This generation of young adult gamers are so self-centered they don't take into account the younger gamers.

This is tech demo, not attempt to create mascot. To think is meant to compete of Ratchet game, or LBP mascot, show ignorance. Game is meant wholesome title for launch, killzone is mature.

This is tech demo Mr-Kutaragi

That costs $60. First it's a kids game, now is tech demo. Just say is a meh game, is fine you can say that. 

This is PS4's Ryse.

This still looks like more of a game than Killzone: Shadow Fall.

It does look a bit disappointing in terms of how linear it is. It actually looks sort of boring. Hopefully there are some sections with good puzzle or platforming areas, or else I'm not really sure what they are going for.

I'll probably check it out when it's cheaper, or I'll just rent it. Definitely doesn't look like I'd be happy spending $60 on that game.

The director is Mark Cerny, the one who worked on Crash Bandicoot trilogy, so I expect it to be a bit more fun. The game is linear, and simple just like Crash, but the fun just isn't there. The story took itself a bit too serious, and the action is slow and boring.

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.

Sooshy

Knack has been the butt of everyone's jokes since E3. Watching this demo, it appears to be exactly what I thought it would be: a simple kid friendly game.  This looks like what my nephew would enjoy, since he plays games like Kung Fu Panda.  It's obviously not for you and me. And I most certainly wouldn't be surprised if it actually sells alot.

Consider the following, Knack is not aimed at you, Kids are going to want a ps4 or an xbox one , not all parents will allow young kids to play COD and would get them a game like knack. TBH i think there are not enough kid friendly games about, I won't play them but when i was a kid i liked kid games, i wanted to play mario, crash bandicoot and spyro. not Medal of honor, syphon filter and resident evil. kids don't care about physics and particle effects they want a fun game with a fun basis. I won't be interested in knack, but my nephew would love it.

This, i hope they announce a ratchet and clank game too. They're actually quite fun to blast through even for adults.

I'll be the first to say this: I think it might actually be really good. For all we know, they could be showcasing the first very easy levels of the game.

That's exactly what it looks like to me. However Cerny says there are difficulty options to adjust the game for a more grown up audience. He's intending this game for as large an audience as he can.

Just because it's a kid's game doesn't excuse it for looking like crap and uninteresting gameplay.

PS4 fans better be glad theres multiplats because that launch line up is horrible, knack average at best, drive club might get.delayed, killzone is about the best looking one out.the bunch but thats gonna get swallowed by the cod and battlefield, indie and f2p games. There will be no AAA exclusive from sony for about a year.

Not as much as Lems do apparently, they get a QTE game that literally plays itself.

The character designs are absolutely fine and suit the theme. The story and level design, however, are problematic.

When Knack was first shown, I was interested in getting it. But the more I see of it, the less I want it. Game looks like crap to me at this point.

Knack should be a required play before children can fire a gun in COD or drive a warthog in Halo.

You gotta play with your building blocks before you can interract with the middle schoolers.
