    I read the subtitle to the article and guessed who it was supposed to be right away. It was too obvious that this wasn't a character in the DBZ universe, just a composite that you can customize yourself, which I do like. If this is closer to Budokai than the most recent releases, I will consider getting it.

    It's Trunks, not Trunk.

    I like the female Buu. Ultimately though, it comes down to gameplay, not characters.

    Finally we get to make and play our own little girls. But seriously, Dragonball games lately have been horrible and this probably won't change that.

    I saw this on another news site before but forgot if it was announced here or not, so got excited for a second that there was another surprise at an actual guest character that wouldn't be Naruto or Luffy.

    I'm pretty "meh" to the DBO character re-use, but I'm game for trying custom characters on something that's not Ultimate Tenkaichi. Those female Majins still completely bug me though.

    Now when do we get to the customization level where it's not just Dragonball and Dr. Slump related things and we get some nods to Toriyama's other works? Throw in a Spartan 1337 reference in the 360 version of the game, I'm sold.
    No, Luke. I killed Mufasa!

    I like what I see from Xenoverse so far. It seems they are trying to take the Dragonball fighting game series to another level of re-tooling into an MMO-esque style of gameplay. And so far, it looks to be going into the right direction in terms of starting back from the ground up. All the past DBZ games from this generation seem to just be revamps of a previous older series from the PS2 such as Burst Limit simply being a Budokai reboot and Raging Blast being a Budokai Tenkachi update. I would be the first to say it's time for something fresh, especially for an anime that stopped it's original run in America over a decade ago.

    Any Dragonball products related to the Manga, Anime, Funimation, Toei Animation or Akira Toriyama are always a must-buy for me. I will continue to support any gaming releases they shell out for many years to come.

    Maesenko said:Young Bulma? Or is that Bra?Neither. It's an example of a player-created character.

    This looks cool. I recently completed Ultimate Tenkaichi and Budokai HD Collection, so I'd be up for some more Dragon Ball games.

    Unless they give me some gameplay similar to that of Burst Limit I can't say the hype is there. At this point that's all I really want.

    This is timeline inconsistent with the series, these characters should not all be alive at the same time, especially the original Saiyans. They were interesting characters from the series, but adult Trunks is like 1000's of times stronger then them, so they can't really fight each other, without suspending disbelief.

    Looks like we're going to take a page out of Dragon Ball: Heroes! Can't wait!

If Dragonball games kept power levels in mind, it'd make for a boring experience given the fact so many characters would be useless.

    I don't get why this article is written as if this announcement was a surprise. Users on this site even called out the custom character idea in the first article about the "new mystery" character. It makes it seem like the journalist is pandering to the publisher instead of discussing with the readers.

    Video game journalism has a long way to go cry

    I can't wait for this!

    I gotta finish up on Raging Blast 1,2 and Burst Limit.
