[Tagg9]

Looks fantastic, I wonder if those were in-game graphics?

 

[rikichi]

looks fukin ace!

 

[Persona7]

That art style is absolutely atrocious.

 

[chertipros]

The graphics look great but that trailer sucked.

 

[tajd]

knack is so mine

 

[mujun]

Didn't do much for me. Looked like it could be fun but I didn't like the aesthetic and it looked very Ratchet & Clanky.

 

[TemplaerDude]

It certainly looked good, though I doubt it's a game I'd interested in playing.

 

[Galang]

Knack is adorable!!

I'm glad they showcased a title like this first.

 

[Enkidu]

It looked interesting but they seemed to take their story way more seriously than they should in a game like this.

 

[Loofy]

The gameplay theyre showing right now(I know its a small screen) doesnt look as good as the trailer..

 

[Krev]

That art style is absolutely atrocious.

Yeah, very bad. Technically it's great though.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks interesting. I kinda want it.

 

[fritolay]

Looks like a tech demo and showed nothing. Blah!

 

[Moaradin]

It looks good. Rather have original games like this than sequel x.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Finally SCEJ is doing something!

Looks pretty good and charming. I wonder if it's an RPG for the Japanese market.

 

[OnPoint]

That art style is absolutely atrocious.

I texted this to my friend. It's hideous.

 

[ActStriker]

It looked clunky in motion

 

[nelsonroyale]

Visuals looked pretty incredible to me. Way above current gen at least

 

[FStop7]

Thinly veiled tech demo aka typical launch game meant to show off a touted feature of the new hardware.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

There you guys go. New IP!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Looked alright (gameplay). Can't tell by feed quality if it looks good or not.

 

[keit4]

As the first PS4 title shown is a little disappointing...

 

[WickedLaharl]

terrible choice of a game to show first. bleh

 

[Raven77]

SONY YOU HAVE SAVED US!!!

Finally a game that gives me that old school playstation feel.

 

[fritolay]

So the first game they show is this? Still watching and waiting for next gen. That was very dumb.

It reminds me of a N64 demo where they show the amount of 3D objects in a game, not impressed. Feel free to quote this on your web page.

 

[Syril]

There you guys go. New IP!

I'll take it. It looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

 

[sykoex]

Really glad to see Sony doing a game like this. Personally I love the art style, it reminds me of Astro Boy.

 

[Slayven]

Felt like a kid's movie. Not a bad thing.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Nice looking game, but that title.

 

[Limanima]

New IP? I m all for it.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Dat art style :-|

 

[jondabomb]

Pretty glad we got this game announcement because nothing else that has been shown has been anything but super serious and trying to be ultra realistic

 

[StreetsAhead]

This was such a strange to show as the first game on PS4. It kinda looks like a bad Dreamworks film graphically, but I didn't get to see if there was much gameplay as I was getting ready for work. Most just looked like cut-scenes.

 

[Empty]

i liked it. my favourite of the games shown.

but maybe i was just won over by mark cerny and his swoon-worthy voice

 

[Spongebob]

Lightning looks fantastic.

 

[bridegur]

Looks great. Always refreshing to see something that looks fun and colorful.

 

[Raist]

Somewhat got a big "Well fuck you Insomniac" feeling out of this.

 

[Zoe]

No complaints about the art style. It fills the gap left by the lack of Ratchet & Clank's presence.

 

[Exterminieren]

Bad choice to show first, but I'm looking forward to it.

And the artstyle is great.

 

[Mpl90]

Knack is very similar to Crash. Seriously.

 

[Subaru]

It looks like "Cloud with meatballs".
Why does Sony "childish" games are so bland? =(

 

[CyclopsRock]

I think the gameplay bits (ie showing of the console OS and the Vita play) made it look 100x better than the trailer did.

[GrayFoxPL]

PS4 Kameo.

Spoiler

I liked Kameo.

 

[Josh7289]

I really like the art style.

How is that a bad thing....
I like the art direction of the game but that's certainly not the good one to showcase first on PS4...

And the amusing thing is that it looks a little like Wonderful 101, that is pretty amazing for a WiiU game. of course the Kamiya game use a lot of tricks when this seems to be a frickin' light/model/shader porn. Now, will people see the difference ?

Also i think the IQ must be incredible on a game like that.

[Hypereides]

Its looks charming.

I hope the gameplay will focus around the amount of particles Knack will be able to use in a dynamic way with real physics attached.

Could turn out to be a good a surprise.

Style wise it looks underwhelming, but kinda pixar real time graphics-ish.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Looked good to me. Good to see a non FSP/Shooter/racing for a new IP.
