Something I find interesting with some of the released shots is what appears to be a beach stage that resembles Dead or Alive 3's stage. It remains to be determined if this is a new stage or if the possibility of retro stage DLC is coming soon. Also, the save file and costume packs from your PlayStation 3 will be transferable to your PS Vita, along with the ability to play opponents who are on either system!
In addition, there are improvements being made to the Fight Display data to include range of the attack (unknown if this is an attack's range or the knock back range) and string delay frames as well.
Full list of currently announced features and the Japanese Collector's Edition as follows:
- Touch-play Mode - This appears to be the First Person mode as announced earlier. Switching the Vita to portrait view will change the play mode to a touch screen mode with two modes of its own. In Mode 1, tap the opponent to attack them in that spot. In Mode 2, touch, flick, and pinch the screen to attack your opponent with more finesse and options. Both methods offer players an instinctive way to fight while seeing their opponent in the highest graphic detail.
- PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita cross-platform expansion - Players will be able to compete with both PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 users. This will certainly help grow the player base on both systems and further shows that both systems will have the same move data and costume support.
- Lesson Mode - By completing tasks on actual fighting methods, you can gain the necessary skills and awareness while enjoying the game!
- BGM customization - You can play your favorite music over the game's default background music
Japanese Edition:
- First Production Run Exclusive Costumes - Tina, Ayane, and Kasumi will have an exclusive cheerleader outfit pack for both the Japanese Regular and Collector's Editions. This will be made available for purchase some time after the release of the game.
- Download code for 12 Paradise Sexy costumes - Unknown if this is the same 12 released for the Dead or Alive 5 Collector's Edition or a brand new set of 12. This set will be made available as paid DLC after launch. I'm thinking a brand new set due to the swimsuits Kasumi wears on the hug pillow and Ayane has on in the picture below.
- Download code for an "Extreme Private Gravure" movie - Unknown what exactly the movie is about, but I wouldn't let your imagination wander too long. This will be viewed in the game, not as a separate cart or DLC.
- "I'm a fighter" custom skin for the PS Vita.
- Beginners guide with gravure. - I have no clue.
- "DEAD OR ALIVE 5" Original Soundtrack vol.2.
