Wait? they put Crystal Defenders over PixelJunk Monsters??? WTF? R they Serious????

I think the title should be renamed to "Annoyed by Sony JAPAN"

And this goes to show that there are two sides to it all. The developer's side or the Publisher's side. The publisher calls the shots.

Since tthey feel unappreciated ill support them now.
Seeing as i have never bought a pixel junk game idk were to start.

Q-games was not approved the "best 5 out of 8" tic-tac-toe rematch that sony makes all companies participate in when it comes to distribute kiosk space for their psp games.

Highly unprofessional on Dylan's part. Sony has give Q games a ton of support if not for Sony/PSN would anyone have even heard of them? Should all the Japanese devs start complaining about how SCEA treats them at Western events?

I like Q Games, but enough with the pity party.

...anticipated title coming to the PSP this year! That and LBP of course.

However, I have to wonder how much of a draw PJ games are for the PS platform. Sure they are fun, in some cases addictive as hell but how many people would get a PS3 or PSP based on PJ games?

On the flip side of that argument of course is when you have such a solid performer like PJ in your corner you should aim at keeping them on your side. I can't wait for every PJ release as each title brings something new and innovative to the table.

And what makes it the worst is how Square has slurped on Microsoft's left nut this whole gen without much of any love being shown to Sony. It's pretty hypocritical. Monsters wipes the floor with Square's defense game trash also so hopefully there was some backdoor deal where Square is giving Sony some money to be included. Well, nevermind...it's probably because Square is slurping Microsoft's left nut so much that Sony wants to be able to show people in Japan that Square (supposedly) makes games for Sony too.

not just Sony, indie dev in JP in general get screw all the time.

Way to show your professionalism, if this is true that is.

cause some quick-to-be-ignorant-people might take it as the whole Sony.

Anyways, I agree with Q-games developer. Square Enix shows no love for Sony in the past few years the PS3 came to the market, but then Sony gets to let their games be on their booths? Shutting out Pixel Junk MONSTERS?! Cmon SCEJ, THINK!

sadly to hear this, its true what he says

but, SCEJ is trying to get japanese audience,
and
we ALL know that japanese audience loves Square, no matter what.
hope they put the game anyways,
a good developer needs a good spot on the audience ;]

I'm disappointed over this. I really don't like it when companies whether it be Nintendo, Sony or whoever make indie developers seem less important. I don't exactly understand the conditions at TGS, but going by this man's word it's easy to feel disappointed for him.

Bit of a petty little b*tch.
It comes off sounding as if Sony doesn't support their devs properly and we all know if anyone treats devs well its Sony.

Its a shame for Qgames but come on, what do you expect? Square is still Square and no indie dev is about to take preference over them if space is limited, especially right now.

I love the Pixle games but we'll see if PJShooter sells more and thus is deemed more important than FFXIII in Japan this Christmas.

Considering how square has treated Sony so far, I thought Sony Japan would have known better :)

Sony should have had some type of promotion at TGS for the game, because it would not have hurt, but this man also needs to understand that SquareEnix games will always be promoted by Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft more than their own 1st and 2nd party games.

Japan loves their RPG's, simple as that, its not really Sony's fault as it is as the people in Japan. A RPG game sells better then a small non RPG game would, its all about the great storys and long game play vs something that looks good but doesn't have much of a story to beat a RPG.

I think its no big deal, if a developer wants to cry about something so little, then they should try making something else or stop crying. We all can't have it are way.

day 1 for all your games bud...

Meh. Q-Games is good. Their games speak for themselves.

SONY has a strong history with SE.

It's just like me choosing to go to a concert with my best friend who kinda likes the band, and leaving behind a newer-but-still-good-friend who likes the band more.

It sucks for Q-Games, but I don't see much wrong with this.

Are the developers of PJ Japanese? Because if they aren't then thats one of the reasons why SCEJ didn't treat them right.

EVERYONE loves Peanut butter & Jelly Monsters. Even girlfriends, wives, and in-laws! Can't say the same for Cracked Crystal Defenders.

he should be careful tweeting like that is just stupid, he should know his publishers future depends on the next 3 months and squenix, they will be thinking about that and only that until then.

Ah, Twitter...the tool that finally gives all the "who gives a crap?" statements in the world a chance to be heard by a worldwide community that doesn't care about all the petty whiney things people say with it.

PJ monsters is awesome and pisses all over the SE's tower defence game.

Crystal Defenders on PS3 works at 15fps, for heaven's sake! A 2d game that runs at 15fps and burns my eyes just to look at it.. Shows lack of commitment to proper game design on SE's end.. They have made a game that shouldn't have passed Sony QA..

and you guys are crying for this? i mean we have gg, team ico and etc grow up and stop been a "nerd" i can't belive there is soo many nerds fanboys in here

They're great devs, but square is a big name in japan.

Pixel junk monsters is great. Though eden was a little frustrating. Not the relaxing experience they said it would be...

they need to get over themselves but i understand their point

PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is a better game IMO, so why are they doing things backwards?

Oops, sorry.

Double post.

I don't see the big issue here, it's called business..you're obviously going to want to show off the big guns instead of the little ones.

That's what you get Q-Games for putting ur Games on a last place console.put those games on the 360 and it will sell.

I think the people buying the games already picked their sides.

Q Games ftw.

Talk about a misleading headline...should have been 'Second party developer annoyed by Sony Japan', not just Sony. SCEA could have recommend to SCEJ to put the title at their display, but they didn't have to listen.

Sure, the situation sucks, but the Japanese are all about honoring their brothers and their products. They just want our money, LOL.

This is cool. Too bad it doesn't have trophies.

"PixelJunk® Monsters Deluxe, PixelJunk® SideScroller, and PixelJunk® Shooter 2 will be available on the PlayStation Vita starting May 15th for half price $4.99"

as i already have these games. will i need to buy them again for it to work on the vita :(?
