Sony and Montreal-based developer Minority have rolled out another trailer for their upcoming PlayStation Network exclusive Papo & Yo just in time for E3. The video centers around platforming and puzzles whilst showcasing the game's rich environments, modeled after the favelas of creator Vander Caballero's native South America.

The story of Papo and Yo follows the adventures of protagonist Quico and his duplicitous companion, a monster who seems to have a penchant for eating frogs that send him into violent fits of rage. A metaphor for Caballero's relationship with his alcoholic and abusive father, Minority hopes that the deeper themes present in Papo & Yo will resonate with players when the game becomes available for Vita and PS3 later this year.

Meh. Seems a bit too..... not exactly generic....

Well, I can't really think up a word for it, quite.

Let's just say nothing really sticks out and "wows" me.

Unique is what your looking for? You must be either as blind as my browneye or a fucking fanboy.

Max-

Looks like a Max Payne rip-off.

GEE I GUESS SO

:/

It just seemed a montage of things that probably would get me interested, but I've seen before. The jetpack was kinda kooky, I suppose.

I also wish the trailer made a bit more sense. Like... what's going on here? I need to play the game, first.

And I never said it wasn't unique, but then again not exactly new to me either.

That was quite underwhelming. It doesn't look like this game will be anything above mediocre. Maybe once they show the monster interactions I'll be interested.

I am completely confused by the comments left before me.

I am so excite for this awesome little metaphorical adventure. The way it looks, the premise, it all reminds me of something Team Ico would conjure up.

Speaking of Team Ico. WHERE THE FUCK IS LAST GUARDIAN.

Another foreign game/movie/cultural product that will make another plastic and artificial representation of brazilian culture?

The article states that the game's creator is a native.

Yep, another commenter seemingly without the ability to read and/or comprehend and thus makes himself look like a fucking moron.

Dude... This is totally just a rip-off of that one call of duty level from MW2, bro.

Hey dick head. Read much?

Good lord, the amount of idiot comments in this thread is mind-boggling. Did something happen to the world whilst I was sleeping, or something? Anyway, this game looks pretty awesome (though this trailer admittedly isn't the best representation of it), so if the reviews are good I'll probably be getting it.

It isn't a puzzle if all you have to do is push a button. Tossing your robot over the the button or being a cool 3D glowing graffiti gear doesn't change the back that they're simple buttons. It has some neat visuals but I'm gonna need to see a lot more this trailer offers to be interested.

Radox Redux: I'm also guessing the trailer doesn't do the game justice. The description sounds a lot more interesting.

ScrappyDoo

Doesn't looks very good.

Timtoid

Interesting and imaginative... will keep my eye on this. Just hope they buff the graphics... (although I'm sure this is a very early build.)

So cool! Inception, Xenoclash, Lord of the Flies, Of Mice and Men, so many influences! Should be a cool game.
