Knack PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Knack may not be a bad game, but it's certainly become a laughing stock over the years. That's not stopping Sony from pouring even more effort into the outing, however, as Mark Cerny has quietly announced that the Japan Studio developed platformer will be upgraded to take advantage of the manufacturer's new PlayStation 4 Pro hardware.

The title was shown-off on a standard HDTV during a presentation attended by Engadget. It was used as an example of how visual performance can and will be improved on 1080p screens, with the title employing supersampling to resolve a much cleaner image.

"So if we look at the scene, again, it's very clean, smooth," he said of the PS4 Pro version, before sighing over the standard PS4 edition. "Look at all the moiré, or all of the shimmery noise in the distance. And this is what we see when we play games on an HDTV and we've learned to ignore it." Better image quality all around, then – always a win.

But if the developer's putting effort into upgrading Knack, where does this leave Bloodborne? Currently there's no word on a patch for one of the PS4's best games, but we've got our fingers crossed that it will be updated to take advantage of the new console. It has to be, right?
