Now if ND please continue the jak series

Shadonic4394d ago

>.> do people not like the Jak and Dexter series ? I loved it and I would enjoy another if the sequal was even better.

b_one4394d ago

Cerny is like one man Naughty Dog ;)

MoveTheGlow4394d ago

God, with all the Microsoft blundering, including Spencer sounding like some PR megaphone when Xbone was on Kimmel, Sony shows up with Cerny and it's Classy Hour on Fallon. That guy. Develops Marble Madness back in the day, designs the PS4, develops Knack, and still manages to talk circles around the business guys. Sony made the right freaking move.

Sarobi4394d ago

Even in a small segment they still find a way to mention the used game and no drm stuff, haha.

I know this isn't anything major, but he does say we can upload to Youtube. I guess that debunks the whole "only on facebook" speculation some people brought up earlier.

mushroomwig4394d ago

I loved the fact that he mentioned YouTube, I'm not a big fan of Ustream so YT would definitely be my first choice.

Elated_Blackman4394d ago

well spotted, i was just about to comment that.

Rynocirator4394d ago

Don't forget you can live stream on youtube too.

Hadoukameha4394d ago

Why Knack? Geez, should have been something cool.

andibandit4394d ago

Im wondering the same thing, Infamous:SS looks insane, Knack...i dont know...

GentlemenRUs4394d ago

Guess your not from the PS1 era then...

Knack > COD(And all shooters apart from those coming on PS4)

Hadoukameha4394d ago

I'm 26, first memories are of gaming. My era is NES, son. Knack just looks like shit, straight up. I hate wannabe creative garbage, it's also why I hate most indie games.

Also, CoD will be on PS4, you should know that.

FTR, PS1 is among my favorite systems, easily top ten. Chrono Cross, FF 8-9 plus Tactics...it was RPG heaven.

Polysix4394d ago

Maybe to some gamers but not to the mass market TV viewers. KZSF should have been used to wow the audience. Knack doesn't 'wow' even if it ends up a very fun game to play!

Infamous SS would be my second choice, that space needle scene looks true next gen.

Grap4394d ago

so u hate the creative things wow. the most dumbest thing i have ever heard.

cannon88004394d ago

@Hadoukameha

Knack looks like shit? You don't know Mark Cerny I presume, and how much he has helped the gaming community way back then and now.

MoveTheGlow4394d ago

And Cerny owns up to it on stage - he talks about how there will be plenty of core games out there, so this is what he's been working on. Which had precedent - Xbone didn't go on Fallon with a shooter or action game, they went on with Forza, because everyone watching that show probably drives or rides in a car, the viewers get it en masse. Ps4 just looked way better, especially because they had an industry giant on stage talking like a real person.

AngelicIceDiamond4394d ago

Only Sony is allowed to have a semi core family style game like Knack.

I personally think it looks neat and fun.

But godforbid if this was on any other machine. Not creative, Not innovative, and certainly NOT core enough.

valet_Smerdyakov4386d ago

I'm more interested in Knack than all Killzones and Infamous together.

Seems like SONY doesn't have better argument to sell the PS4 against the X1.

Come on SONY everybody knows about used games......lets talk about Games and what the PS4 offers!

TimeSkipLuffy4394d ago

I do not worry about games from Sony. You get all multiplats + all the exclusive games from owned IPs or owned Studios. They will come sooner or later. There is no need to worry ^^

alb18994394d ago

I'm not worry either but seems to me that they are more focus in showing the apparently weakness of the X1 than the power and the features of the PS4.

I mean the E3 SONY's CONFERENCE was about the used games and everywhere they go just talk about it, SONY has so much to show about the powerful PS4, why focus on this? It is was ok at E3 but that's it.
I've learn that Microsoft and SONY are offering different products but Microsoft are trying to show what's new in the X1 and SONY just show what they keep from PS3.

gravv4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Sony doesnt need to talk about games PS fans already know what will come to them, sony will constantly pumping aaa exclusives from their great and proven in-house developer while m$ investing 1billions for new ip with weak and unproven developer (insomniac fuse lol, dead rising 2 meta 78 new game probably same, killer instinct double helix lol, crytek with repetitive hack&slash QTE romans that shouting and acting like US marines ryse, etc) makes me wonder why xboners hyping they so called great exclusives from that kind of developers it probably turns out to be mediocre games...and some timed exclusives

And here i am right here right now enjoying new goty 95 meta IP last of us from ND while xboners with 360 dried like desserts and having their mouth shutted with m$ balls

