Not only did Heavy get to experience Microsoft's next-gen console (the Xbox One), Heavy also got to experience Sony's PlayStation 4. The system was on full display for every interested passerby to see, plus there were plenty of TV's displaying all the game trailers everyone needed to see. Sony's SDCC 2013 presence was strong with all types of upcoming titles for the PS3 and PS Vita, but Heavy made sure to zero in on the PS4. Heavy came away with a few impressions of the console, the controller and the one PS4 game that was featured - Knack.
Sony might be gearing to launch a new Knack game, a franchise that has had received quite a polarizing reception from the community.
While I did actually enjoy the Knack games, and found the reviews overly harsh, I do feel 2 games were enough unless the series was revitalized in a major way. For me, that would be a new Knack game for PSVR2. With the increased hardware power, those HD particle effects would be pretty awesome, surrounding the player at times. Astrobot proved that platformers can be amazing in VR, so let's hope that's where they're going with this, if real!
Translation: the next best game of all time is coming soon! Show me the money, Knack!
Surprised to see them continue this but considering how invested they are in the IP and the wider appeal, there must be some commercial sense to continue with a 3rd title

Loved locoroco and legend of dragoon. Never played gravity rush or even ape escape but I heard good things.
Beyond the memes, Knack is just a solid platformer that deserves a new home on the PlayStation 5.
I'd rather they make a new platformer IP. With Sackboy and Astro's Playroom PS5 looks very good for the platformer genre so far
I think it would be great if they rebooted it, keep the visual style, but change the tone of the story and voices to match. This game looks like it should have a semi mute protagonist with a silly professor and his rebellious apprentice. Instead knack sounds like a brainwashed soldier, the professor like an angry divorced dad, and the kid is such an average joe. And the story takes itself way too seriously, it's so clashing with it's art style
It's time for Ape Escape PS5, Dual Sense Enhanced.
Give me that first. Then whatever.
It's really not.
The first really didn't deserve a sequel, and the sequel, itself, was nothing special.
Are they packing a camera in or not? They sure make it look that way :/
Out of al the awesome launch games why knack? It looks so lame...
Im getting knack even if it looks lame because it also looks fun :)
Battlefield 4 top of my list, then killzone/drive club
He had a lot more to talk about in the X1 preview. But he still made it clear that he is a PS guy, which I am fine with by the way. He did a very clean non-fanboy report in both articles.
