Dylan Cuthbert, the lovely man at the head of Q-Games and its associated PixelJunk subbrand, has let us know what the 4th title in the PixelJunk canon will be: Shooter.
You’ll remember that there was a competition for fans of Dylan’s games to come up with names for the project and then he’d select a winner for his underground water based platform puzzler. The winning name sounds just fine to us, although I personally, naturally, preferred my own choice of Pixeljunk Geo.

Pixeljunk Bacon would have been better.

Much more memorable – would have got my vote. Though I honestly thought PIXEL JUNK: ELEMENTS would win since so many people were suggesting it.

Don't call him Kevatron400.

So they sorted through the thousands of applicants and decided “shooter” was the best? My suggestion was PixelJunk: Crust, which I prefer to shooter. Why didn’t they call eden “swinger”? >.<

O, they have made such a huge mistake with this name – everyone hates it!

i thought it was called Pixeljunk Dylan Cuthbert since it said “Pixeljunk 1-4 is called…” and then continued with Dylan Cuthbert…:P
Shooter however… is a horrible name for that game….

I think my effort was the best Pixeljunk: Evolution

Eeesh. Might as well have just stuck with Pixeljunk 1-4. At least that was original…

well it kind of fits in with the rest of the names. But I do think Geo sounds a lot better

How does that even match the video…?

Wanted "Trophy Hunter" but was too late.

Really? I was thinking of Shooter, but found it way to unoriginal O_o
Well at least the game looks like fun

I came up with ‘Blaze’. ‘Shooter’ is a horrible, boring name. From that choice, almost any other name would have been better!

I suggested “Elements” since it has to do with elements… sounds logical, right?

Yeah, me too, as did a couple of pals on another forum I frequent. Not overly keen on PixelJunk Shooter, as it doesn’t sound very original/interesting, does it?! I suppose for those uninformed persons looking to buy the game on PSN though, it leaves no doubt as to what the game is about…?!

Still no word on that…

Overwhelming majority of the PS.Blog commets hate it. Don’t blame them/ Not exactly creative is it? Sounds very generic too

PixelJunk: spunk. You can’t beat a rapey rhyme
