Here's every single DOA demo I've been able to acquire - please let me know if I've missed any. (I couldn't find record of any DOA1 demos, were there any??)
The reason? Beta leftovers. Demos are typically built on old trade event demos and often have some leftovers. The DOA2 demo has three different audio tracks and a huge bundle of changed text plus probably more. The DOA2U demo still uses DOA3 character icons (except Bayman who has his DOA1 icon and has Leon's theme instead of DOA3's Knifepoint) and they face different directions for some reason and it might just be me but the freestepping feels REALLY loose (I was actually freestepping strings in the 2U demo?? wtf??). The DOA4 demo has the beta character select icons and layout and an unpacked file structure (in the final, everything in packed into various AFS containers) but the individual character files have been updated to their 4.1 counterparts (the demo released half a year after the game came out). Anyway, ya'll might be better equipped to find any differences or you might just be curious so I'm sharing in one place for convenience's sake.
