When comparing the two on metacritic, Knack has an average review score of 54, while The Order 1886 has one of 63. Of course one could argue that Knack came out about three years ago, while The Order 1886 is soon to hit just two years and therefore Knack deserves a sequel first

Spoiler

(I guess).

I, personally, would love to see a sequel with a greatly expanded campaign and options such as co-op and a horde mode, but seeing as everyone was bashing the game just because it was short, really was unfortunate. I guess if it released at a $40 price tag rather than full price it would have been more well received.

Just wanted to know all of your thoughts on if there should be a sequel and if so, when and what is your wishlist?

This is not to trash on Knack or anything because that game is more than competent on it's own and I have certainly have had a lot of fun with it.

EDIT: Seems like Cerny

Spoiler

and money

are the driving forces behind Knack 2.

EDIT 2: Can't really find any real sales figures for either game. I mean there is the dreaded site that we shall not mention

Spoiler

(chartz)

that has them tied at 1.73 million copies sold. According to that, there are really low sales in Japan for The Order compared to Knack (not surprised).

EDIT 3: Budget was a heck of a lot less for Knack, but don't they still have the assets for The Order?

 

[Illucio]

Knack is god level gaming, don't compared the shit order with the godly Knack.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Never

There is no Mark Cerny at Ready At Dawn

 

[purseowner]

The Order 1886 is not directed by Mark Cerny.

It's not happening.

 

[plasmawave]

In tomorrow's famitsu magazine...

 

[RichiRamjag]

Knack is god level gaming, don't compared the shit order with the godly Knack.

Damn right it is!

 

[Kinyou]

I wouldn't be surprised if a big reason for Knack 2 is to keep Mark Cerny happy. Ready at dawn doesn't get such benefits.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Didn't Knack outsell The Order by, like, a lot?

 

[Gorillaz]

I can't believe gaf tricked Sony into believing people liked knack and wanted a sequel

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Ones made by a 1st party studio tho. Would they work with Ready at dawn again

 

[Chobel]

Knack sucked but it sold well, The Order 1886 just sucked.

 

[Psychoward]

Hopefully never.

 

[Rymuth]

Knack sold over 300k copies in Japan alone

Does The Order have that kind of selling power?

 

[KazenY2J]

.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Yeah now that fucking Knack got a sequel, the only reason The Order will not get a sequel is because it's too expensive compared to Churning out Knack.

Didn't Knack outsell The Order by, like, a lot?

Knack was massively bundled.

 

[Randdalf]

Knack 2 is probably much cheaper and less risky to develop than The Order 1887.

 

[fritzo]

The Order was honestly one of the prettiest games Ive ever played. I wish it had better gameplay and was longer. Im down for a sequel.

 

[SpaceWolf]

EDIT: My reading comprehension needs work.

 

[Creaking]

Didn't Knack outsell The Order by, like, a lot?

Plus it had to have been much cheaper to make.

Story set in Nazi occupied United States with Anya and BJ as dual protagonists. Co-op mode too.

Let's go.

TNO: 1887?

Robo werewolves. I can dig it.

 

[Possumowner]

Not gonna happen....at least I doubt it

 

[NewDust]

Well RAD isn't doing it, it's Sony's IP. I can't see any other internal studio touching this with a ten foot pole.

So it's not going to happen.

Funnily enough I enjoyed both games quite a bit.

 

[Jigorath]

Hey nobody's asking for The Order on PS+.

Knack > The Order

 

[-Horizon-]

The Order doesn't have a gif that is spammed in threads yet.

Start there first and then we'll talk sequel.

 

[BY2K]

People didn't ironically like that one enough to make it happen.

 

[napata]

When comparing the two on metacritic, Knack has an average review score of 54, while The Order 1886 has one of 63.

What does this have to do with getting a sequel? Sales determine whether a game gets a sequel, not scores on metacritic.

The reason you're not getting a sequel is because it didn't sell.

 

[Data West]

I would guess Knack 2 is a much cheaper sequel to greenlight than an Order sequel

 

[Shambalakan]

I don't think We can compare budget of Knack and The Order. So maybe never.

 

[shinobi602]

It's dead, let it go my son.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Still believe that The Order: 1887 is Ready At Dawn's third game in development. E3 2017 baby!!! Believe!!!

I enjoyed Knack for what it was (6/10) but enjoyed The Order: 1886 more (8/10) and would much rather play a sequel to The Order over Knack.

 

[120v]

i think sony's just trying to cover their appeal to "the younger crowd"... they already have an idle IP, so why not dust it off.

i don't think the response to the first game is relevant here. launch game, most early adopters being 20-30 somethings

 

[Lebneney]

It's dead, let it go my son.

 

[ethomaz]

Knack >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Order

One deserves sequel... the other not.

 

[Acquiescence]

The Order might have been flawed in a myriad of ways, but that's still a sequel I actually want.

Knack was just shit and deserves to be forgotten about. Knack 2 is going to flop like a motherfucker, mark my words. It won't have a console launch to save it this time.

 

[jett]

Only one unnecessary piece of trash at a time, yo.

 

[DMONKUMA]

I mean I'm surprise that they wanted to continue on a joke and now you want them to make a bigger pile of shit?

No pls.

 

[Zeuanimals]

I think The Order sold less. I'm also pretty sure it cost more. Not a good combination.

 

[Movalpolos]

Knack sold better I'm pretty sure. The Order does deserve a sequel though. Game felt like the first chapter of a much bigger and deeper world. I would definitely want gameplay changes.

 

[brickarts295]

Same visuals, more gameplay, less QTEs and a longer story. It cant get any easier for them.

 

[Outrun]

Knack is god level gaming, don't compared the shit order with the godly Knack.

Hahaha,

Make it happen GAF.

 

[Movalpolos]

Knack is god level gaming, don't compared the shit order with the godly Knack.

Well at least the sequel looks like it's more fun than SM3DW.

 

[Servbot24]

As much as we joke about Knack, I honestly have an easier time picturing a worthwhile sequel for it over The Order

 

[Markoman]

Hm, so Knack is really good? Brb, buying the game now. Gaf, don't dissapoint me.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

How much do you think knack cost vs what it sold?

How much do you think the order cost compared to how it bombed?

 

[Ridley327]

The Order looked like and likely was an incredibly expensive game compared to Knack. There's not a lot of business sense for Sony to bring it back when they've already got the big cinematic shooter game on lockdown with Naughty Dog. There's really no one that's going to be disappointed by its non-starter status, unless you really believe that Underworld: Victorian Edition is the bee's knees.

 

[Surface of Me]

You'll get it in "Knack 3: Knacks through Time" in the 1886 level.

 

[Kouriozan]

Heard Knack outsold the last 3D Mario!!
It's obvious it was going to have a sequel!

 

[Nicky Ali]

With Knack 2 being announced, should Nintendo reconsider the Switch?


only 90's kids will get this reference

 

[Ricky_R]

I mean, I like The Order as much as the guy next to the guy next to the other guy, but we're talking about the sequel to the GOTG here.

 

[Syntsui]

Knack was a success, The Order wasn't.

 

[Data West]

They got a backup plan

Nintendo secretly secured the rights to the next Gex.
