Loving it

Knack looks gorgeous. I knew I was going to buy this game when I first saw it but this here just cements that.

 

[Binabik15]

I'm getting the game.

I hope it is good. I hope I will enjoy it if it's good, even though I'm not too hot about the genre. I'm not expecting graphical or performance miracles from Sony Japan, though.

But hey, couch co-op and even Vita second screen co-op.

 

[Revoh]

Bought it.

 

[Sum-Mischief]

My change of pace game ... Im going to love it.

 

[RoboPlato]

Getting this with the Amazon B2G1. Not too excited for it but more than willing to give it a fair shot for free.

 

[LingeringRegime]

I think this game is far deeper than people give it credit for, can't wait to play it.

 

[NIGHT-]

I'm really hoping this turns out ok. I really wanna like this and support more games like it on PS4

Same here. Heading to target on Tuesday to get KZ, NFS and Knack.

 

[Pumpkincutter]

hope it's on sale when i get the ps.

 

[Deap92x]

I just played the game for a second time and I totally disagree with those people who claim this game looks like a PS3 game. The gameplay it's nothing we haven't seen, it reminds me to god of war but obviously withouth that kind of violence.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

To all the haters out there, kids love this game. I saw a little kid lose her shit playing it at best buy

 

[comedian]

Pre ordered this, can't wait...... 'till the 29th :'(

I was playing around in the GameStop kiosk demo and got the last piece of a relic. Now whenever Knack beats someone they drop that Sunstone stuff that charges his special moves. VERY nice. Charged his special abilities much faster and was able to use it multiple times.

Whenever I did the tornado I heard a few woah's behind me lol. The special abilities are actually real nice. Especially when his pieces all come back together. Very nice effects. Can't wait to see the final product and not just this E3 build.

It's nice that people are making gifs of pretty parts of the footage available, but how about some that showcases interesting combat? There's gotta be some footage of that somewhere, no?

 

[exostar]

I think Knack's sales just doubled because of the Target and Amazon sales today.

I think a lot of people are going to be happily surprised with Knack.

 

[Jarsonot]

Both Killzone and BF4 have Vita Remote Play icon on the back of their boxes (and BF4 has a Interconnectivity PS4 - Vita icon (?)) but Knack doesn't.

Strange, no?

Strange, no?

I was in Best Buy over an hour ago, saw the box and also noticed no remote play icon. I haven't been following what features are a part of the game, but it would be odd that Knack, which was used to demo RP, doesn't allow remote play.

Seems like it was just a silly mistake as they've shown it off so much with the remote play feature.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Those GIFs sparkled my interest. Might buy now.

In that case, these may also be of interest to you:

I don't know how anyone can say that doesn't look "next-gen."

There's something about that level of ambient occlusion that I just haven't seen in a PS3 game.

Right, exactly what I'm thinking. I remember seeing a demo video showcasing remote play, with Knack as the game.

It's funny that a first-party game messes up it's official icons. (I'm guessing it is a screw-up, and that remote play is in)

 

[The Xtortionist]

Those gifs actually look really good to me.

Drawing my bath as we speak.

 

[Nick]

I just chose COD: Ghosts instead of this game for my Amazon buy 2 get 1 free game... I hope I won't regret that decision.

 

[TripOpt55]

Those gifs look pretty great. I guess I hadn't been keeping up with the game much lately.

 

[Everdred]

Add me to the additional sales because of the Amazon b2g1. Was always interested in the title but money was a little short. Can't wait to play it now.

 

[Prologue]

Was going to pick this up anyway but used amazon code too.

My lazy butt took the time to look up the question and yes it does still have remote play, though the icon is not present on the packaging.

"If you own a PS Vita, there’s of course Remote Play, which can even work in conjunction with our two-player co-op. "

This has probably been covered in this thread, but the RP icon was news to me as well. ;-)

Seeing some of the new (to me) animated gif's that Bundy and others have posted, I think it will be a launch title I will now purchase.

Yep me too, the amazon deal pushed me over the edge.

 

[tokyostomp]

I'm gonna go back to target and play until they kick me out. I need to get a better feel for this game. I think that the demo is limiting the true scope of the game though.

 

[Doffen]

Indeed.

Damn, Spyro rip

 

[petethepanda]

With all these B2G1 deals and Watch Doge and Driveclub out of the picture, looks like Knack is getting called up to the Launch Day big leagues. Preordered.

 

[xXBetter Off DadXx]

I just ordered this. The more I see, the more I think I'm really going to dig this.

Does anybody have a link to that video with the unintentionally hilarious commentary dialogue?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it.

 

[badnewsbeers]

I tried Knack around a week ago in a local convention. It looked passable, nothing mindblowing, but it was clear that PS3 couldn't run this. The evinronments themselves looked realy bland, tough.

From the little I tried, gameplay was pretty fun. Evading enemy attacks felt natural with the analog stick (vers. Ryse's buttonmashing dodge roll). And yeah, I got killed with 2-3 hits (have no idea what difficulty I was playing with x)).

Probably buying this along with PS4, but only because it's launch title.

That's what I noticed. Environments were lifeless. Really let down. Maybe the small fraction I saw doesn't represent the whole.

 

[bigboss370]

haha this reminds me of that awesome arena in Crash Bash!

 

[Dupy]

Those gifs look pretty neat. I was skeptical of this game but then I remembered that I actually enjoyed Kameo despite all its flaws so I'll give this a whirl. I need something to play on my PS4.

 

[Dragonborn]

Got it with the B1G1 offer. I was going to wait till it came to PS+, but egh, jumped on Knack and NFS. Basically, for 30 bucks each, not too bad.

 

[Dead Prince]

this is probably the only area where i liked so far. but then again i like everything but the city. it just looks so bland.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Bring it on! So ready for Knack. Also excited to just see the final build. According to Mortimer and others the game has come a really long way from that E3 build that is currently on kiosks, a demo that now may be approaching 8 months old at this point. Seeing that a team has to break off and create a playable demo 2-3 months before it is due.

Also feel like there is a lot to the game we have been intentionally been kept from seeing and that leaves me wanting to know just how deep and diverse Knack will ultimately be.

 

[Mumford]

Hopefully this will be in the bargain bin by the time I get my PS4. Looks interesting but not $60 interesting to me.

 

[VanWinkle]

Yup, I hate the city look. Everything else is "pretty good" to "great".

 

[Jagsrock]

The city reminds me of Spagonia from Sonic unleashed

In that case, these may also be of interest to you:

What video are these gifs from?

This game has taken a quantum leap since the E3 build everyone remembers.

Whoah man... mucho sabroso!!!

 

[brickarts295]

It's funny to think that this was the first next gen exclusive to be showed to the public.

That'd be the recently released co-op multiplayer trailer. It's pretty great, loads of footage.

Vaguely Japanified pseudo-Europe. I always love seeing it.

I think these will get some of you interested.

 

[Eusis]

Damn, Sypro rip

Skylanders is good, but it really would've been nice to have kept it separate from Spyro, I wonder how many kids even really notice/care about Spyro's prescence.

Ah well, it wouldn't matter much if Activision isn't inclined to make a reasonable arrangement with Sony anyway.

I forgot that Spyro was in Skylanders...wow.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Guys, guys, stop everything.

That's right, at least some of the enemies in Knack don't just fade away into nothingness once you've taken them out. These guys have some kind of sweet blue "beam me up" kinda thing going on.
