[Sioen]

This game will probably be a lot of fun to play,but I just know that it will be unplayable online at start with those terrible servers...

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Hell yeah! Subscribed. Thanks for the info dump. Xenoverse 1 ended up becoming my second-favorite Dragon Ball game, second only to Tenkaichi 3. Buddy of mine got me a copy for my birthday so just playing the waiting game until it unlocks on Steam!

 

[MetalSlug]

Forgot all about this releasing soon. I just hope it's better than the first game. Didn't think it was that great.

 

[donkey show]

I am here for the Team Four Star play through.

As a sidenote, three of the male voice options are members of the DBZ Abridged crew - voice 8 is once again Takahata101 as in XV1. Voice 12 is Kaiserneko, who voices Future Trunks and edits DBZA, and voice 15 is Lanipator, who voices Vegeta, Krillain, Piccolo, Mr. Popo and a few others.

Time for Demon God Dumplin 2: Electric Bugaloo!

It's awesome more of the TFS crew got in. ^^

 

[Prologue]

Still bothers me about the lack of beam struggles, since almost every villian in DBZ died due to one lol. but i'll give this a try.


no ps4 pro update?

 

[The Last Wizard]

Hoping this will have more longevity compared to the first.

 

[Seven Force]

Just a correction; I believe DB Super Trunks is unlockable in the base game, but Deluxe Edition buyers unlock him right off the bat, hence "early access"

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Confused. When's the release for this again? Says 27th for me on Steam but guess that's the UK one. I could always VPN my way through that, but what region does it release in tomorrow?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Ugh, why can't this just be out now.

Why, Bando Namcai. Whyyyyyyy...

 

[J_Viper]

So I loved the fan service and CaC aspects of Xenoverse, but thought the gameplay was horrendous.

Is this improved in that regard? I'd so I'll grab this Day One.

Steam release is on the 27th for all regions where it's available.

 

[Skii]

Can we actually buy the pre-order DLC later on or are they going to permanently be restricted to pre-orders like SSJ4 Vegeta was?

 

[McNum]

Goku Black should be available later. Not entirely sure on the Tao Pai Pai pole. But Black is the important of those two, anyway.

 

[Kysen]

How good is the PC port, 60fps? Otherwise I'll buy from the US psn store.

 

[Chille]

I can't wait to fight you all online! also I will be doing the review for PlayStation Universe.

 

[Savitar]

Won't get to play until Christmas but I look forward to it, should be a blast......as long as no one nukes the servers at that time.

 

[ezodagrom]

How good is the PC port, 60fps? Otherwise I'll buy from the US psn store.

Xenoverse 1 was a fine port (60fps, a few graphics options), iirc that port was handled by QLOC, which is well known for decent to good ports. I assume Xenoverse 2 will be the same? (we won't know for sure until release though, I guess)

EDIT: Steam store page mentions QLOC as the developer for Xenoverse 2, so yeah, I expect it to be a fine port like the first.

 

[mileS]

The first one didn't have a ton of options on PC but enough to satisfy me. You could turn off the mega bloom, change the DoF and all that. Not to mention it ran at a smooth 60fps on my super old PC (2.6GHz i5-750, 4gig ram, AMD 5850) Kind of hilarious how they didn't manage to get the PS4 version of the first game locked at 60 considering my PC could handle it without a problem.

The new game is on the same engine from what I could tell so I assume the PC port will be pretty fantastic (optimized well at the very least)

 

[War Raichu]

LOL they were like fuck it lets make him useful.

he'll be the final boss

 

[War Raichu]

So will the pre-order incentive characters be forever locked behind preordering like SSJ4 Vegeta was in the first game? If so, which version will guarantee me all pre-order characters?

I honestly want to wait until this game goes on sale before buying it but I'm not going to risk my ability to play certain characters.

Also, what exactly transfers over with your Xenoverse 1 save? I'm gonna be buying X2 on PC this time around and my character from X1 isn't very developed compared to my console characters.

Goku Black is confirmed to be getting a DLC release later on.

When transferring stuff from 1, you send over one character of your choice (for their appearance in the story), the clothing they're wearing, the moves they have equipped, and a portion of your money (some of it is also turned into Time Patrol Medals, another type of currency. Some moves can't be transferred (all transformations, plus Whis and Bardock's moves), so those are converted into medals as well.

 

[War Raichu]

there are tweaks here and there, but it's basically the same. They removed super armor for enemies and added in what's called the burst dash, which shoots you directly at a locked-on enemy, allowing you to hit people that won't stop fleeing.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Didn't play the first one but thinking about picking this one up. Is there any content from GT in these games? Either characters or story threads?

