Nothing new gained.

Darn, we seriously need to know more and i'm not talking about angels torturing frieza or whatever that might be!

Well, I learned the Time Kaioshin's scroll (Book of Endings and Beginnings) is called the "Scroll of Eternity" in English. But while I like that it keeps scroll in the name, the rest just kind of loses the mysticism/ornateness.

a lot of people seem dissapointed by the intro. I havent watched it yet as I'm trying to avoid spoiler and I knew the animation quality would be low as it has been with the games in recent years (not a fan of those Ultimate Tenkaichi anime scenes). However seems people are mad it isn't an intro like say budokai 2 or 3 or even Battle of Z had. We always knew it was just a story intro and wouldn't have been one of those z warriors vs all enemies at once type of intros.

It's pretty much the first part of BoZ's intro but split into single fights and with Towa's magic added.

It ain't much... plus the animation itself lacks any punch. I guess you can wait if you want, it won't amaze you when you see it... or maybe it will? It was lame in my opinion, maybe you'll like it. As far as animated openings go... this is at the bottom for me.

[Chuquita]

Just watched. The opening is nothing to write home about, but if there are only so many resources, I would rather it go to F anyway.

Looking forward to plot spoilers! :3

That's the thing though, it does seem to sort of be an opening like those games got. Most of it is "main heroes versus main villains", with only a couple of the more story related things tossed in as well. It's missing multiple scenes from the trailers too and seemingly lacks dialogue, so I really don't think that's the actual OVA.

Either way though, it would be disappointing.

[SSJ God Gogeta]

Okay!!! Just got back from work, lets see what's new with Xenoverse.

For this so called ''Final list'', I'm just gonna wait for when the game comes out before I make my judgement. On the Youtube front, people are up in arms getting their pitchforks ready. Some people are so upset that they are demanding a bigger roster. If their demands are not met, they say they will not be supporting this game...

Wow, people these days...

Here we have the game's opening:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAk-IoQgbuM
Judging from the fact, that the song is muted, it's safe to say, that the song is indeed FLOW's version of CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA, probably with Trunks wishing for a warrior.

I ain't really got nothing bad to say about it. The animation is eeeeeh, but it gets the point across about the game so I guess that's all that really matters.

One more livestream tomorrow at 8 (6 am for the east coast): http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv208515239

Awesome, I hope it's better than the last one.

[nato25]

Yeah just watched it that sucked lol. Its like they were filming it as one of those movies where one person is playing two actors so they can't be in the shot at the same time. I was expecting a 3 minute animated voiced cutscene with Trunks explaining the situation and summoning you and all that. I don't even know what that was...

[Big Momma]

Well I mean we already basically get an OVA doing just that (and more) already so I'm sure a less-than-stellar Pre-menu opening ain't a bad trade-off.

[PhoenixEX]

Looks like I'm renting this game whenever GameStop has it used.

So you think there is an additional OVA as well ? I'm not too fussed about animated content to be honest, I'd actually prefer my in game stuff to be rendered with in game graphics. Too much of a disconnect to go between two radically different styles. My perfect DBZ game would have a great animated sequence and in game cutscenes for story mode.

[SirAndrew]

That into was very underwhelming. It's always unfortunate when the game has a lackluster into. I personally like to watch most of the intros every time I start the game up, this one will probably be skipped more often than not. It's all about the game play anyways.

I'm referencing to theanimated scenes we get for the story mode. Which...looking back, appears to only be one scene at the start of story mode. Eh well.

[nato25]

I'm inclined to believe that scene may just be the intro everyone is complaining about, however I hope I'm wrong on that front.

[Sigh-Ya-Jin]

Why can't people just leave well enough a-fucking-lone?! People complain about the dumbest shit so much that it's mind boggling...I don't care if it had an intro or not, I'll still buy and play the game. It could've started with the Xenoverse screen for all I fucking care..

[shadd21]

Because of the opening?

Of course, I'm still buying this, but how can I be excited to play a game with an intro like that? Check out Guilty Gear Xrd's opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ9Cd4MKqHs (Arcade and console openings are the same) That always gets me excited to play the game. It also doesn't have a very big budget as you would expect, so you can't really argue that more time and money was spent on the intro than in Xenoverse's intro, and it still manages to pull off a nice intro.
So yes, I will be skipping this intro, but I'll let the music play during the title screen because I like FLOW
Unless, of course, they change the opening music again because of licensing issues.....

[Big Momma]

Did you watch the intro (Not trying to be sarcastic. I'm genuinely curious)? They aren't the same. Even the news post/trailers make it clear that the story mode animations are their own thing.

[nato25]

I did watch it. That's good to hear then.
