"Dragon Ball XENOVERSE 2" Official Discussion Thread

[Nightmare Wheel]

Is it too much to ask for a Xenoverse game with a roster on par with BT3?

It kind of is, actually. Development costs skyrocketed last generation and it's much more time consuming just to make one character model these days. Not to mention Xenoverse has significantly more content than the sparse offerings of BT3, which fell short of even its own predecessor. Not to mention an even greater amount of asset reuse in Tenkaichi. You ever notice that almost all of the beam attacks in that game are exactly the same except for color?

Yikes.

Will we eventually see a Xenoverse game with a roster the size of BT3's?

Maybe if they make Xenoverse 4. I'd rather they not focus too much on the roster if it's going to make quality suffer. There's only so much you can do with Bamco keeping you on a leash.

This is why I fully advocate the idea that Bandai Namco needs to move towards having developers share assets. The Dragon Ball franchise has so many characters and settings at this point, and it's only continuing to grow. Starting from scratch each time will also only continue to serve as a huge setback in terms of content for each new game in any future series.

They don't have to use the same gameplay and can always tweak models, textures, etc. But just having that foundation would cut loads of wasted resources (time, money, etc).

Exactly! That way they could focus on improving cac customization, adding characters, adding details such as permanent stage destruction, focusing on story and all. I'm totally in favor of them using most of their material for the next game. I'm really satisfied with the strings and character models we have so far.

Goku Black with his English voice, for those of you who care about such a thing.

BTW, Black was that last slot after Super!Trunks.

It was hard to hear his voice because of the loud sounds. It seems like Goku Black sounds similar to SSj4 Goku. I guess that's not a bad thing seeing that fans felt like SSj4 Goku had a more serious tone to his voice.

[nato25]

Maybe we are just used to it but it fit Goku as a SSJ4. Black has an entirely different personality though.

Love how everyone's talking XV4, lets hype up XV3 first lol

[KinguKurimuzon]

I think the problem with Sean's Black is that he most likely hasn't seen Super, so he doesn't really know anything about Zamasu's mannerisms or characterization. I feel like he just heard Nozawa's voice clips and thought Black is supposed to sound like SSJ4.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Well that looks... Interesting.

[ekrolo2]

I'm shocked they used SS4 as a basis for that.

[Noah]

[spoiler]Do we have the three forms in this game then? Mira, Super Mira (Heroes) and this Final Form Mira? Didn't quite like the design[/spoiler]

[Lord Beerus]

Of course out of all the DNA of different warriors that Mira is made of, the Saiyan DNA would take front and centre stage when he gains a new form. He looks like the result of a yeti fucking SSJ4 Goku.

[Grimlock]

No more spoilers for me, now I want to be impressed. Although it's really hard to keep myself out of this. Trying as hard as I can to not watch that IGN video and clicking this spoiler tag... Damn.

[spoiler]We wanted Super Mira, and they went 3 steps beyond! And we'll have to hope that the DLC has him as a playable character.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]No, this is Mira after he absorbs Towa. Super Mira wasn't in the game.[/spoiler]

[Grimlock]

A little more of Sean Schemmel as Goku Black.

[ekrolo2]

This form was probably done because they might not have known how to make him look like SSG or SSBlue so they went with the one that would visually stand out more and 4 most certainly does stand out from all the others.

I see people mention a new mode where you can alter the DB story, only unlocked after beating the main story mode. Is this confirmed?

Havn't gotten to the post credits yet, all the videos I've seen have only arrived at the end.
[spoiler]I think story-wise, we'll be manipulating the timeline of the new history that hatches.[/spoiler]

[Fresh Prince]

maybe I shouldn't have watched some of the videos of the story...

I have some parts that I didn't watch, but most of the stuff was revealed in trailers so I pretty much spoiled the whole game for myself :/

and yes the person who was live-streaming didn't show post credits...I am assuming he doesn't know XV1 had post-credits. and if there is no post-credits I'm assuming Xenoverse 3 won't happen. (which I don't mind, I'd like Burst Limit 2/Raging Blast 3)

Why would no post credits mean there can't be a XV 3? The success of XV decides that.
