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!

  • 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…xxx

  • I also called Sony PSN customer service last night at 11:30 EST and got the most pointless and snobby rep that I’ve spoken to yet. He actually told me that if I was this upset with Sony that I could go get a 360. I’m going to try to call back today and get his supervisor as I did get his name and have this escalated as their customer service reps can’t be talking to their loyal customers like this. Sony’s going to have to seriously pull it together if they expect the PS4 to be any kind of a success.

  • @5600 thanks for the lulz!

  • So does sony hve intill 12.00Pm PT or ET o.O

  • please check the spelling

    perminently=permanently

  • LOL wow a one-day delay and you guys get so butt hurt. Honestly grow up

  • Lol. the omnomnomnomline status ate the demo O.o

  • Stop spamming we the gamers comment, no one at Sony is following what’s been going here at this point. Go make a sandwich, watch the new Nin direct, play some Demon’s Souls.

  • Here it is, 12:00 and the note (that I created) has had no effect on Sony’s sorry PSN, goodbye Sony and good riddance to you. My 3Ds will crush you Ps Vita.

  • on that note it says in the spam post “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”

    so I guess if they update the store at 12:01 no one will download the demo?

  • the customer service told me to get wii-u instead of ps4 or vita

  • Its another hour, has anyone check the store?

  • Cut Sony some slack guys, they give us free online. As I said, complaining wont make it any better.

  • Man it’s 12 I really had no inclination that I’d be waiting this long.. I thought last night by ten pm tops

  • @5609 its not just e day, Sony has not cared about their gamers since day 1, I’m sick of it, I could be training to become a rocket scientist, but now, I play their Ps Vita, its over. 5609

  • @5604 well ps4 still looks better then the 720 more power and no windows 8 seems a clear win to me

  • I don’t fault Sony for issues, but I wish they communicated in situations such as these.

  • @TheHerbinator75 : Hmm…. If anything I’d have your post Copied and pasted all over Sony forums, hah. Sony shouldn’t have such people in Customer Service… and if they do, then Customer Service isn’t something they really believe in.. which means they care little about Customers.

  • So much drama on this forum… its almost fun to read. I swear some of these post think having a demo is part of the constitution… “We the people have the right to bear demos”. I guess is only fair , the same thing happened for the Playstation All Stars , only in reverse.

  • Ok I’ll go play some demon souls…

  • #5612 Yeah im sure sony is hurt that 3 Gamers are “Shuting down their PSN”

  • I wish a 3rd party, who cared about their gamers would step up and make a good game system, better than Sony, revolutionize customer care, you know what, I’ll study up and become the wealthiest man on earth.

  • Oh okay because it’s better to act like you don’t care about the update right?

  • I am just trying to purchase Injustice.

  • And beat dark souls and then, maybe then I’ll be able to play some soul sacrifice.

  • Guys, please add me~~ Thxs =)

  • All that copy and pasting is doing is blocking out the real comments..

    PSN Status is now online so we should get the update shortly, or at least some word from Sony.

    Just hold your horses and calm down a little.

  • wow whatever happen to the cow did somebody ate him? thank god no more moooooing lol

  • Anyone check the sony twitter? they saythey got Hack again o.O

  • I care about the update, but if theres a problem. they wont release it. Would you want a super buggy PSN?
