I can understand Kratos, Nathan Drake and Sackboy but Knack?

Aloy, Ellie, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sweet Tooth, Spike, Cole MacGrath, Sir Daniel Fortesque...just some a little more known and better recieved in my opinion.

I thought Sir Daniel might have been a good one with the first game being remasted this year.

Well Knack is one of the new children Mascot of PlayStation and PlayStation really push Knack to be a huge thing. They should just give up, Knack can be considered as flop Mascot and should not waist money on this franchise.

Rangerman12082228d ago

I think Aloy would have been a far better option conaidering the huge success of Horizon Zero Dawn.

ClanPsi12227d ago

I love the Knack character. It's a shame that the game kinda sucks... :(

Lexreborn22227d ago

My sons Love Knack they play it more then anything else to my surprise. So, as for it being something that an adult who doesn’t have memories of it choice then you realize it’s irrelevant. Because Knack is making memories for children right now, and seeing how this is a movie that will have children and teenagers in it.

They chose well, Kratos and Nathan for the last two gens of ps2 and 3. Sack boy for ps3 into ps4 and knack for ps4 current.

It fits

NotanotherReboot2226d ago

I would recommend introducing them to Ratchet and Clank (PS4). Loved thsoe games on the PS2 as a kid

Lexreborn22226d ago

Funny think is I did, they have a ps3 in their room that has all the ratchet and clank games. But, they only like the newest one and knack. Not really sure why

Which Kratos? GoW1-3 or the upcoming one? I NEED ANSWERS!

Rangerman12082225d ago

I think it's the upcoming one, considering the amount of marketing they are giving to the new GoW game.

If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.

If it was more online-only crap then good riddance.

Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.

solideagle3h ago

you should apply in MS PR team buddy, I think you will do a great job in my humble opinion :)

I thought darthv72 and Obscure_Observer already work for Microsoft 🤔

MS: "Xbox services and content without AB up 1%, with AB up 62%. Hardware down 31%. In total a loss of 350 mill."

darthv72: "Seems about right."

MS: "Excuse m ..."

darthv72: "I don't hardly play on my consoles directly."

MS:

I can tell people like you are an absolute minority..

If service is up means their fans and fanboys accepted this model and subscribed to it. The near future you will see a big decline because the service is saturated.

shinoff21832h ago

But that's been ms for years. When things aren't going their way they try to change the way things are said. For instance console sales are down, they stop telling how many sold instead telling us how many hours spent in halo or headshots. So it makes sense console sales down just say people are playing on more devices then previous. What they won't say is how many xbox players jumped ship to ps5.

Cacabunga1h ago

Hardware sales are so bad that Sony and Nintendo are blowing the sales off the water with their hardware.

If Xbox are losers, others aren’t..
Xbox already tried everything with Xbox live then subscriptions went down so much that they had to find something else. Their fans subscribed then reached saturation rather quickly.

Hardware and exclusive games is where it’s at! Keep gamers excited, announce decent software and people will support you

Xbox hardware revenue tanks to lowest point of Xbox Series generation

Profchaos5h ago

I'm not surprised surface is struggling they aren't relevant anymore

XBManiac4h ago

Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.

SimpleDad4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

"Despite some early successes for Xbox games on rival platforms, Xbox hardware is down by a massive 31 percent this quarter."
"Without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s overall gaming revenue would have actually declined this quarter."
"Xbox content and services would have only been up a single percent without Activision Blizzard..."
"It looks like next quarter is going to be a similar story for gaming at Microsoft, too."

That is crazy... so A/B/K is carrying the whole Xbox gaming.
Oh and Microsoft will be fine. Windows, Office and Cloud are growing with each pc purchase.

Activision: "we gonna need a bigger rucksack/backpack please"

Microsoft: "why's that"

Activision: "to carry yo' weak ass'

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Top brass have also wanted to start seeing returns on the 100 billion they have put into various Xbox related moves so seeing more multiplatform games is highly likely especially from abk

It's basically saying that PlayStation is the reason Xbox is afloat right now thinks to Ps5 versions of COD

Kornholic2h ago

So basically PS and PC gamers' money is keeping Xbox on life support.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
