PixelJunk Eden Encore to be revealed, playable at GDC [update]

by Jem Alexander on Mar 18th 2009 10:05PM

One of the PS3 highlights of last year's GDC for PS3 was the unveiling of the third PixelJunk title, PixelJunk Eden, during Dylan Cuthbert's post-mortem of the first two games in the series. This year Cuthbert is set to return and unveil the latest PixelJunk project, according to a press invitation to the PlayStation Blog Lounge. Not only that but there will be hands-on time for those who attend.

We know that the fourth game in the series won't be PixelJunk Dungeons, which was also vaguely mentioned back at GDC 2008, as it requires more development time. At this point we really have no idea what PixelJunk 4 could be but, after our experiences with Monsters and Eden, we can't wait to find out next Thursday.

[UPDATE] Dylan Cuthbert has let the cat out of the bag via his Twitter feed. PixelJunk 4 will not be shown at GDC next week, instead we'll get the first look on the expansion for the third game in the series, PixelJunk Eden Encore.

i loved Monsters, and i kinda liked Eden... but i don't doubt this will be a good game worth the price as they have proved before.

PJ Racers is also a very solid title. Out of the 3 PJ Monsters is my favorite though it is mind numbingly difficult. Especially the trophy challenges.

Monsters is my favorite too. I just wish the trophies could be unlocked in the normal game too. I got the one where you have to get a perfect run on the level with 4 trees in the normal game, and was pretty disappointed when I didn't hear the *ding*

Yeah I would preferred that they implemented them into the actual game instead of independent challenges. The one where you can't let a tower upgrade is the easiest one and I can't even get that!

I got that one. Might be the only one I've bothered with so far. At first, I thought the whole trophies thing was a great way to add replayability to a game, by I'm finding myself playing just for trophies sometimes, which is so dumb. Unless you could sell trophies for money. They're good for a challenge now and again, but that empty addiction factor is starting to bug me. Same reason I quit WoW before I hit lvl60, thank god lol...

I've been looking at Prinny and have been on the fence since I've never played a Disgaia game, but I've recently heard it's good and SUPER difficult. I love me the crazy hard games, so I might have to pick it up :$

Yeah man it's VERY difficult but very rewarding. It's not like the other Disgaea games in that it isn't a grinding RPG. It's damn fun to be honest one of the better PSP games. Not as good as SF Dark Mirror, GOW Chains Of Olympus or Jeanne D'Arc but still one of the best PSP games ever made IMO. Let me just say that it's difficult on Normal and I couldn't imagine playing it on the Hard mode. The biggest problem is Prinny can only take 4 hits before dying (there are checkpoints) and that makes boss battles extremely difficult especially when they are super cheap. It's like Metal Slug to the infinite degree. If your a masochist (like me) and enjoy banging your head against a brick wall then this is your type of game.

hope its great! I'll need something good after Fat Princess

that H and D on the crown......PixelJunk HD?

HD has always been on the crown, it's just usually too small to read

oh, my bad. I know jack shit about the PixelJunk series but the name sounds interesting :P

sweet. sounds good. this reminds me to get a PSN card so i can get eden and some other PSN games i haven't been able to buy lately..

If you haven't gotten a PSN game since before Eden, you are missing out on ALOT. I'd suggest getting 2 $50 cards. You... look...like your made of... okay, a few $20 cards.

yeah, i know. i've missed out on a lot but i'm trying to clear the backlog and killzone 2 isn't helping at all.

Bob will be there everyone!

I have played the demo of Monsters and loved the hell out of it. I bought Eden but I am mixed about it. Not the type of game I can play very long without getting bored of it.

I really really can't wait for this! After playing Monsters, I can't even imagine how many awesome hours I'll spend with Dungeons too... One of my most anticipated titles.

You have a PSP?

I got that Prinny game today as well as R:FOM Retribution and Prinny is an awesome game. It's so hard though ... makes me want to smash my new PSP-3000! Hardest game I have EVER played in my life. Makes PJ Monsters look like Linger In Shadows.

hell ya prinny is so awesome

do game reporters not get taught about the five w's?

exactly which of the 5 w's isn't clear to you in this article?

I have a PJ folder on my PS3, kinda collect their games. I loved Monsters and Racers but couldn't get into Eden, I give it 10 mins here and their but get bored quickly.

I mostly play Monsters via RemotePlay on my PSP while in the bath.

It is not a fully new game, it is Pixeljunk Eden Encore.

This is some exciting news.

Well, once you delete the spam I'm left out in the cold with my coat off!

I got Eden when it first came out, loved it, got about halfway through. Picked it up again a few weeks ago after the patch came out and made things a bit easier, and now I'm addicted to it again, gotten all the way to the final garden. The level design in some of the later gardens is absolutely amazing. I am very much looking forward to an encore expansion!

I've really enjoyed Eden since they released the patch (pre-patch I gave up around Garden 7 where the difficulty got ridiculous).

I can get behind more Gardens (which is what I'm assuming this expansion would be). If they figured out online play, they'd be even better.
