IamTylerDurden11746d ago

It's a first party game via Pixel Opus and it has 2 VR modes in addition to the main PS4 game. The art style is brilliant and Shawn Layden really pushed for this game.

rdgneoz31746d ago

Read about the game at all or see a trailer? The main character deals with bullying, as well as painting the whole town / bring it back to life. Its kid / family friendly and uniquegame. The art reminds me of Folklore.

frostypants1746d ago

Folklore! That was such an interesting game. Wish they'd have made a sequel.

SkatterBrain1746d ago (Edited 1746d ago )

thanks for reminding me of Folklore , forgot how much fun it was , was really impressed it came out close to the launch of the PS3 its what i wished Final Fantasy 13 would have felt like , after playing final fantasy 10 over and over then seeing this got me excited to see final fantasy 13 then i was dissapointed , but soon after i bought final fantasy 12 and really enjoyed that one too

DarXyde1746d ago

Folklore was so underappreciated. I really enjoyed that game.

nix1746d ago

ah Folklore... beautiful memories... what really killed the mood for many was probably you had to do the same storyline twice with two different characters.

it was truly a great game to be honest.

Sevir1746d ago

Omg I loved Folklore! That game had some brilliant usages of the sixaxis controller. I wish we got a sequel and a PS4 remaster. The combat was awesome

It's an original IP that's going to be rated E10+. I think those are the main qualifications to qualify for those accolades.

I’ve been saying it’s my most anticipated PS4 game this year. It seems it is pretty good

Concrete Genie looks great. Also has some kind of VR support.

I'm seriously considering pre-ordering the digital deluxe version.

CP_Company1748d ago

it is just 30$. so the price is very tempting, already pre-ordered.

Knushwood Butt1748d ago

Yeah, the digital duluxe comes with bonuses that don't come with the retail version where I am so I will pre-order that. Digital soundtrack and digital art book. Maybe a PS4 theme too but that may come as a retail bonus too.

IamTylerDurden11746d ago

Digital Deluxe is 39.99 and u get

Full game
Digital soundtrack
Digital artbook
Dynamic theme
Avatars
An art park which adds more options to your in-game painting

All preorders come with avatars and a theme, but the digital deluxe has an extra dynamic theme.

It's well worth preordering the digital deluxe imo. The theme, art pack, and soundtrack are certainly worth $10, and tthe artbook and preorder bonuses are icing.

IamTylerDurden11746d ago (Edited 1746d ago )

2 VR modes including a paint mode where you create living masterpieces throughout the world and a more story focused mode that introduces new adventure. I'm excited.

fonger081747d ago

How are the majority of these games up for rewards if they’re not out yet?

jukins1746d ago

It's a game show about upcoming games..... you're acting like their giving out game of the year awards

fonger081746d ago

It’s was just a question there dude.

jukins1745d ago

And I answered. Every games show has awards pertaining to games at the show.

SamPao1746d ago

The poinz of these awards are to give them to the games that look and play zhe best BEFORE they are out. Thats the point. Publisher show the games off and zhey receive awards for originality and so on. Its not about games that are already out. There are other awards for that

fonger081746d ago (Edited 1746d ago )

Ah gotcha, so are games that are only at Gamescom nominated then? I would thought the likes of Last of Us or Death Stranding would be on there. Thank you kindly for the clarification.

SamPao1746d ago

Yeah should only be games that are at gamescom

For the first time in a long time I have a hard time feeling excited for these events. Maybe it's because of all these massive lay offs and closures there hasn't exactly been good news since the start of the year.

Maybe come next week I'll get a little more excited but I dunno I just can't get too excited right now

thorstein1d 13h ago

Maybe it will be an indie showcase.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Cancelling e3 and introducing some ridiculous events..
Times have changed.. to the worse

Lightning771d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Back then it was very exciting, great looking trailers, on stage live gameplay where yes things can and have went wrong but that's how we knew it was a real games being played instead of curated footage extra doctored up that didn't even represent the actual game half the time. Games would release 6 months to a year max not 3 years later.

I miss past E3's even the goofiness like Giant enemy crab or Riiiidge Raceeer. Xbox and Kinect glitching Nintendo's craziness. Again it was real, these days there so protective, clean, doctored sets, where nothing can absolutely go wrong. Too strict and professional with heavy PR babble with buzzwords that mean nothing. Being professional is not bad but when it's fake and corporate heavy where you're made to buy into the words rather than the game, that's how you know it's not real.

Now SFG is just sizzle reeling all the games at once. Plus past SGF events haven't been that great either. Maybe that's not Geoffs fault but the pubs and devs are simply never ready to show anything and have to wait. This gen we've been waiting and waiting for these games.

Plus lay offs as I Mentioned. I dunno Geoff needs to do what made E3 great back then, get funding support and do live stage gameplay he has the support and so why not? Pubs and devs need to do their own thing at the event again. No more doctored bull crap with PR diarrhea trying to sell the game show us with a controller in your hand instead of making empty promises.

Rant over.

Cacabunga1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Lightning

I will never forget the pre-e3 one year where Kojima was teasing MGS Rising.. and Peace Walker.

Such an incredible period where studios enjoyed what they were doing and teasing their work weeks before the event.

Nowadays is half baked games, cross gen titles, useless mid gen upgrades. There is no hype anymore.
Last great show I remember is the PS EXPERIENCE maybe 3 or 4 years ago in December

gleepot1d 6h ago

Maybe it's because Keighley sucks and never puts on good showcases.

Lightning771d 5h ago

They aren't geoffs games he's not makin it. Though you're half right, he has the stage and events and controls the pace, how the games are shown and presented. If I was him I would have devs have real gameplay with a stage like how E3 used to be.

No more of this curated pre done footage that we've had in the past 4 years.

Actually before that they've been doing that format for awhile. Cyber Punk being the biggest culprit of that format because you can easily deceive and lie to ppl.

Yeah Geoff is half to blame

isarai1d 10h ago

Is it just me or is there little to no buzz or marketing leading up to this compared to previous SGF?

monkey6021d 6h ago

Because they've been consistently boring for the last couple of years. Hard to get worked up for it now

bRuud831d 7h ago

Where is Sony? Still no news about the next Playstation showcase.

1d 7h ago
Lightning771d 4h ago

Hopefully early next week at this point they are signed to SGF so they'll be there.

I also said in another post it's rumored to be a State Of Play now. The only AAA's I can see being announced now is Ghost 2 and Bends New game.

I can't see Santa Monica's New IP or ND New IP being announced. I can see GG being there announcing leggo Horizon, Zero Dawn remake or remaster, maybe the LS horizon game.

Skuletor1d 4h ago

After the way they rudely hurried people off the stage at The Game Awards, I won't bother watching any of the streams for this. I'll just checkout out a few game trailers on Youtube after they're uploaded there.
