They used Unreal Engine for this. Since it is a small crew and they basically bought an engine I doubt they can squeeze much out of the machine.

was this ever confirmed? even if, ue3.5 should run a lot better on a ps4.
Fairly sure they said they didn't use Unreal. All the talk about it was only from the Feb reveal and I don;t even know where they got that from.

do you have a link? Everything I have seen said they were using unreal. I could've sworn that Cerny mentioned it in an interview too

hmm looks like it hasn't been confirmed.
Not able to find anything other than Nirolak saying that Eurogamer, who were the first to report that Knack used UE4, were wrong. That comment was 11 days ago.
Also, I've watched and read everything about Cerny and Knack I think, and never heard UE4 mentioned.

Thanks for your input, welcome to the official topic for the game of the launch.

I think Nirolak pointed out that this was a mistake from Eurogamer (?) that quickly spread the misconception.
Google brought me this link

Perhaps you could spend some time look at some of the newer media released for this game.
You're completely right, honestly I keep flipping on both sides of the fence on whether or not to buy this game just because the gameplay has not interested me in the slightest. At the same time I want to give it a chance, but I think it has PS+ free game written all over it so I might just wait.
We've seen clips from videos now showcasing platforming that is actually remarkably similar to Crash. Almost seems ripped wholesale at points, actually.
I am just wondering as to how it's balanced within the game. Will it be 80% combat, 20% platforming? Or 40% platforming and 60% combat? Etc

I guess some of the similarities is less about it being designed exactly like Crash and more that it has a simple control scheme that can still bring variety, difficulty (and hopefully depth) to the gameplay. The timing is less concerened with traversal/jumping from platforms and over obstacles, and has more to do with tackling different kind of enemies. I haven't played Crash since the first one was released on psx but dealing with enemies wasn't really a big part of it? Basically a spin move and that's it afaik.
I played both Spyro and Crash as a kid and enjoyed them quite a bit but I never felt they were LEGENDARY, just great 3D platformers. I expect to enjoy this in a similar way.

I am late into this thread...has it been confirmed about the frame rate issues and/or what frame rate the game runs at?
I only have KillZone currently and am looking for a 2nd game for the PS4 and I have been looking at Knack because between the PS4 and my Xbox One games, it will be something completely different.

Can't wait, already unlocked tons of items in the Knack's Quest app
is there a release date for the android version? last week they just said "soon".

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Ok, the GIF's of the various environments are starting to get me to be more optimistic about purchasing this game. Like I said before I enjoy the 3D platforming genre and want to support a game that's not dudebro shooter 4.
The scales are starting to tip. Will almost assuredly be my freebie with buy 2 get 1 now.

Wow, environmental detail is really coming along, looks ready for release. And that bottom one is classic Crash Bandicoot style stuff lol. Love that.
I will have fun with this.

I actually think this game looks really beautiful, and I'm excited by the story aspect. But I guess I just really want a game with an interesting story for launch
Honestly I also surprised about the price. From the small dev team and the fact that even Cerny says it's a secondary purchase plus the clear target of being the "everyone" game, I was sure $40 was going to be the price.

Haters can suck on a piece of Knack, This is my launch game.

I don't know what those people are talking about who say the game doesn't look good. The lighting alone is next-gen stuff, I've thought that since I first laid eyes on it at the PS4 reveal.
This was the first PS4 game most of us ever saw. It will always have a special place just for that. And it'll probably be the first game I actually play on the system for the same reason, even though I'll have other games I'm more "interested" in playing long-term.

I'm actually more excited for my purchase of Knack then Killzone. Crazy... I know but in Cerny I trust.

People probably got confused because they weren't paying attention when Cerny was showing the Unreal Engine 4 tech just before unveiling knack.

Same here. I just got back from Target with both. It's been the launch game I've anticipated most since February 20, and now these gifs and the latest video look even better than I expected.
I'll probably get more hours of fun from Killzone, but Knack is going to be the first disc to defile my precious console's BD drive.
I think more GOW. No world map.
I tried Knack around a week ago in a local convention. It looked passable, nothing mindblowing, but it was clear that PS3 couldn't run this. The evinronments themselves looked realy bland, tough.
From the little I tried, gameplay was pretty fun. Evading enemy attacks felt natural with the analog stick (vers. Ryse's buttonmashing dodge roll). And yeah, I got killed with 2-3 hits (have no idea what difficulty I was playing with x)).
Probably buying this along with PS4, but only because it's launch title.

The new GIFS of the game give me a lot of hope that this game will be pretty good.
The co-op trailer looks REALLY FUN too.
The recent store demo is just an E3 build? This latest footage looks massively improved.

Looks incredible, but then I always knew it would be a great game....
There's this:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=64289071OFFICIAL CORRECTION:
Knack is not a UE title. This mistake is purely my own. (Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Tina, I'm sorry that I was incorrect.
If you see anywhere that lists it as a UE title, know that it was probably just a mistake created in the hubub of the Sony Press Event that has trickled through E3.
