More skilled fans will still be able to enjoy the more complex mechanics, however, thanks to a combo layering system that would be present in the game, he added. Fights occurred at a speedy pace and looked flashy, but Yamazaki assured me the combo system had been created with the goal of allowing the game to be more "accessible."
It was a small feature that had no impact on battles where mechanics were concerned, but added a nice little touch of authenticity. And although the game will also see release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, I was assured that developer Dimps was "building this game as a next-gen game."Ĭharacters in Dragon Ball Xenoverse sport real-time animations during battles, as evidenced by the grimaces I witnessed on Goku's face during his fight with Cell. Sure, the characters looked the same and their trademark moves remained conceptually unchanged, but the aesthetics in Dragon Ball XV brought the universe to a new level of vibrancy. Energy blasts looked brighter, characters had gained visual depth that was absent in the anime, and Goku's signature kamehameha move pulsed with a newfound blazing energy. As a long-time fan of the Dragon Ball Z anime, seeing such battles take place again resonated with me.įor all their similarities however, these fights felt different to the anime counterparts I held in my memory. It featured Goku engaged in one-on-one battles with a variety of familiar enemies including Frieza, Cell, and Buu. I was treated to a viewing of a very early version of the game with global producer Shoya Yamazaki. Developed by Japanese studio Dimps, which previously worked on the well-received Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series, Dragon Ball Xenoverse marks the first time the series will be hitting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The scene is a classic Dragon Ball Z battle re-created within Dragon Ball Xenoverse (XV), the latest entry in the Dragon Ball series of fighting games. He clashed with another familiar face, Vegeta, and the duo made a show of exchanging blows. It was the uniform of Goku, the iconic lead character of an anime series that is nearly 30 years old. Its cadence struck a familiar chord in me, as the camera panned across barren terrain and landed on the back of a recognisable orange gi. "Warriors, gather here!" a deep voice booms.
