<p>Team Ninja has released details concerning the cross-device functionality of upcoming fighting game <em>Dead or Alive 5 Plus</em> for PlayStation Vita.</p>
<p><em>Dead or Alive 5</em> , the latest game in the long-running one-on-one fighting series, was released on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in September 2012, but the PS Vita version attempts to live up to the &#8220;Plus&#8221; of its name by including exclusive content such as touchscreen-based moves and an optional first-person view.</p>
<p>A major feature of<em> Dead or Alive 5 Plus</em> is the game&#8217;s cross-device functionality, and a press release has stated that Team Ninja is</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;finalizing its strategy to give players a seamless Dead or Alive 5 experience across console and handheld platforms while delivering maximum value.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The press release goes on to list the following details concerning the cross-device functionality of <em>Dead or Alive 5 Plus</em>:</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>CROSS-PLATFORM PLAY</strong><br />
* Hardware icons will appear next to player names in cross-platform battles to indicate whether they are playing on PS3 or PS Vita.<br />
* Cross-platform battles will run at 60fps on both platforms so there will be no lag or slowdown even when playing on different devices.<br />
* All characters that have been unlocked on PS3 can be used on PS Vita—and vice versa.<br />
* In-game rankings will show whether players are on PS Vita or PS3.</p>
<p><strong>CROSS-PLATFORM DLC</strong><br />
* Using the PS Store, DLC purchases will be shared across both platforms so players can pay a single price while getting dual platform use.<br />
* 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.</p>
<p><strong>CROSS-PLATFORM GAME SAVES AND UNLOCKED CONTENT</strong><br />
* 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).<br />
* 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.<br />
* Any new stages for DOA5 on PS3, will also be available on DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS for PS Vita.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><em>Dead or Alive 5 Plus</em> is scheduled for release on PS Vita on March 22nd.</p>
