EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: qgames
The next instalment in Q-Games popular PixelJunk series is set to land on the PlayStation Network this week.
PixelJunk Sidescroller, a strategic side-scrolling action shooter, will be available tomorrow on the North American PlayStation Store and then on the European PlayStation Store on Wednesday.
Q-Games has changed the name of the upcoming PixelJunk Lifelike. The title will henceforth be known as PixelJunk 4am!
President and Executive Producer Dylan Cuthbert explained how the name was changed “after long deliberation” to “better match the atmosphere [they] are trying to create”:
We’re big fans of Japan-based developer Q-Games here at El33tonline. How could we not be when we’ve spent countless hours carefully placing towers and saving villagers in PixelJunk Monsters? And that’s not even counting the time we’ve put into PixelJunk Racers, PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Shooter!
So naturally we’re excited to hear that Q-Games will have three of their games on show at E3 next week.
Three!
A live-‘action’ trailer for Q-Games’ next project, PixelJunk Lifelike, recently went out around Mother Internet, and features two of the title’s contributors, Omar Cornut and musician/artist Baiyon, running around a picturesque forest with a few PlayStation Move Motion Controllers in hand.
Of course, the trailer also features some funky, funky beats. This is a PixelJunk game after all!
Or is it?
Judging by these newly released screenshots, as well as a debut trailer, PixelJunk Shooter 2 is looking very similar to its predecessor, featuring the same brand of exploration-based puzzle shooting with similar water/lava/steam levels.
This is not a bad thing. This is a very good thing.
Q-Games’s Dylan Cuthbert has formally announced the existence of PixelJunk Shooter 2 on the US PlayStation Blog, following a reveal in Official PlayStation Magazine and hints and rumours earlier this year.
According to Cuthbert, work on the sequel to last year’s awesome exploration-based puzzle shooter is “in full production, full steam ahead, anchors away and all that,” and while he can’t say much about the game at the moment, PixelJunk Shooter 2 “will have some features that are new to the PixelJunk series in general and will be bigger than the first game!”
Cuthbert’s blog post continues:
Although we already knew that Q-Games was working on a new instalment in its popular PixelJunk series, details of the new title were still scarce. Until now that is, because Dylan Cuthbert, President and Executive Producer of Q-Games has announced that PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap will be arriving on the PlayStation Network this Spring.
Q-Games has confirmed that a sequel to the popular PixelJunk Racers is in the pipeline.
This comes after the ESRB revealed last week that PixelJunk Racers 2nd Lap was en-route to the PS3. At first Dylan Cuthbert, president and executive producer of Q-Games, denied the game’s existence – a post on his Twitter account read “no idea…the ESRB always randomly rate randomly named games from randomly unnamed sources.”
Q-Games, the developers behind the popular PixelJunk series, has released the official launch trailer for their new title PixelJunk Shooter.
Q-Games has announced that the fourth game in the popular PixelJunk series, PixelJunk Shooter, will be available on the PlayStation Store next week Thursday, the 10th of December. The game will be available across North America and Europe simultaneously, and ahead of Japan for those keeping tab.
PixelJunk Shooter mixes shooting and strategy elements as players navigate their way through cavernous stages in a rescue ship, taking cover behind rocks, trading fire with enemies and rescuing survivors. The game features same screen co-op (like Eden), as well as supporting custom soundtracks, the screenshot feature, PSP remote play and YouTube video uploading.
Posting on his personal Twitter account, president and executive producer at Q-Games (creator of all things PixelJunk) Dylan Cuthbert has revealed that the studio’s next effort, PixelJunk Shooter, has ‘gone gold’,’ although in digital download parlance that probably just means ‘it’s done and has been approved by the platform holder.’
PixelJunk Shooter is expected to release in Japan on December 24th, exclusively on the PlayStation Network, with a release in the West not far behind.

Q-Games are the developer behind the popular PixelJunk series of downloadable games for the PS3. The series kicked off with PixelJunk Racers soon moved on to PixelJunk Monsters and finished off with PixelJunk Eden, with PixelJunk Shooter currently in development.
However, it seems as if Q-Games might just consider working on a sequel to PixelJunk Monsters. That’s according to Dylan Cuthbert, President and Executive Producer of Q-Games, who responded to a query about the possibility of PixelJunk Monsters 2 as follows:
PixelJunk developer Q-Games showed off some new stages of their upcoming game PixelJunk Shooter at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
PixelJunk Shooter mixes shooting and strategy elements as players navigate their way through cavernous stages in a rescue ship, taking cover behind rocks, trading fire with enemies and rescuing survivors. The game is expected to be released sometime later this year.
PixelJunk developer Q-Games has released some information about the two player mode in their upcoming game PixelJunk Shooter.
According to Dylan Cuthbert, President and Executive Producer of Q Games, “we’ve tried to make co-op as de-stressed as possible, so even if your player’s ship gets hit by something or overheats and starts crashing towards the ground, you can pop out your extendible hook thing (no official name for this yet - “Grabber” perhaps?) and grab your friend (he’s a bit heavy tho, so watch out), then you can carry him to the nearest pool of water and dunk him in to restore his health. If you don’t manage to grab him in time, he’ll just re-spawn near you and you’ll be docked a life.”
