Thought this article was pretty funny.

So this is a flop, all Sony has left to offer is driveclub and killzone.

Worst.....launch.....ever!

A lot of Sony fanboys. This is why Im not getting one at launch, no interesting games. I want Naughty Dog to announce something first, preferably not Uncharted, the 3rd one wasnt all too great IMO.

This. they are so biased towards exclusives. they always rate them 10-20% better then most other people they rate MPs 5% better then OXM. i stopped subscribing a long time ago after the original killzone got a 9.0 i got it and it was trash and everything else gave it around a 7-7.5 they lost credibility so for them to trash a PS exclusive it has to be really really bad

All the negatives stated there are implemented to make the game really easy for kids. Kids don't have to worry about the camera or figuring out where to go next or doing tough combos. Cerny stated that on EASY mode the game would be incredibly easy. So it'd be nice to figure out if the guy was playing on easy or hard or if he knew at all. If Knack was really a one-button wonder I probably wouldn't have seen so many people die while playing this game.

That's disappointing. It looked like it may have been a charming romp once it received a pretty big price reduction. 

I'll try it if it goes free on PS+ in the future.

Agree, except for SuckerPunch, they are getting up there and if they nail this next game they will be like the next Naughtydog.

I keep telling everyone but talking sense into cows is the equivalent of talking to death ears, sony's launch for the PS4 is just as bad as the PS3's one. Driveclub = Motorstorm Killzone = Resistance And you thought they had learnt something.

Garbage platformer to begin with.

Once I saw how the game looked and played, it was all downhill from there. Nothing remotely impressive at all, at least to me, especially given the powerful hardware involved. :(

Probably with good reason. Last I saw, it looked like skylanders, but without the somewhat interesting monsters.

I thought it was interesting but the gameplay was generic and seems to lack any challenge

I'm expecting at most a 7.0 from gamespot

Man cows will hype anything if it's labelled exclusive to their platform

Skylander was fun for a while. This I would probably enjoy, but for a limited time.

Sort of sad, but not totally unexpected. It's really the only PS4 launch title I was interested in. Second Son can't get here soon enough.

Not surprising in the least. I watched that one gameplay video, and I don't think I can recall ever being so underwhelmed by a glimpse of something that was alleged to be a big deal. Looked like a game designed for toddlers, in every aspect. Had to stop watching, lest I fell asleep. I actually thought for a minute that the gameplay reveal might have been a joke.

Do you even know how wonderful 101 plays? This looks nothing like it.

Actually, it kinda does -- a far more boring version of 101 with the whole assemble together and attack gameplay aspect. Only difference being that Knack seems to assemble garbage parts. Might not be the same core gameplay style at heart but there are at least a few similarities to not dismiss resemblance.

I've never seen anybody really hype Knack but anybody who hypes any launch title is a pathetic fanboy. These are the games they give to the impulse shoppers who can't wait for better games to be developed before buying a console. Nobody is going to waste their good works these days trying to sell to a percentage of early adopters, Not when good game development costs tens of millions now. The last time a console saw launch games worth mentioning was on the original Xbox because they were the new kid in town and planned on losing a fortune on the console anyway. Before that it was the Dreamcast. And before that was the N64. Despite the success of the PS1 and PS2, the launch games sucked as bad the PS3 and 360.
