Revision as of 15:32, 5 March 2015


Dragon Ball: Xenoverse (ドラゴンボール ゼノバース, Doragon Bōru Zenobāsu) is a Dragon Ball game developed by Dimps for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows (via Steam). The release date for all consoles was February 5, 2015 in Japan, February 13th in Great Britain, February 27th in Europe, February 26th in Australia, and February 24th in North America. The Steam release date was February 27th, 2015.[1]

The game contains many elements from the 2010 PC game Dragon Ball Online and the 2010 arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes.

Overview

Development

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, shortened as Dragon Ball XV, is the fifteenth Dragon Ball fighting game released on home consoles since Dimps' first Dragon Ball Z: Budokai game, and the first fighting game developed by Dimps to feature full 3D battles similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series. It was originally known as Dragon Ball New Project,[3] until the actual title was revealed on June 10, 2014.[4]

Gameplay

Battles are set in full 3D destructible environments. Fighters can traverse the levels free-roaming in very large spaces and can be fighting on a platform, go in the air, and fight underwater. They run when on the ground, and swim while underwater. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse has dialogue while fights go on, and fighters show facial expressions when they strike an opponent or take damage. In addition to the ever-present ki meter, there is a green stamina meter which can be used up to instantly disappear behind an opponent. This meter can also be used up by certain super attacks like the Kaio-ken.

The players have some freedom to explore the planet Earth as it exists in the Dragon Ball universe along with a handful of other locations, including a mysterious new city which is the point of origin for the game's new character. Like in all the Dragon Ball Z fighting games developed by Dimps, rather than choosing between Goku in his base form and his different Super Saiyan transformations, the character's power and abilities can be gradually increased over the course of each match. However, other multi-form fighters like Frieza and Buu will not be able to transform, as their transformations require many physical modifications to their character models, and as such, all their forms will be separate characters.

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Dragon Ball: Xenoverse also include unique gameplay features proper to this generation of consoles.

Split-screen multiplayer is also featured for the game similar to the Budokai Tenkaichi (series).

In a similar fashion to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, there can be more than 1v1 in battle. There will also be no Quicktime Events in battle and there will be cancels for special attacks.

Features

FPFriezaPunchedBySSGoku(DBNP)

100% Power Frieza hit by Super Saiyan Goku's Super God Fist

  • Fights can be up to 3 vs. 3.
  • New world setup - a clock that once had stopped will start to tick again in an enigmatic and futuristic city.

  • Character customization - players will have a wide variety of customization options including physical features from the Earthling, Majin, Namekian, Saiyan, and Frieza's races. In an interview with Masayuki Hirano, a Bandai-Namco producer, it was stated that custom characters will be able to level up, allowing for improvements in skill. Each class will also have unique traits and starting stats as shown in the recent Network test beta, like Namekians having greater healing with items and gaining regeneration when health is low with high health and defense, Saiyans have low health and high attack and grow stronger when they are revived.
  • Become an apprentice - custom characters will be able to become the apprentices of characters from the original Dragon Ball characters to gain their special moves and costumes. [5]

Plot

Towa and Mira's Time Breakers have begun interfering with time, and so the Time Patrol, led by Future Trunks and the Future Warrior, are sent back in time to stop them. The Future Warrior can travel through different parts of the Dragon Ball timeline using a scroll named the Book of Endings and Beginnings. Every time the Future Warrior fixes the events which were changed by the Time Breakers, history returns to running its original course. The game takes place in age 850.

The Time Breakers destroying history causes many changes to the timeline:

