No demo.

Looks horrible, very pleased there will be a demo, if it's really great, I'll buy it.

Which is it?

 

[Loudninja]

Which is it?

The psblog said no demo.

It is pretty silly.

 

[GeoramA]

This and Resogun are the launch games that excite me the most. Because like Ryan said, I'm sick of the M-rated shit we've seen a million times before.

 

[Glorified G]

Lots more ram brings with it higher expectations I guess. I look forward to Bethesda's next Fallout or ES game. There's gonna be shit lying around everywhere.

Are you that guy narrating in the video?

trolls seem to just blink out of sight though. with maybe one or two transitional steps between there and gone.

 

[StuBurns]

Which is it?

Oh, it seems I was mistaken. There's at least not one at launch, who knows beyond that.

Yeah a little visual effect would be nice,sine all other enemies have them.

 

[UNCMark]

My name is Markus. Nice to meet you.

 

[isual]

seriously thinking of cancelling my amazon knack for the kz bundle instead.....

even though it's 50 bucks more expensive. Or if someone wants to trade my knack launch copy for killzone sf

 

[SRTtoZ]

This will be my 3rd game. KZSF, NBA2k14, Knack.

 

[crazygambit]

Oh, there's definitely some platforming. The Gamescom demo had a whole section that was loaded with it (conveyor belts, spikes, and lots of jumping). It definitely isn't the primary focus, however.

That's good to know. I still find it very hard to justify spending $60 on this, maybe once the price goes down (or it gets added to PS+)

It's up to you obviously, but I don't think Amazon has any bundles in stock anymore. Amazon US anyway.

 

[Afrodium]

That voice...

I have a feeling that the disappearing corpses is a design decision. The game is intended for a younger audience and leaving the corpses on the ground would make the game a lot darker. After a big battle the game would look like Hotline Miami.

I have both pre ordered.

 

[Frillen]

Looks really nice.

Will definitely get this game, i miss some old fashioned platforming.

You're still going to miss that if you play this game though.

 

[blackflag]

I have this preordered but I think I'm gonna cancel. It'll probably be free on psplus and it just doesn't look that exciting.

 

[Loudninja]

You're still going to miss that if you play this game though.

Cool I didn't know you already beat the game.

Hell I didnt know it was out.

 

[UNCMark]

I have both pre ordered.

You beautiful bastard.

Cool I didn't know you already beat the game.

Have you not seen the list of games that have been written off already?

Ryse, Drive Club, Knack, BF4 on console, NBA Live, Madden, Fifa isnt next gen enough etc. Long list. =)

 

[isual]

You beautiful bastard.

thanks. well, amazon had both kz and bf4 bundles up again 2 days ago, so I preorderd the killzone one because bf4 will be 29.99 at gamestop come black friday.

ps plus's will be 30 usd as well

 

[sono]

I enjoyed watching that IGN vid in 1080p, this game is definitely looking more impressive each time.

That's the day I'm going to feel stupid for buying 3 years of PS+ for 40 dollars a month last week. In my defense I had PS4 fever.

there's a lot of good games on sale.

xillia, dragons crown, ff14.

i'm not sure, but do they tax ps plus ? I'm thinking of buying 2-3. 2 definitely. if it is taxed, I need to budget my money accordingly then.

 

[Raven77]

I'm optimistically waiting for reviews on this. Please be a "9+" game. I so, so want this to surprise people with its greatness.

I doubt it,since the game is suppose to be hard with simple gameplay.

 

[Lunzio]

The complaint about the corpses is silly, but this has me more interested.

 

[Frillen]

Cool I didn't know you already beat the game.

Pretty sure I've seen zero footage of old fashioned platforming gameplay, and I've seen over 10 different videos of Knack since the February reveal. Knack is, for the most part, a beat-em up, which in no ways is a bad thing. I was just making a comment regarding old fashioned platforming.

 

[freezamite]

kinda like how freezamite watched a 5-min video and deduced it as beat-em-up?

ign person says it's an action-platformer.

Yes, and in that 5 minute video of gameplay I haven't seen a single section of platforming.
On that 5 minute video and on every single video or trailer that I've ever seen.

If this game tries to be a platforming game, then it may be one of the worst ever made.

