Isn’t it amazing how far PlayStation Network titles have come? The service was originally conceived as a means to host bite-sized titles such as Super Stardust HD, but has since blossomed into a viable platform for indie developers to realise their dreams.
Papo & Yo is one such project, as this live-action launch trailer ambitiously demonstrates. Directed by Alfonso Maiorana, it depicts protagonist Quico’s turbulent relationship with his alcoholic father.
The full game’s due out on 14th August in North America and 15th August in Europe. Are you planning on picking it up?

Why aren't people commenting on this?!
Slightly cheesy acting aside, that was one of the best trailers I've seen in a long time.
Here's a comment:
And the world still tries to excuse alcohol when everyone knows it destroys people, destroys families. What point is there to a "drug war" when the worlds number one narcotic goes untouched?
As for the game itself? Looks like it features some fun mechanics. But I'm still tired of the pseudo-voodoo connotations. Every black-skinned character has to be connected to it somehow?
@Sammy Wasn't Super Stardust HD a bite sized indie dream realized?
Assuming the sequences represent the game, then I actually think that this looks interesting. Will keep my eye out.
I've already pre-ordered this, and I'm super-excited! The trailer was very cool. Tiny complaint: I wish the CG boy's face looked a little better. I know that faces are hard to pull-off...