  • During Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan's battle with Raditz, the Time Breakers interfere and power up Raditz, allowing him to dodge Gohan's attack and escape the Full-Nelson Special Beam Cannon, causing only Goku to be hit and then finishes off Piccolo with a Enegry Blast. Later on, Vegeta does not kill Nappa, and both he and Vegeta are powered up and transform into Great Apes to battle Goku.
  • Later on Namek, thanks to the Time Breaker's interference, Ginyu switches bodies with Vegeta and he, Gohan and Krillin are killed by the Ginyu Force. Then they attack Goku, who manages to defend himself , until Ginyu switches bodies with Goku, leaving him in Vegeta's body. Goku tries to fight but fails due to Vegeta's weaker body is overwhelmed by the Ginyu Force and Ginyu throws a Kamehameha at Goku, thus killing him.
  • Later, due to the Time Breaker's interference, Frieza begins to win the conflict, forcing the Future Warrior to interfere, though Frieza still defeats him, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo. Frieza is also given a dark power up, but is eventually defeated by Goku and Future Warrior.
  • Cell is given the dark power up during the Cell Games, and Mr. Satan is also taken control of after Cell tries to kill him. The Cell Jr's are also taken over and kill everyone except for Gohan and Goku is left powerless and unable to move and is presumably killed by the powered up Hercule. At the climax of the Cell Games, Gohan never brought out his true power and when Gohan and Cell are preparing their Kamehameha clash, Cell is powered up by the Time Breakers and joined by 2 Cell Jr's and kill Gohan.
  • Majin Buu is given the dark power up when he fights Super Saiyan 3 Goku and splits into three Buu's. later Piccolo is taken control of by Demigra and kills both Goten and Trunks, but the Future Warrior interferes and corrects the timeline preventing this. Later Super Buu is taken over by Demigra and blows up the Earth during his fight with Gohan. Thanks to the Future Warrior interfering Super Buu instead changes into Kid Buu and engages Gohan and the Super Warrior in a fight, which results in Earth being destroyed, however Goku was able to save Hercule and the Future Warrior from the blast. During the final battle with Kid Buu, Goku is not strong enough alone to push the Super Spirit Bomb into Kid Buu, so the Future Warrior arrives and helps him to use the attack.
  • When Beerus comes to Earth, Vegeta manages to stop Buu from eating all the pudding, and gives some to Beerus. Beerus is unable to enjoy the dessert, as Goten and Trunk's ball knocks the pudding out of Beerus' hands(although it appeared to be taken control of by Demigra who changed it's course prior). Seeing that Majin Buu has already eaten all the other pudding, Beerus attacks, forcing the Future Warrior to interfere and hold off Beerus with the Z-Fighters. Later Beerus is given the dark power up and prepares an energy sphere, seemingly with the intent to destroy Earth. Just before Beerus tosses the ball of energy, he turns and aims at Démigra. After Démigra barely avoids the attack and the follow up finger laser, Beerus joins the Future Warrior to fight Démigra. The Future Warrior tries to finish off Démigra with a golden ki enhanced punch through his chest, but Démigra's wound merely manifests as dissipated dark energy and he teleports away.
  • After the defeat of Demigra another history shift takes place and reveals a wormhole is popping up and pulling people out of their time. One occurs during Bardock's final moments before he confronts Frieza. Frieza's men are powered up by Towa as is Frieza and the Future Warrior is forced to intervine to ensure history remains on course. However before Planet Vegeta is destroyed the wormhole swallows Bardock, taking him away. The Future Warrior follows the wormhole and ends up at the start of Videl, Goten and Trunks confronting Broly on Earth. Broly is powered up by Towa and once again the Future Warrior has to intervine to protect them. Before Broly can be beaten, he is pulled into the wormhole. Future Warrior once again follows and ends up in Age 767 with Bardock and Broly meeting face to face on a dying Namek a few miles away from where SSJ Goku and Frieza are fighting, with Towa's intentions of having Broly and Bardock see their Arch-Nemesis and go into a rage in hopes of Goku or Frieza being killed. Bardock, due to seeing the future, knows this isn't right and after hearing Broly cry out for Goku, Bardock then engages Broly saying that is his son's destiny to confront and beat Frieza and attempts to stall Broly so his son can beat Frieza. The Future Warrior jumps in to help him but before the battle can be concluded they are taken off of Namek thanks to the Dragon Balls and resume the fight on Earth, with Vegeta stumbling across the fight. Bardock recognizing Vegeta requests Vegeta to make a powerball so he can transform into a Great Ape to fight Broly. Vegeta, while confused as to why he looks like Goku, complies and does so and watches the fight from afar. Vegeta eventually jumps in and assist Great Ape Bardock and the Future Warrior in killing the time displaced Broly. After the fight Bardock was heavily injured and transformed back to normal due to injuries and says "serves you right, no one will mess with my son." before appearing to die from his injuries. Vegeta is shocked that they managed to kill Broly but before he can process what happened he is suddenly knocked out. Future Trunks is revealed as the one who knocked him out and tells The Future Warrior to go and he will clean up here. After their plan failed Towa is shown with the remaining cell of Mira and says they have failed but will return.

