GodisaGeek: "When you hear the name “Naughty Bear”, you’d be forgiven for visibly shuddering. The first game wasn’t very good, but sometimes, going back to the drawing board can be exactly what a franchise needs. This second instalment does exactly that, with wholesale changes to how the game plays, it has potential to be a whole lot more fun.
But rather than take our word for it, we’ve taken some footage from a preview build for you to judge for yourself. Watch as Naughty Bear mercilessly slaughters fluffy, cuddly bears with a pipe, hides behind so foliage, before exerting yet more mayhem onto unsuspecting “enemies”."
COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
Yeah, I know a lot of people who liked the game, and said they wouldn't mind a sequel which improved on the original.
Loads of people did. Loads of people also played it on PS+.
Although, I don't really know what the actual numerical value is of a load, unless it's the kind of load that we usually see used to criticize Sony or its games.
The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.
Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.
Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending
I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.
Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4
I wonder what would happen if Knack was multiplatform. Would people defend it that much.
I think people probably wouldn't even pay attention to it at all. There is no denying that exclusives do get a bit of a bump in notoriety. Same could be said for any number of mid-tier game which is multi-plat. It doesn't really get that much attention outside of an announcement, maybe an occasional screen shot or marketing blurb, and then some reviews on release. Quite a few mid-tier titles that are exclusive...especially those from 1st party, get a lot more attention.
That being said, the first one was pretty fun for a launch title. The second one was really good, although still had some room to do things better.
Welcome back to the Treasure Trove. A place choc-full of Hidden Gems for the semi-retro era of video games. Today, three more games enter the spotlight, some of them finding themselves raved about for the first time in their lives.
Two editors at Capsule Computers put on their Hulk fists and start dueling each other over the topic of video game ratings. Spurring from the topic of The Walking Dead receiving a MA 15+ rating in Australia, both editors defend logical standpoints regarding the distribution of consumer knowledge around titles like Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise.
