope Beerus, Whis and SSJ God Goku are in the game though, I'd be disappointed if they weren't.

Does anyone have an idea how the alternate timelines actually play into the gameplay? Are you able to make choices that affect how the game plays out or is it all just a set storyline that's about these alternate timelines?

Nickolaidas wrote:I'm torn on the eyes thing.

The angry eyes make everyone look like seasoned warriors and all-around badasses. If anyone will look innocent in this game, it's going to be Chiaotzu, no one else.

On the other hand, a casual gamer picking up this game will have a hard time knowing exactly who the good guys are in this game. Krillin for example, one of the most joyful and kind-hearted characters in the series, in Xenoverse he has nothing short of a death glare. His look is pure evil and chills the opponents to the bone (did you SEE him against Nappa?)

I love angry looks ... but this game went overboard. I don't mind it, really, but I understand how it might bother other people.
I think that is fine for battle, Krillin wasn't joyful and kind-hearted during battle, he was serious.

Not referring to you Nickolaidas, but it already seems that people are nitpicking the game in it's early stages. Considering the release is most likely 4- 6 months away, I think the game looks pretty good so far. The fighting mechanics already look better than the last few DBZ releases, it has a nice speed, and you can create a character in an open world environment that you can customize and interaction with other players. This will allow a ton of replay value, yet people are already complaining about certain character designs and people's hair. Not trying to come down on anyone, but I think they they are trying to bring us quite the game here.

Bandai Namco EU posted up a TGS trailer that isn't set to private: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgouvz7vmPI

It's just the 60sec. version with an ugly English font and Steam attached to the end.

Ishizuka Unshou narrated the longer promotional video. I wonder if Yanami Jouji was unavailable?

A high-profile modern Dragon Ball Z video game created for top-of-the-line consoles is being released for the PC. I never thought I'd see the day. This news has just made my week.

The more I see, the more hyped I get, gaaahhh!

I just had a random thought too. What do you think the chances are that the real characters (as in not our custom OC's) won't really have "outfits) per say (other than a default, of course), but will instead be fully customizable via the same outfit settings shown for the OC's in the extended trailer? Didn't Ultimate Boutoden for the DS have something like that?

Regardless, I'm also wondering just how many OC's we can make and save at one time. I'm kind of hoping there's at least six slots, so I can make one of each - Saiyan, Human, Namekian, Majin, Freez'as Race, and I'm totally calling that there's going to be an Android race revealed too.

If I can't get my dream MMO, this looks like the next best thing. I'm trying not to get to hyped for the game, but it looks great. Can you imagine the replay value with everything they're including? Battling other players for supremacy! 3 on 3 battles! Leveling up and upgrade system! I'm wondering if this game sales well would it help open the door for a future MMO, but the interactive setting of the online hub look pretty extensive. I can't wait to see what other races are included and how co-op may possibly work in the story mode. From what this looks like, this is waaaaay exceeding my initial expectations. I just thought this was yet another fighting game, but it seems to be so much more.

I must admit, when everyone was so hyped on Dimps, I was wondering what the big deal was. I liked the Budokai games, but didn't love them like others. I actually enjoyed the Spike games due to the 3d style. But now I see how they are living up to the quality everyone was so excited about. The local co-op looks to be 2.5D while the single player experience camera is much more open; best of both worlds.

Can't say enough about the game so far; this very well could be the best DBZ game we've seen.
