As you can guess, we’ve got a TON of exciting things to offer in this sequel to the already amazing PixelJunk Shooter, but we need your input to help make it the absolute best it can be!

You will also get to go head-to-head against other testers and experience the online Battle System in which you fight 1-on-1 taking turns being the hunter or the hunted!

  • 3k miles away but sounds great. Is it still on schedule for 2010 and do you plan to offer Home unlockables like the first?

  • PJS2 avatars and dynamic theme would be good too.

  • You repeated some text before the screens.

  • I would love some optional Move Support…
    The controls would be great!

    • Hi oFelipeNFo,
      We are staying faithful to the control scheme already established in PixelJunk Shooter, so it won’t have Move support… We just figured the Move Starter Bundle would be a great incentive for the testers. :)

  • I would love to see some PixelJunk Avatars too please! it would make my PSN card THAT much more awesome.

    on another note, i cannot wait to get my hands on shooter 2! I loved shooter 1, so i have high expectations for pjs2 as well!

    PS. where has Dylan been? hasn’t been on the blog in a while.

    • We plan to have a lot of nice things for the PixelJunk fans coming soon!

      Dylan and the amazing Q-Games team are working like crazy to make sure PixelJunk Shooter 2 is as amazing as we all know it will be. I’m sure Dylan will have lots of good news for all of us PixelJunkies.

  • Great news. Hey, what about a PixelJunk Monsters sequel? :)

    • Do you have a PSP?

      I would recommend getting PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, if you haven’t already. Why? A 3rd island of insane Monsters action, lots of unlockable items, online co-op on the PSP…. SOOOO much Monsters love!

  • Please make the game tougher or have difficulty levels (not sure if PS Shooter had them). But overall, I loved it, as I have all PixelJunk games. Keep em coming!!

  • No North Bay love?

  • … Online battle system?! I’m interested even more now. My brother and I adored the fluid system; we would spend hours just mucking around with the different possibilities.

  • Geez! That is a great incentive gift. EA Canada only gives us one free EA produced game for our time. MOVE starter bundle! Hmm 24 hour straight drive from Vancouver…is it worth it…

  • what are the odds that we’ll see this before Christmas?

  • Hope I get in! I loved Shooter and my Mom wants a Move for Christmas. Double Win!

  • hope i get selected!

  • Is “Bella of the Beast” the official subtitle for PJS 2? I’ve never even seen that before until now….

    • Did you finish PixelJunk Shooter? If so, the subtitle makes sense!

      If not…. well…. I don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t finished PixelJunk Shooter! ;)

  • “Belly of the Beast”….crap….stupid.

  • DAMN IT!!! I HAVE TO STUDY FOR FINALS!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! otherwise i would have been all over this. If only they were doing it the next friday… Oh well I already bought a PS Move, but it would have been sweet to get another.

  • hey matt where is dylan? :0)
    also, any chance that you guys could do a pixeljunk monsters 2?

  • Seems like it’s always LA that gets to do all these cool tests of games! I wish someone would have something like this in KY, or anywhere on the eastern part of the US!

    But I’m looking forward to Shooter 2!

  • Didn’t Pixel junk shooters come out like in August?.. And already a part 2… Someone trying to sell DLC as full games…

    • Hi NyPrince,

      We are closing in on a year since PixelJunk Shooter was released. I’m not sure what you are referring to, but if you are a fan of the PixelJunk games, you would know that when additional content is released for a title, it’s listed as an Encore pack.

      PixelJunk Shooter 2 is the first true sequel in the PixelJunk series, and is equal to and exceeding the content of the original in every way! It’s really quite stunning!

  • Alright! Now we’re talking. Hope I get in. Love living near LA!

  • Please, .. someone make a stake out in Florida for once.

  • I wish I get in, I just e-mailed you now, I wish it is not too late! Please let me test this game! Please!!!!!!!

  • cant wait guys. pjs is easily my favorite PSN game.
    everyone go get it now if u havnt already.

  • It would be awesome if there was User created levels for this game.

  • Oh ok, Thanks anyway.
    I still love the original Control scheme! XD
    The Multiplayer sounds AMAZING! Wish i lived in LA…

  • OMG!!!! I live in San Diego!!! May i still apply??? I get to try it early plus a move starter pack???? EPIC

  • will we be notified that we werent chosen? has anybody been contacted yet whether or not they were chosen?

  • I wish I lived in L.A. for this opportunity! AGH! Even if I just had to crash into walls all day, I’d love to come try it out and help make it play better.

    Oh well.

    I really can’t wait for this game. Shooter 1 was one of my favourite games of the eyar!

  • Hi everyone!

    To all of you who have sent in emails: Thank You! I just wanted to let you know that we have been absolutely FLOODED with emails! I can’t tell you how great this makes us feel to see such enthusiasm from the readers of the PlayStation Blog.

    We have MORE than enough applicants for the playtest and beginning to send out confirmation emails to those lucky few who are selected for a session this Friday.

    If you don’t get selected for this round, fear not! We keep all emails on file and may use them in the future for other playtests.

    Again, thank you so much for the responses!

  • I sent an email to you guys. I really hope you pick me! I’m a HUGE fan of PixelJunk Shooter, I’ve already completed it a few times. I can’t wait for the sequel.

    -Mitchell

  • i really want thisssss

  • @27 Matt Morton

    I really really hope I get in. It will be a great birthday gift to come and test out the game. Please!!!! :)

  • wow… that’s just awesome! email sent!

  • When’s the release date?

  • Hey, are you guys working on 3D for this title or online co op. I can’t help but imagine how good this would be with both of those.

  • Man California is like the area to test out games being on the East coast seems more boring now then West Coast.

  • EMAIL sent! Hope you guys choose me, I live really close to your office!

  • I really wish I was able to make it to these kind of events, I live in TN, I already have a Move and whatnot but it would be a blast to be able to partake on the festivities.

  • I really enjoyed the original but a big downfall was the short length of the game. It felt just as you start to become good at the games and mechanics, the game ends. Will the single-player be any longer than the original?

  • I sent an email yesterday. I hope I get picked.

  • I loved the first game but i though it could use a little bit more boss battles cause the first two bosses in the game were pretty fun i didnt really feel the game was all that short since you always had a set number of treasures to locate. (and i still have yet to find the required ones to fight the third boss)

  • Are all the accepted email sent out?

  • I’m also curious. I sent my email yesterday; have you sent confirmations yet? This looks awesome! Thanks!
