No PS4 Pro patch for the original masterpiece? What the fuck, Sony.

Spoiler

Why.

 

[msdstc]

because the first Game was pretty sucessfull for a new Ip & platformer - if they manage to improve the quality this time, it could be the next established franchises for families & kids alongside Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot etc.

It performed well, because it was a launch title when there wasn't much out there, not to mention it was bundled in a lot of places. It got panned hard by critics. It also has a crap story so unless they reboot it I don't see this catching on.

I said a few posts above I honestly didn't HATE knack like a lot of people did, but it's easy to see why, it's just a mess of a game. I'll probably end up getting this, but I feel like this is DOA.

 

[Ranger X]

Great! I liked Knack!

 

[Bunta]

I just saw the trailer. I thought it looked pretty cool, especially the co-op.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Poor JS.

 

[JustenP88]

Trailer looks cool but not looking forward to all the insufferable ironic shitposts. Most annoying gaming meme in a while.

It was patched.

Looks good.

Uhhh, but there is a patch I thought?

 

[harriet the spy]

I need to know. GAF-knack fanboys. Did you actually like the game? Or was this just a meme.

 

[Baroquemantic]

The gameplay actually looked really damn fun to me. And the visuals are amazing. Got that CG vibe like Ratchet.

 

[Cody_D165]

Will be looking forward to videogamedonkey's video

oh but it's already here.

 

[marmoka]

Game's final title has been leaked:

Knack 2: Knack Knack Knacking on Heaven's Door

 

[Caronte]

It was patched.

Uhhh, but there is a patch I thought?

Oh, sorry my bad. Carry on.

 

[Creamium]

I need to know. GAF-knack fanboys. Did you actually like the game? Or was this just a meme.

I like the game for real. Gameplay is pretty simplistic but it's challenging and fun on harder difficulties.

 

[dottme]

People can't be happy for the old IP being resurrected, for more prominence for Japanese games, for their particular favourite being shown. No, they have to spend time in a thread about a game they don't care about, being pointlessly and unconstructively negative about it.

Yes. This thread is impressive. But, as a person who did like the original Knack, I'm waiting to see more about Knack 2.
From the trailer, it looks like they have added a lot of move and possibilities.

 

[plake]

Came for this thread, GAF did not disappoint. I chuckled when I saw the news lol. GOTG boys.

 

[Raylan]

Footage shows vast improvements over the original shit game.
Quite interested in it atm.

Put the official trailer of the GAME OF THE GENERATION int he OP:

The budget for this game is not going too be not even close to the originals already modest budget. That is why its getting made. And who cares there are so many other games if you don't like knack.

 

[Skux]

This looks fun. After all these realistic shooters and cinematic RPGs it's always nice to enjoy some classic platforming.

 

[Endo Punk]

Holy shit it actually happened 😂 I can't believe it. I will never doubt anything again.

 

[MrBadger]

Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.

 

[Hexa]

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP
Go Knack!

 

[Disxo]

Lmao, second worst game ever confirmed

 

[Big Green Anus]

I secretly enjoyed Knack. Well, aside from the TERRIBLE FRAME-RATE. I really hope they fix that for this sequel. Dead serious.

I always liked you.

 

[msdstc]

I'm saying it's bizarre that this universally panned game is getting a sequel. It's a waste of resources, I'm allowed to say this on a forum discussing video games. Sorry if that pisses you off. I'm also excited for plenty of other games, but I still think this is a pointless sequel that pretty much nobody (in all seriousness) wanted outside of some random meme.

 

[harriet the spy]

But do you feel like it's gotg as I often read on GAF?

 

[Oersted]

Knack, Crash, PaRappa, LocoRoco, and Patapon


Of course Knack is the only one out of those that gets a sequel

 

[Fhtagn]

I always believed there would be a Knack 2.

 

[Big Green Anus]

I need to know. GAF-knack fanboys. Did you actually like the game? Or was this just a meme.

Playing Knack on harder difficulties transformes the game into a Dark Souls kind of game in terms of mechanics. One the best PS4 exclusives and games this gen.

 

[Ramsiege]

I'm infinitely more excited for Knack 2 than I am Last of Us 2.

Spoiler

Not joking at all.

I've always said it - its the Dark Souls of Lego combat.

Hapoy to see more sane people on here!

Knack did get a PS4 Pro patch.

O get over yourself. Alot of u have a i dont like thing,nobody should mentality

 

[msdstc]

This comparison is weak since souls games have a fully fleshed out combat and weapon system, where knack had a handful of moves. I always thought the knack difficulty was overrated.

Ratchet and Clank just came out this year and wasn't shit.

 

[msdstc]

LOL and you clearly have a "I love thing and if you don't shut up!" mentality. I don't care if people are excited for it, but read through the thread and the majority of people are just chuckling that this even happened. It's a misread big time of the reception of the original game.

 

[KidGalactus]

is there still time to get this game changed to anything but Knack?

 

[Loudninja]

So awesome.

 

[Psychoward]

O get over yourself. Alot of u have a i dont like thing,nobody should mentality

More like "a lot of people don't like thing, why is thing getting a sequel when there are other, better things that could be made"

Or its something they wanted to give another try. Companies dont live in an Internet bubble

 

[Dargor]

This is awesome!

 

[MillionStabs]

ITS KNACK BAYBEEEEE

Unfortunately, Knack 2 would go on to sell only 4 copies because it was the second worst game ever made

 

[msdstc]

Or its something they wanted to give another try. Companies dont live in an Internet bubble

No they live in a financial sense bubble, and this makes none. As stated above the "good" sales were a result of bundles and being a launch title. There is little to no actual traction for this game.

 

[ScatheZombie]

Day. Fucking. One.

"Stating" something repeatedly doesn't make it more true.

 

[NewDust]

It is. People sometimes say it's a 3d beat 'em up, but I think a dodge 'em up would better describe it. If you go in to Knack button mashing your way through it, you are goung to have a bad time, if you are even somewhat more methodical it can be quite fun.

 

[Creamium]

But do you feel like it's gotg as I often read on GAF?

yes, definitely

Spoiler

no

 

[Jinfash]

I'm not mad that this exists, but I wonder if Knack's memefied status may have falsely given an impression of demand, and somehow contributed to this game being green-lighted.

Then again, based on pure numbers, the first game did well.
