The PlayStation 4 is revealed, and so is it's first game.

As Mark Cerny presented the basics of the PlayStation 4's feature set, he took the time to announce the console's first game: Knack.

Knack is a third-person action game that plays from an overhead perspective. Players take on the role of Knack, a weird little mechanical creature who has the ability to modify his body with a host of mechanical parts.

The game's story revolves around a war between humans and goblins in a pseudo-modern day fantasy setting. Knack is a creature created by the humans to aid in the war against the goblins, who threaten to overrun humanity.

Although most of the video appeared to be CGI, or at least machinima rendered within the engine, a portion of it consisted of actual gameplay.

Much more of the game was shown after the trailer ended, as Mark Cerny talked about the PlayStation 4's social capabilities, which include live streaming, uploading videos of your game as you play it, and more.

Be sure to read this post for our full coverage of the PlayStation 4.
