Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Could Face Major Problems!

[@JayQuest69]

there's definitely going to be some issues but the core fundamentals of the game is quality and they put time into it so they can patch a lot of other stuff

[@pancwake8444]

Yeah I thought the cell animation was insanely weird too.

[@ImBoboZ]

thank god, im not the only one hahah

[@KuraiNoOni]

I feel like the lack of cross play at launch might benefit Spike Chunsoft, who made the original Budokai Tenkaichi games as well, to properly monitor and distribute the server load more properly, so that there will only be a low window of high latency. Considering that digital preorders of the deluxe and ultimate versions come with 3 days advanced access, my best bet is the critical window being within the first two days of advanced access, so the day one experience will be better when buyers of the retail and the base version can experience the games as well. As for the DP Point system - there already is a DP Point system confirmed for Sparking Zero. Didn't remember BT3 had this feature as well - has been a long time since I last played it.

[@ImBoboZ]

ohh your properly right about that haha, I do still hope that they will add it to the game later on.

[@infamousguy1]

Ill stick to fighterz maybe if there a splitscreen mod to play on more then one map ill play it

[@KuraiNoOni]

@@infamousguy1 it‘s only a matter of time, I guess. If your PC has the power for it, that shouldn’t be a problem.( that can be a matter of which build of UE5 Spike Chunsoft is using, in regards to how demanding that change is on your CPU since Chaos Physics primarily runs on the CPU, maybe the same with Niagara Particles)

The connoisseur of Dragon Ball 🤌

[@DarkReaperK97]

You are right about Spike Chunsoft, and their previous slop rleeases. You are right about the whack animation. I think people won't listen to you because they are way too hardcore DragonBall fans. And it's not that they think the game is gonna be bad. But because they want it to be good. And have put it locked in their head and no amount of convincing will get them out of it until they try it themselves. I have a strong feeling all your warning signs will proof to be right. I shall return in 4 days.

[@ImBoboZ]

I think your right, and like them, I also really want this game to be great, but we'll only be able to tell in 4 days, so I'll await your return! haha

[@DarkReaperK97]

Ah. Wellp, The game is amazing! At the end of the day we've all won anyway!

[@ImBoboZ]

@@DarkReaperK97 bro we fking won! Haha

[@outkastkidd]

For what it was …. Jump force was fun . Just enjoy it for what it was bro …

[@DorminatorX]

spike also made BT3

[@lilcalebiv6657]

I think they need cross play and 2v2’s

[@ImBoboZ]

Dude 2v2 would be awesome

[@lilcalebiv6657]

And I was thinking a 10v 10 HEAR ME OUT LET ME COOK, what if it was like a TOP type of set up where you would have 10 fighter from each team fight one on one and most wins wins

[@ImBoboZ]

Your idea isnt bad but 10v10 does sound a little crazy haha, I could see this work with like 5v5 or something but ay maybe lol

[@jpooleification]

You know the have confirm already the dp system for ranked in sparking?

[@ImBoboZ]

oh really! I didn't know it was confirmed but thats great news! haha

[@jpooleification]

@@ImBoboZ otherwise krillin is never getting touched lol. Great video man keep it up!

[@ImBoboZ]

@@jpooleification nahh thats true lmao, and thanks a bunch man!

[@KodyCrimson]

It's a standard feature too

[@KodyCrimson]

It's nice to see a reasonable skeptic for once. Too many people are just like "Oh all these characters are clearly locked behind DLC" despite official statements saying otherwise, the game looking absolutely horrible to play despite almost everyone who played it saying it feels great to play, and complaining about the roster size being inflated despite it actually being that big (and even without the "inflating" to STILL be huge). Reasonable and realistic skepticism like yours is very refreshing and sobering.

[@ImBoboZ]

ahh Thank you so much, I can't believe that people are actually complaining about the roster haha. I really do wonder, how its going to feel to play the game, Ig we will have to try it out ourselves to see, if they're right or not haha

[@thezenyattamain4244]

This game already has a graphics problem with it as well as lighting and saturation it’s pretty bad the gameplay also seems to be pretty bad it’s just tenkaichi but slightly better graphics but even at that the graphics are still horrible

[@jamesleveridge4293]

Graphics are horrible? You're fucking blind... And combat seems bad?! And you call yourself a Budokai Tenkaichi fan bro it's the same combat as the old games wtf is you on about

[@KodyCrimson]

@@jamesleveridge4293 It's improved as well, they've added quite a few layers and new mechanics to smooth out how it plays. Guy just wants to hate for the sake of hating.

[@backseatgaming9087]

Yeah i think tenkaichi 3 is still better than sparking zero. Reconsidering whether i want to drop $50-$100 on sparking zero.

[@thezenyattamain4244]

@@backseatgaming9087 from my point of view get it on deal when it’s like 20-30 it just doesn’t look worth 50-100

[@KuraiNoOni]

great to know that even bigger studios like Spike Chunsoft are struggling with UE5's lighting as well. Lumen( the ray-tracing method used in UE5) tends to over expose bright emmisive materials, which would apply to models with "toon"( aka NPR - Non-Photorealistic) shading. From more recent trailers I can tell, that they did manage to fine tune the exposure, therefore reducing the bloom. Not sure about other tweaks they did in post processing volumes though. Exposure also affects how saturated everything appears. As for performance: They are likely leveraging Chaos Physics, to handle the environmental destruction, as well as extensively use the Niagara Particle System( for example the smoke particles). Those combined with Lumen come with a certain performance hit.( hence the dev team's reasoning about split screen only being available in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Split Screen adds another performance hit to it) That said it is easier to make a Stylized game( like for example Fortnite) look good with "realistic" shading, than with "non realistic" shading in Unreal Engine, because of the way the graphics pipeline was designed.
