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!

  • Peace

    If you can start the day without caffeine,

    If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

    If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

    If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

    If you can understand when your loved ones
    are too busy to give you any time,

    If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

    If you can conquer tension without medical help,

    If you can relax without alcohol,

    If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

    Then You Are Probably
    The Family Dog!

    And you thought I was going to get all spiritual …

    Handle every Stressful situation like a dog.
    If you can’t eat it or play with it,
    Pee on it and walk away

  • Let us post what we want to post.. Nobody is judging your dry azz statements.. So don’t hate on our spam that is much deserved by Sony.. U dont like it go somewhere else dill hole

  • I don’t understand, if everyone’s already permanently signed out, who’s posting all of these comments?

    maybe the PS Blog is haunted O_O
    lol

  • Keep the friend request coming guys. I’ll add you all. Not sure why it shows half of you as offline with no game status, but it has no time of when you’ve been offline.. Must be part of the maintenance.

  • i have always been a loyal playstation fan, but here lately it doesnt feel as though sony has been very loyal to us playstation/ps plus members im not gonna make fake threats but sony, try showing us half the love and support we show you guys.think about the gamers for once and a little less about how fat your wallets are. at least give us the courtesy of keeping us informed.

  • I want soul sacrifice and I like baconnnnn

  • add me if you want

  • I wanna play Soul Sacrifice!! EU people are already on it… =P Am I going to be all up in arms like the majority of the posts here? No. I’m just a bit sad… Hopefully, it works out by tonight when I get off work.

  • 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…sony

  • Send me some friends request please! Looking for more soul soldiers for ss. I am a west coast player.

  • The good that’s come of this, I’ve seen a few people saying they are just going to spend the time playing demons souls. YES!!! See you all in boletaria

    BUT THIS is insane.Sony is failing way to often in the time department, Updates are a fail. They may as well just not a set update day.

    I love my ps3 and plus beats out any other gaming service….but the failed time issues.

    I’m past anger. Its just depressing

  • THIS IS ITMAN, ITS GAME OVER MAN, JUST, GAME OVER MAN

  • I’m Playing That Injustice, I Don’t Mind The Wait Lol

  • FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. I hope the update its up tonight. I want that discount on GTA IV. But if the update it’s not ready, the 1999 mode on bioshock infinite is waiting me.

  • @5661 My EU buddy tells me its 1200 megs

  • I love the smell of bacon in the morning :)

  • Anyone’s free to add me on PSN.

  • @5670 Thanks very much for the heads up.

  • The demo size is 1229MB

  • We (the gamers), want some bacon. SOOONYYYYYYY

  • I had a dream ss was ready for dl.. Then I woke up and checked my vita.. Like it was a sign from god.. And yeah I got a sign.. A sign that Sony pooped all over my day off!! Friggin freak man

  • Off topic: Is anyone else looking forward to PSO2 on the VIta?

  • you guys are pathetic each and EVERY one of you.. With your demands and so forth. You make me ashamed to be a gamer thanks jerks..

  • Gonna play #mh3u on my 3ds, someone message me when ss is finally available, k? thanks

  • Holy jeezus christ!Some of you are bigger crybabies than actual babies.Get over yourselves.

  • What is pso2

  • @5677 I’ve been waiting since I played PSO on my Dreamcast. Not literally of course, but sign me up for being excited.

  • holy moly sony….

  • Phantasy Star Online 2 It’s a free MMO Coming to Vita this year.

  • May be they are preparing the free stuff for May. EU gonna have The Catherin (OMG!!!!) for free, hitman absolution… I hope we got The Catherine too i only played the demo and it was awesome.

  • You people do know Sony updates the store with the Pacific Time Zone right… it is barley 9:15 so for all you people saying its already 12 well no its not for Sony so chill out the update will come soon, if a one day delay causes you to sell your Vita and PS3 then you aren’t really a supporter of Sony and in the end you will come back because Sony does make the better consoles

  • PSO2 will be amazing

  • @5682 Phantasy Star Online 2

  • @5672 Bacon PWNS ALL! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • Once the demo drops add me.

  • 12:00 this afternoon has come and gone.

  • I was promised a sacrifice and I’m not leaving till I get one

  • A lot of you here are calling us out for complaining on a one day delay. We wouldnt be so upset if this was not a common issue with sony. To add on they have not given us any straight forward answer to why this is taking long and they never have. If you read the top of this page it advertises that it will be out later today. YESTERDAY! At least advertise correctly and say you update on wednesdays since its when they usually do. This is a very unacceptable for a big time company. Some one even said they called support to find out whats going on and they replied to them to go get an xbox “dont quote me on that exact wording”. This is a very packing customer supprot. Anyways i cant believe its still not up. I came to check before i went on my run to see if i can download it while im out bit sadly and not really suprisingly…no.

  • Honestly, a bunch of babies.

  • sony probably has a legit reason for not having it out on time so we really can’t blame the people working there guys.
