is everybody getting this for PS4?

I'm getting it for PC or PS3. I don't have PS4, but even if, I wouldn't buy it for ps4 (don't want to pay for online)

So you want to play with an inferior PSN? Seems legit.

[dbboxkaifan]

No 19. Dr. Gero. No Cooler. No Chaozu. No imperfect Cell. No 2-3rd form Freeza.

Chaozu is pointless and the majority doesn't really use like, No. 19, Dr. Gero, Imperfect Cell because they go straight to the perfected forms or base.

People here asking for Chaozu is almost unbelievable since it's barely a fighting character, unless you want to commit suicide which isn't part of combat anyway.

Dimps could ditch Yamucha too for much better characters.

I'll wait till there's a good deal and buy a PS4 while at it, Xenoverse too.

That 'inferior' PSN works fine whereas PS4's PSN is having issues with newly released games, like.. Driveclub. I think it's the same network but at least on PS3 you don't pay to play online.

Saibaman is there, so Jiaozi must be there as well. Jiaozi fought in first DB series and Z (vs Nappa and Saibaman) so if Saibaman is there, Jiaozi should be too.
And "suicide" is also a Saibaman special move, so why Saibaman is cool and Jiaozi is not?

What part of ''don't want to pay for online'' don't you understand...

[dbboxkaifan]

Simple. The Saibaiman(s) can actually battle properly (as shown on the anime series and manga) but Chaozu's fighting techniques are more about mind control and such.

If you'd put up Chaozu against Babidi, who'd win? They both have more or less the same abilities but Babidi would perhaps be the victor due to mastering magic completely.

Mewtwo, Lucario or Greninja would be better picks to include in Xenoverse than Chaozu.

Nick, the Namco PR I'm supposed to interview wasn't available today so I will try again tomorrow.

Guldo and jiaozi are VERY similar for example, just jiaozi can't stop time, but except that, they are very similar. Also, Jiaozi can do dodonpa and fight, remember?

does PSN on PS4 have anything more than PS3? I thought it was the same.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Some differences but not many...
It's better to play on the ps3 because you don't have to pay to play online.....
Which is a good portion of this game.

[Nickolaidas]

Thanks, thegametagerz.

Guys, I am commenting the leaked roster. If it's not final, all good. If it is, I'm complaining.

Dbboxfan, you claim that no one wants to play as Gero or 19. Do you honestly believe that there are people who want to play as Pan's robot pal? If this is legit, and not just Dimps trolling hackers like Sergio, it makes zero sense. Just like when it didn't make sense for Marvel to put MODOK in MvC3 instead of say, Venom, a much more popular character.

I like Burter, he's my fave from the Ginew Force, even though I always understood it when the guy was omitted from various DBZ fighting games - the guy never really did anything. Having him in Xenoverse instead of 19, a character who thrashed the protagonist, makes little sense as well.

Having seen Goten on the fusion dance is not 100% 'he's in' proof for me. We saw all forms of Frieza in Budokai 1, all the Ginew members, and yet most of them were never playable. That said, it's weird to have Chibi Trunks and Gotenks, and no Goten.

I have no way of knowing if having Gero's hat as an accessory is proof that he's in, or if it's just a reference, as well as Salza's jedi sword - it could just as well be a move for your Custom Char.

Imperfect Cell is cool as f*&k and a lot more interesting than Perfect Cell for me. I'd rather play the sneaky lizard rather than the pompous frieza cosplayer. Just saying.

I realize the list may not be final, but 61 playable characters is indeed, a 'robust roster', so I fear for the worse. And no Cooler? That's not cool, man. Not Cool at all.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

I don't care at all about Chaiotsu but I mean Guldo is in the game and hes basically the same thing. He might as well be in if Yamcha's in for the Z-Team.
If Dimps was creative, they could just make him a mini Tenshinshan. Or whatever he did in DB.

No.19 and 20 on the other hand have ki absorption. That alone makes them more unique than #17 and 18 who literally dont mean a thing outside Trunk's storyline.
They if modeled right No.19 & 20 can at least be useful for mind games.


