I swear I've never heard this game before, but I guess I won't really be caught up on PS4 games until I actually invest in the console. And from the way you've described it, I doubt I will be investing in this particular game any time soon either.

I hear the multiplayer doesn't fare so well either as the screen doesn't pull out to accommodate 2 people playing and stays focused on player 1 even as player 2 walks off screen.

The art style looks alright though.

Knack never really interested me anyway, but since it inspired that wonderful 'ack-a-thon' at the end then I guess I should thank it. Though the repetitive 'consoles are shit and said consoles cause the games to be shit' thing is going to just carry on. Now to strike at the 6th Generation for all having terrible launches (even though they came out more than a decade ago, mind you) for no other reason than 'why not'.

I still can't imagine getting 'Knack is cack' out of my head for a good few hours now.

Yahtzee was exceedingly negative about Knack in this video.

First review of the new year and already we may have a contender for the Bottom 5 list

Okay, now I have to buy this game just to find out what Barry White chatting up a jar of Nutella sounds like.

I'd love to hear Yahtzee try gangster rap, just once, please.

OT: I'd love to see a character who can only operate through the means of super villainy, like torturing their lover with kitchen utensils is their way of asking what they want for dinner.

Why on earth would watering your plants with blood be considered evil? Blood makes for really good fertiliser.

Yahtzee's theroretical Katamari brawling game sounds brilliant. Which developer might be crazy enough to make it do you reckon?

Yahtzee certainly has a knack for making negative reviews.

Why not just go to Youtube and Watch a Cutscene from Knack? It's free (Well, more free then buying the game) and easy to do.

It?s a shame that going by most reviews this game isn?t very good since it looked very interesting, it could have been the first game to make it on my reasons I might get a next gen console list.

I don't see why anyone is surprised; knack and just about everything on the Current gen console line up is shit. Why anyone would ever buy one of these overpriced VCRs now, rather then in a year or two once they're on sale and have some decent games, is beyond me.

Then again, the Wii U has been out for a year and damn if I'm not hard up to think of a game it has that I want to play.

Maybe Wonderful 101? That new Smash bros when it comes out with it's inevitable half dozen fox clones and disappointing new additions?


eh.

Thank you for giving me more justification for not bothering to buy a PS4.

Now, just verbally ruin some Xbox One titles and I'll be satisfied with not getting that system either.

I have a suspicion that it was originally only planned as a little demo to show what the PS4 can do. After a while they looked at it and thought: "I think we're onto something here!" and then went on to make a "whole game" out of it. And so they did. They stretched a funny little idea so far and thin, it turned out to be exactly that. A gimmicky little bit of nothing.

He did that already with Ryse and Dead Rising 3.
