Dragon Ball Xenoverse

Not even a week ago Dragon Ball Xenoverse, the latest game based on the Dragon Ball series released earlier this year on consoles and PC, has been made available for a reduced price on Amazon. All versions of the game have been discounted so that all consoles and PC owners could take advantage of the deal. If you have missed this deal but still want to purchase the PC version of the game, you will be happy to know that another Dragon Ball Xenoverse deal has surfaced online in the past few hours.

The Bandai Namco store is currently offering the PC digital version of Dragon Ball Xenoverse for half its usual price, $24.99 instead of $49.95. This is a really good deal so make sure to take advantage of it as soon as possible if you want to play the game in the near future. The Bandai Namco store is also discounting several other titles such as Dark Souls, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, Project CARS and more.

Two weeks ago Bandai Namco launched the first Dragon Ball Xenoverse Online tournament. The first phase, the Beta Test, has ended on August 23rd, and the second one, the qualification rounds, have begun yesterday and will last until September 6th. The final rounds of the tournament will be held from September 12th until September 26th.

Last month Dragon Ball Xenoverse received its final DLC pack. This pack includes four new playable characters, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta, Golden Frieza, and Jaco the Galactic Patroller, 5 new Parallel Quests, 2 new Masters, 8 new Master Quests, 14 new special moves, 2 new Accessories and 7 Z-Souls which can be used to customize the player created character. Costumes inspired by the Resurrection “F” movie were also announced for the pack, but they have been released for free for everyone a few days before the DLC was released in all regions.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is now available in all regions on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.

Developers are reportedly questioning the purpose behind Sony’s PS5 Pro upgrade

Two major stories have emerged at GDC this year: the decline of Xbox’s brand and the speculation surrounding the purpose of the PS5 Pro. During a podcast discussion, Christopher Dring, a prominent reporter from GamesIndustry.biz, expressed his observations about the lack of understanding surrounding Sony’s rumored mid-gen upgrade. Dring claims that he came across a lot of people at the show who were confused about its purpose.

He made it clear that he anticipates “PS5 fans” upgrading, which gives Sony certain advantages. However, game developers are finding it difficult to generate enthusiasm for the system. “Developers don’t seem to see the necessity for it, based on my conversations with them,” he disclosed. Some people believe they aren’t fully maximizing the potential of the PS5 from the start.

With the lingering effects of the pandemic and the lengthy development cycles, the PlayStation 5 has yet to showcase a substantial lineup of exclusive blockbuster titles. “Some companies expressed skepticism about the potential for growth and impact,” Dring nonchalantly remarked. This current generation of consoles appears to have barely begun, with no apparent demand for a mid-generation update. How about we focus on developing fresh, cutting-edge software?

The journalist later explained that Sony likely has realistic expectations for the refresh, understanding that it will likely have limited appeal to a specific audience. As we’ve mentioned before, the introduction of PlayStation Spectral Resolution and other innovative features is aimed at enhancing the performance modes in games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Thus, if such an experience resonates with your preferences, you likely fall into the niche audience that PlayStation aims to cater to.

Sony’s Bend Studios is expanding its team for another high-profile game, signaling PlayStation’s ongoing pursuit of the live service trend. When we last heard from the Oregan-based developer of Days Gone, Bend expressed their anticipation and confidence in their upcoming project, suggesting that it would propel the studio to new heights.

By way of Eurogamer, the studio has alerted us to this most recent update. It appears that a recruitment ad has been recently posted on the company’s website. Bend is looking for a lead project manager who can effectively manage project scope based on current team velocities and milestone schedules. The role requires hands-on game development experience in leadership roles, specifically in shipping AAA live-service games. Specifically, the ideal candidate should possess a proven ability to transform game development studios from a traditional focus on boxed products to dynamic live service development, all while holding a key leadership position.

It’s worth noting that while a service game out of Bend has the potential to be great, it’s important to acknowledge the numerous failed attempts in recent history. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve reported on a cancelled Spider-Man game, rumors of an online Twisted Metal project, and a fantasy co-op game that got axed when London Studio shut down. And mind you, that’s just scratching the surface of what Sony has been up to. Choosing to take a chance with a studio that specializes in single-player games seems questionable, to say the least.
