Why in gods name are they making a 2?

Why in gods name are they making a 2?

Because it was a good game and only newbies didn't like the game because of its difficulty

Is Knack the new God Hand?

Because deep down, they know an Ape Escape 4 would be a better choice, but they thought this was funny so they could piss off AE fans, as if the series was the Mega Man of PlayStation franchises

It deserves a second chance. The first game wasn't even that bad, it has some creativity and the gameplay is not bad either.

I spent 2 minutes trying to come up with a witty reply and I actually can't.

Knack 1 was critically reviled, commercially unsuccessful, disliked by general audiences, dull, repetitive, and not even technically impressive enough to properly "show off" the PS4's power, which was the entire point of it existing as a launch title.

There are genuinely no reasons why Knack 2 is a good idea and it's an actual mystery why it's happening.

PS5 exclusive

user we already had an Ape Escape 4

KNACK IS BACK BABY

Knack became a meme and sony thought it was a meme where everyone laughed with them, but really everyone was laughing AT them

Knack is a video game for true patricians that truly understand the arts.

Because making the first game is hard because you design all the shit and assets and engine etc.

The second game is easy and cheap to make.

they've sunk too much money into the first one
might as well throw more money into the second game as well
and so on and so forth untill we like it
then sony will stop making them

This is the actual answer. There aren't many vidya companies with a self-aware marketing team anymore.

Meme magic.

Because executives are old, stagnant fuckheads no matter what company you go to.

>Play through the tutorial section as tiny Knack
>Tons of platforming and obstacle dodging
>This is pretty fun!
>Get to the mid size Knack section
>Nothing but button mashing brawling
>This goes on and on for the rest of the tutorial
>Think things will go back to platforming next level when I'm tiny again
>It doesn't
>Nothing but mindless brawling for the rest of the entire game
>At no point is there any sort of platforming or fun manuevering for the rest of the game.
>Just mashing attack in the most full combat system ever.
>Elemental forms don't give you new moves or abilities
>No transformations at any point in the game, just change in size
>You don't even have control of what size you want to be. You must go through a section as the Knack they want you to be
>Level design is linear with no deviation in routes or exploration
>Boss fights are boring

The only thing good I can say about Knack is that at least the enemy variety is huge

Because people at playstation don't know how to make a platforming franchise in 2017

First game only sold well because it was bundled with PS4, and it was a cheap bundle for a good chunk of time.

Same deal with uncharted, but it only sold well because it got bundled and it is the cheapest bundle available.

UH OH

Platform games are a lost art at this point, even worse for 3d platformers.

Unless you are named Nintendo you going have a hard time making one from scratch.

This game was my childhood. Feels good to see Sony go back to their platformer classics.

When will i get it for "free"?

UH OH

DID SOMEBODY SAY

KNACK??

reminder that this is what NeoGAF actually believes

They are correct.

No idea.
Sony just doesn't know what its doing anymore. First the All-Stars thing, then Knack 2, then all those casual wetern AAA/SJW agendas...

They'd just make the Playstation brand solely jap.

>Because deep down
>deep down
Oh fuck I forgot about this one too.
Welp, I'll just wait the Playstation 5 Pro I guess.

why are they making an emoji movie?

Fucking this. I would gladly play a whole game as little knack.

>Implying Sony doesn't know how to make a 3D platformer
The best 3D platformer in 2 generations is FREE on ps+ right now, what's your excuse

I really think you're cute user.

I wish people actually played this game instead of watching some youtube meme so we could shittalk about how mind numbingly repetitive and boring it is
