I wanted to like this game but that gameplay does look boring. It's like GoW meets Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack but less fun. I wish it'd have combat a la Guacamelee that was varied and challenging

Definitely interested in this after watching that. Reminds me of Ratchet & Clank.

It's because Cerny won't stop bringing up Crash whenever he's talking about it.

Ahh. Well he should probably stop doing that lol.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

One minute in and I'm already more impressed than the E3 City build we saw. I just wish enemies and the destruction wouldn't disappear.
YouTube is no better these days.

the game looks much more polished compered to the e3 demo. I guess the final version will be most impressive

Hey, this actually looks good now!!
I do think though, the main character is what really does kill it. He's just no Jak or Ratchet.
Apparently Knack talks too.
Gameplay is good, hoping there is nice replayability with secret areas/size. I may actually have to get this, though I'm too broke for a day one purchase

Agreed much prefer the other environments

other than the empty city environment and rapidly disappearing bodies, this looks to be coming together nicely. I'm keeping my pre-order.

Loving the look of that. Might have to save up for launch :O

Some of the environments look really nice but all the plants seem to have super glue. Knack walks through the grass but the grass doesn't move.
I also hope they improve the transitions. I think the "instant fade out" when you beat chapter to chapter hurts its presentation. Maybe a little introductory card could help this.

Yeah some more running people and fires and such would bring it to life.

This proved that they didn't choose the right footages before to show to us about this game.... Because this one showed some potential and was really good.
Will defintly keep an eye on Knack.. Again

Man that looks like a lot of fun. Much improved over E3.
Also... it's 30 FPS. Meltdowns incoming. Launch games are rushed. News at 11.

It looks pretty cool. I'm sure it's gonna look amazing in person. His character design isn't exactly stellar, but it's different enough to be recognizable at least.
That seems to be a trend we're seeing.
And people were mocked for saying that games shouldn't be judged based on their E3 builds...
I just hope we have similar monster counts on screen. Kameo had some unforgettable moments.
Its the opposite for me tbh.

Starting to get the feeling I really underestimated some of these exclusive launch titles. But actually, both Killzone and Knack look pretty damn impressive to me.

yea I don't like the disappearing bodies and debris. with so much ram, those things should stay in the environment forever
The mechanic where the co-op buddy can offer parts to help Knack is really smart. Great way to have two players with different skill levels have a good time in the same game. It will be a good feature to have when playing with my younger daughter, or when the two kids are playing together.
Knack is officially on my radar.

That co-op mode sounds very, very nice. Real smart.

An idea on how the builds are progressing (shitty compressed off-cam footage aside):
Lots more shrubbery and overall objects in the stage, so that's good. The disappearing bodies thing is still horrible. Debris and enemies should stay on screen, at the very least until you leave the area, come on now.

PS4's Ryse without the good graphics
Makes NO sense.
I dont really dont get the constant comparisons of 2 completely different games.
Yeah... IGN has been in the business for ages and STILL does not know or care how to properly shoot off-screen videos.
Nice comparison! Definitely an improvement. Gives hope that it'll look even better by launch.

Love how lush the whole environment feels. It's not groundbreaking, but there's something about the pallete and the smoothness of the whole thing that feels vibrant.
The game won't win any awards, but it looks fun. Hope the co-op is good.

Looks much improved over the E3 footage graphically speaking. The world looks very rich and colourful, and the inside of the cave had some nice lighting and textures going on. Still not sold on the gameplay, but maybe one to pick up when I'm bored if it goes cheap. Will wait to see how it reviews, only because I've read it's quite story based, which might help the game a lot.
