The Power of Rollback Netcode
For those unfamiliar with the concept, rollback netcode is a revolutionary technology that has become a must-have feature in modern fighting games. It addresses the age-old problem of lag and latency in online multiplayer matches, allowing for a more responsive and enjoyable experience. With rollback netcode, players can engage in battles with opponents from around the world without the frustration of delayed inputs or stuttering gameplay.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, the implementation of rollback netcode promises to take the game’s fast-paced, action-packed fights to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned competitive player or a casual fan looking to test your skills online, this update will ensure that every match feels smooth and fair. No more blaming lag for your losses – it’s time to let your true fighting prowess shine!
A Visual Upgrade for Current-Gen Consoles
Alongside the rollback netcode update, Dragon Ball FighterZ will also receive a current-gen upgrade for Xbox Series X|S and PS5. This enhancement will render the game in stunning 4K resolution, making every ki blast, Super Saiyan transformation, and dramatic finish look more spectacular than ever before. Prepare to be blown away by the crisp, detailed visuals that bring the iconic Dragon Ball characters to life like never before.
The Best Just Got Better
Even without these upgrades, Dragon Ball FighterZ has long been regarded as one of the best fighting games in the Dragon Ball franchise. Since its debut on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in January 2018, the game has captivated fans with its explosive action, faithful representation of the anime’s spirit, and accessible yet deep gameplay mechanics.
GameSpot’s review of Dragon Ball FighterZ praised the game’s ability to draw in players, regardless of their familiarity with the series or their experience with fighting games. The infectious energy, stunning visuals, and engaging combat system combine to create an experience that appeals to both casual and competitive players alike.
The Future of Dragon Ball Fighting Games
While Dragon Ball FighterZ continues to evolve and improve, fans of the franchise have even more to look forward to in the future. Bandai Namco recently announced Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, a new entry in the long-dormant Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series. This game promises to blend the signature flashy combat of its predecessors with expansive 3D arenas and a roster filled with fan-favorite characters, including (unsurprisingly) many variations of Goku.
Although no release date has been announced for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, the anticipation is already building. With the game set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, players can expect a visually stunning and mechanically refined fighting game experience that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the genre.