Is there any way to play Final Bout on PSN btw?

 

[McNum]

Didn't play the first one but thinking about picking this one up. Is there any content from GT in these games? Either characters or story threads?

Since it has all the XV1 DLC, then yes. Several characters and some side missions featuring them.

 

[ezodagrom]

There's characters at least.
In the first one there was a pretty short DLC story part from GT and a few quests too.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Do I have to buy those separately?

 

[ezodagrom]

Do I have to buy those separately?

I assume they'll be in the 2nd game by default?

 

[Nori Chan]

Is black fully voiced or nah?

 

[War Raichu]

all XV1 DLC is in the game by default

 

[War Raichu]

Is black fully voiced or nah?

there was footage of him earlier on Youtube but Bamco sniped it.

He's voiced by Sean Schemmel as expected

 

[Slaythe]

Can you get Trunks (blue hair) in the game or not ?

If you didn't buy the deluxe whatever. Early access implies you can unlock him in the game ? Maybe with the dragon balls or something.

 

[Tagyhag]

Loved the first game, but do we have any specific info as to how they're addressing the RNG problems of the first? That was my only major gripe with it.

 

[Rodin]

Already preordered to get Black, is the season pass worth it? I'd like to get Future Trunks as well.

Is black fully voiced or nah?

Yeah, by Goku's voice actor.

all XV1 DLC is in the game by default

Sweet!

 

[ezodagrom]

That's in the first post.

The RNG problems from the first game have apparently been addressed, and the game is much less reliant on this controversial mechanic.

 

[Tagyhag]

That's in the first post.

Right but that's why I specified "specific info" instead of just a "we're fixing it".

 

[omnislayer]

Ultimate finishes happen if you meet the requirements period. So that's a big improvement.

Also drops are far more generous.

 

[McNum]

Also, you will never go empty-handed from an Ultimate Finish. I think there's a minimum of two drops now. It's still random which two, though.

 

[Abilidebob]

Is there any advantage in buying the deluxe edition on pre-order like pre-order only bonuses or I can preorder the normal edition now for Black and buy the season pass later?

 

[Tagyhag]

Well those things already sound like a huge improvement, great!

 

[War Raichu]

Yeah, by Goku's voice actor.


Sweet!

I'm fairly certain Future Trunks is available in the game already, the season pass just unlocks him from the start. At least that's what the Steam page suggests (they call him "early access")

 

[ViciousDS]

Humans can use kaioken but can they do mystic or anything else.....would be lame for then being the only race that doesn't get a specific transformation. Because frieza race can go gold....majins can go kid form.

 

[War Raichu]

all transformations from XV1 return but are retweaked. Kaioken works like SSJ where the more ki you have, the higher level you transform into. Unlocked Potential is also back.

humans can use the kinto (flying nimbus) and power pole.

 

[Skii]

Yeah that's fine. As long as I can get Black later on when I buy this game, I'm fine with it.

 

[ViciousDS]

That's awesome!!!! What's the downside to transforming? Stamina doesn't Regen?

 

[Rodin]

I'm fairly certain Future Trunks is available in the game already, the season pass just unlocks him from the start. At least that's what the Steam page suggests (they call him "early access")

Oh, so i can get it at a later date if it's worth it. Thanks

 

[Mediking]

The game is doomed to get a price drop within a few months and I'll pick it up then.

 

[War Raichu]

That's awesome!!!! What's the downside to transforming? Stamina doesn't Regen?

SSJ is covered in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4r8IW_XF0k

tldr; your ki and stamina regeneration is nerfed considerably for each level. You can no longer spam ki blasts either. Presumably Kaioken works in a similar fashion.

Pure Buu and Namekian Giant both drain stamina, and in the latter's case, any damage you take is translated into stamina loss, so you're basically invincible until the transformation wears off, at which point your guard breaks and you have to wait for your stamina to come back.

I'm not sure what the downside is to Golden form, but presumably it's also stamina based.

 

[Revven]

If you didn't buy the deluxe whatever. Early access implies you can unlock him in the game ? Maybe with the dragon balls or something.

He is unlockable in the game, yes. We don't know the method, yet. But it's fairly plausible/likely he is a Dragon Ball wish along with Hit.

 

[Lagamorph]

Top props to cdkeys, they cancelled my pre-order and refunded my Paypal payment within 15 minutes of me submitting a support ticket.

On a Sunday!

 

[bizzarewars]

I'm pumped. Gonna be playing a Frieza race character for this one and spec-ing for Ki stuff. It'll be pretty much the polar opposite of my character in Xenoverse 1.
