Dead or Alive 5 Plus announced for Vita

Dead or Alive 5 is coming to the PlayStation Vita. Team Ninja head Yosuke Hayashi revealed that a port of the fighter is heading to Sony’s portable “at an early stage of next year.”

Hayashi said that Dead or Alive 5 Plus, as it is known, will allow players to “brush up their skills anywhere they want.” More information will be shared at “a later stage”, but Hayashi promised that the game will offer “features which are appealing as the DOA5 Plus name reads”.

hmm interesting.

I guess Sigma 3 will follow after this and Sigma 2 (for psv)

With the love Tecmo are giving the PSV (at least with ports anyways) I wonder if we will see a rep of some sort in PSBR soon.

This morning, Tecmo Koei released screenshots from the PlayStation Vita version of the game, and they look alarmingly similar to the console versions.

In terms of Vita-specific features, Tecmo Koei mention you can “interact directly with the characters using the Vita’s touch screens,” and also mention that the game will take advantage of the Vita’s ad-hoc and infrastructure network features.

Interact with characters using touch screen? Making bewbies bounce

Some more info:
Team Ninja's Dead or Alive 5 Plus for PS Vita, the portable version will have new Touch Play Mode, and it is possible to play the game in new first person mode; and you can touch, flick and pinch the screen to attack the opponents. There will be another Training Plus Mode and Detailed Frame Data. This game is also Cross Play Compatible, you can play against players from the PS3 version.

Dead or Alive 5 has a bunch of costumes already and the good news is all of that PS3 downloadable content will work with the Vita version, Dead or Alive 5. Famitsu confirmed Dead or Alive 5 Plus supports the cross goods feature which makes content purchased from the PlayStation Store compatible with both systems.

That means the Paradise costumes included with first print copies of Dead or Alive 5 Plus will be enabled on the PS3 version and you can use all of those Santa costumes on the Vita.

Dead or Alive 5 Plus also supports cross saves so you can continue the story mode on the go and cross play. You can challenge PS3 gamers with the Vita version. An icon will let online players know if you’re playing on a console (controller icon) or Vita (Vita icon).

Dead or Alive 5 also has a beach stage called Zack Island.

TEAM NINJA SPELLS OUT NEW DETAILS OF DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS CROSS-DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY

Team NINJA, which has previously announced that its upcoming DEAD OR ALIVE® 5 PLUS for PlayStation®Vita will feature cross-platform matches and shared saved data and in-game purchases, today revealed this process and functionality in more detail. As the game’s March 22nd launch approaches, the developer is finalizing its strategy to give players a seamless Dead or Alive 5 experience across console and handheld platforms while delivering maximum value.

CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY
§ Hardware icons will appear next to player names in cross-platform battles to indicate whether they are playing on PS3 or PS Vita
§ Cross-platform battles will run at 60fps on both platforms so there will be no lag or slowdown even when playing on different devices
§ All characters that have been unlocked on PS3 can be used on PS Vita—and vice versa
§ In-game rankings will show whether players are on PS Vita or PS3

CROSS-PLATFORM DLC
§ Using the PS Store, DLC purchases will be shared across both platforms so players can pay a single price while getting dual platform use
§ Over 100 costumes have been delivered to date as DLC, and the cross-platform transfer allows players to preserve their collection while getting new gameplay options with DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS on PS Vita

CROSS-PLATFORM GAME SAVES AND UNLOCKED CONTENT
§ Saved games on PS Vita or PS3 can be used on the other platform, so gamers can play on the go and then bring their progress back to the console (or vice versa)
§ All unlocked content on one platform is available on the other platform; for instance, Tina’s Legend Swimsuit earned by completing Legend mode in Arcade mode without continuing will be available on PS3 if earned on PS Vita
§ “Any new stages for DOA5 on PS3, will also be available on DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS for PS Vita”

DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS brings the signature DOA fighting style to PS Vita with all-new system-specific features complementing the stunning graphics and new martial arts techniques of the recent console release. Players will take on the roles of the cast of DOA fighters in an action-packed brawler set in visually striking international locales, with each stage featuring interactive backdrops. With a sensual yet realistic style, characters are rendered in incredibly lifelike detail.

DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS is developed by Team NINJA and published by Tecmo Koei. More details will be shared leading up to the game’s March 22nd release
