It looks like Budokai-style teleporting is back. This game keeps getting better.

There's three things that are different with that shot. First, like you said, Gohan isn't a SSJ2. Second, his right arm isn't hurt so he's able to do the kamehameha with both hands, which means Cell never tried to kill Vegeta after avenging Trunks OR Gohan chose not to save Vegeta. The third thing is that Goku isn't behind Gohan as he shoots the kamehameha, this could mean that Goku is still alive and that Cell never attempted to self destruct. This really has me curious as to what is going to happen and what happened to all those things that were supposed to be there.

Is this a new sound track or reused from Burst limit ?

I think I'm going to be disappointed again.

When they transform into a super saiyan there isn't really much of an explosion and it's kinda a suttle effect which I don't like.

Lacking environment destruction still.

And I bet the ultimate's will be lacking with no planet destruction like in the budokai games.

Wow, that trailer really was "blink-and-you'll miss" stuff. Looks like Bardock and Broli are in...they seem to be staples of the main DBZ fighting games at this stage. Always nice to throw them in as a way of mixing up the roster with characters from the regular series.

Very excited for this game, everything looks rather interesting so far. A little iffy on one or two things, but I'm happy to just wait and see with them. Might have to consider actually picking this one up. I haven't bought a DB game since Raging Blast 2!

EDIT: By the way, anyone have any clue on what the red eyes are about?

I think they become possessed by someone.

Unless I'm mistaken, he's in the trailer at 0:40. Like I said, it's split second stuff, but I'm pretty sure that's him.

I think you're mistaking Broli for Mr. Satan, but that's if you're talking about the bit where Goku is crawling and behind him there's someone's legs.

That's Mr.Satan.

Broly has gold boots unlike these which are black like Satan's

If it's the same as DBO, then Towa's control.

Huh, so it is. I just saw the red thing and thought...

Actually at a second glance, it does look closer to a brown. My bad. Should probably go to sleep now... :oops:

Mr.Satan doesn't have red on his clothes so it could still be Broly.

It is Mr. Satan. He's in the trailer before then.

The game looks great. You surprised me Dimps. Do I see a sacrifice from Trunks in there? The story might be actually be good.

Local multiplayer 1vs1, has this one BL/Ninja Storm feel in it.

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

Thank God they got rid of split screen. The camera didn't screw up at all but that's probably because they're playing on the tournament stage. I'm curious as to how the camera will work on more crowded stages. Also, did IGN seriously misspell Piccolo?

Gotta love IGN and their vast knowledge of Dragon Ball. Either they do it on purpose to turn heads, or they really haven't a clue.

Anyway, the camera seems to work fine for local multiplayer. I wonder what that clash/burst mode was about? They seem to do it and then break up without any real struggle. I wonder if they'll do anything more with that.

That Vegeta vs Goku gameplay was probably the best gameplay we've gotten so far (I think). Those transformations are great. Short sweet and look a little personalized. Vegeta's looked like that scene in the Buu Arc where he got up after Kid Buu blasted his face and told him who he was dealing with.


EDIT: I'm stupid...
