Not sure why this game gets so much hate, it looks pretty fun to me!

probably the most interesting next gen launch game, which is obviously not saying much but there you go.

Man, that dialog is cringe-worthy...
"It's a new look for me."
"Cool!"
"I'm getting chills."

This is the first really good trailer I've seen from Knack.
and his voice.. ugh. It doesn't match his look at all.
Anyways still not liking it, I want a platformer this looks more like a beatem up though.

I wasnt too impressed by the previous trailers, this one looked good!

Yeah, it looks a bit rough round the edges in screenshots, real nice in motion though.

Wow, way better then the bland stuff we saw at E3..
Indeed. Not only the story looks cool, but gameplay seems to be improved.

If true, this would be the second time SCE Japan made a game that doesn't run at native res (Gravity Rush being the first). Coincidentally, both are on new hardware. I wonder what the hell is going on?

Framerate looks rough.
The gameplay aspects are becoming clearer:
You build up in size as you go, at various story points (looks like 3 at least in the trailer) you bust back down to the base Knack
Multiple materials: Glass, Fire, Ice, Relic (?) for certain purposes
Enemy damage actually makes you shrink, which could be interesting as a mechanic. If they thought this through it means fights could get harder as you do worse, etc.

i totally agree. Will still wait on the reviews tho.
The cinematics look really good to me. I like the cartoonish style.
but whenever Ive seen gameplay, the environments and camera angles make it look desolate and plain. :\
Its not something Ill be getting at launch but I can see it being one of the first instant game library titles for PS+ and Ill probably play it then

Visually I think it looks pretty good. Wish the game didn't look like such a bore, maybe the final release will surprise...
Yeah, I like the visuals in general, but they haven't showcased the game or environments well at all in demos...

The game is growing on me. The same can't be said for Knack's voice, however.

I felt the same way. Knack hasn't looked better than it does in this new trailer.
I didn't even realize the game had so many humans in it, lol.

There's something about the character models that I really love.
They look really...plump and weighted. It's hard to describe.

I'll probably give this gae a shot. I got a kid that would love to play this thing.

Yeah. Looks like a bad Ratchet & Clank game.
I pre-ordered a PS4 with this game on Amazon, but I'm still considering cancelling my order. I should be excited for this game, but I just can't get into it for some reason. I have been there for all of these Sony-mascot games since the beginning (and I love Japan Studio too), but there's just something not quite clicking with me when I see this game. With all else that's releasing this year, I think I may just pass on the system and this game and wait until next year. I think a part of me just wishes we would have gotten Ape Escape 4 again. Game just doesn't look all that exciting even though it's trying to be...I don't know, so conflicted about this game.

I was initially intrigued by the debut trailer, but the E3 demo looked very bland and boring. This trailer did nothing to restore my hopes. This will probably be a skip for me unless they show some interesting gameplay.

I don't think people hate it as much as they see that they push it in the absence of games that would sell you on PS4.
Screens from the video. This looks markedly better than we saw before. Evidently most of the launch PS4 first party games have had a nice boost in visuals. I mean, this looks...actually...dare I say it...graphically pretty solid. Clean, nice lighting, decent textures, pixar like art direction. Still not sold on the gameplay though, but certainly looks a lot more impressive than before. Be interesting to see how it fares critically.
