Aloy Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I really dislike that cell-shaded artstyle in these modern DB games. Why don't they go back to DBZ: BT's artstyle. Even on the PS2, it looked excellent and much closer to the actual anime I'd like something like this. Current-gen hardware can make it look even better. I'm not sure what this style is called.

Big Boss Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Except DB Legends, GT Final Bout, Budokai 1 and Raging Blast 1, all DB games on PlayStation/Xbox have been cell shaded. So I have no idea what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroNeo Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I prefer the anime artstyle as well, they have a good thing going with Dragon ball super anime, i hoped that style transitioned into games, with all the shiny stuff in the game they are missing the gameplay that got us hooked on the budokai tenkaichi games, not saying xenoverse isn't good but i want to feel the engrossment with the game.

Exactly. To be honest, I'd buy DBZ: BT2/3 immediately if they remaster it for current gen platforms. Looking forward to this game too though.

Shadoken Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm not sure what that older style is called.. But I prefer this Rather than the one in the OP. what ? That looks like the same cel shaded style. Only one that was kinda different was original Budokai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloy Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 ^^ Maybe it's just a matter of colour composition and other things and not rendering techniques, but old BT games certainly look different than these Xenoverse style Cell-shaded games. Actually, DBZ: Raging Blast is similar to the old BT games, and they look awesome. I'd like something like this.. Rather than this.. I can easily see this difference, even if both of these are indeed cell-shaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I think you are just talking about the shadows. The older ones have a simplistic uniform single color. Which I guess is more similar to the Anime itself However Xenoverse is trying to make its artstyle more modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentassassin Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Guess we'll get more info in E3 or TGS. I should complete Xenoverse 1 before that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want DBZ games to look more like the original anime. BT games looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentassassin Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I hope they make the game more cinematic. I have'nt played a whole lot of Xenoverse, but i felt the super attacks and the ultimate attacks should have been more cinematic like RB2 or BT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
