Please just make it a proper platformer and all will be right with the world.

Awesome, they can build so much more off of the first one.
Can you actually ruin a Knack thread tho?
It has a fixed third person camera with often terrible camera angles therefore is identical to crash.

Please, Overlord Sony, please grant me my dreams this year!
If they popped out a Crash, an Ape Escape, and Ratchet in one year I'd cry and never doubt them again. Even if the Crash game is by Activision and Sony just funds it or oversees it.
Uh... it's a third person game! And... you can jump!! Uh... uh... and if you move the analog really fast, Knack spins!!!

100% agreed. Still one of the best games this generation so far for me.
I'd actually probably guess the opposite.

Yeah its probably Ape Escape
On top of it being the year of the monkey
First time I've seen this. They've hinted at Ape Escape on their Twitter account before.
I played a demo for Knack at Gamestop once. It literally felt like torture. The fucking thing just never ended. It was the least fun I have ever had playing a video game. I actually got angry at how little fun I was having. Knack II needs to practically be a completely different game to catch my interest.

Pretty much. lol Crash is a pure action platformer whereas Knack is a corridor beat 'em up with the occasional jump up to another ledge.

Knack 2: Electric Boogaloo
LOL the salt is real in this thread

Man, you must absolutely despise this generation so far.
Successful? If it was, only because it launched on the back of a weak exclusive launch line up which Yoshida was responsible for and it was bundled in Japan.
Yoshida is doing a terrible job. He is lucky that his Twitter persona is somewhat likable and the rest of SCE did a good job with designing and marketing the PS4.

It's not irrational when I hear multiple people besides me complain about the sluggish to stiff feeling gameplay and mediocre controls but, yeah it's irrational.

Well that's not like Crash at all... unless you're backtracking in THOSE levels. The camera's fine for the most part. I don't recall it being TOO terrible in Knack, but I realize this isn't the point you're trying to make anyways, so carry on.
Wat is terrible about the current announced games right now.

This guy gets it.
I hope it gets real splitscreen coop mode this time. While the coop was fun, it was pretty hard to play together with my son. We had a lot of fun with the first one though... just it could've been much better implemented. Seemed to be a last minute decision and just put on top of the actual game. Still better than none.^^
Hope sony will also consider a sequel for the order... this game just had so much wasted potential, it could be something really really great.

Honestly as much as I disliked the game, why not a second go but oh man oh man will they need a lot to fix the catastrophe of the first one. Like almost a reboot.
That big cinematic feel felt so out of place for a game that would certainly be more suited to a simple crash bandicoot or arcade approach. I would wager if they could ditch story, focus on better use of the "growth" mechanic and better platforming, as well as better performance (the original one really didn't run that well) I could potentially be...okay.
I don't think Knack as a franchise now has ever the chance of being better than okay so i'm also confused as to why they're even trying. First one poisoned the well. And while it's funny, I really don't get why people would even recommend or encourage a sequel to knack. Some stuff isn't worth saving

Its not thoigh, because it got very poor reviews and wprd of mouth was overwhelmingly negative.
I enjoyed the game to an extent when there was nothing to play except resogun. That being said it makes 0 sense to make a sequel.
