goku the krump dancer wrote:What if releasing Budokai HD was just a test to see if people were still interested in a game from Dimps despite not receiving one in the last couple of years? Perhaps Battle of Z was just a place holder game to try a ride the hype of Battle of Gods while Namco got the paper work n such ready for Dimps to start developing Xenoverse.
If someone mentions if its possible to see a Burst Limit 2 to Dimps in an interview within the line up and suggest rotation between 2D and 3D if Xenoverse does well enough then maybe we would see it. There is no reason why not, Treevax most likely won't bring it up. Namco has the impression that we all just want Tenkaichi; which isnt true at all. Anyone that interviews Dimps needs to tell them about the petition and the outcry from the ignored Budokai fans.

I'm hyped for the content definetly but the gameplay should now be the focus of the critique and attention. So far it doesn't look like anything special which will hurt the game, but if the camera remains as bad as RB1's was - as it seems at this stage, the game will have no chance to survive all the work being put into it if its unplayable. So far I saw it getting stuck behind the large rocks in the middle of the stage.

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.

I normally don't discuss which I like better 2D or 3D games because its a waste of my time. But, it amazes me at how passionate most fans are at having a 2D DBZ game back and I can understand that. Dragon Ball is an icon, its something we all enjoy. We all remember coming home turning on the tv and wondering what goku and his friends would be doing that week. Even after 30 years they still make DBZ games which is not easy since its the same story over and over. Would I like a 2D DBZ game, yes. Do I care enough, maybe. But in the end to me it doesn't matter its just another Dragon Ball game for me to enjoy. Not counting the handhelds I have purchased every console game ranging from ps2-ps3 and to this day I still enjoy them. So in the end I wanted to just give my opinion I don't takes sides. Dragon Ball is Dragon Ball to me regardless of the version, or dub. It influenced me as a child and it still does today. So come on Xenoverse, I'm waiting for ya!

But in SB 1 and 2 you didn't move around freely whereas in Xenoverse you can though if Dimps worked around it it could work still.

They would need to make a completly different game now for that to be possible.
Anyway, If we do get a trailer I hope it's as lenghty and full of content like Raging Blast 1 was. That trailer hyped so much the game that it was all more disappointing when it was so meh.

No new news today also...dies.
I'm going to freeze myself, someone come melt me in 6 months.
"There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause troubles without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others: They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them… because in truth, I am that monster."

Can someone spare me searching through 128 pages and tell me which races are confirmed for character creation?

"All major Dragon Ball races" according to Bandai Namco. Saiyans, Earthlings, Namekians and Majins have been confirmed, and Freeza's race was hinted because a model of Froze from Heroes was seen in the background of a screen shot.

Aren't Freeza and his father just mutants with an abnormal battle power?

To Toriyama? Probably. To the Dragon Ball franchise as a whole? No, there is money to be made.

If they are indeed a playable race, I'm very much interested in what the game will list them as.

They will be most likely called "Freeza Clan", like in
Dragon Ball Heroes.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

When I spoke to Namco last month at the NYC Press Event I asked them if Xenoverse was a Namco decision or a Dimps decision and they told me Dimps was the one who presented them this idea.
They just fund their projects from what I understand. I also mentioned that Budokai needs to come back and they were on the same boat. I guess it just depends on if Dimps hears voices (which is hard because it usually gets drowned out by Tenkaichi fans)
Lastly, they were very impressed with that Dragon Ball Mugen game reaching over a million views so there's some hope.
If Dimps ever comes to comic con I could probably ask these questions (since I'm under press) but to my knowledge they never been to NY Comic Con before. I only met the CC2 President and Hideo Baba (Tales Guy) goes every year.

That makes me respect Dimps even make more. To heck with Tenkaichi fans. They know nothing about basic gaming. BT/RB did nothing to help bring more fans to the DB videogame franchise. We need a fresh story with good gameplay and this is what Xenoverse could possibly bring.

With the overall concept that Xenoverse offers I can't really see it working all that well 2D.5 style of play like what Dimps' games are known for having. At lest with the actually fighting anyway.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Xenoverse was featured at Sony's Playstation press conference. By "featured" I mean that a Bandai Namco division manager and V-Jump's chief editor (in a golden armor) gave it a full 60 second mention.
"New game, new story, new world, and it'll have Goku of course! blah blah blah You'll be able to make your own character blah blah blah Playable at Tokyo Game Show blah blah blah The game's title sure sounds cool, huh. Next up, One Piece Pirate Warriors 3."
Bandai Namco's Daisuke Uchiyama introduced it as "Dragon Ball Xenoversus", which was funny.
