Looks like the usual Dragon Ball game.

That joke has long since lost its luster and meaning.

This actually looks really promising. But I won't get my hopes up too high.

So... I'm kinda worried that that redhead is Trunks, and he's been able to obtain some cheesy Dragon Ball AF transformation.

Or! It could be a completely new character, which the the devs should have been thinking of doing a long time ago!

SS4 Trunks? Does mention a stopped clock, could refer to Trunk's alternate future time line. It's not like other threats would have stopped coming to Earth. Who knows what happened during his version of the Boo saga.

Here's some Dragon Ball Xenoverse gameplay

Looks very promising so far...

I think I'll be keeping more of an eye on this game, as in opinion, it seem to have the potential to be damn good Dragon Ball game.

And those visuals... Shocked

Well, that video did bring up something that has kept me away from more recent DBZ games. Some of them treat transformations as separate characters and won't let you actually transform during the fight, which always bugged me. I liked the idea of gaining added power but having to be even more mindful of fatigue at the same time.

It'll have to be a notable step towards the better games on the PS2 to be worth a look, outdoing the PS3 and 360 DBZ games was done by most of the DS and PSP Dragon Ball games last generation.

That is what I've been waiting for. The "best" one to come out in a long time was Attack of the Saiyans on the DS. Laughing

I still wish we could get something like the old SNES RPG. Sad

Seeing how the majority of DBZ games are fighters, I wish I was better at those types of games. Guess another DBZ game to skip over.

Because the DBZ story really isn't that good? I don't know an RPG feels like it'd be wasted on DBZ - I can't see any genre beside fighting game being worth using the franchise.

The entire manga story is worth it. Plus there are so many elements that could be added to an RPG. Too bad no developer will go that far.
