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!

  • Well guys, we might actually break the comment record of the PSN outage if this keeps up.

  • God eater 2 lol

  • I think these vague blog posts do a good job of bringing the community together. Yeah, yeah, we’re complaining a lot but you should have been here last night. It was so much fun trying to break 4000. Meant some good people, played a really laaagy game of DOA +. Now I’m looking forward to seeing if we break 7000

  • By the way folks,when it hits the fan add two hours or more because the network will be so flooded you cant get it.

  • are we really in 6000 route?, damn sony, inform something, I’m never upset by these things, but I cancelled my physical copy of Injustice to get it digital……….

  • Added a lot of people here. I got a lot of Vita users on my PSN now lol. I just hope Sony updates to where I can see them online/what game they’re playing.

  • And if you knew me .. So what.. Wow people are so childish.. You only speak like that because you believe it’s politically correct.. And that’s why u are a sheep being led

  • well since we are still waiting, add me as a friend so we can start playing once the demo drops

  • Morgan Haro ‏@MorganHaro 2m
    Working with the teams to get an info update as soon as possible re: PS Store. Follow @PlayStation as your best source for news on this.

    Which is the exact same post from 12hrs ago and no update was provided between…

  • lame sauce. i’ve been playing the crap out of the japanese demo. its an awesome game and i hear the us demo comes out April 16th. it is now the 17th and still no demo. what is going on!?!?!? LOUD NOISES!!!!

  • Wow… This topics only been up for a day, and already almost 6000 Comments. Amazing!

  • This better be the most fantastic update ever, there better be a firmware update also, that was created yesterday and posted today to explain maintenance.

  • @Nitto1000 we’re already in the top 5, (top 4 I think). But to get first place we need to get over 20,000. We kept a tally last night.

  • lol cant wait i like gods eater vhalhalla knights soul sacrifice i think there was another that i was going for cant remember

  • Sony is rather working really hard to solve the problem or doing a board meeting to come up with some excuse lol.

  • wow 6k soon

  • @squirrelchaos: let me tell you something. I actually work in IT, my team releases software and its versions and or patches. The way it works is like that: we have a build that’s applied, and it’s tested over and over before the release. Built-in we have error catching mechanism. So just in case something happens we know what happened, where the error is and the fix is usually a couple of hours max. MAX. Unless… you don’t have error catching mechanism built-in then you are in deep trouble. If Sony released new version of their store, applied patches to it later, and have been doing store updates for weeks without much problem, I see no reason why the update would even fail on them. And even if it did, they should have the error displayed right in front of them, fix it as critical issue and release the update.
    And to all those we whine here like we are all upset over nothing because there are bigger problems in the world and we just have entitlement issues, get over yourselves. I used to live in really bad place, but now I’m good, and you know what? I do my stuff through charities so get off. I paid for the system and it’s supposed to work. As a customer, paying customer, I have a right to complain.

  • Any way still no update huh.. ??

  • almost 6000

  • @5910 is continuing his crusade of setting an entire generation backwards

  • Welcome to what’s in store for the next gen ‘always connected’ consoles!

  • where is this damn update! cmon now!

  • Well guess the bright side to this is thatblast week’s sales are a day longer, pick up that amazing Borderlands deal people!

  • Still no update… I wonder whats going on?

  • here my contribution to 6000 taking nap will try again at that time hope its out by then will definitely enjoy sacrificing with the rest of the world here’s to hoping guys see ya soon.

  • You know what sounds really good right now? Pulling my spine out and killing something with it!

  • 6000 will be mine

  • I’m just gonna go and play the Japanese version while waiting.

  • Anyone else skip comments more than 2 lines? Or is it just me

  • I’m selling all my console and going full PC.

    Always online? My PC does the best job at it

  • @5920 Exactly !!!

    i just don’t get what they don’t have a “patch update” that just replaces the prices and pages and all, instead of changing everything part by part every week, at random times. I mean come on, it’s the worst setup ever for sales and price changes.

  • good thing i’m at work, couldn’t download it yet anyway!

  • @5930
    lol

  • It’s really late to where I am right now… will hopefully wake up to wonderful news. XD Goodnight people.

  • They still haven’t updated? Good god I thought when I woke up everything would be fine. Somebody pressed the red button didn’t they.

  • @5905 Well if the first didn’t sell so well and NB doesn’t want to deal with localizing it then it won’t come. A lot of their games stay in Japan.

  • Wow. I’m amazed. I figured the general gaming community had fallen to an all time low. This board is my proof. Regardless of how grammatically horrific xxenvydizxx’s “We the gamers…” spam is, I think I’m going to subscribe to the general theory embedded in it’s tangled vocabulary. I’m too old for insensitive people with a mentality of a feral child… aka the general gaming community.

  • Im about to unleash a raging demon on sony lol

  • Too bad the DLC for Borderlands 2 was a pitiful sale. If it was like 40 – 50% off, I would be thanking them. Nah I’ll get that season pass later lol.

  • Does God Eater 2 have a release date? Anybody?

  • what you say?!

  • almost there

  • I rushed out bought the vita.. Got a memory card and game.. Payed almost a stack.. So when they promise me something .. I believe I deserve it.. Nobody told them to open their big mouths about an update .. Most of us would be doing something else right now.. Like our women.. Damn u Sony
