It could be a good game but they need to totally revamp it. The idea of a transformable main character is a good one but they did nothing with it in the original and just made a bad god of war clone.

 

[DeepEnigma]

SONY HAS KNACKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!

 

[Oversoul]

Metroid Federation Force is nothing compared to this announcement. NOTHING.

Can't wait for the petition to cancel this.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Yeah I'm glad I don't have to feel an obligation to buy what will likely be a solid 4/10 bomb.

But I mean, Knack Army strong right? Enjoy your game or something

No like seriously some of you are way to angry right now.

 

[Camjo-Z]

I saw someone in another Knack thread make a suggestion that I think would be really great for Knack 2. Knack should, at random times, make knack-related wordplay (ex: "You've got me knackered, Doc"), turn to the camera, and wink as a canned laugh track plays. No other characters will notice or acknowledge this, and gameplay continues as normal.

 

[Acquiescence]

My soul will die the day this is announced at E3 and people in the crowd cheer for it.

 

[prwxv3]

Glorious. Loved the first one. The game is not a platformer its a brawler with emphasise on learning enemy paterns and having tight reflexes. Hard mode in the original game was glorious. Hope the second game has better performace and checkpoints though.

 

[Wabba]

Knack II can be good, liked the first game. It was not great but with a tighter script and more advanced gameplay this can be really good.

[Katana_Strikes]

I refuse to believe anyone genuinely enjoyed the first game. I don't know why people would lie about having fun with it but they are.

I genuinely enjoyed it

Hope the news is true.

Hahaha, the Knack gets them in all the feels.

As for your punishment, GAF, I hope you get Knack II instead of a new Crash Bandicoot.

This is the monkeys paw of video games - be careful what you ask for!

 

[Alienous]

I knew Cerny had a secret agenda.

I'm looking forward to Kojima's Knack 2.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I genuinely enjoyed it

Hope the news is true.

A man with a onepiece avatar tells no lies.

 

[Tizoc]

Sequels can be better than their predecessor games.
That's all I hope for with this game, even it becomes an actual true platformer as opposed to the linear action game that the first Knack was.

 

[LyleLanley]

I genuinely enjoyed it

Hope the news is true.

No you didn't.

 

[Oversoul]

I'm also not a big GoW fan but it plays like goddamn Devil May Cry compared to Knack.

Even Mario 64 is Bayonetta compared to Knack.

 

[neurosyphilis]

I would rather the developer to work on something else than Knack 2. So hopefully this is false. No one talks about Knack outside of Neogaf and a few other hardcore forums.

You obviously know jack shit of Japan Studio, if you think a measly Knack 2 is all they're doing. Lmao.

 

[The Last One]

I knew Cerny had a secret agenda.

I'm looking forward to Kojima's Knack 2.

K has come to

 

[Seth]

Is Knack the new FF13 for gaf? Popular to hate it?

Both were good games.

 

[prwxv3]

I don't know why this is casing so much butthurt. It's probably a pretty cheap game to make it won't stop other games from being developed.

 

[Oversoul]

Knack sure had some pretty hallways.

 

[Lemondish]

No like seriously some of you are way to angry right now.

This response these people have is confusing. Confusing like how ice Knack is still so slippery on ice in chapter 3.

 

[Transistor]

Knack wasn't near as bad as people make it out to be

 

[The Last One]

Lightning confirmed in Knack II for extreme salty levels.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'm happy about this. I think you could see a huge step up from the first game.

 

[NastyBook]

The first game is $8 on PSN via Flash Sale. Let's speed along the sequel's development, yeah?

 

[SDCowboy]

One of the worst character designs of all time. Why would they bring it back?

Just make a new damn Ape Escape game!!!

Isn't Knack technically just the blue orb? If so, couldn't he look completely different in knack 2?

 

[Slime]

Maybe a sequel would actually take inspiration from PS1 platformers. I don't know what Cerny was talking about when he said it was inspired by Crash and Spyro. Maybe visually, kinda? Certainly not gameplay. It just felt like an arcadey God of War.

Spoiler

I thought it was fun

 

[Zach]

I bet my son and I will play it. We enjoyed playing though Knack. Didn't buy it, though; borrowed it from a friend.

The new Kojima game is PS4 only confirmed.

I hope devs read this

Knack's design is barely decent at best and it's best to change it.

 

[ArchAngel]

YES! Loved the first one, never understood the hate. Day 1!

 

[Warxard]

Even Mario 64 is Bayonetta compared to Knack.

Skylanders games play like Revengeance in comparison to Knack

 

[Seth]

Lightning confirmed in Knack II for extreme salty levels.

This would be my dream come true.

 

[farisr]

Even Mario 64 is Bayonetta compared to Knack.

Only someone who hasn't played the game at all, or possibly played it on easy would say this. I'm going to assume the former.

 

[Verendus]

[DancingNalwood]

I liked Knack. I hope the sequel (if true) lives up to its potential. Give us more control over the type/size we are and some actual platforming, that's all I ask.

 

[LyleLanley]

Knack wasn't near as bad as people make it out to be

It was worse.

 

[GeoramA]

Hope they close the E3 conference with this, lol.

 

[Norci7]

PS4 killer app incoming.

Everytime Knack isn't on screen everyone should ask "Where is Knack?"

Knack on harder difficulties will kick your ass. The only frustrating thing are the bad checkpoint placements.

Yup, they completely botched the initial idea of playing at various sizes by forcing you to be certain sizes throughout the regular levels (it's understandable they'd want you to be certain size for the boss fights). Opening up the level design, or designing them in a way that allows you to go through them in different ways depending on what size you are/choose would do the game wonders.

Also, they need to work on the fun factor of playing as big knack.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So what are the chances this is the codename for the new Crash Bandicoot?
