Soul Sacrifice: Demo Out Today, Saves Transfer to Full Game

Soul Sacrifice on PS Vita

I hope you’re ready for Soul Sacrifice — the demo will be available this afternoon on PSN!

Your first reaction to the demo might be, “Holy moly, this is a LOT of demo!” …And you’d be right! The entire first chapter of the full game is included, all of which is playable with up to three other friends via online or ad-hoc multiplayer. Inafune-san made it a special point for the demo to be quite substantial, as you can read in his comments below:

“The number one reason for the Soul Sacrifice demo to have a lot of content was to show the users the full attraction of Soul Sacrifice. We knew that cutting out a small section of the game and saying, ‘Isn’t this part fun?’ would not show the users the full potential of the game. We figured that it wouldn’t make sense if the users could not have the ‘I want to play more’ feeling.

“So, we decided we want to provide, ‘at the very least,’ this amount of the game for the users. That is why, if you compare it to a standard demo, this became such a substantial piece. But we are confident that this will not become something negative where the users will feel like, ‘We played enough.’ After we released the demo version in Japan we received many voices, saying ‘[I] want to play more’ and ‘I want to get more hooked on this game.’ That is why we believe making this demo with this amount of volume and detail was a success.”

Soul Sacrifice is a long adventure, with dozens of hours of gameplay. The demo is not only a great way to sample the full experience, but also to let you get a head start on that adventure before the game releases. To that end — this part is important, pay attention! — the save data will carry over to the full game! Not only that, if you do carry over demo save data to the full game, you will receive an exclusive bonus item: “Spirits’ Heart”! It summons a powerful stone golem that will fight for you!

Trying the demo and carrying over your save data is the ONLY way to get “Spirits’ Heart,” so why not give it a shot if you’re already interested in the game?

The Soul Sacrifice demo offers a single player mode AND a multi-player mode. Multi-player can be played via both ad-hoc and online, but please be aware that multi-player and all online features for the demo will be terminated and will no longer be available on April 30th, 2013. After this date, you will still be able to play the demo offline and ad-hoc. Of course, that’s not a problem, since you’ll all be picking up the full game when it launches on April 30th, right? *wink*

Don’t forget to pre-order! Not only do you get three exclusive Magic Offerings and two exclusive costumes, but you’ll also get the Japanese voice-over audio pack for free!

  • Sony’s online infrastructure is powered by mice running in wheels :)

  • @5440 There’s no shame in owning both though. I own both, but I’m not really excited for this new Zelda.

  • come on nintendo mention a new smash bros for wii u so i can sell my hopeless and broken promises vita

  • “Today is not a day to updates. Stay tuned, more informations on the next week”!

  • What are they waiting for? 10000 comments?

  • Its better wait for the new Pokemon x and y comming in octuber than psn store getting back.

  • This game better be freaking epic I mean it better come out of my vita and just pull me in

  • Yeah~ page 109 and almost 5.5K comment. This is gonna get into the official wikipedia.org page of PSN and Soul Sacrifice page.

    Annnnd…still no update. Well, gotta work then wait for nothing.
    Funny how the right hand side for posting comment says, “BUT DON’T BE A JERK.” in all caps.
    LoL.

  • @5450 I wonder who’d buy it then if it’s a “hopeless and broken promises vita”

  • Wonderwoman or Catwoman?

  • Once Soul Sacrifice drops I will be on it from day one. Add me.

  • Woke up this morning to a near heart attack that the demo wasn’t out, came on here feeling relieved that I’m not the only one upset about this. Always stuck playing the waiting game…le sigh.

  • Ryu or Ken?

  • Terminator or Robocop?

  • @5455 It’s like they’re tempting us.

  • LMAO @ “Omline”. What does THAT mean? We’re “kinda, sorta” online? #PSNis OMLINE :)

  • not much interested in the game this thread was about but i do hope they provide a more satisfying reason for the delayed Store update… though my life doesnt depend on it, i have nothing else to do on this rainy wednesday…

  • So many trolls on here… wow..

  • Add me on PSN for some hot Soul Sacrifice action once the demo and later the game comes out!

  • nah they will just say sorry after everything and no real explaining but, We couldnt deal with this as we expect.

  • where do you see omline???

  • I’m sexy and I know it!

  • Thankfully sony isn’t in the MMO business

  • Ok Guys look, just copy and paste this…

    We (the gamers), want the Playstation Store updated by 12:00 this afternoon, Sony you have let us down 1 too many times in the past and we bought your Ps Vita out off the hope that you would support your system, which you have not to the tiniest degree, you have loaded the system with blockades and limits, and have only given us gimmicks, we want results, otherwise, if after 12:00 this afternoon if the Playstation Store is not updated and you do not give us answers, all the players will log off PSN, perminently.
    These are our demands…

    Update the Playstation Store
    Give us answers to our questions, stop beating around the bush
    Persuade devs to support the Ps Vita, if that means pay them to develope software for it, then so-be-it
    Remove the stupid restrictions from the Ps Vita, you have to see this is stopping people from buying the system
    Support your Gamers, you never have, and if you don’t this time, you WILL pay for it…

  • u guys still here?

  • MY POWER IS UNEQUAL

  • @5470 but it seems like it

  • Any updates yet for when we can download the demo?

  • Anyone here a Sneakerhead?

  • jajaja Trolls , Trolls everywhere, but have reason, Europe have the Demo and #$% PSNUSA continue in maintenance. Patetic SONY….

  • What the?? the playstation support page is telling me that the latest PS vita update is 2.06…

  • Nintendo America just had a direct that showed a bunch of great games for their handheld fans. What do Sony America handheld fans get? A broken store, broken promises, and lack of any support what so ever for the platform they love. SCEA/SNE there is reason why the Vita isn’t selling and the PS3 never became #1 in the states. Your incompetency and bureaucracy is going to end your console business in a flurry. I feel sorry for the publishers like the Dragon Fantasy Book developers that have to make deals with SCEA, only to be pushed off to the side because you don’t have a stable worldwide Store System like the rest of the people in the world.

    P.S. Somebody needs to fix your 3rd party team as well cause they’re obviously not doing their job with all that exclusive Japanese 3DS support, loss of MGS exclusivity, loss of Final Fantasy exclusivity, loss of Monster Hunter, and loss of Atlus support. Also, stop trying to be 360 like your silly American subsidiaries think, it wasn’t the west that made you popular Sony.

  • I like bacon

  • It seems like it has already on in Europe

  • I wouldn’t call it trolling. If Sony would give an update the comments would slow down, if they update the store the comments will stop.

  • I like bacon too… YUMMY!

  • @ whiskey_14

    Jeje

  • SCEA is a mess… How do they ever expect to successfully launch a cloud-based gaming service if they can’t even manage to maintain their existing network without the risk of alienating loyal consumers.

  • IF you have pre-ordered the game…

  • PSN, more like POS.

  • Maybe its in the store and they misspelled it. I mean if they can’t spell Online
