    Has a bit of the TT Lego vibe.

    Not the best looking next gen title but it does look fun.

    Looks good to me, I'll be keeping an eye on it.
  • Deleted user 14 June 2013 10:25:54
    It looks like a linear brawler with not much going for it. What am I missing?

    Don't know why but this seems to remind me of Kameo. Not a launch title I'm interested in at the minute, but will wait to see some review scores first.

    Yeah, it's not going to blow anyone away graphically, but if the trailers are any indication it may spin a good yarn.

    Ironically, that's the PS4 game I'm looking forward the most, for now.

    Seems a younger audience thing. Can't see me grabbing it. Looks charming though.

    Looks souless and boring to be honest. Does anyone know what other titles are launch day titles?

    Soul-less? Looks like the only game with soul, compared to a shooter and a racer - the other two first party launch titles, this one looks full of charm and character.
  • Deleted user 14 June 2013 15:37:38
    Just because it's not about shooting doesn't mean it's got charm.

    I think it looks really very average, but I hope it proves me wrong.

    Tempted to get this, but i could see it end up being a PS+ title.

    It looks like Ratchet and Clank, which at its best was brilliant.

    Ratchet & Clank was good. Really not too sure about this though, looks distinctly average.

    @TheSaint Well... shit.

    Why did you post yours on General gaming when it's a PS4 exclusive?

    Because there was no PS4 category back then, probably.

    In any case, it's not the end of the world. Either thread is fine. :-)

    It looks very similar to The Wonderful 101; how Knack and the 101 characters morph into larger objects/robot. I like the look of this game but there doesn't seem to be a lot happening on screen.

    Ratchet and Clank at its worst as distinctly average too, but I didn't care to mention that bit. :)

    I do like the traditional 3D platformer for example Jak and Daxter. So i was initially interested in Knack, but the more i see of it the more it looks like a generic brawler. Although it does have character which is always a positive.

    Either way these sort of games are not system sellers but it stands a chance as a launch game due to lack of competition.

    I enjoyed Tools of Destruction. :(

    @Psychotext

    I was think more Q-Force and All 4 One. I liked ToD and A Crack in Time is my favourite of the while series.

    I for one am very excited for Knack and I honestly think I will get this on launch. It's nice to see the platform genre getting some focus and to have Mark Cerny as director fills me with so much confidence that this can optimise the strength that the 3D platforming genre saw in the PSone/N64 days :)

    I'm hoping for the best, and will get it just for the change of pace it offers to the other launch titles (unless it's gash).

    I'm just majorly impressed with his Marble Madness design background - a truly ground-breaking game at the time.
