You can ask Your questions here. Some will be forwarded to the producer during Japan Expo. I asked mine

[DonieZ]

I think it's too soon to be jumping the gun, that picture could very well just be a cutscene (if so albeit a bad one), seeing as the cutscene between Goku and vegeta fighting in the trailer didn't look very good, imo, either. I don't feel as though any of the pictures in the scan were actual gameplay footage.

I hope not anyway, I think 2v2 would just mess up the flow of combat. Give me a good one 1v1 3D fighter then do whatever you want.

Mystery guy is trunks son??

He's a Time Patrolman. Note that all the Time Patrol are Created Characters from the future (Age 1000) who were recruited by Trunks.

[Jaruka]

Mystery guy can use the Makankosappo. Makes it a bit more likely that he's a CaC, because it'd be super weird for a new character to have one of Piccolo's moves. But then they always give it to future Gohan, so maybe this is just an alternate timeline Super Saiyan God Gohan. It'd fit everything so far, with the connection to Trunks....

Why? The Makankosappo wouldn't be unlocked from the start most likely anyway, you will probably go back in time, fight with and learn from the characters and that's how the 'mystery fighter' will learn to use moves and such.

Now, whether he is create-a-character or not would have no bearing on how this would work.

Trunks' son?

xD

Well, that would be something. But he's too tall and seems almost the same age (if not older).

Heh, I would actually like the concept of a Future Trunks' son... but much younger, 12-14 years old.

[Rukura]

since this is not DiMPS first game, do you guys think they will fix some of the mistakes they did with Brave Soldiers?

With the now valid possibility of 2v2, all bets are off. Though it is very disappoint that we finally get Dimps back and they might not even be doing a 1v1 fighter, like they should, which is what they've been awesome at making.

1v1 is probably the main focus.

Even so, it's still development time that would otherwise be spent on polishing it.

Also zenkai (by spike) can be played 2v2, but should be enjoyable as 1v1 as well

I don't know where people are getting that idea from. Zenkai Battle Royale, as the name implies, is a 4-player Free-For-All game. It has the ability for any two players to perform team moves, but it cannot be played as 2v2 or even 1v1.

If Nappa is this gigantic DAMN, I can't imagine how Broly will look By the way, when exactly is Japan Expo? I don't recall which day it begins, I only remember Treevax always interviews...

Google is your friend; Japan Expo 2014 (July 2-6).

From what I've seen on Nico and from youtube user "TheCorota", it's mostly played with on the 2V2 mode tho and there was an update strictly for 1v1.

Huh. Totally missed those updates, and when I played it it was still just Free-for-all (at least I don't remember seeing a 2v2 option at all, back then). Kinda loses the logic the name and game originally implied, but at least that was built upon the original later on.

I AM right (as always):

looks pretty fun as 1v1 as well to me

In Regards to Zenkai:

That random Mr.Satan statue is funny lol...

And Broly is a F'n monster (#NotUpForDebate) lol.

As for XenoVerse I wonder what kind of reason (if any) will they have for the character being a Saiyan. Because we all know he's going to go "Super" somewhere down the line.

the custom character you mean? What's the problem?

The explanation for the random character being a Saiyan could simply be that the Son family and Brief family (Goku and Vegeta's descendants) have mated with the humans and those hybrids mated with other humans and the Saiyan blood line remains infused regardless of dilution (arguably stronger) as we see hybrids turning super saiyan early in time of age such as gohan, kid goten, kid trunks, ssj 3 gotenks. The capabilities of mixed blood are amazing. This is one possible explanation anyway. Especially with time patrollers from the future and separate timelines, merely one possibility.

[DonieZ]

What kind of info do you think we'll get at Japan Expo? I'm looking forward to some more gameplay footage, hoping we get to see more of the fighting system.

It's funny, it's been years since I've been this interested in news regarding a DB game. Perhaps this marks the start of a great new DB gaming era. Hopefully for me they continue to make following games cross-gen seeing as I won't be getting a ps4 for a while.

[Zenkashuu]

Usually there are playable demos and people record gameplay, I don't think that this year's Japan Expo will be exception.

[Rukura]

So, Bandai Namco just announced that Xenoverse is now available for pre-order.

2015 release, as expected. Last gen versions are cheaper than the current gen versions, which is nice. Genre: Beat 'em up. Slightly confused about that one.

[Drev]

It could be the same demo from gameplay video, but at least we will see more videos (and longer) about it

Well being that they're taking elements from DBO, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Heh,not sure why that slipped my mind.

That should probably leave room for other races to be selected for the customizable character (I.E Majin and Namekian) just incase people want to switch it up. But being that this is being developed for PS360 as well, I'm sure "Hardware Limitations" are gonna take precedent somewhere.

The bigger question about these "hardware limitations" is what they CAN achieve with these systems and what features they may leave out to justify the newer console versions. If the latter occurs then it will be unfortunate to say the least. At this point in time i would hope they don't hand out punished versions for the older consoles lacking anything to severe of a deficiency towards my enjoying the game.
