Soul Sacrifice delayed until next year, still looks great
Keiji Inafune took to the stage during Sony's press conference ahead of Tokyo Game Show to talk about progress on the upcoming PS Vita title, Soul Sacrifice. Showing the above trailer, Inafune-san briefly talked up the game's four-person multiplayer and cross play features before dropping the bad news: It won't see release until Spring of 2013. Inafune-san was eager to clarify that this was not a result of difficulty in developing the title, so much as wishing to have a little more time to make it the best possible game, which Sony Computer Entertainment has been gracious enough to allow. We're going to get to see it this week, however, as Soul Sacrifice will be playable on the show floor at TGS. We'll make sure to let you know how that turns out, but I have a suspicion that it's going to be pretty awesome. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Holy shit, that looks awesome! It's l8r the angel/demon aesthetic from Bayonetta mixed with some wizardry. I fucking must have this! The visual style reminded me of Claymore/Gantz/Berserk. I hope the gameplay is strong enough as they promised in the story. With the vita desperately in need of quality, attention grabbing titles, it seems a little concerning that Sony would allow a delay for a bit of spit shine... as it were. Hope this turns out well and my fears are unfounded. I'm really waiting for either handheld to step up their turtle pace and really give me a reason to want one or the other. 9:30 PM on 05.21.2013 A bear will stare at you in 3DHow is the Xbox One going to sell in Japan?
