The game looks alright. It does not look like anything new that we haven't seen before. I'm kinda let down that it's another fighting game and not something new. I also guess we will get a new plot as well. I guess the game will be about different AUs that exist.

Q for anyone here who managed to watch the trailer

Does goku's chains/combos remind you of that of tenkaichi or Raging Blast? Because the combos look completely new to me.

Chance it could be a new developer? That, or i forgot how ssj goku's fighting style is in the previous games

Kinda looks like Artdink, but it looks better. The Goku vs Freeza gameplay bit was a nice moment.

Not sure if it was worth the wait and making it such a secret. New character, along with fanfic game title, does not excite.

Alright, graphics are amazing. This gameplay looks "new", they're definitely going for a 3D Dragon Ball experience from what I can tell. The stages look pretty... meh so far though, especially that segment where Goku is busting Freeza's ass.

Seems like a fanfic in YouTube. The game looks like Tenkaichi with Burst limits punches. The Bgm sounds great. Xeno(mystery guy) debut looks exactly like Db Online trailer when the Online Hero see Goku V Vegeta

That gameplay definitely had a Tenkaichi feel to it. Looks pretty tight, I'll buy it, just like I always buy these bloody games :lol:

Well, that was cringeworthy.

You'd expect at least some improvement in visual fidelity. Alas, the plague of cross-gen nonsense ruins everything. Garbage textures and piss poor modelling.

Shitty compression aside, that's embarrassing.

Wahey. This actually looks like a good one!

I could care less about the character at the end, but from the little taster of the gameplay we got there I'm definitely excited to see more.

So who exactly is that mysterious man? And what is up with the title--Xenoverse?
Xeno means foreign, and verse could be connected to universe so...could the mysterious man be coming from a foreign universe?
If I didn't know any better it almost look like it could be SSJG Trunks from another universe. Opinions?

*sigh* So we're never going back to 2D, are we?
EDIT: WHOA!! It's developed by Dimps!

Nice to see DIMPS back with a new style. I'm optimistic for this one.

Bandai Namco says it's DIMPS. Slightly more excited to find out more about this. Still not sold on the name or the original story they're hinting at.

It's Dimps? Well then, that fills me with some hope. Still doesn't excuse the lack of AA and those textures unless that footage is from previous gen. If MGSV and Wolfenstein can pump out 1080p60fps on the PS4 without sacrificing basic aspects like that then a damn fighting game can do it.

Uhhh, no they don't... They are bulky, and there are broad lines on their textures, and the environment is cel shaded (for whatever reason) I'll give you that, but Artdink models look disgusting. Nappa looks like Nappa in this game. He'es probably the best looking character I've seen so far, then Kid Buu. Also, it says it's developed by Dimps. Should've known it was Dimps from all that motion blur...

Yes Dimps is back. Now all I want to know is if the new guy can be edited.
