DanceDanceRevolution (PS3) was announced at E3 2009. What was shown was drastically different from the final game. For one, the songlist was based on [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY3|DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3]] while the interface resembled more of [[AC DDR X2|DanceDanceRevolution X2]], and had dance stages and characters in it. The game also originally featured Octo-Mode as a full-fledged gameplay style (complete with full difficulties for all songs) instead of appearing only on CHALLENGE charts for a few select songs. Furthermore, the game was also to feature custom themes, Edit Mode and DLC from all the mainline arcade games up to this point (along with [[CS DDR S|DanceDanceRevolution S]]). While the DLC made it into the finished product, the song packs were based on the US PS2 releases instead (and even the DLC was incomplete as evidence would show below).