Once each of these changed times have been righted, the Dragon Ball timeline returns to normal.

However, new parallel timelines are created from fragments when the timeline is fixed. These events are dramatically different from anything that happens in the main timeline.

  • A time when Goku fights alongside Raditz.
  • A time when the Ginyu Force attack Earth.

In this mode, the player creates a Dragon Ball history unknown to all by their own hand. [4] Early promotions for the game draw attention to a mysterious figure watching the first battle between Goku and Vegeta from the shadows, and pose the question of who he is and what this means.[3] With red hair, a scouter, and the Capsule Corporation logo on his sleeve, this character is referred to as Future Warrior, and has come back to intervene in the legendary battles of the series.[4] Bandai Namco does note that it is quite intentional that he seems to have features from many other, established characters in the series.[6] Two new areas are also introduced in the game: the Time Storage Vault which is stated to be almost like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and a high-tech city with what appears to be a Time Machine landed on it.[3] Standing next to the Time Storage Vault is none other than Future Trunks, the warrior who once came back to the past to save his future, and he is wearing clothes similar to the ones he wears as Time Patrol Trunks in the computer game Dragon Ball Online.[4] Bandai Namco announced that the Time Machine, hourglass, and other features in these futuristic locales all tie together.[6] In an interview from the Japan Expo, it was revealed that story mode will be called “Universe Mode”.[7]

  • DLC Pack 1 (available in March 2015): 3 playable characters (GT Goku, Pan and GT Trunks), 4 Time Patrol Quests, 12 Quests, 15 Special Moves for the players' avatars,(such as Final Shine Attack, Power Pole Combos, and Spirit Bomb), and 5 additional costumes.

  • DLC Pack 3 (release date not confirmed): Turtle Hermit set (sunglasses, Turtle Hermit's Shell, Turtle Hermit's Beard, Turtle Hermit's Aloha Shirt), Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, and other exclusive content.

Eis and Nuova Shenron are rumored to be in DLC 2 based on recent voices found in data mining

Timeline placement

  • The events taking place in Toki Toki City in Xenoverse take place in Age 850. This is 60 years after the conclusion of Dragon Ball GT (Age 790), 39 years before Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi's Hero Mode and Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission, and 150 years before Dragon Ball Online.
  • Due to time travel, most of the story happens during the events of Dragon Ball Z, from the arrival of Raditz, to Beerus' visit to Earth.

Trivia

  • Xenoverse is Dimps' first attempt at making a 3D Dragon Ball fighting game.
  • Xenoverse is the fifteenth Dragon Ball fighting game for home consoles since Dimps' Dragon Ball Z: Budokai. XV, the official abbreviation for Xenoverse, also stands as the Roman numeral for 15. The game is also set for a 2015 release. [28]
  • The Greek word "Xenoverse" means "uncharted territory".
File:Xenoverse - Dead Yamcha Super Attack.png

Yamcha's "Fake Death" super move

  • During an interview with Masayuki Hirano, he stated that although the game was announced for consoles only, they may consider releasing it for PC if there was sufficient fan demand. It has since been confirmed to be released on Steam.
  • Yamcha's pose when he is killed by a Saibaman is referenced in the game as a special attack. The "playing dead" emote animation also uses the pose.
  • Each created character has their own set of default settings as well as their own attributes.
  • This is the first Dragon Ball fighting game to include both Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan 4 together.
  • This is also the first Fighting game by Dimps to feature all the members of the Ginyu Force as playable characters (adding Burter, Jeice and Guldo).
  • When fighting Ginyu with his own body, Goku says "Now we can get my body back!" despite the fact that it is the Future Warrior's body that was stolen.
  • Regardless of the player's gender, characters will refer to them with masculine pronouns and terminology.
  • Similar to Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, created characters can use skills of characters who are not playable in the game (such as Nam's Cross Arm Dive, Cooler's Death Chaser and Salza's Sauzer Blade).
