"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE" Official Discussion Thread

[Hellspawn28]

The game is on the PS3 and 360 as well. I see no point on getting a next gen system for a multi plat game.

Mortal Kombat 10 will be my reason for purchasing a PS4. The Dragon Ball game will just be a tag along... If it's any good.

[EXBadguy]

I think we will see something at E3 this time, because, one, back when Ultimate Tenkaichi was announced, Namco said they skipped the even to work more of the game. And two, both Budokai HD and Battle of Z were announced a week or two after E3. Unless...Namco wants to skip the this E3 again to just to work more on it.

Namco Bandai most likely plan to show off Tekken 7 since it's the 20th anniversary of the franchise.

If Namco makes a deal with Sony then PlayStation 4 might get some exclusive content for the game, as well as better graphics and who knows what.

Between PS4 and XO, I'm thinking of buying PS4 when it has games of my interest but currently, it's a no go.

The trailer of Mortal Kombat X looked pretty sweet, except for that guy rapping but the instrumental playing was quite good and catchy. I tend to like R&B/HH but not for Mortal Kombat.

The rapper's name is Wiz Khalifa. Not really a fan of his but he isn't terrible either and the song was fine (lyrics n all). Funny thing is a lot of people who are hating the song are recommending rock music, saying "it fits better" yet the classic, most well known MK soundtrack which is from the first movie had more of a techno feel to it.

I hope it's Tekken X Street Fighter instead, I mean Namco did say it was still happening.. And I still yearn to see Akuma with the Tekken style graphics.

Well, we definitely know they're not remaking Budokai again:



Majin Boo confirmed.

[Silkman3003]

holy crap, nice! what magazine is that from?


EDIT: Also, do you think those new character models hint more towards dimps, or spike? or is it still too hard to tell, in your view?

Everything looks like Spike trying to emulate Burst Limit...except the picture of Goku's face on the game's website and that image of Majin Buu. Dimps always gives Pure Buu a short antenna, while Spike gives him a long one; it looks short here after zooming in. At least on the shorter side anyway. It actually looks somewhere between the two developer's typical length for his head dongle? Could still be a new developer too. So I don't really know what to think yet.

in the scan there's a "maker" word and it says Bandai Namco Games, but i think it just refers to producer, i don't think that Bandai Namco Games is really MAKING the game...right?

[VegettoEX]

I would assume it's from Monday's upcoming 2014 #28 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump, because it's different from the single-page spread that's also in today's July 2014 issue of Saikyō Jump.

[Super Sayian Prime]

Yes, that should be from WSJ. The photo was taken by Kazu, who usually gets his hands on Shueshia's magazines a few days prior to release.

That just means they're publishing it. The articles on J-Stars Victory Vs, and presumably older Dragon Ball games, only credited Bandai Namco when development was done elsewhere.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Isn't it too soon for them to reveal the whole DBZ series?

[Zenkashuu]

If Dimps is the developer, at least we'll have a decent game and I am ok with this.

Isn't it too soon for them to reveal the whole DBZ series?

And the reason is...?

[EXBadguy]

I think the reason why they're revealing the series so early is because they're probably doing something new and original. I can tell they might do that because of the "new" character and these new stages.

[macho_man]

At the first impression, this graphics looks like the one from Spike's "Sparking series" opening cinematics clips.

[Xeogran]

I feel like that Goku vs Kid Buu screenshot is from the opening.

[sintzu]

In terms of looks it's amazing and the best i'v seen from an anime game,I just hope the content and gameplay quality is the same

Isn't it too soon for them to reveal the whole DBZ series?

Not if they have the movies,Gt and hopfuly what ifs like ssj3 vegeta

[cesarcoronel07]

At least we know Saiyan arc to Buu arc is included. Since they revealed this so early, I hope Dragon Ball, movies, and Gt characters are included as well. I definitely would love to play as SSJ 4 Goku Vs. SSJ God Goku or vice versa!

BT's intros had some ungly models, that art direction...

To me looks like in-game (Buu charging), maybe I am all wrong.

Why so many ask for what-ifs? And why only in DBZ games?
