Knack: Sony's unimpressive character action game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1BDG9JZgX4

This game looks beneath what the PS4 is supposed to be. The levels look linear, the combat seems dull and repetitive, and look at that death animation. What decade am I in again? Back to dead bodies being unaffected by gravity and physics.

I know the game's not out yet, but I just don't see Knack being on the level of Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter. I predict that a few years from now, we'll look back at the PS4's launch and laugh at this sad attempt to establish a mascot.

Looks like poo.

Looks like a masterpiece

It's the Ryse for the PS4

And PS3 had Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire -- though I do see Knack having a lot more charm than Mobile Suit -- sometimes you just get subpar launch titles

Looks so generic... "But it's something Pixar would make!"

Yeah, maybe if it was Planes or Cars 2, not any of the others.

Just a lackluster launch exclusive (Driveclub won't be anything special as well). Killzone Shadowfall has the best chance of being decent.

the game looks plain and boring.

It's for kids, get over it

Looks ok for what it is.  At least Sony gives some attention to this type of game in order to round out the PS4's library which is more than I can say for the X1...

I don't see Knack as being anywhere near as bad as Mobile Suit was. The game looks good, has great art design, and appears to be well made. Its just incedibly linear and very simplistic combat.

The best "kids" games are the ones that can be enjoyed by all. Being simplistic by itself is always a negative -- thats why "kids" games like Mario Kart are so good.

Looks generic and uninteresting! I expected more from the guy behind the megadrive's Sonic games or Crash Bandicoot series :?

Looks cool even if its a kids game. o.o

Ha. Glad to see this already got davekeehed.

On topic: this is honestly the first thing I've seen of this game aside from the name. Doesn't look impressive in the least, and absolutely no moment looked enjoyable. I stopped watching when he found some battery thing, and the "item acquired" screen popped up, with his friends list built in, and mark cerny staring at me.

Being for kids doesn't mean it needs to be inherently badsoulitane

This. Nintendo games are for kids. Played Mario galaxy and it was fun as hell plus it was hard too.

Hell I would say kids can play more difficult games and is the adults that are buying these movie games with cinematic experiences where the gameplay is so shallow you can't die even if you try. 

When I was a kid I used to play the crap out of Ninja gaiden, and I loved it. 

lol that game looked like shit the first time they showed it. IDK why people were getting boners for it. I guess cows have extremely low standards. mems_1224

Kids will love this

Sorry it's a fact, kids need simplistic games, and Knack is the perfect game for them

This is your archtypical early announcement. Something to entice people which will be very quickly forgotten once the console gets going.

I've got to admit, The Wonderful 101 looks more exciting, interesting and fun.

As long as Killzone is solid I'm good.

It's aimed at little Kids just like fake wrestling !

This would have been a game to sell the PS4 towards gamers like myself. As it stands it's not doing a good job.

The only reason this game exists is so Sony can market the PS4 to kids I guess.   It is indeed an unimpressive game though, possibly even by the standards of a child.

An insult.

Man the PS4 has no good launch titles.

Even kids deserve better, looks just as shitty as those quickly released Dreamworks/Pixar movie based games.Jack-Burton

ole jacko u have hit the nail on the head imo.
