Love it. Casting shadows would be better thoughNext-gen smoke. Take that, Killzone!

I love the look and visual style of this game. I didn't at first but the more I see it the more it's grown on me
I'm glad also for the kind of game it seems to be; some sort of R&C/J&D type game. Love it.
I also love that Cerny is heading up as game director at SCEJ. I think that these kinds of games are best and most interesting when they're made with authentic more eastern inspired art styles. This is more of a mix of east and west though, but i still find it rather endearing
Looking forward to seeing more of Knack.

It looked like a tech demo / feature showcase to me during Playstation event. But now that I've seen the 1080p trailer a bunch of times I'm liking it a lot better.
And if this really something of a tech demo, I really hope they go nuts with the physics. The character seems well suited to that.

If you saw in the trailer when Knack does a jump-then-pound attack and the entire of his body goes flying along with a ton of dust... That is probably what we can expect.
It happens more than once in video during the conference, though is only pictured once in the trailer.
Also the point near the end of the trailer where Knack 'sheds' his knick-knacks, that will probably be a regular thing too.

Knack is clearly made of physics interactions. He's made out of easily simulated particles (that change shape depending on whether he's good or evil) that coalesce and disintegrate. The whole premise is using physics in a character-led game.

Only Eurogamer mentioned it, immediately after the game was announced on PSMeeting [~2AM EU time]. I say that they misheard Cerny, he talked about UE4 demo right before Knack.
That stuck into my brain as well actually, that it uses UE4. I thought it was smart to do so, as it would help make sure that Sony knows UE4, and pressures Epic early in the generation to get the right optimisations and such in there, much like Microsoft did with Gears of War (but now seem to have banked on doing so with CryEngine 3).
Exactly what I thought, who better to optimise unreal 4 for ps4 than Cerny.

Yes, I am sure Ryse will wow the most when MS shows it tonight, that is, if it isn't being made for xbox0.5 too.
I want some POM goodness for my eyes, hoping Santa Monica and ND show me some tomorrow !

Knack looked ever better this time. Hope it is playable at E3.
Knack really does not play especially well in these highly compressed streams.
Bullshot?
