PixelJunk Eden to support Youtube Uploading. Release date revealed.

Producer of Q-Games Dylan Cuthbert just posted details of the soon to be released PixelJunk Eden on the Playstation Blog.
He has confirmed that the game will support Youtube uploading which means we can simply press a record button during gameplay and once we stop recording we can upload it straight onto Youtube without leaving the game.

Other things he mentioned are Remote Play, Trophies and the release date. A demo is being released on the Store tomorrow and the full game will be released on July 31st.

PixelJunk Eden is a short-form PSN title so there are fewer trophies when compared to, say, a Blu-ray title (which can have the esteemed platinum trophy), but we still managed to pack in quite a few. To begin with, you can get a bronze trophy for opening every “seed” in a stage. This is quite a challenge on some of the stages as the gardens are large and expansive. Then there are trophies for a load of other things, such as destroying 500 of the “prowlers,” or collecting 15 “crystals” in one jump. My personal favorite is a trophy that you can only achieve in 3P mode, where you have to “volley” a player between you back and forth five times without him/her landing on a plant, a bit like tennis.

The YouTube upload feature is going to revolutionize how people share tips. Up until now it has been limited to people with video capture equipment, but from now on, anyone can record their game and upload it directly to YouTube from within the game! It is as simple as pushing one button to start and one button to stop and upload, and there is no affect on the gameplay thanks to the power of the PS3 and its abundance of SPU processors.

The Demo is coming out tomorrow.

The full game is planned for release on the 31st of July (fingers crossed)!
