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!

  • pplz add so when this god damn demo comes out we can do some co-op play

  • @5784 They show online but at the bottom of the list and it won’t sure what they’re doing(what game they are playing, etc).

  • hey VoidWyvern the demo size is 1.28 gb

  • one day I hope for a Vita version of:

    ~ overlord
    ~ Mirrors Edge
    ~ Viewtiful Joe
    ~ Maximo

  • if i could read Japanese I would do it. I have JPN account though. Fire Pro wrestling!

  • 12 hours later… you suck sony

  • @5787 how did that demand spamming work out for you? lol idiot.

  • @5776: The patch is already out for Ultimate.

  • Squire24 Shutup, entitlement my ass, I bought Sony’s sorry system, I deserve to be given what I paid for, otherwise whats the point? That’s bad business, not entitlement, read up.

  • I’ve gone through all 5 stages of grieving, now I’ve accepted that the PSN will never be updated again

  • @5768 Marvel Heroes is designed by David Brevik who designed the Diablo 1 and 2. So not much of a ripoff, but a clone lol

  • I think this is a marketing coup, what sony is doing is making us “sacrifice” our time , so when the demo comes everyone will be mad with “Soul Sacrifice” fever! Well played Sony , well played

  • add me for ss play
    about to play god eater burst

  • just show how big the interest for soul sacrifice really is…..hope their blunder wont kill this momentum…….

  • Is it. Crap, I need to make a stop after work then ha ha. Was waiting so I could play with my UK Brethren.

  • Jump off my D

  • Your spam lacks constructive criticism and any empathy for the company and the people in it. You don’t know why they are having issues getting the update out due to complexity of coding anything could of gone wrong. You make threats instead of requests. You bring forth nothing constructive to help them support their system yet state they are not when they obviously are as much as their company will let them(as sony is not just a video game company). The Vita will take time to build up just like the PS3 people are scared to support a system in the beginning if it doesn’t have a huge fan base and why would they when the PSP didn’t do well already due to being so easily hackable. The logging off thing doesn’t even make sense they don’t make or lose anything by you just sitting online(well besides server band which) so logging off will actually make servers run a little smoother.

    So how about we relax and stop worrying about a petty first world problem when millions of people don’t even get to eat everyday. Pop in a movie, play a different game, call a friend, go help someone, anything just stop sitting on a blog as it does nothing for your argument because your still here on THEIR blog therefore you still support them.

  • Still nothing eh? interesting…..You really do have to wonder how its only Sony that has these problems and everyone else is always on time with no problems. I really hope Sony gets it together for ps4, these kinds of things are ridiculous, Im a hig PS supporter, but I cant justify these kinds of things when the competition doesn’t have em.

  • “UPDATE: Today’s PS Store publish will be delayed due to ongoing PSN maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience – stay tuned for updates”

    Thats not really helping at all gives us an estimate a when the store will be updated telling us to stay tuned is not really helping since its what we’ve been doing since yesterday been over 19 hours and update still not happening what is this.

  • @sic2291 Why would Sony even do that if they support cross-play so much for their PS3/Vita? And it’s still using the PSN network overall.. Wow Sony.

  • ;_; you were the chosen one…

  • You know what, I’m gonna just take a nap, this stuff got me crazy, (not really I just want to take a nap :P)

  • I’ve been trying to platinum spec ops while I’m waiting… dying over and over again on FUBAR difficulty isn’t helping lol

  • People are blown to bits in Boston, but you’re more upset about the late store update. ~shudders~

  • Cypher shut the hellup.. Don’t act like ur better than any of us.. Ur salty butt been checking the update religiously

  • 6000 ftw

  • I’m off to play Blur, one of the funnest racers in video game land :)

  • Yeah yeah.. Boo hop Boston.. Now update my damn vita

  • Yeah I know Brevik is on it. It’s good. Kind of hectic sometimes when 4 hulks 3 Iron mans, and a deadpool are fighting Venom lol. I like it though. Deadpool is a great all around character. Range, good melee, good AoE and he heals fast so rarely need potions. Something tells me the healing factors are going to become nerfed though.

  • No, don’t even play like that 5821, that boston event was a tragedy, don’t nulliffy it by comparing it to games…thats just not cool…

  • Everyone should just look for the store update on wednesday night instead. That way you’re ALMOST certain to not be deceived ;-P

  • Sony Computer Entertainment of America, you are the lamest of all the Sonys in the world. Even Sony in the EU had this demo out hours ago!

  • Wow… this is really starting to become a trolling topic.

  • 6000 is mine!

  • Wow, 6000 comments coming? I’m actually impressed. ^_^

  • Add me for ss if you guys want and is anyone getting god eater 2 when it hits stateside

  • How many of you really care about Boston??.. Keep it real

  • Look… If any of you are friends with xxenvydizxx, I’d suggest defriending him immediately. That very off color “Boohoo” comment about Boston should earn you your death. Disgusting maggot.

  • @capowell18 hahahaha “starting to?”

  • I’m not the only one who only cared when I heard it and that’s it.. I’m just honest enough to say it

  • “Everyone should just look for the store update on wednesday night instead. That way you’re ALMOST certain to not be deceived ;-P”

    you are giving SCEA waaaaayyyy too much credit.

  • あ~だめだ。
    アメリカのソニ、何してるの?
    早くやりたいよ。

  • Samurai & Dragons is a free MMO on Vita. Supposed to be a pretty good one too. English version is available on Asia PSN (I suppose that’s one thing we can be thankful of on the Asia store).

  • @vincepsx Thursdays maybe?

  • Best to ignore insensitive kids like him, he’s been spewing bs all over this blog

  • Its not about “Why” Sony is having issues its the fact they wont talk to us, we need to be informed on stuff to make rational decisions, otherwise decisions made are irrational, such as the ones on this thread.

  • man i think this is the longest ive ever waited for a god damn demo to come out

  • we almost reach our target
