Friday COME ON!!!!

 

[Killing_Joke]

Day 1 for me. Was going to wait till bomba prices but couldn't resist the B2G1 at target. Might even be my first PS4 platinum. lol

 

[BlackGhost]

This has really grown on me over the months, looks like a Launch game for me in the B2G1

 

[Thoraxes]

Really disliked the demo, but I hope to hear some good impressions from you guys here.

WIll probably get it eventually if you all like the finished product.

 

[Eusis]

Stuck with it thanks to my flip flopping (Amazon bundle), so I'll see how it is come launch.

 

[Tohsaka]

I have this and Killzone sitting on my shelf, luckily the wait is almost over.

 

[Aspiring]

Great OP. Since Driveclub delay this is now my most wanted game for launch. Absolutely cannot wait. I loved Kameo back at 360 launch and If it's as good, or better I'm in for a treat!

Can't wait to play this. Definitely going to make it the first game I platinum on the PS4. I'm getting the big 3 shooters as well, so it'll be nice to have something different AND something I can play on the couch with my family without having to worry about somebody calling me the n-word.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

The lone PS4 launch game I'm interested in. Can't wait to read some impressions.

[famousmortimer]

I am a target market for this game. There may only be a few of us but, like, whatever! I love 3d action platformers. Very excited

 

[Zach]

I really hope this game surprises me. It looks quite so-so, but who knows?

 

[18-Volt]

Oh my sharona! Sony are going back to their roots, a platforming launch title! I'm so buying this and hoping for a future sequel.

 

[shinobi602]

OP do you not know the game's release date or something lol?

 

[friskykillface]

I'll be keeping an eye on knack, it can be a real sleeper hit game at launch.

 

[- J - D -]

I hope this is the Kameo of PS4 launch.

 

[dreamfall]

Definitely going in for that Cerny goodness.

Day one! Going to check Target tomorrow for the sale!

Heh, my biggest concern was always whether there was plentiful platforming or not, though the fact someone fell to their death (albeit mid-fight) IS reassuring. If it has enough of that I think I'll be happy. Hell, the addition of JUMPING is part of why I'm seriously considering Swapforce if I can get everything I'd want out of the Target deal.

 

[shinobi602]

Can't believe there are people who aren't excited for this game. I think the game looks beautiful, and I can't wait to play it. Graphics remind me of the Astro Boy movie.

Played it a couple weeks ago and I was bored out of my mind. I doubt I'll pick this up for any more than $20 sadly.

 

[Pop]

This game has grown on me. I'm going to pick up Knack next Friday.

 

[tokyostomp]

I just got back from Target and was surprised to find a playable PS4 there. Played a little bit of Knack and Octodad. They had Dual Shock 4's for sale but I did not spot any PS4 games.

It felt like a decent platformer but lacking in depth. It isn't bad but more simplistic. I'll reserve judgement on wether it is worth $60 but based on first impressions I'd say no. I am fairly confident that the combat gets deeper as you progress.

 

[dallow_bg]

I'm most looking forward to this game as far as retail releases for PS4.

 

[GeoramA]

Really excited. Got the Knack Bundle from Amazon on the way.

I just hope they fixed the blandness of the city street stage. That always looked like a tech demo.

Every other area has looked great, though.

 

[Tsundere]

OP do you not know the game's release date or something lol?

Which one? It has no street date, it released early in most markets...

 

[Smokey]

Probably gonna scoop. I didn't have a problem with the demo. And it will be a nice cleanser from the shooters and sports titles I'm getting.

 

[Radec]

They should show a video demonstration on the hardest difficulty of the game so that hardcore gamers might get turned on by this game.

 

[AgentOtaku]

In Cerny we trust!

Also, game looks adorable

 

[tokyostomp]

Is it bad that whenever I go to type Knack into a search engine I always type Klack first...


