[Artex]

Sort of want now.

Hate how the enemies disappear though. Could have gotten a bit more creative than that, eh?

 

[silver.tongue]

Indeed

Can we somehow get Bish's face in Knack here? lol

 

[george_us]

I'm oddly pretty excited for this game. This, Killzone, and Resogun are going to make this a fun launch.

The game itself looks neat in an old school kind of way. It reminds me of something like Maximo on the PS2.

that is a good call.

Physics look pretty good, but the environments and interactions are so sterile and static that it doesn't really pop as much as I'd expect a launch title to.

i wonder if we will see a demo on PSN shortly after launch

 

[Dinjooh]

I really don't get the criticism this game is getting. From both Adam Sandler's preview and FamilyGamerTV's playthrough, this looks incredibly fun, and a really good change of pace from the more 'serious' tone the rest of the launch is making.

Still waiting with my preorder 'till all the americans have beta-tested it before the EU launch.

 

[Loudninja]

Looks like this game has nice variety of environments.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Looking likely that this will be the second retail game i'll buy.

This gameplay looks good as well just classic stuff

I'm loving the enemy designs. Aztec and this one both look great.

Nicccce so many enemies they were not kidding when they said it was 100 different types.

 

[Matrix XII]

I'm waiting for reviews on this game but I'm dying to get something in addition to Killzone at launch. I've always loved platformers like this. I hope it gets good reviews. GAF members seem to be pretty excited which is a very good sign.

Yea I saw that. At like 01 in the night while the gf was sleeping. Dat press conference itch.

Looks good, but I will have to buy a second controller for this game, argh.

KZ:SF, Knack and a second DS4? This is gonna get expensive come november.

 

[B.O.O.M]

New shots. Sorry, this is the only size I could find:

^
Also new characters -

woah now these...I dig...I dig them very well indeed. Keep em coming

I had my doubts about the game but it keeps looking better and better

I think some type of puzzle is going on in that screenshot.

 

[Keihart]

Looks fun , this just push to pre-order it.

I really don't get all the hate, maybe most people want something that the game is clearly not trying to be...whatever.

 

[satori]

wtf I had no interest in this game before, I seen a few pictures here and there but didn't realize this was the game play. I passed it off as a kiddie game, I am definitely getting it now. Looks really fun.

 

[B.O.O.M]

I think some type of puzzle is going on in that screenshot.

I was thinking it might be a boss battle..like a guardian bot or something. But yea it could very well be a puzzle

 

[TrojanBlade]

On the hard-core side, there’s a hard mode and another level of difficulty above that. In those modes, Knack can die via one-hit kills, and players will have to figure out how to use the dodge move more often to get in range for attacks. There’s more strategy when it comes to battles. In addition, there are variant Knack characters that players can unlock. For example, collect 15 ruby relics and players can access Vampire Knack, which lets players get health every time they eliminate a foe, but at the same time, they have a weakness to sunlight.

This all sounds good. I hope this game is not ignored due to the label of "kiddie" game. Also game looks really good. Not sure why people think it looks ugly.

 

[TheRealTalker]

I second this notion

 

[The Tofunator]

It's more an aesthetic ugly than a technical ugly, at least in my case. For example, the Bayformers are amazing from a technical perspective in their complexity, but are really ugly in an aesthetic sense due to being a mess to look at.

 

[B.O.O.M]

I second this notion

Knack should actually say 'Check your PM's' lol

 

[sol_bad]

Silly question I know but is Knack local co-op?

 

[Chuck Norris]

The one thing I think they really screwed up was the sense of scale. And its because of the camera. Big Knack has the same amount of space on screen as little Knack, and you're always viewing from a downward angle. You are fighting tanks that look no bigger than the regular goblin/troll things. And there are no smaller enemies in these environments to give a real sense of scale

They should have used a lower angle camera, behind the back.

Have you watched the newest videos? Because I don't think this is true at all. Maybe it's something that they have tweaked in development but I'm definitely getting a better sense of scale now.

I still think big Knack should be leaving absolute carnage behind him destroying the environment

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Those new screen and new Knack forms look very interesting. Are there bigger pictures?

 

[TheRealTalker]

More from the Japan website some motion blur since some pics are straight from gameplay

sadly they're all small screens

 

[livestOne]

I never knew orc corpses were so unfamily friendly

 

[zeloe326]

Looks awesome, and lots of fun.. Can't wait.

 

[sol_bad]

Si

Sank you.

The game's looking better and better with these latest new screens.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

I'm really, really looking forward to Knack! Imagine 4 player co-op in horde mode with waves of goblins. Would be amazing. Can't wait!

 

[dragonflys545]

This will be one of my launch titles along with KZ:SF and AC4.

You're Back!
You're juniored

But you're Back! Glad it wasn't a perm!

 

[eddfromtheriver]

This times eternity.

 

[pharmboy044]

Looks like I'll be getting this with Killzone. The local coop pretty much sealed the deal.

Thanks. Well that wasn't me who created that thread, I think the mods dig thru my post history and notice something weird. So I guess that could be the reason why I didn't get permed banned. Phew xD

 

[jwk94]

Yep, this is exactly what I'm doing.

 

[dragonflys545]

Yep, this is exactly what I'm doing.

Same here. Gonna Co-op with my GF via Vita remote play.

 

[Loudninja]

Looking good,thanks for all the pics!

 

[Dinjooh]

The game's looking better and better with these latest new screens.

It would've been a glorious preview.

 

[MoGamesXNA]

The new previews have certainly won me over. Looking forward to this. It's giving me a Pixar God of War vibe.

 

[Pop]

Same here. Gonna Co-op with my GF via Vita remote play.

Co-op on this game looks like a great time. Game is looking stunning, must buy for me.

 

[JABEE]

Very clean.

 

[simplythebest]

So is it possible to earn trophies while playing a game like Knack in co-op ( I'm in my own account on the PS4, while my brother is signed into his on the Vita?) through remote play on PS4?

 

[RadarScope1]

You know, it looks fun enough. I second the thoughts about a Maximo vibe loved that game. It is what it is, folks. I'm glad there's something like this out at launch. I'm getting KZ for sure and might get this one day one, too.

Is it confirmed at $60?
