ZERO will not have rollback netcode, producer says\u00a0"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Bandai Namco Entertainment\u2019s 3D arena fighter <strong>Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO<\/strong> has been announced for October 11, 2024. The fourth installment of the Budokai Tenkaichi series comes after a 17-year gap, building\u00a0upon its predecessors\u2019 gameplay with an impressive roster of playable characters. One of the points many have been curious about is whether\u00a0<strong>Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0will use rollback netcode. In a recent interview, the title\u2019s main producer Jun Furutani has confirmed that the game will not be implementing rollback.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By predicting players\u2019 input, rollback netcodes offset lag and allow smoother interaction during online matches. That&#8217;s why, over the years, rollback has risen in demand when it comes to online fighter games, and its presence has even become a deal-breaker for some players when deciding what games to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO \u2013 Release Date Announcement Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N8Zm___c4B8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO will include ranked online matches as well as casual online matches, but will not be using rollback netcode, as recently clarified by Furutani in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202406\/7936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>. Rollback is most often associated with 2D fighters, so it&#8217;s possible that as a 3D arena fighter, Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO\u2019s mechanics are not that\u00a0compatible with it. Furutani also stressed that ZERO differs from titles such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, which is \u201cesports oriented and highly competitive.\u201d By contrast, ZERO seems to put a bigger emphasis on its RPG elements and staying true to Dragon Ball\u2019s story and setting. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of this is how Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO does not balance out characters to be perfectly fair, but rather prioritizes depicting strong characters as strong. While commenting that there are no current plans to balance out characters to be on equal terms, Furutani says that certain adjustments may be considered in the future based on user feedback.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.bandainamcoent.eu\/dragon-ball\/dragon-ball-sparking-zero\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dragon Ball Sparking!
