FolksSoul demo coming this Friday

via PS3 Fanboy


Make a Japanese PSN account. Now. If you haven't, you're going to continue missing out on all the free demos the Japanese gamer crowd get. It's not tough -- sign up for one in your own language, make notes about what information goes on each page, then make a Japanese one. Why are we insisting you do this? So you can test drive FolksSoul along with us this Friday when a demo hits the Japanese PlsyStation Store.

Also known as Folklore in the US, the game had kept a very low key until Gamer's Day, when a new trailer and multiple screens made an entrance and blew a lot of people away. Sure, it's absolutely a Japanese game -- lacking muscular men with big shiny guns, but it does look incredibly fun to play. So that's why we're telling you about the demo. It's rumored to be over an entire gigabyte, so make sure you've got something else to do. Try it out, then decide if it's for you or not!

This sounds great! I never thought I would get the chance to try this game out so soon after hearing about it! It looks so strange and fun.

Oh you can also search online on how to get a step by step tutorial on how to setup a foreign PSN account. http://blogs.ign.com/xheavenxsentx/2006/12/09/39684/ Thats just the one I used and helped a bit.

well its out...and quite good, you have to skip alot of cutscenes if you cant understand japnaese, but once you get to the fighting it works surprisingly well, with a slick use of the sixaxis to literally rip the souls from you enemies which then allow you to use each enemies attack as you own.

definately a game to watch, just a shame about the static shadows which dont react to light.[not really important but it seems weird when you walk around a lamp and you shadow faces the wrong way...]