Having a CaC by default lessens the demand I have for a huge roster but at MOST IW's roster + the full ginyu force & No.19 would be perfect. No more needed.
Maybe Uub and Majuub at best but. Thats all thats absolutely necessary. At least we know Nova and Eis are in, together for the first time.

Going to Comic Con tomorrow and interview Namco Bandai PR about Xenoverse.

Roster questions are pointless, they wont give us a straight answer even if they had these suggested characters in mind. I want to know about the gameplay. Is it confirmed to be possible to cancel and follow-up like in BL/ IW? I also want to know why they choose to handle transformations this way? Will Freeza and Cell have all their forms accessible?

[budokaifanatic007]

I would love for Salza to be in, was he ever in a DBZ fighting game? Also could you ask Bamco why they have not attempted to make another competitive fighter like Budokai or Burst Limit. I mean they have the developers who make Street Fighter, the most popular fighting game at the moment so i don't see whats stopping them.

Salza was in Raging Blast 2 along with the rest of Armored squadron.
I would love for him to make a come back in Xenoverse.

[Thanos]

I'll be picking this up on PC. The PS3 is a sinking ship--and I know it still has plenty of support, but I want to not have to worry about it dying off... that probably won't be a concern for a while, but I'll want to be able to pick the game up, say, 5 years from now (not much of a stretch considering I still pick up B3 & BT3/S!M ten and seven years subsequent to their release, respectively) and go online, and I don't imagine PS3 will still be active then. PS4 would be a safe bet, but that would literally be me dropping $400 for one game at this stage. Plus, I imagine having a keyboard will beneficial to this game's overall experience. Also

So fucking what if he's a weakling, some of us actually grew up following and watching him, Tenshinhan, Goku, Yamcha and Krillin, that's why we care and want him in the game. Those five were the 'originals' if i may say so (you get what I mean). He is part of the Z-warriors and deserves to be in this game, especially because there are a couple of minor villians too, that are even more pointless to have in the game.

[Super Saiyajin Luffy]

Video Posting time.
First I need someone to translate Freeza's name from this very early footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwU0nVCmtXs
Goku vs Yamcha NY Comic Con
Vegeta vs Radditz NY Comic Con
Yamcha vs Tenshinhan NY Comic Con
Female Majin Time Patrol Warrior/Range vs Female Saiyan Time Patrol Warrior/Ranger NY Comic Con
Namekian Time Patrol Warrior/Ranger vs Radditz NY Comic con

Things to note:
-Maximum Charge and Full Power Charge are confirmed to be improved versions of Energy Charge
-Time Patrol RANGERS? What are we, a Power Rangers Time Force ripoff? Well it makes sense, considering that we have access to the Ginyu Tokusentai Poses
-Female Majin Attacks animation are so damn nice. Also it seems, that her Backattack-Cancel has a long range.
-Evil Flight Strike is this Swirly Arm Thingy move?
-Yamcha's Fake Death move has an attack, if he gets up. Well, it's more like his springup animation is the attack.
-Ki charge during Super Saiyan transformation
-Black Saiyans are possible

You mean Giroo? Yeah, I agree he isn't suitable to be considered a character worth including in the roster but seeing people here asking for Chaozu to be in the game, it's not much of an improvement either.

Salza didn't have a "jedi" sword that thing looked more like what they have on Halo (when it's all brightened up and such).

He is part of the Z-warriors and deserves to be in this game, especially because there are a couple of minor villians too, that are even more pointless to have in the game.

He could be part of the game but not playable so it wouldn't take up valuable space for better characters to shine.

Yeah like who? Even MR SATAN could be here, but Jiaozi is such an issue? Ar you kidding me?

[dbboxkaifan]

Jiaozi? Who even calls it by that name? That's neither the original name nor the dub (at least not the English one).

List of actual fighters which would do a better job to fill the roster than Chaozu, Yamucha or Mr. Satan:
. Ozotto
. Super Saiyan Bardock
. Tarble (give him a decent ultimate this time not a shitty iPod)
. Hatchiyack
. Froze
. Piccolo Daimao
. Taopaipai
. Super Garlic Junior
. Tullece
. Spopovitch
. Baby Vegeta

[Tsufuru]

With each video i watch i like it more and more.

And the graphics look awesome.

This could realy be a masterpiece.
