PixelJunk Shooter walkthrough showcases new gameplay, features
Using Comic-Con as its stage and the PlayStation Blog as its host, SCEA Santa Monica's Matt Morton showcased a new ice level in the upcoming PSN exclusive, PixelJunk Shooter, as well as changes to the game's art and controls. Tweaks weren't the only thing on display, as Morton also showcased new elements in the game, like the ability to transform your ship into a lava spewing powerhouse, melting away the level encased in ice (and our hearts in the process). The more we see of PixelJunk Shooter. the more our excitement grows ... and the more we forget the game's boring name. The full walkthrough is served chilled, after the break.
PixelJunk's shooter officially named 'PixelJunk Shooter'
After opening up naming duties to fans, the next PixelJunk game (formerly PixelJunk 1-4) has officially been named PixelJunk Shooter. According to the PlayStation Blog announcement, 10,000 suggestions were submitted for the contest, which was ultimately won by Canadian Mario Paquet. For (somehow) dreaming up the name, Paquet will be included in the game's credits and receive a t-shirt with the game's logo. After selecting the official name, runner-up winners were selected by the scientific method of placing various names into a hat. Runner-up winners (and future t-shirt recipients) included PixelJunk Depths, S.O.S!, Blaster, Caves and Atlantis. According to Q-Games' Dylan Cuthbert, one of the most popular suggestions for the game was PixelJunk Elements, but the name failed to capture the "shooting side of the game well enough." We don't think the name they ultimately selected will pose the same issue. %Gallery-51352%
