"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[miguelnuva1]

I assume he meant the only fighting game to release once every year and still be on going.

[American Pelican]

I would venture a guess he meant the only fighting game based on something (stuff like Street Fighter and Tekken both have lasted a lot longer, but they were always video games first), but even if that were the case, would that really be accurate or not? Hmm.

Capcom's Marvel fighting games have been going on way longer, since 1994.

Super Butōden came out in 1993.

The Dragon Ball Z - Games Facebook page updated with the new stuff from V-Jump.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, all of the major DRAGON BALL’s species will be available as a basis for the players’ avatars, among them we can already count: Earthling, Majin, Namekian and SAIYAN! After Trunks summons the player’s Avatar, he will have to go through a series of tests! Is Trunks checking if the hero is worthy enough fulfil his quest? Whether the Hero succeeds or not in this deadly test, he will be able to gather with other online players in the futuristic hub: Toki Toki City!

And in case you forgot, we will be holding a Closed Beta Test in the future! More details on this Closed Beta test and the game will be revealed within the next weeks!

I may be reading a bit too much into this, but they could have just used "human" instead of "Earthling". Maybe there's hope for the Monster-type Earthlings after all?

You can customize things like: Height, Body Size, Head, Eye Shape, Pupil Shape, Nose, Mouth, and Ear!

You can add equipment, change the color, and customize the Upper Costume, Bottom Costume, Hand, Foot, Accessories etc!

Well, in Dragon Ball terminology, "human" is used to describe characters like Piccolo, Freeza, Ginyu, etc. Probably better to use Earthling.

This does confirm we're getting more races though, as it notes that all the major races will be covers and we already have the 4 mentioned as examples of that. I'm guessing Freeza's is a given now, and that makes me happy. Especially if we get art of some promotional characters like we have here, and even more so if they aren't just redrawn versions of the Freeza Clan members from Heroes.

Be prepared for online to be filled with bulky Broly type characters.

[DonieZ]

So does this mean online is a major part of the story's experience? MMO?

[dbboxkaifan]

I hate demos for people hacking into the game and leaking the game. I remember one hacker hack into the game and unlock everything. He pretty much was able to play the full game without buying it just by hacking.

You mean Battle of Z? He couldn't play the full game, he could only view what could be unlocked. For example, Beerus was in the menu, but he couldn't play as him.

Yeah, that's what comes to mind because other demos even if you can hack it's just for the purpose of the demo use itself not the full game (unless it's an Arcade game).

If you want an example you can remove the timer limit from Just Cause 2 demo (on the 360) and play it forever but you still need to stay within the map that the demo provided.

And in case you forgot, we will be holding a Closed Beta Test in the future! More details on this Closed Beta test and the game will be revealed within the next weeks!

I'm definitely going to sign up for this!

So there's a lottery for a closed beta for JPN PS3 users. I doubt I'll get it, but this is interesting. Having something like this still makes me question why there's no PC release as of yet.

Which is the same exact thing this very website posted. I think the word "saiyanisland" should be filtered from here like it is on several other sites.

[Big Momma]

I just downloaded the Network Ticket for the beta. Since the first round is only for Japanese users, I'm not sure if (even though I used a Japanese account) I'll get it. But still holding out for the second round!

2002 from 2012 had DBZ games every year on the consoles and is most likely the only license fighting video game franchise that has lasted this long.

Uh...say what now?

DBZ games are a license video game franchise. Yes Capcom did Marvel games for a long time, but they stop. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was their first Marvel fighting game in 11 years. With Capcom plan to be bought out soon then it's unlikely they will do another Marvel fighting game. DBZ games have lasted for 12 years and 13 years by Xenoverse came out. I doubt any of us thought that DBZ games would still be made in 10 years by now in the mid 2000's when Budokai 3 and the first Sparking game came out.

@Big Momma.

How did you do it? I tried to search but I had a hard time finding the characters(japanese). I'd appreciate the help man!

This article on the main site tells you exactly what to search for.

I was able to find it by just typing in "ネットワークテスト"

[kbrooksgohan]

I know that however it's a little hard matching the characters. I'm having a hard time finding the very first one.

[Cetra]

Honestly, I think this could be the first really outstanding, fresh and cool DB game in a long time.

What a brilliant idea by Dimps. Shows they're taking this game seriously.

[kbrooksgohan]

@Big Momma.

What does the demo icon look like????

Do the characters have to be put in with spaces between them???? Is it usual for TONS of demo/games to pop when I put in what you showed me? I'd appreciate any help man.

It will have a picture with DB Xenoverse on it, you can't miss it. It was the only result, for me.

ネットワークテスト says "Network Test"

Nettowa-ku tesuto




This little ッ in between ネ(Ne) and ト(To) can be made by selecting the regular ッ symbol, then pressing the bluish button next to the enter key. There should be 3 bluish buttons where the rest of the symbols are. One with little circle, one that has a " , and the third one. Press the third one to make the ッ smaller. Then finishing up the rest should work fine.

[SingleFringe&Sparks]

A DBZ being beta tested before release? Thats a first in a long while. The concept seemed forign to Spike's development.


I'm glad to see the CAC is layered now so that we can select clothing pieces individually instead of as whole outfits.

Though I hope the game wont be solely online based.

[kbrooksgohan]

@Big Momma.

I am having the hardest time. It won't show up. I wish someone would make a video tutorial. That would help out a ton. Thanks for the help man.
