GamePro: Ninety Nine Nights II Preview

Call it boring, call it repetitive, or call it brutally tough but you've got to admire a game that's unapologetically hack'n'slash. Ninety-Nine Nights II is nothing if not that, but according to producer Tak Fujii, it's also more than that.

Here's what you need to know: There are five playable characters for the singleplayer campaign and three announced multiplayer modes survival, race, and escort. In the campaign, players take the role first of a warrior named Galen to slaughter hordes of dudes in plate armor and handfuls of large monsters that glow in colors like bright pink.

Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.

The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.

rainslacker2031d ago

Yeah, I know a lot of people who liked the game, and said they wouldn't mind a sequel which improved on the original.

SuperSonic912031d ago

Knack 2 is so much fun for couch co-op.

sprinterboy2031d ago

Great for co/op keeping the kids entertained

Platformgamer2031d ago

you stole the words from my mouth.
knack is so underrated

NotanotherReboot2031d ago

So how come "loads of people" didn't buy the game?

Teflon022030d ago

Half a milli is pretty fine for that game actually

rainslacker2030d ago

Loads of people did. Loads of people also played it on PS+.

Although, I don't really know what the actual numerical value is of a load, unless it's the kind of load that we usually see used to criticize Sony or its games.

The great dunk spoke, and knack 2 was goty before it even dropped. Spaghetti. Meatballs. Puerto Rico.

Amplitude2031d ago

Knack 2 and Kane and Lynch 2 were so good
Cool article though aha mostly all true.

Still waiting for Kanye and Lynch 3 to solve that insane cliffhanger ending

PhantomS422031d ago

I will always want more Naughty Bear. Those games are like bad SyFy movies, just so awful but so fun.

Knack 1-2 was Fantastic...,.... hope Knack 3 being developed.
Can't wait for Ratchet and clank 2
Ps4

King_Noctis2030d ago

I wonder what would happen if Knack was multiplatform. Would people defend it that much.

rainslacker2030d ago (Edited 2030d ago )

I think people probably wouldn't even pay attention to it at all. There is no denying that exclusives do get a bit of a bump in notoriety. Same could be said for any number of mid-tier game which is multi-plat. It doesn't really get that much attention outside of an announcement, maybe an occasional screen shot or marketing blurb, and then some reviews on release. Quite a few mid-tier titles that are exclusive...especially those from 1st party, get a lot more attention.

That being said, the first one was pretty fun for a launch title. The second one was really good, although still had some room to do things better.