So yeah SONY doesnt need to talk about games they're far much credible than m$ in that departement

alb18994394d ago

So you think SONY just sell their products to the fans.....think again.
Is a new product and they have to show what it is capable of.
You guys always said is about games now you just trust, lol!

gravv4394d ago

Well sony deliver with ps3 cannot say the same about m$, i see the same pattern with xbone just like 360 bait the core gamer by flooding with exclusives which most of them are timed in early cycles of new console life then forsaken them until next generation arrives while sony will gradually keep making exclusives

Even without showing many games sony owned m$ in pre-order lol

Sony Files New Trademark Fuelling Knack 3 Speculations

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!

_SilverHawk_1190d ago

Hopefully sony makes a knack 3 because the previous games were amazing.

MoonConquistador1189d ago

Knack was a few things, but amazing wasn't one of them.

TiredGamer1190d ago

Agreed there. I went into Knack with the realization that it was a simple platform/brawler (i.e. something akin to a Crash Bandicoot style of simplicity). My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the co-op for what it was. Fun to play in short bursts to take a break from the more serious fare out there. I haven’t played Knack 2, but my understanding was that many of the original’s shortfalls were addressed there.

jznrpg1190d ago

Great idea . PSVR2 could make Lnack really shine like Astro Bot

MoonConquistador1189d ago

Astrobot was a likeable character. Knack wasn't.

coolbeans1190d ago

Translation: the next best game of all time is coming soon! Show me the money, Knack!

Army_of_Darkness1189d ago (Edited 1189d ago )

Lol! I have both knack 1-2. Second one is fun local co-op action, but to be honest, I don't care for a third installment. I'd rather have a new resistance game!

MoonConquistador1189d ago

I'd rather have an enema than a new knack game.

A new killzone, resistance, motorstorm, driveclub or even a days gone sequel would be more welcomed than flogging any more life from the knack series.

badz1491190d ago

speak for yourself!

bring it on, Sony!

coolbeans1190d ago

There's been a Knack-sized hole in every gamer's heart since 2 came and went.

deleted1190d ago (Edited 1190d ago )

I completely read this comment wrong, but I'll refrain from explaining. XD

Edit - ah screw it... My heart can't wait for Knack to come into that hole for a third time!

deleted1190d ago

@PS-Gamer-1986 Whaaa? You don't have a Knack hole? XD

PhoenixRoar1190d ago

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

rippermcrip1190d ago

My young kids love playing it. I don't know why all these older people are complaining about it.

jznrpg1190d ago

I played them with my younger children and we had a good time .

Lexreborn21189d ago

This… my kids love knack probably more then other mascots. And that’s probably because that’s their generations mascot. It’s undeniable ps4 spoke to a lot of children the last decade more then other competitors that have only been in kids sight for the last 4-5 years.

My kids will flip if this news is real

lellkay1190d ago

Both games were actually alright.

No More Memes: It's Time For Knack 3 On PS5

Beyond the memes, Knack is just a solid platformer that deserves a new home on the PlayStation 5.

lifeisgamesok1711d ago

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

SullysCigar1711d ago

Agreed. Astro Bot Rescue Mission is honestly one on the best platformers I've ever played. It took things to the next level and was a delight from start to finish!

That said, while I was happily laughing along with the "Knack 2 baby!" memes with everyone else, I have to say I was a bit shocked when they gave it out free on PS Plus and I actually played it...it was actually really enjoyable lol

And huge too. Really long, loads of replayability and upgrade trees, new powers, costumes, challenge modes...hate to admit it, but I'd be pretty pleased with a Knack 3 announcement now!

Relientk771711d ago

Also Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Balan Wonderworld, Crash Bandicoot 4 (probably), and Spyro 4 is rumored to be in development

PS5 is looking great for platformers

isarai1711d ago

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

lukasmain1711d ago

Thye don't need Knack they got Sackboy. He'll kill it

ApocalypseShadow1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

It's time for Ape Escape PS5, Dual Sense Enhanced.

Give me that first. Then whatever.

GaboonViper1711d ago

Couldn't agree more, i remember the first time playing Ape Escape with the Dual Shock, great times, we need a PS5 version.

ApocalypseShadow1710d ago

Yeah. I didn't know a controller could do so much until that game.

MadLad1711d ago

It's really not.
The first really didn't deserve a sequel, and the sequel, itself, was nothing special.