Oh, there's definitely some platforming. The Gamescom demo had a whole section that was loaded with it (conveyor belts, spikes, and lots of jumping). It definitely isn't the primary focus, however.

Ups. I missed that completely. But a platformer is a game whose primary objective is to jump, and well... at this point, this game is as much a platfomer game as the Super Smash Bros Brawl story mode.
Even the jumps physics is not suited for a quality platforming experience (like in SSBB, by the way).

 

[Wasp]

Co-op looks pretty fun.

But one thing I dislike is how the camera only follows player 1. Player 2 might as well not exist as far as the camera is concerned. That seems pretty lazy.

 

[kaching]

Lots more ram brings with it higher expectations I guess.

I really don't think that's it (or should be, at least), since we've had RAM to spare for the games that wanted to use it for semi-persistent corpses for at least the last two generations of hardware. Arguably many of the most visually impressive games of the past few generations did it (FPSes), so it already hasn't been a matter of sacrificing visuals for corpses for quite awhile now.

 

[Loudninja]

Who is making the OT?

I would but I am not to good at them

Knack [OT] Knack he is a Maniac

 

[anddo0]

Game is already pre-ordered. I don't care much for reviews (it'll be around 7 is my guess). It looks solid for a launch title. So I'm in.

 

[UNCMark]

Who is making the OT?

I would but I am not to good at them

Knack [OT] Knack he is a Maniac

Knack |OT| Generack

I'm kidding!

A My Sharona reference for you music lovers: Knack|OT| Get The Knack... Before It Hits PS+

 

[Bunta]

Knack |OT| Generack

I'm kidding!

A My Sharona reference for you music lovers: Knack|OT| Get The Knack... Before It Hits PS+

Knack |OT| Try it Before You Knack it

 

[Loudninja]

Knack |OT| Try it Before You Knack it

Oh that's a good one.

 

[kaching]

Knack |OT| Try it Before You Knack it

But...no demo

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Knack has to be up there with the worst character designs ever.

Nothing will ever quite top this steaming pile for that title. Ever.

 

[Takao]

The voice acting seemed really good for a localization.

 

[Creaking]

That voice...

I have a feeling that the disappearing corpses is a design decision. The game is intended for a younger audience and leaving the corpses on the ground would make the game a lot darker. After a big battle the game would look like Hotline Miami.

They should make them shoot right off the screen like in Crash Bandicoot!

In any case, if they're going to magic away the bodies, I think they could choose a better effect. The quick fadeout is so unremarkable that it becomes jarring next to the rest of the game.

Nothing will ever quite top this steaming pile for that title. Ever.

Bubsy is love.
Bubsy is life.

 

[Vire]

Looks pretty bad in terms of gameplay/art design.

Oh well... if there's a demo I'll check it out.

 

[UNCMark]

A riff on the joke from the DC cancellation thread:

Knack|OT| Knack Knack. Who's There? Not Drive Club

 

[TheRealTalker]

so I just came back anymore previews aired? since the press got to get a hold of this game at the same event where KZ showcase was

 

[Vidpixel]

That co-op mode sure is tempting me to purchase this game. Plus, I would really prefer to pick up at least one game that isn't a shooter of some sort.

 

[Amused]

Looks good, will play it with my girlfriend.

In this house this game will be to the PS4 what Kameo once was to the 360.

 

[Possum]

This is actually a really good comparison. So Killzone Shadow Fall is Perfect Dark Zero and DRIVECLUB would have been Project Gotham Racing 3.

Hah.

 

[SPACECADET]

Nothing will ever quite top this steaming pile for that title. Ever.

sorry, bubsy rules.


i'm finally cracking, i think i'm gonna pre-order knack right now. it just looks fun to me, it'll be a good 2nd game to killzone.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Suggest the OT title for the Knack OT.

 

[SPACECADET]

Knack |OT| Knack, Knack. Who's there?

 

[velociraptor]

Knack |OT| Try it Before You Knack it

+1

 

[NoPiece]

I played it at the Sony Store, and while it looked good, it was pretty much a bore. I'd pick it up for $19.99, but no way is this a $59.99 game.

Yeah, I have yet to see anything to justify the high price, especially beside stuff like KZ...
