Paint saint
Graffiti can be unsightly, but it can also be beautiful and have powerful messages. Concrete Genie, the new game from Entwined developer PixelOpus, will see you using paint to clean up a deserted fishing town, bringing much-needed life to its dilapidated walls.
This is looking lovely and a lot more ambitious than the developer’s last game. It’s due out in 2018.

I reckon this could look stunning in HDR but the game itself didn't do enough to warrant any interest from me.
It may just be the most beautiful trailer I've ever watched. What a fantastic idea and an even better execution. Mom's spaghetti.
@BAMozzy Yeah, HDR could look amazing with this given all the glittery effects.
This game shows me why i own a PS4 so many totally different games this one was fantastic.
@get2sammyb Yes - it reminded me a lot of Infamous and First Light in particular. The kid looks very much like Delsin - at least a characterisation of him. The Neon Graffiti of First Light though - especially with the more 'night-time' setting really made the HDR stand out and this looks to be similar - although the graffiti is more complex.
I just didn't get the 'game-play' though. The point of it, the 'story' etc. It looked the graffiti didn't do a lot - other than 'move' on the wall but with those bullies, I was expecting the Graffiti to come alive and help the Kid. As such, regardless of how 'good' it looks, it didn't do enough to interest me at the moment.
I did think a lot of games could use HDR very well but quite a few were PSVR games which obviously won't offer HDR. For example Starchild, Invector, Sprint Vector, Hong Kong Massacre etc

What a lovely idea and beautiful looking game. The only issue I really see is that this could be a little one note and get boring fast. Once you have painted one wall, surely you have painted them all..
Concrete Genie is their second game and it looks incredible, this studio really has potential.
Still don't like the name, "Genie Graffiti" flows off the tongue better, but I did like the aesthetic. Mostly reminded me of Papa & Yo, only it's Bansky instead of Yo.
But I'm not sure about the controls. Was it all touchpad? DS4 motion? Move seems to be relegated to a PSVR controller this gen so probably nto that, but there was a cool painting app on PS3.
Looking forward to reading more. Can fill in the void while I wait for Dreams.
Oh man this game looks awesome. 2018 is gonna be an expensive gaming year me.
This looks and sounds beautiful and something a bit different.
Brilliant trailer, one of my favourites of the show! Helpful monsters are cool.
This looks wonderful.
I loved this thought the trailer was great will be getting it definitely.
Looks cool, entwined was boring though.
Looking good, I hope we get more gameplay trailer at psx.
wow this is now my most anticipated from PGW
