I want to play as Cymbol. Tenkaichi 3 got Tambourine, but there's never any love for his younger brother. I don't think he was even playable in Advanced Adventure, and that was the game where you could play as Generic Red Ribbon Robot #23048.

That would certainly be interesting to see Giran in XENOVERSE, Merry Go Round Gum!

I hope this game has special battle intros like the other games did. RB2 had some cool likes, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGNTcHvH6Tk

This is a very long thread so sorry if it's already been discussed, but I really hope Xenoverse continues the story of Dragon Ball Online!

We obviously can't say for certain until we have more information, but it's been implied from people a little bit more in the know than us general fans that the game isn't really related to Dragon Ball Online and that it's apparently just borrowing some concepts.

Honestly, the dialogue is interesting, but the animations don't vary. The same animation plays for many different lines... at least in Budokai 3, special intros change in both in animation and dialogue.

I always like it when characters have cool talks with each other before the battle starts.

I want it. Budokai felt annoying when all the characters sounded so brainless with their generic qoutes. I like the significant fanservice Spike gave us, but I don't know how many times I hated hearing "My name is Goku & I'm from Earth." In Spike's games. They should really make special dialogue character specific like most of Vegeta's encounters. Though, why Vegeta and #18 never get any special dialogue still bugs me.

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.

Do any of you fellow kanzenshuu comrades know when we might see news regarding Dragon Ball Xenoverse? I haven't been on for a while but after seeing these new scans, this game is just getting better and better! :thumbup: And with the new DBZ movie coming out my hype is over 9000 or should I say 8000! :D

Gamescom is near, we may see it there, who knows. Safe bet, next month's V-jump magazine...

There is a small update.

Amazon UK now has listed the Xbox 360 and Xbox One editions too for pre-order.

360 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Namco-Bandai-10 ... -Xenoverse (£49.99)
XO - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Namco-Bandai-10 ... -Xenoverse (£64.99)

GAME also has it.

Image

Last-Gen:
360 - http://www.game.co.uk/en/dragon-ball-xenoverse-302155 (£42.99)
PS3 - http://www.game.co.uk/en/dragon-ball-xenoverse-302157 (£42.99)

Current-Gen:
PS4 - http://www.game.co.uk/en/dragon-ball-xenoverse-302153 (£49.99)
XO - http://www.game.co.uk/en/dragon-ball-xenoverse-302151 (£49.99)

ShopTo's listings:

Last-Gen:
360 - http://www.shopto.net/video-games/xbox3 ... -xenoverse (£42.85)
PS3 - http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps3/P ... -xenoverse (£42.85)

Current-Gen:
PS4 - http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps4/P ... -xenoverse (£49.85)
XO - http://www.shopto.net/video-games/xbox- ... -xenoverse (£49.85)

Hopefully the XO edition will be nearly as good as the PS4 or identical (and whatever about 360/PS3) so that all Dragon Ball fans can enjoy the game for what it is.

According to my sources (google), the Namco Bandai lineup consists of following games:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution
Rise Of Incarnates

So betting on the new V-Jump, which comes out in 3 weeks (I think), seems like a safe thing.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

I'm really happy, that I've skipped the BoZ after that DLC stuff. Wow, I still own Raging Blast 2 on Xbox 360 only of all those past-gen games hahaha.
So, will this game be worthy of buying on PS4? I was impressed by the combat animation so far, the fight looked for the first time like it did in the series.
Let's see about the story mode and roster.

PS: I really want transformation animations from RB series back!!

There's at least another handful of games that Bandai Namco's pimping at the moment, excluding Xenoverse, so that's definitely not a complete lineup.

They will show Xenoverse, but I'm guessing it'll be the same demo, this time showing Freeza and Boo. And MAYBE a new trailer.

The transformation from the RB series looked quite good but at times it looked as though they were having a hard time taking a *beep*.

Well, I was corrected earlier on as she and Hatchan are supposedly more like brother & sister than anything else.

The RB series' transformations only looked cool for certain characters... not the Saiyans, all of their transformations were dry as hell. Freeza's, Cooler's, Android 13's and Broly's going Legendary (only Saiyan exception) had the best transformations.

My feelings exactly, the Saiyans transformations had this thing were they had the mouth open for a lot of time with no voice and it really irked me.
