"The Germany-based video game publisher Strictly Limited Games and the Japan-based game developer/publisher City Connection, are today very happy and excited to announce that Cave's classic arcade shmup "Deathsmiles I- II" is getting a Limited and Collector’s Edition to the PS4 and Nintendo Switch via the Strictly Limited Games Shop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I don't care for the series but as a collector of Limited Edition sets, I love that arrangement.
COGconnected: Some sequels come as a result of the artists behind it truly believing an IP deserves a second chance, could be improved with just a few small tweaks, or is indeed good enough to warrant a sequel. These ones do not.
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.
Yeah, I know a lot of people who liked the game, and said they wouldn't mind a sequel which improved on the original.
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.
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
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
I wonder what would happen if Knack was multiplatform. Would people defend it that much.
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.
COG writes - A few may be turned off by its art style but Deathsmiles is every bullet hell fan's dream of a game.
