--Knack-- PS4's new mascot

[QUOTE="drakekratos"][QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]

Wow really? You saw like 2 minutes of a game that has not been released and you are saying he will be recognized enough to become a mascot? Cows gonna cow.

Nintendo_Ownes7

He worked on the original Sonic, yes. 

[QUOTE="wakefulness"]

Most of the people here writing about how they are interested in it, about 8 here will actually buy Knack. The good thing about Knack is, it has a chance of selling well  to kids and parents if the box art just has screenshots (from some of the cinematic stuff we saw) and it's rated E . . . I mean, Knack basically looks like a playable Pixar film. 

 

But I will probably pick up a copy.

No other faction but Cows would hype something like this.  

You spend an awful lot of time thinking of cows touching themselves...

I'll keep an eye on it. A playstation platformer that is refreshing for a change would be a godsend at this point. The character certainly has potential, but we'll just have to see about the gameplay.

This clown helped design the original Uncharted and Killzone 3?

Thanks for posting this, TC. Now I know to avoid Knack like the plague.

WORD.

Meanwhile at M$,

Bungie isn't making Halo anymore.

Epic isn't making Gears anymore.

even pathetic Molyneux quit on them.

LMAO in your dreams. you're implying games aren't what they're used to be, yet you're saying it as if he somehow made worse games and "fell off really hard". :lol:

Falling off really hard = Molyneux working on Populous to working on Fable Kinect. Rare working on Goldeneye, Donkey Kong Country, to working on Kinect Sports.

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Going from Sonic, Crash, Spyro, and Jak to Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Killzone 3, and Resistance 2 is pretty much the definition of "falling off really hard."DarkLink77

pwahahahhaha. :lol: oh, so now you try to minimize (and even completely discount) present-day Molyneux's and Rare's involvement with whatever games they're putting yet you speak as if Cerny was the driving force behind Resistance 2? GET OUT. :lol: double standards, much?

This clown = smarter than you will ever be, even if you get reincarnated 100 times. what does that make you? this clown's biatch's biatch? :lol:

So we gonna act like this random PS4 game doesn't look better than most PC games out there.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Molyneux had very little to do with Fable: The Journey (he just produced it) and the Rare that made Perfect Dark and GoldenEye and Donkey Kong Country and Conker is not the same team that works on Kinect sports. Please learn your sh!t. Meanwhile this clown goes from the original Sonic games to Resistance 2. Yeah, that's called falling off.DarkLink77

That's not really a stretch.

considering that every game, there's a staff personnel change, your point is totally irrelevant. how much of the God Of War 1 team worked on God Of War 2, and GOW2 team to GOW3? Newsflash: Aside from some peeps, majority of the dozens of people changed. So really, you're just grasping out of straws trying so hard to make a point. So who actually doesn't know their supposed sh!t? Go on, dig a deeper sinkhole. Show us how you can push through with this nonsense more. :lol:

Uncharted was awful? LMAO. :lol: Now I've heard it all. Cry some more. 

"wah wah wah I didn't like Uncharted and Resistance and Killzone wah wah wah they're awful by my standards wah wah wah therefore Cerny is to blame wah wah wah since he totally was the only designer in those 200-person teams and was responsible for every wrong those games did to me wah wah wah oh but Molyneux and Rare are different because...because..ummm..well they're not the same anymore wah wah wah!"

You are a very weird individual :?

when will these stupid cows get that sony never needed 1 mascot. and god forbid they do..

Most of the people here writing about how they are interested in it, about 8 here will actually buy Knack. The good thing about Knack is, it has a chance of selling well  to kids and parents if the box art just has screenshots (from some of the cinematic stuff we saw) and it's rated E . . . I mean, Knack basically looks like a playable Pixar film. 

 

But I will probably pick up a copy.

No other faction but Cows would hype something like this.  

I wont even respond to that. I will just shake my head at you and pretend to stare blankly at you through my moniter. :\

Anyways, I will play this bc of two reasons,

1. Based on his speech, the producer of Knack seems like a guy who can take a super complex concept and package it in a neat way people can digest. It's a skill I think will come in handy when game mechnics and level design come into play.
2. Also, this is an SCEJ game, When I noticed that this was SCEJ, I immediatly thought of Ape Escape. And I know you will "lulz all days" but AE is a freaking fun game. :B

For sure, I am buying The Witness (day 1!). Man, I can't wait to play that feaking game. Open world+that art direction+dynamic puzzle elements? Ahhhh!! It's gunna freaking rock. =)

But, I can already tell what normal people will play:

Watch_Dogs 

KZ:SF  

If R* ports GTA5, I am guessing people will definitely buy that.

etc etc etc

Honestly, I do not like a lot of the next gen games ppl on SW wana play. And that's not me being a snob, I am just being uber specific.

game looks fun, wish they would have gone with a new crash though... i want some nostalgia dammit

 

You are a very weird individual :?

StrongDeadlift

And you are a very sad one. :lol:

Old school gamers who grew up in the N64/PlayStation days, and even the PS2 days will really appreciate a platformer like this. Just reading off Mark Cerny's portfolio of games brings back nostalgia.

 

Ohyeah, and notice how similar Knack looks to Crash? Same hair. Blocky head. Long arms. Pointy ears.

 

drakekratos

They should redesign that kid in the game.

That last gif reminds me of skylanders.  Could be fun. 

Gonna be the sleeper hit of the PS4 launch probably. Everyone will be hyping the new Killzone at launch and whatever big BANG BANG BANG games Sony unveil at E3, but the real killer app is going to be be this platformer. The games this guy has worked on fills me with confidence. Looks really cool. With that said the BANG BANG BANG games are probably going to sell better than this.

The only mascot Sony needs.

Very excited for this game. Reminds me of games like Jak.

[QUOTE="drakekratos"][QUOTE="AntiType"] Nice long list of failed mascots. It's too late to have a mascot, Nintendo couldn't invent a new one if they tried. Mario and Sonic worked out because they were in games that were THE game to get on the system. New systems have a much more broad audience so there is no one game that everyone gets.AntiType

A mascot cannot be forced, it must chosen by the audience. It's why Sony has never had one.Zeviander

Same with Insomniac when they left Vivendi Universal to be independent Insomniac had to give up Spyro.

i guess with that lackluster ps4 showing, you can't really be picky.  :(

Here are some more screen shots. drakekratos

[QUOTE="drakekratos"]Here are some more screen shot. ristactionjakso

The pieces of Knack fly everywhere. It might be possible but the game was just designed to show off the physics that the PS4 could handle.

Sackboy still have more appeal.

Here is his resume: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992, Genesis) drakekratos

Welp, looks like I won't be getting this then. 

Not seeing it. Time will tell.

It finally has Toy Story graphics, two gens later.
