Is this the first time a PSN game has had a demo out before the actual release?

Ummm... no? There have been plenty of demos that came out before the full game.

 

[Y2Kev]

OMG DEMO TOMORROW OMG!!!

 

[elseanio]

I hope demo play carries over to retail

 

[AndresON777]

Game looks cool, trophies sealed it.

 

[Mirimar]

Please be a co-op demo!!

I'm talking about demos for PSN games not for retail games.

PJM (japan demo)?

Siren is a recent example.

Awesome! Where did you find this out from?

Just trust him, all you need to know.

 

[ckeur]

Good enough for me. My question was more of a hidden question to see if he was in the industry and where if so.

 

[Indeed]

Oh god a 3player trophy? Nooooooo =(

And please release the soundtrack again!!

[Indeed]

So when's the store gonna be updated? I need that demo :O

 

[Brianemone]

The No Wasted Pollen Trophy is a joke, I think it is possible but there is no way I am going to try and do it.

I love the game, it's a lot of fun, I am trying to do some work but the PS3 is sitting there staring at me tempting me with its refreshing colour palettes and entrancing music. Damn you PJE

Demo tomorrow? Awesome! I like the aesthetics of the game a lot, and the gameplay looks very interesting to me.

Also, about PJM

Oh, and we have been totally inundated with requests for trophies in PixelJunk Monsters via some kind of patch. As this goes to press, I can say we are definitely looking into it - you just need to badger Deborah Mars and her team in Santa Monica to get some dates set. If we release a patch, we will not only implement this but we will also implement XMB music and a couple of other things.

It looks like PJM was a pretty big success for them. I know he was mentioning in other blogs shortly after the release that all addons for it would ride on the amount of success the game had.

 

[Indeed]

I just hope the PJM trophies are retroactive. There is no way im getting some of these rainbows again.

Spoiler

When is the store update damnit :S!!!

It's usually updated late in the evening. However since PJE is a Japanese developed game there's a possibility that the Japanese store will update with a demo early in the morning.

I am so excited for this game.

July 31st

 

[Oneself]

So much for trophies.... but OMG this game is coming out soon!! Sure get, day one.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

July 31st

YES YES YES YES!! Cant wait!

 

[TTP]

Is it 100% confirmed it's coming to Europe as well on 31st?

 

[Yoshichan]

YES YES YES YES!! Cant wait!

Yeah... imagine how it would've felt if you thought it'd be out tomorrow and you realize the truth ... that's me...

 

[BobTheFork]

finally a leaked list. i've been dying for more trophies.

 

[Brianemone]

The dev told me the 31st in general and I didn't think to ask about wether it would be on the European store at the same time (even if that is the store that we use in NZ)

 

[maxax]

Same here.
I've never owned a 360 but now I can finally see the attraction people have to achievements. If a game has trophies it's a much bigger incentive to buy and play it for me.
Kind of sad. I know.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

The Youtube thing sounds great. Can't wait to try this tomorrow!

 

[BoilersFan23]

Probably not, because you can download game saves for it.

Anyway, I'm excited for PJE.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Demo tomorrow

nice

The Rainbows are linked to your Score and PSN Account though.

So how will the YouTube uploading work? Will upload to your personal youtube page or to a premade pixeljunk eden youtube page?

You will have to log in with your Youtube account. The video will be posted under a official PS3 channel.

i just figured out what I absolutely love about this game.

Remember back in the day when you'd be playing a game and there was a section (usually platformers) where you had to jump and you'd hold the Dpad really really tightly in the direction your jumping just to make sure you got every last ounce of movement into it? You knew it didn't make a difference but on a subconcious level you hoped it would and sometimes I'd even hold my breath because I was not 100% sure I'd make the jump.

That is what PixelJunk Eden does to me. It makes me enjoy video games like I haven't enjoyed them in years. Not saying it's the best game in years but just that I haven't had moments like that since I was about 12 years old. Love it.

I just uploaded one and it goes directly to your own video library (after entering your username and password)

 

[ToyMachine228]

Oh shit demo tomorrow? Nice I think this looks really interesting. Personally I wish it was also being released for XBLA though just because I have a nice collection of Arcade games on 360 and it would fit nicely in there.

 

[EagleEyes]

Between this and Geometry Wars 2 next week DL games just hit the big time. Can't wait.

 

[Loudninja]

Just in case some of you did not believe Jim

The Demo is coming out tomorrow.

The full game is planned for release on the 31st of July (fingers crossed)!

and this!

Hey there TTP!

We are still working out the details of retro-actively patching trophies into Monsters. I really don’t want to force people to get all their rainbows again!

The trophies will be more along the lines of “clear Hard 2 using a rock and a bit of string” type challenges though. So they will give you replay for stages you have already played.

Thanks TTP

 

[Loudninja]

Wow.. what a huge response to my blog entry today!

To answer a few of the queries, the July 31st release date is worldwide (touch wood), I think this even means Australia.

This is NOT the last game in the series, by a long shot. However, we are going to be secret - we actually work on a lot of ideas and already have a “lost work” (ie. a title we cancelled halfway through development because it just wasn’t working the way we wanted it to)

I also heard there will be another blog enry tomorrow with some more info from the team at Santa Monica.

Oh and there will be a demo for the EU store too for a change! (a first for a PixelJunk game)
I think that will go up simultaneously with the full game next week.

I really can’t see anyone not buying it after playing the demo ;-)
(but I am bound to say that, right?)

Thanks for the TON of fan-mail we have been getting by the way - I try to answer most of them directly but if some got missed I apologize.

The PS blog was a great idea.
