PixelJunk Monsters sequel being considered, no more 2D photo

Anyone that knows me well knows that I am unnaturally obsessed with PixelJunk Monsters. I still play the game at least two nights a week, and since I have finished the majority of the levels, I just try to get the trophies from the Encore release (which are insanely hard). I think I find the music soothing, or maybe I really like to collect coins, or perhaps it has something to do with the satisfaction of killing those fat floaty guys. Whatever it is, in my mind, Monsters is a perfect game.

Apparently, I must not be the only one who would kill a baby to get a sequel, because Q-Games' Dylan Cuthbert mentioned the possibility of a sequel at Tokyo Game Show. Joystiq reports that while the sequel would be far into the future, it would be part of a "series 2" that Q-Games is envisioning -- in which all titles are 3D instead of 2D (three-dimensional, rather than retro style 2D).

Well, this is like, one of my gaming dreams. MORE PixelJunk! So what did I do? Promptly marched over to the Q-Games website to send them an email, of course. I want them to know this fan wants that sequel! If you love Monsters as much as I do, please do the same by sending an email to contact@q-games.com. Let's make it happen, people! I want to see my little Tiki friends dancing again!

Oh, that'll be no trouble at all. It seems that we keep roughly the same schedule when it comes to this game.

Hurray for good games!

though... *sigh* a little part of my soul crumbles off into the abyss every time I see the "in 3D" catch-phrase.

I still don't understand all the pissing and moaning over 3D. What the hell is the problem??

At first I thought it was just another thing for Sony haters to jump on, but there are 3D games on the way for the 360 so that can't account for all of it.

So far the games that are playable in 3D only have it as an option and it's not like you can't play the game without a 3D tv so it can't be that.

A lot of people bitch as if a 3D tv will cost them as much as a loaded BMW, but in actuality the price tag isn't that big a leap over an HD tv. I guess we can chalk that one up to people being misinformed?

It doesn't look like we have anything to worry about in the graphics dept. I've only had a chance to see MLB The Show in HD myself but it looks great. And as long as GT5 looks just half as good in 3D as it does running normally then there's nothing to worry about there.

Apparently there is a possibility that viewing 3D for some people will cause their eyes to cross, their brains to melt, and they'll collapse to the floor writhing in agony, but that's been a pretty standard warning since the earliest days of gaming. If you happen to be one of those people who are at risk you still be able to play the game in the standard view.

Even if you do just think 3D is a passing fad it's just an option, and it doesn't look like it going to cost you anything more to have it even if you don't want it. Someone explain to me where the downside is.

What 'other stuff' should they be spending their time on? Rendering for a 3D device is so easy, I've done it myself, and my experience in programming is limited to 6 months of dabbling. If the game is to use a 3D asset set, it's almost as simple as flipping a switch.

Also, you won't be forced to play it in 3D.

And motion controls are fucking dumb.

And I also is mad.

It's just another step in the dev process that will only get faster. It also seems to be something can can add on at a later date with an update. It doesn't seem to be holding up Dead Space 2 at all. It just seems like a pretty minor complaint.

Also what Gol-D-Roger said.

While I wouldn't be surprised if the next Pixel Junk games are optionally stereoscopic, I believe Cuthbert's references to a "3D" Series 2 are of a more polygonal slant.

I'm obsessed with this game too. I've finished both islands with mostly rainbows, and I've obtained all the trophies. I've played this game more than any other PS3 game. Bring on a sequel.

My girlfriend and I played this game a ton. She sucks at video games, but if I'm telling her what to do, shes a real help in the game. Lots of fun team work and communication in co-op. I'd love this on my ipod touch.

My wife LOVES this game. It's fun co-op, though it is a bit hard in the later levels.

I love every pixeljunk game except monsters, thank god I got Eden, racers and monsters for $9.99 together otherwise I'd be pissed if I`d bought monsters by itself. Monsters is the only game I`ve ever tried that I can`t stand to play more than 10 minutes. I wish they`d focus on a sequel to eden or new games before another piece of crap like monsters.
