I think its waste of talent sadly. I wanted something new of Retro, not donkey kong or metroid, even if it was an old franchise reborn.
And the guy saying I didnt play returns becuase I hate they are making. I bought it and beat it twice, and love it, but this was not the time for a donkey kong sequel.
Ifter watching the dev commentary I like the game more, thanks a lot to the magnificent David Wise main theme, that shits all over the DKCR version, and the game will probably be fantastic and fun. But apart of the monkeys, the game is unimpressive graphically. Some of the backgrounds look blocky as hell. And worse of all, the main villians have again very little charisma. More that the tikis, thats for sure, but was it REALLY THAT HARD HAVING K ROOL AS THE MAIN VILLIAN? Im pretty sure somone at retro hates him. And its a pity, becuase in the Rare series, the more charismatic designs where the crocs and K Rool, becuase the secondary monkey desings sucked balls.
The game is going to be fantastic, but it really feels like a let down. Retro needs to be working on games of a much bigger scope than 2D platformers. I love me some platforming, but these guys are capable of Metroid Prime...
All the hyping and secrecy and it just ended up being what nobody was asking for.
Yep, was that really needed? They could have come a year ago and say Retro was making a donkey sequel instead of so much stupid secrecy.
