"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

Someone is streaming Xenoverse network test build atm. He entered Tokitoki offline version and never turned his PS3 off.

Risking the chance of overheating the console over a beta? No thanks.

Given that there are methods of faking apps to recognise them as if they were official IPs (which allow to work properly) there's probably something like it for the Xenoverse Beta but no one seems to know, or haven't shared the how-to.

That's not going to happen. I've seen numerous PS3's left on for almost a week at a time without overheating. It all depends on you not being an idiot and putting it where it won't adequately cool itself.

[dbboxkaifan]

I spent a good chunk of hundreds on my PS3s so even if they wouldn't overheat I wouldn't leave it on for the Xenoverse Beta considering I'd have to give up play other games, plus the Beta has issues which really need to be fixed for the retail release.

The dashing is just awful compared to the one on Spike's Tenkaichi/RB games.

Sergio seems to have found the character list:

GT characters seem to be in!

[dbboxkaifan]

The GT series is not my favourite of the franchise, but the design of the characters are so I'm so glad they're going to be included on Xenoverse so we'll see them at their absolute best visuals on PS4/PC.

In fact the character I'd like to try out first of all would be Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta but I suppose it'll be needed to be unlocked (throughout the story or such).

Thank you Dimps and Sérgio, but really, get that dashing shit fixed!

[TheDevilsCorpse]

He already had the character list early on. He just wasn't sure who all the abbreviations were.

Looking at the video, I know it is just a beta, but I'm fairly worried about the roster now. While I'm happy I apparently will be able to have SS4 Goku vs Godku, there are a fair number of relatively important characters missing, as well as forms for certain non-Saiyan characters. The roster of this game is tarting to feel like a major step backwards, and I'm not talking about "giant Spike OMGZ characters" rosters. This feels backwards, even for Dimps. :/

[Super Saiyajin Luffy]

Was Ultimate Gohan showed in the list? Not sure if he was in or not.
He might get the transformation treatment, but I'm not sure...

[TheDevilsCorpse]

At this point, we don't even know for sure if it was Ulitimate Gohan we saw in the last trailer. Could have just been Buu Arc Gohan in his base form and the Goku dogi serving that role. :/

Or worse, a created character posing as Ultimate Gohan.

[cesarcoronel07]

I counted 61 characters, that's awesome! I'm glad GT and BOG made it, but what about Chiatzu, android 20 and 19...

[dbboxkaifan]

I counted 61 characters, that's awesome! I'm glad GT and BOG made it, but what about Chaozu, android 20 and 19...

People actually use those characters? They could work out like 'trophies' rather than actual characters, especially Chaozu he's worse than a Pokémon in a fight.

This ain't the last of the characters shown, More will come in the future I'm sure of it.

I think we might have to transform into Ultimate Gohan to play as him. Plus, Ultimate Gohan was never a character itself in the Budokai games, so...

Goten's in the trailer however is not shown in this list. Several costumes form the trailer were also not included in Sergio's previous video. There's still a ton of data not in the Test.

[Shinnin]

I'm really hoping that's an incomplete list. No 2nd/3rd form Frieza is one thing, but not having Android 16 or 1st/2nd Form Cell is bothering me. 16 is the only reason Gohan went Super Saiyan 2 and they could've had your created character trying to get the Androids to safety/hold off Cell. And there's the lack of Buuhan/Buutenks on that list, which makes me wonder how they're handling absorptions.

At this point, we don't even know for sure if it was Ulitimate Gohan we saw in the last trailer. Could have just been Buu Arc Gohan in his base form and the Goku dogi serving that role. :/

I doubt they cut him. Compared to everyone shown in the beta, and even in that trailer, they shading/aura seemed to signify a powered-up state. Maybe Ultimate Gohan's the only adult Gohan in the game.

Overall, this is definitely more story-driven (as opposed to UT's Hero Mode) than character-driven like BT3. Hopefully the story's good and the roster doesn't suffer too much.

I prefer Chiatzu over Appule... (My opinion)

[cesarcoronel07]

So about oozaru's, it looks like we finally can play as them once again, but this time in a Dimps game! I'm curious to see how Dimps will handle them... (giants in general)

[TheDevilsCorpse]

The list may just be characters who will be seen on the battlefield, as in a boss fight, not necessarily playable. Sergio even mentions that he's not certain that where he found the data indicates playablity.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I'm kind of iffy on this list, I can't imagine Giru being playable but Oob not being. Nice to see Pan supposedly listed again though.

[EXBadguy]

Roster's so-so to me. I'm glad there there BOG and GT characters are back, but putting Apule and Giru instead of other major characters like Uub and 16, 19, and 20? Who the hell wants to play as them two? Yuck! But yeah, I doubt it's complete, cuz of those titles, FR4, FR5, CL3, CL4, etc.

And I'm glad Time Patrol Trunks is his own character. Maybe I'll call him EX Trunks if he plays 70% the same as the regular.

Goten's in the trailer however is not shown in this list. Several costumes form the trailer were also not included in Sergio's previous video. There's still a ton of data not in the Test.

Yeah, and let's not forget how transformations work now, so there is a possibility that his Ultimate form, or as Dimps would call his form, the Elder Kai Unlock Ability form would be a transformation.
