Dead or Alive 5: Plus announced for PSVita

Whoa- March?! That is awesome news if Stateside as well. Really looking forward to playing this on the go- Dimensions was really awesome too. But this is even better!
 
^DOA5 launched simultaneously so no reason this won't have a Western launch close to Japan.


I don't want new VF guests, just gimme more DOA characters from previous games and new stages.
 
Yeah, licensing contracts usually cover the distribution platform, so if the Vita wasn't in the original plans, including the VF trio likely means TK forking over some more cash.

This should only sligthly mess with story mode (I wonder if Akira and Sarah's scenes will simply be removed or actually replaced with something new...), but it really makes me wonder about extras...

Did they really pay? Sega distributed the game in Europe and that's why they were in there in the first place. If they're not in, I hope they get replaced.

Keep them and add the old characters! Also, give us Rio!

Rio?

Probably too old a reference to be funny anymore but suggested OT:

Dead Or Alive 5 Plus |OT| If Your Port Is Imperfect, Life Is Difficult

Aha! No love for her? She must be tired of beaches and blackjack! Let her fight!

I never played Paradise, but from what I saw, her design was really out of place. She was cartoony even by the old DOA standards.

I'd much sooner see Momiji.

they showed off DOA5 running on Vita.

Hard to tell because of shitty video quality but it seemed it was really good.

It was still development version so they said it was only near 60fps.

Considering how good the console version look, I have hope that vita version will turn out impressive as well. Not on par with console quality of course, but very good looking one with solid 60fps will be great.

Out of that video, I gotta say it's a very good loading speed, I expected something around 10-15 seconds between the character screen and the fight, but it was about 5 segs tops?

I will definitely keep an eye on this version.

I just hope that saves can be exchanged with the PS3 version. I really don't want to unlock Lisa's swimsuit again. Hoping for cross compatible dlc too.

Hope we can get better feed in the future. I think it might look alright? I mean, I know it's DOA5 and that there were bodies fighting each other, but beyond that....

Ugh, don't remind me.

EDIT: Just noticed, there's only 22 character slots. DOA 5 has 24 characters.

Three of the twenty-four are Virtua Fighter characters. Remove those, you get twenty-one. Add Toro or some Sony exclusive and you get twenty-two.

Still want cross-play/cross-buy, Tecmo. :|

Edit: And the menus are completely unchanged it seems. So really it begs the question of why Sega wouldn't let them port the Virtua Fighter characters in this port as well?

So them removing the VF characters and throwing in Leon (Bayman reskin for maximum laziness), Raidou, Tengu, Genra, or Rachel or Momiji from Ninja Gaiden seems likely.

No cross-play is gonna suck. :(

That's completely possible as well. But I'm sure Sony probably would have a mandate or a deal with getting an exclusive in on this port. *shrug*
 
Smaller character roster is disappointing. Twenty-two slots, and one likely reserved for random, probably means no added characters.

Dead or Alive 5 (-) is probably a more fitting name, nonetheless it´s the only announced "PSV" game I have any interest in.

I don't care about the VF characters. Less to unlock. :p

I'd prefer they were fit in to the DoA system more rather than just being added piecemeal with no consideration for how different DoA plays. Nice gesture and homage, but poor execution.
 
I thought he console version only showed 22 slots until you started unlocking additional characters, didn't it?
Looks like you're right. Hmm, then all our fears might be unfounded (so far).

(Gen-Fu and Pai are unlockables, and their boxes don't show up until you unlock them, so 22 looks about right for a New Game.)

The game would definitely be better off without Akira and co. If only so I don't ever have to hear their low bit rate voices again.

Nah that's what it looks like until you unlock more characters. They've been hinting at Leon for a while.

Btw guys Sony doesn't allow for a late port on their hardware unless you add in new content. So there's definitely going to be bonus character or stage.

So it looks like the character models have carried across, but unsurprisingly, the shaders haven't. It seems insane that I'm a bit disappointed, because it still looks amazing for a handheld game, but Kasumi looks so bizarre without the fancy skin shader from the console version.

They already announced new content (first-person mode). It's not like UMvC3 added any new characters or stages, and its added content was just as insubstantial as what they've announced for this so far.

I'm expecting more than what we've heard so far, because NGS2+ is still having new characters and modes announced for it, and that was revealed long before this game. Just not expecting any new stages, though.

Yeah, the eyes also have a more "painted on" look like the pre-DOA5 games. Not that I mind - I'm still a fan of that art style.

No it's not. It's just got that crappy tag mode, which is just a cheap compensation for the shat AI in mission mode from NGS2.

I predict 640X480@60fps with character model detail at 80% of the ps3 version and background detail at about 30% the detail, as well I'm going to guess the texture /special effect quality will be about half as good. Wouldn't surprise me much if some of the stages don't make it in , replaced by other similar levels because of hardware limitations.

Should still be an impressive looking game ... still annoyed they aren't making original content instead though.

The game was announced in September around TGS, but we didn't know about Ninja Race until November and Hero Mode until December.

So there's still hope.

After what NGS+ 'added', I have zero hope of any new content. All they did was remove some costumes, add in the NG3 costume and Hero Mode (Which I never used, obviously), and called it a day. :(
