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:
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!
With so many of us wanting to download the demo right away we are probably going to make each other lag on downloading because of so many people trying to get it >_<
@1234: BLASPHEMY!!! You NEVER delete Persona 4!
Ahh Sony, this is the virtual version of torches and pitchforks, you might wanna hurry up.. before these kind folks set the servers on fire.
well, one plus to this delay is that I’ve made a bunch of new psn friends that I can’t wait to play SS with :)
I cant imagine how long its gonna take to actually release this beast of a game. I mean if it takes this long for a demo. Maybe ill have to sacrifice digital for retail :/
i will sacrifice a table to get this demo (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
1244 – The longest I remember was at 3am the next morning (EST)
anybody noticed that with the new firmware cant play and check the web.
I’ve been waiting for this demo since last night, arrgh! People who want to party up feel free to add me, no kids though please! (No offense just don’t wanna hear loud screaming in my ear buds).
Add me! :)
the sony staff really need to work on updates happening at the same time every week, pick a time anytime, instead of sometime today
Anyone serious and looking to form up a 4 group coop add me!
Add me guys need moar for Soul Sacrifice!!!
Dear Sony……You’re breaking my heart T_T
Anticipation is killing me need the demo now!! Add me if you want.
Everyone who’s complaining should just fool themselves into believing that the update is in fact on Wednesday. This way, you can always expect to get the content you want when you wake up every Wednesday morning.
1261 – New firmware lets me check the web. I’d be using my Vita now if I wasn’t transferring some games off.
Where’s Soul Sacrifice demo? You can sacrifice ALL other content for today update, but GIVE US THIS DEMO NOW!
@1261: I was playing Disgaea 3 and browsing the web with the new update just fine today.
Maybe one day we’ll be able to play, add me if you please.
Harutoa, funny i was just reading that same exact post on playstation forum just now. must of been you…
@1245
My thoughts exactly
Sony need to sacrifice themselves for the delay…
What will come first 2000 comments or demo?
JESUS, this is ridiculous, Sony, where’s the freaking demo!?
I’ve learned its alot easier to just download what I want the day after said update. All their updates are like this. I was really hoping they’d pull through for me today though….sadly i was mistaken.
what starts with “L” and ends with “AME BALLS”
that’s whats going on here I tell ya!
Why doesn’t Sony make these updates automatic at a certain time, anyway? The competitors do it that way… theres no reason why it should be some random time each week.
Good thing I didn’t want to play this at lunch :)… oh wait I did… thanks Sony gah!!!!
We were like torture souls in this comments./ Sony, make haste./ I’m thirsty for their souls.
It’s 9:20 a.m April 17th here, i’m so tired of this ****, still no sign of it :(
FYI 9:30PM IS NOT THE AFTERNOON!
Grace Chen, will you marry me? Hopefully I’ll get an answer by 2025. :/
@Harutoa
I actually already do that because of the big updates don’t come till sometime Wednesday morning for me usually xD haha but I am very much enjoying going through the comments and reading them haha
I’ve been clicking the refresh button on the vita’s PSN store app for 2 hours now! WERE BEATH MY SOULS TO SACRIFICE SONY!?!?!? WERE!?!?!?
im just gonna watch ss gameplay on youtube and pretend im playing it
I was playing Guacamelee and check this forum and appear a message: This cant be display close the app (Guacamelee).
PainofSorrow, Naa someone else stated it, just passing the word lol.

WHO IS THIS ” I ” PERSON?! WHO THE ONE WHO POSTED THIS CRAP?!
Ugh, 10:25 pm here, still no demo whats taking so long? They said it would be released this afternoon. it’s almost midnight! >_<
ITC: People who need to get a life, instead of spending all their time in front of a system/screen waiting for an update to go live.
Live some life, do something else and come back later. Sheesh.
Better yet, ignore Tuesday and just visit the store Wednesday to avoid waiting at all for the update.
Nah… logic. Can’t have that. Better to whine every single week like clockwork. I keep getting burned, but hey, maybe if I keep shoving my face on the stove top it’ll eventually stop burning me. :D
Downloading now!
I’ve been waiting since 0:00 EST and it is now 22:25 EST. Also, add me for SS!
So how about that Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon?
THE WRONG KID DIED!!!