I'm also really hoping there are deeper mechanics involved. I know there is from videos and streems I have seen but I didn't get to play any first hand today.


Will probably be my favorite launch game.

 

[beast786]

now I am addicted to knack app. I suck at it. but some how I can't stop

 

[GSG Flash]

As I said in the other thread, picked it up today:

Can't wait!

I know in the other thread people were saying how the game looks boring and stuff, but I think that's just because of what they've shown us of the game so far(which has been almost all just action). I have a feeling the puzzles and platforming in this game will be fun. The game reminds me of the PS1 days

 

[DietRob]

Played it a couple weeks ago and I was bored out of my mind. I doubt I'll pick this up for any more than $20 sadly.

This is my fear. Normally I am all for the genre but everything I've seen just seems for lack of a better word boring. I'm really trying to talk myself into this game though. So I'm hoping that since they have only showed us bits and pieces that maybe the full game really comes together and is something magical.

Hopefully I'll be able to carefully wade through this thread and be able to read some honest opinions from GAF without being spoiled. There are plenty of members here that I respect the opinions of. GAF is going to have to sell me on this game. Can't wait to read impressions next week.

I demand to know how you got a Homer quote as a tag!

why are you playing. let your son play. i'm sure he's bored of temple run by now.

 

[Anticitizen One]

I remember thinking the demo for Kameo was pretty awful but the actual game turned out amazing. There probably just using a lame area for the demo. Was it that city area?

That's why I take demo impressions with a grain of salt, sometimes they just pick a really, REALLY bad slice, or the environment isn't ideal for enjoyment.

 

[daveo42]

I have a feeling that this might surprise people and become a breakout hit after launch. Can't freaking wait for launch day.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Great work on the OT, Tsundere. I was going to put it up, but I actually haven't started work on it yet, so it's fine that you put it up.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

I played Knack on a kiosk tonight and wasn't impressed. It seemed pretty boring. :\

 

[Kuro]

I am going to wait at least a week for impressions before picking this up. Not worth spending $60 on a game that looks like it could either be an average launch title or a boring tech demo.

 

[Adam Blue]

I played it last weekend, and while it controlled beautifully, it had nothing else going on. It also didn't look amazing in person. I was thinking of getting it through the Target deal, just to have it. But just maybe.

 

[inpired_1ne]

Day one for me, peffect game for me and the kids to play together..

 

[Kensuke]

There is very little hype for this. Graphically it looks silly and boring. But I actually think it has potential. On hard mode it could be a very decent action platformer. I'm not going to pick it up for 60 euro though. I'm also thinking this one is going to be free on PS+ not long after launch.

 

[Fou-Lu]

The environments I have seen this game make me drool and it has coop, count me in.

 

[Orca]

Are there any reviews? The game is already on sale so there shouldn't be any embargo.

 

[dreamer3kx]

I think this is going to be better then expected, I think the sonic looking areas are early in the game, tutorial and such.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Knackity Knack, don't talk BACK!

 

[CrackPebbles]

only reason im hyped is nothing else interest me at launch(except resogun) and on harder difficulties knack actually looks like a hype action game, kinda an unpopular opinion but I want the platforming at a minimum. I really like how much Cerny has been hyping up harder difficulties.

 

[EatinOlives]

I wish it really looked more interesting. I love games that aren't shootbangs and really want to have more platformers in general, but Knack wants to be a combat game and a platformer but it's neither here nor there. It certainly has that "launch title" feel. There's interest in it because it's new and there's not much to choose from, but 1+ year down the line when the real good games on the PS4 come out it'll be all but forgotten.

Truly a shame. I wish I was more hyped in this, but the kiosk demo did absolutely zero for me.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I'm not getting the PS4 until next year, probably Q2, but unless the reviews and impressions are pretty bad I'll likely get Knack with it. It's just the kind of old school action/platformer I've been missing lately.

I suspect it will be good and cheap by then.

Possibly free with PS+.
