Pixeljunk “Lifelike” Coming Soon to PS3
Have you been pondering what is next for Kyoto-based Q-Games and their beloved Pixeljunk series? Wonder no more, as exactly what they are up to has been revealed at GDC.
Even though it’s called Pixeljunk, it’s not a game, instead it’s a new visualizer for the PS3. A snapped picture of the visualizer has been revealed by Baiyon, a Japanese multi-media artist responsible for some of the music behind the Pixeljunk series, via his Twitter account. Check out the images below (Click thumbnail for full size image)
Pixeljunk developer Q-Games is responsible for the other visualizers on the PS3, as well as the XMB OS interface, and the default “original” dynamic XMB theme on the PS3.
At the moment that is all that has been revealed, but we’ll be sure to follow any news coming from Q-Games and Baiyon about the upcoming visualizer.

its about time, i know it isn’t the most important function by far but it also can’t be anywhere near the hardest to improve
Visualizer like the ones when you play music?
It would be awesome if they produced a visualizer for the PS3 that was influenced by the ones for WinAmp.
Baiyon did all the music for PixelJunk Eden and it’s good stuff too!
So is it Q-Games’s fault that Music Browsing on the PS3 is so dreadfully painful?
The visualizer in the picture looks like crap, though.
would it be like V-CD demo on PS1, where the image changed depending on the music you play?
I hope it’s free, I will not be paying for no Visualizer, no way
completely unnecessary if you ask me…how many people really just sit there in front of their PS3 listening to music and watching the visualizer??? I guess it’s great for those who do, but I can’t imagine there are that many…
strange, they need to get to crackin on a new monsters
I always liked the sat image of the earth visualizer, we’ll see about this one.
yaaaaa pixeljunk monsters 2…now thats more like it!!
a visualisation while playing music is important because no matter how good a tv is in preventing burn in you need a screen saver . I always see people saying it’s not necessary because nobody stares at the tv while playing music but it still gets boring using one visualiser over and over and having something interesting on screen is nice , especially during a party .
I like the earth one we have now but some variety is nice – frankly the others that have been around since day 1 are ugly – if they make some new ones and they’re cool then I’d pay 99ยข for one .
hopefully they’ll be free to people who bought pixeljunk games though
