Sony didn't upload the trailer on any of their channels yet. Strange.

Thanks. Dunno how I couldn't find it before.
No quality over 1080p? First game didn't get PS4 PRO support and now this game hasn't any higher resolution quality for the video. Come on, Mark Cerny, it is your game on your console. Both games should support your new hardware.

Original Knack sold better than Mario 3D world in the UK. Knack 2 will probably shit on the Switch mario.

That's what I love about Knack. All the characters are unapologetic pricks.
It goes against the grain of the typical "sunshine and lolipops" cartoon.

The original is not shit. It's good fun.

Didn't care about the first game and I don't really have any interest in trying out the sequel, but looking at the trailer it does look better.
I guess this is what people wanted, so I hope you guys enjoy it.
Oh god.

This shit better not be too long and have more gameplay variety. First one was okay but was too long and repetitive.

now that TLG is done the artist of the Team Ico series can do what they truly inspire for

All jokes aside, this actually improves on everything that was problematic with the original.
Includes far more complicated and challenging platforming, a deeper combo set, and a more dynamic and frequent transformation system to jump from small Knack to big Knack.
AND proper co-op??
I'm legit hyped.

Gameplay for video makes it look nearly 1:1 to Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Knack is great. Had a blast going through the game at Hard difficulty.
Haters gonna hate.
I think the biggest reason Knack gets so much hate is because it was a launch title. People bought it because they had nothing else to play with their shiny new PS4, including people who would have never bothered about this game otherwise because it's not their kind of game.

No sarcasm, this actually looks pretty good to me.
I was surprised to see this during the show, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not looking forward to it now.
Incorrect. It gets hate because the game is an awful boring slog with zero things to like in it as well as the meme that such a bad game was once touted as a compelling game for the new console.
Not because it was a launch title.

Knack was a new originally IP from the makers of truly original content on PS3 like Tokyo Jungle and Journey which fought against a Mario 3D World, which was based on a handheld game.
They battled hard and Knack won, innovation wins

People groan and laugh now, but I bet this game gets a respectable 78 MC score when it releases. KNACK IS BACK, BITCHES.

Seriously, how many of the people posting 'yuk, how /why did this game get the greenlight' type comments, actually played the game? It feels like quite a few are judging the first by Metacritic and it's reputation rather than first hand experience.
I gave the first game a pass but I can totally believe that a lot of people (probably in the minority) genuinely enjoyed the game. I have no problem Sony giving the franchise another go especially when the trailer of the game looked pretty appealing to me.

I think the only reason it gets any love is because it's a launch title, otherwise it would be overshadowed by much better, similar games.

I really think most of us really played it. That said, just because the first game was a steaming pile of manure doesn't mean this one will be. I really believe they will turn it around and fix the problems of the first game.

Good point.

If it was some no name developer than they should absolutely have another crack at it.
But this is Japan Studio and they should be working on Ape Escape 4
People need to stop trying to rationalise this. I don't finish games that I don't enjoy, and I've played Knack more than once. It's got nothing to do with being a launch game, and it doesn't mean I don't like other games more than I like Knack.
Sometimes things that are weird or just not that good just click for people. It's the reason why cult classics are a thing.
