    Yesterday when the news broke, I checked on one of our newer sites, TechSpy to make sure the story was live. For big news, you cant count on N4G to take care of itself, sure enough.

    Interestingly, some N4G users object to the news as “not gaming related” – which is, after all, one of the first criteria for submitting something to the site! I still don’t see where they’re coming from on this. Steve Jobs was the founder and vision behind a company that created multiple gaming devices – devices that have their own channels on N4G! Devices that have spawned gaming genres and franchises with their own plushies. All this without getting into a Macs as gaming platforms kerfuffle (or mentioning Pixar). Maybe it’s the death part that just isn’t gaming related enough in a culture that’s come to count on respawn.

    Keep the iDevice batteries at half power today.

    Over the weekend I got to participate in the PixelJunk Monsters Alpha test – testing out the browser-based version of the game. It’s an Alpha, so there were some bugs and server struggles, but overall I was impressed with where the game is at. Of course, the PJM gameplay is a solid foundation!

    Fun changes add new strategic elements, and smart changes make Monsters compatible with its future browser home. The only towers available in the test were the arrow and canon, so we’ll have to wait and see about future tower power…

    N4Ger jmare posted on the forums: “U.S. Gamers Crack Puzzle in AIDS Research that Stumped Scientists for Years”

    According to the FOX news piece, “online gamers” cracked a retrovirus protein structure that’s been boggling the minds of what I must assume are “offline scientists” for years. They did it in three weeks, but since speed runs are our thing I bet they’ll be looking to have future proteins down to 10 hrs.

    Why the Offline Scientists care: the protein (protease) affects how viruses multiply and cracking its code may help battle HIV/AIDS. An Offline Scientist, Khatib, is quoted as saying, “The ingenuity of game players is a formidable force that, if properly directed, can be used to solve a wide range of scientific problems.”

    In case you missed it, “if properly directed” is the gratingly loaded part of that statement.

  • PixelJunk lifelike is now PixelJunk 4am: New Trailer & Teaser Site Launches

    September 14, 2011 // 0 Comments

    Posted in: PS3, Trailer


    Yep, the enigmatic PixelJunk lifelike has a new title! Now PixelJunk 4am, the change comes along with the launch of a new teaser site for the game.

    Out of TGS Kyoto musical artist, PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk 4am collaborator, Baiyon, spoke on the name change:

    Why the name change?

    Baiyon: PixelJunk lifelike was originally conceived as an extension of the PixelJunk Eden world. Our idea was to create a kind of living speaker for people to play their music through, using natural imagery and taking strong visual cues from Eden. There wasn’t even the concept of a “player”. We’ve since moved far beyond that simple idea to new and uncharted waters both visually and musically. The style has evolved now into something that is really quite different from anything we’ve ever made before. It was only natural we’d want to chase this new concept and capture it with a new title.

    Why 4am?

    Baiyon: 4am represents the exact mood and feeling we’ve captured. 4am is that deep night hour. In clubs, the music drifts to a new level entering a deepened state that often seems removed from reality. Whether you’re in a club or not, 4am always feels like the night has gone on forever, where there’s still that little bit of time left before dawn. This late night feel better represents our current visual and musical style.

    So what can we expect now?
    Baiyon: PixelJunk 4am is something unique that has never been tried before, so we’re treading in new territory. We’re using the PlayStation Move in truly experimental ways to give people control of making their own style of music. Being able to stream your music live on PSN also gives people the chance to broadcast a new kind of online performance. We can’t wait to see people playing 4am deep into the early morning hours.

    The new, officially official TGS trailer for PixelJunk 4am:
