Thread 716497514

Why are we pretending to hate this look for Donkey Kong again?

Sometimes he isn't scowling, and any lapse in chad behavior makes boys feel insecure.

>>716497514 (OP)
I don't hate it but I think his old design was funnier because it made him look really intense even in very silly situations. New Donkey acts silly most of the time so there's less of that contrast.

>>716497514 (OP)
It grew on me.

>>716497514 (OP)
Erm...because my influencer told me to??

>>716497770
Half his actions make him furrow his brow anyway. I get how it can be funnier sometimes, but the Smash trailers were bending the old design guidelines as much as they could and some devs were struggling with it.

>>716497514 (OP)
Inorganic, forced.
Also the fur color change sucks.
The fur texture is weird too, looks like he has feathers.

>DK is the size of a grown man.
>Every attractive girl in the Mario series is still (slightly) taller than him.
>Every attractive monkey towers over him the same way Peach does Mario.

It must be corporate policy at Nintendo that attractive women must be 6 foot 4 or something.

>>716498078
>the Smash trailers were bending the old design guidelines as much as they could and some devs were struggling with it
no they weren't bro. all of DKs facial features can move a lot more than any actual humans can.
The idea that his design doesn't facilitate expression is so obviously wrong. such ridiculous bullshit cope propagated to defend the tranny re-design.

>>716498317
Candy has always been taller than him. Did you miss the Jessica Rabbit craze?

>>716498439
>all of DKs facial features can move a lot more than any actual humans can.
I guess if you have paralysis, sure.

>>716498482
>Uhm, did you miss this was always a thing???
No. I'm just saying it's weird that they've never deviated from this once over almost 50 years.

>>716498317
Doesn't really matter. DK can beat the shit out of them.

>>716497514 (OP)
The whole game is extremely ugly. It looks like Splatoon, not Donkey Kong.

>>716498559
what part of his face can't he move further than yours retard?

his old low brow stoic expression was a lot more funny. similar to a real gorilla doing crazy shit but keeping a pretty blank expression. for some reason, the "LE MORE EXPRESSIVENESS" movement think that more exaggerated and animated face = more expression, for some reason. i found old DK to be quite expressive myself.

>>716497514 (OP)
now post the other face he constantly makes and ask again
yes, you know the one, no need to be coy

now post him sticking out his big meaty tongue like a dog

>>716497514 (OP)
>pretending to hate this look for Donkey Kong again?

>>716498748
His brow is stuck perpetually furrowed.
Don't even try to be a pedant with me about the logistics of the muscles in his skull: he's a fucking cartoon character who can't work in real life. His style sheet didn't allow for the shape of his brow to change to the opposite extreme, which is something humans can do.

>>716498847
>you know the one...yes..THAT one..THE hungry banana one?! UGH....

Because spergs hate change.

>>716498847
>>716498928
>>716498953
>He makes a funny face while eating, the west has fallen.
I hate you dishonest little faggots so fucking much.

The look itself would be passable if not for the godawful new way he behaves

The way he constantly has his tongue out (>>716498953) just gives me bad vibes like he was characterized by a furry that wants to fuck him/get fucked by him rather than a cartoonist making a funny cartoon animal

Also the change is way too sudden and drastic after so long, you'd expect this to be the treatment for a revival of a character that went unused for 20+ years and needs modernization, DK has basically solidified his look and behavior over the last 30 years in lots of big and popular media, imagine if Sonic only now got the modern treatment and was the classic one for the last 30 years

>>716499040
>take away the dog you had for 10 years and replace him with a different one
>you complain about wanting the old one back
>"man what a sperg, why do you hate change so much, look how much better and more expressive this new one is"
Spergs like (You) don't understand human attachment

yeah we hate nu kucky kong

i dont really care because i dont have aspergers but i seriously cannot understand how people can like the new steven universe cal arts design over the original. he looks really demented and odd to me

>>716499087
>he constantly has his tongue out
But he doesn't.
The only times this happens during gameplay are when he's near food, eating food, or in the ultra hot climate's idle animation. During normal gameplay he has a neutral expression. He scowls when charging a move or holding items, as well as in Bananza form. He has an :0 face for some idles and near secrets.

The tongue is a less common expression, and he doesn't even have it flop out in any of the banandium gem collection animations.

Why even lie about it?

>>716497514 (OP)
they fucked up his assertive eyes now they have to over compensate by making him angry all the time just like your image

>>716499306
You can find it ugly, but that's not what calarts means.

>>716499306
I like it when he doesn't need dentures to have teeth.

>>716498967
Humans can barely their brow more than 1cm. try it in the mirror now dumbfuck.
Meanwhile DK can move his brow in an absurd range in comparison to you.
that's more than enough.

You're fucking retarded in thinking just because his brow doesn't dislocate and invert that there' a problem or limitation.

>>716498439
>>716498847
>>716498967
You are not the target demographic. Nintendo obviously redesinged him to be more inline with the movie and to appeal to children.
You are pathetic if you feel disappointed by this and should seek an immidiate way to end your life if you're dedicating hours of your life on the internet complaining about this

wokey kong

>>716499184
>take away the dog you had for 10 years and replace him with a different one
Bro, he's had the same design for decades. And with the new generation, Nintendo thought it best to update him. You, a grown ass man, ain't the target demo. Quit sperging.

>>716498967
>to change to the opposite extreme
because that's literally not how brows work you dumb nigger.
the only way to move your brow that way is to bow it out of place with a shotgun.

Most designs don't invert their brow because that's retarded. Sonic, Micky Mouse, every single faithfully humanoid design.. are they bad designs?

>>716499374
>But he doesn't.
He does if tons of people noticed it independently

>>716499625
Its so crazy that they didn't do this.

>>716499625
yeah after googling a bit his redesign really is way worse and just doesnt look like DK. this edit here is really good. again, it doesn't matter to me as i havent owned a nintendo console nor played a nintendo game since 2012 so i have no dog in this race, but his redesign really is weird and unfitting.

>>716499761
Shit non-excuse, I don't see them """updating""" anyone else's design

>>716497770
Pictured: surprised gorilla
>>716498953
Pictured: fat gay guy

>>716499530
>Nintendo obviously redesinged him to be more inline with the movie and to appeal to children.
He was redesigned for Bannaza which started development right after Odyssey. His redesign was used for the movie for synergy.

>>716499762
>Bro doesn't know what eyebrows are
Damn dude

>>716499873
Link gets a new design with practically every console.

>>716499906
Then why didn't they use that design in Mario vs DK or in the theme park mascots

>>716499873
>I don't see them """updating""" anyone else's design
Because there's no need. DK hasn't had a big game liek this in years. Not tomention he's getting a movie of his own and a theme park attraction.

>>716499530
It came out recently than the Bananza design came first and the movie's was based off of it

>>716499906
and old DK is somehow not appealing to children? he was appealing to me when i was a child.

>>716499961
Link is a different character every time and the thing that changes is usually only the art style, DK's change is on the level of pic related

>>716497514 (OP)
Because he looks like a halfway point between a Wallace and Gromit extra, and a og fnaf animatronic, with soijack expressions and furfag looking powerups
There's no pretending, I'm legit glad I'm not getting a system where this design was meant to be part of a big ticket game

>>716499635
>Don't make that argument because it shows how dumb I am to complain about a problem that doesn't exist.
NO, You insisted that you could move your brow further than DK and were objectively wrong.

>>716499994
>Then why didn't they use that design in Mario vs DK
Because they were saving it for Bananza.

i think part of the redesign that looks weird, along with his brow, is how absolutely massive his mouth is. it makes him look like a massive baby like DK jr or something.

>>716500027
>Because there's no need
There was no need to redesign DK either

>a theme park attraction.
They rolled him out like this

>>716500175
If they were saving it for Bananza why did they use it in the movie

>>716500127
>DK's change is on the level of pic related
It's really not, it's just the brow.

I would like him if he was Baby Kong that grew up, and Rare-Kong took on the Cranky mantle.

>>716500307
It really is

>it's just the brow
It's far more than the brow

>>716500214
>There was no need to redesign DK either
Miyamoto wanted him looking closer to his arcade look.
>They rolled him out like this
>>716500175

>>716499873
Pikachu's design changes every ~4 years.
Kirby's had his design overhauled several times.
Marth has a different design in every fucking game.
Fox McCloud's design has been all over the place.
Yoshi got a dogshit redesign decades ago that they're just now starting to revert.
Wario's Warioware design changed radically and then changed back within the Switch's lifespan.
Ganon has literally never had a consistent design.
They updated Bowser Jr literally two years ago.
Daisy just got a big design recently as well.
The entire design language of Pikmin was updated for 3 and again for 4.
Samus gets a new suit design every game and even her height and proportions vary wildly each time.

The fuck are you even talking about?

>>716500359
>Miyamoto wanted him looking closer to his arcade look.
Funny how he didn't want him looking closer to his arcade look for the theme park

>>716500175
You can't "save" it for Bananza if it was already revealed in the movie

>>716500293
>If they were saving it for Bananza why did they use it in the movie
Because the kids who watched the movie are gonna be playing Bannaza and watch the DK movie.

>>716500464
Then why did they make him look like >>716500214 in the theme parks, those were opened the same year as the movie released

>>716500212
Right is too far in the other direction, don't care for it.

>>716500417
>Pikachu
You mean the design changes that happened because the cartoon artists were lazy hacks

The thing that bugs me most is how much they inflate his mouth for no reason. Every now and then I start to feel like I'm actually getting used to the new design, only for him to make any expression where this happens, and it quickly puts me off again.

>>716500807
No, I mean the brand wide design updates Pikachu gets nearly once per generation based on market research.

>>716500212
The edit on the right makes him look at lot softer and lamer. Like if Jimmy Neutron became an ape.

>>716500540
That pic was posted was from the Jap theme park. Not the Orlando one.

>>716500876
He's a dumbass ape doing dumbass ape things. DK has always been a total dumb fuck. All brawn, no brains.
>>716501337
Bananza wasn't revealed yet at the time of that article.

sorry not buying the wokey kong game

>>716497514 (OP)
Why are his eyes in a void?

They're trying way too hard to make him "haha funnee monke" and I'm reminded of John K. somehow. The design itself is fine - not great - but they really need to work on experssions. Hard agree with >>716500876 on the mouth piece.

>>716499862
This is perfect.

>>716501553
You think they made Bananza in under a year?

>>716501553
>Bananza wasn't revealed yet at the time of that article.
The movie was out for a year already

>>716501553
The US one still looks like the old DK design. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they update it in the future though, especially with the Mario movie sequel coming soon.

>NoooO! Nintendo HATE Rare! This is an outrage
>the game frequently references DKC, and Rare, and has K.Rool in it, and even references Banjo Kazooie a little
Those people all went real quiet, didn't they?

>>716501950
>and even references Banjo Kazooie a little
[citation needed]

>>716502059
Weird rocks with eyes is significantly more a Banjo thing.

>>716501663
>You think they made Bananza in under a year?
No, dipshit. The argument was that they were saving the design for Bananza.
>>716501667
>The movie was out for a year already
And? That's the movie and Bananza's a game. Plus, everyone else looked slightly different anyway. The choice for synergy was all on Nintendo.

post poppy kong NOW

>>716502151
I legit thought we were getting a new Banjo when they showed off the trailer for the first time.

>>716502245
whomst

They made Donkey Kong more dog-like because he is Pauline's pet.
And this is a good thing.

>>716501950
It's not enough to defeat an enemy, you have to remind them of their loss.

>>716497514 (OP)
People really just don't like when he makes silly smiling faces because thats so different from what we are used to
Its very likely that whatever game comes next with him will have a brow more furrowed than before

Because any buff anthro makes you think of furries, but I would concede on just stylized animal forms that look like the animals from Country/64 being the better outcome than buff mutant freaks.

Yes. It's even more blatant when you first revisit Outset Island. The characters treat Link like he got older, and the pigs you catch in the beginning will grow to be ginormous, but Link's model never changes.

It was one fucking game in a sea of Toon styled games. And they passed it over for a sequel in favor of Crossbow Training, despite being the best selling game in the series up to that point. Meanwhile, Wind Waker got TWO fucking sequels, despite its reception and sales.

>>716507727
TP and OoT are the only good "adult" Link designs. Artwork SS Link is a little too plain, in-game SS Link is a goblin, BotW/TotK Link is a manlet twink who's barely taller than a fucking child this is funnier in Smash because he's literally the same height as Young Link, and HW Link is too visually busy.
>>716507938
Because Nintendo can't into color design or lighting anymore.

>>716508040
Movement isn't gameplay? How odd. You really would be the expert on movie games, I suppose.

Sage all corporate threads

Neo Nintendo hasn't made a good game since 2004

they gotta add a hard mode to this
does nintendo ever do something like that?

>but for most of the game he looks like a slobbering retard
He sure doesn't, since he has the expression in the OP most of the game. But you haven't played the game, so you're just typing out your ass.

>>716508118
You move around in 30fps in an empty open world that gives you infinite lives and never meaningfully challenges you. Even if you collect no upgrades there's no difficulty. DKC was famous for being hard. Even DKCR and TF respected that.

>>716508186
You wouldn't know, you don't play games. Off to /pol/ with you, nigger.

>>716508312
DKC is easy
Bananza being easier doesn't change that kek

>>716502193
Seems to me more like they hadn't settled on their final design by the time the DK section of Nintendo World was in development.

>>716508312
>You move around in 30fps
Already wrong. I accept your concession.
>Even if you collect no upgrades
What upgrades do you "collect"? Also, no upgrading means you die in a single hit, meaning it's harder than any dk game before.

>>716507278
You're focusing on branding over what those projects actually were.

Toon Link was used as the placeholder design for the GBA link cable experiment that morphed into LttP+Four Sword. They used it because it was the current project and they already had ref materials usable by Flagship, the contractor they offloaded work to. Already having assets from that led to them being reused for Minish Cap (same reason you get OoT Link sfx in both games instead of WW). The separate GameCube game started as a Camp Marvelous project, got downsized, was swapped to Tetra Trackers because --again-- the assets were already there, before finally settling on Four Sword Adventures to reuse a ton of assets.

The DS games were, by the devs' own admission, basically just training for new hires done on the cheap. Phantom Hourglass reused WW for these same reasons, and Spirit Tracks tried to distance itself while keeping these assets because, *again*, shoe string budget and more employee training than earnest project.

Crossbow started as a crunched expansion pack asset flip, but the team was burned out and made a game THEY wanted to make instead.

TL;DR, you're ascribing intention to bad management and dev issues.

Actually he's way bigger, even bigger than NDC humans are. You're tricked into thinking he's smaller because all of his enemies are either the same size or bigger than him.

>>716508698
Who are you quoting? I think he should be expressive but this is too much.

>>716508675
>16-something pretty dense levels
Please don't lie. It's more like 12 levels of content and ~9 full areas.

>>716508782
This face is literally perfect. What's the problem?

>>716508782
NDC is full of 5'6'' Japanalogi4. DK is ~6 feet.

>>716508116
Just mod them all to look like TP Link. Simple.

>>716508283
The tongue thing he does is so stupid looking.

What are the lore implications of K Rool going "So this is a human city?"

>>716508116
>BotW/TotK Link is a manlet twink who's barely taller than a fucking child
I love how TP Link mogs the shit outta him. Dude's jacked.

>>716499306
His Bananza design is distinctly different than the generic DK art. I think he looks fine in Bananza but awful in the new general art.

>>716508697
>Guys, we're crunched on this game. Should we use the extensive design docs we have on hand or make brand new ones when we're already behind schedule?!
They chose the former until ~2013. It's mostly dev inertia. If you want to have an autistic victim complex about this, be my guest, but the reality is that they defaulted to Toon Link for the cheap projects for years because they kept choosing to lean on what they already had and saved some time doing it.

>>716508413
>DKC is easy
It was harder than anything Nintendo made in the past 30+ years.

>>716499306
It'll just take time to adjust. Doesn't help that the non-Bananza renders make him look unflattering.

grim. utterly fucking grim shit.

>>716509110
and yet, it's still not a difficult game anon. vidya has been getting easier as a whole and nintendo makes games for kids.

>>716508697
You may as well say you've never been employed if you don't get why stuff that needs to be finished quickly relied on something old and busted for years.

>>716500127
always wondered why they made him look like a goofy british dude in this art

>>716508935
The Mushroom Planet is:
A) Populated by humans
B) Powered by bananas
C) Covered in jungle islands
D) Also inhabited by intelligent animals of all stripe

It's such terror now

>>716509251
I expected junk to be total filler but somehow there's so much fucking content.

>>716509483
Same. I liked it. The vertical digging aspect was a change of pace, and I really like the odd, goofy-yet-melancholic feeling the fractone theme has. I'm surprised I ended up liking "literally just rock dudes".

>>716502708
I think when (or if) there will be another DKC game, he will look closer to his Rare design.

>>716509301
Bro what? I have that exact build TP Link has.

>>716509701
Doubtful, since Bananza, MKW, and the movies are supposed to be a big push for DK and the will want brand-consistency. Besides, this design reallt isn't different enough to anyone but DKvine autists to split hairs over.

>>716509251
>Ingot
Tutorial, same size as Divide + Junction even when you come back postgame (and those two together still aren't half as much content as the real stages).
>Hilltop
Just barely, smaller than other real stages.
>Resort
Same as Hilltop.
>Landfill
>Racing
>Groove
These three together are slightly more than one proper level.
>Penultimate area
>Core
These two together are slightly more than the proper levels.

>Tfw the last game to have Rare DK will be a Mario Party game

>>716509747
yeah. you are not jacked. you are an average young male that has lifted something heavier than 5kg once in your life. maybe in Muttmerica that is considered fit, but its what the average man looks like here in scandinavia

miyamoto won

>>716509870
Ah, I left out resort and racing. Resort was pretty dense. Racing was waaay to small. Recall that we are talking density of content, not just level size.

>>716506747
>only for Bananza to be so full of Rareware love that they brought back the fucking Kremling Krew and K. Rool
Only in the very last level and they're just reskins of the existing enemies. The leaks got me so hyped until I found out how little they're involved. It's an amazing finale but 90% of the game still has little to do with Donkey Kong.

>>716509979
why in the actual fuck did they give him creepy realistic wet gums?

>>716510027
Okay, fine, fair enough.

Point is it's not 16. 12 is the most I could call honest.

>>716509979
Allow me to quote rare-obsessed autists:
>>716499473

>>716506750
Wind Waker was the game that got me into the Zelda series and I still think the art style is shit and I never want them to do anything like that again unless it's a top down Zelda, because God knows anything is better than the new toy-like art style.

The face is fine.
I dont think people are talking about how the body proportions have changed a bit.
He's less beefcake more "barrel-chested".
I don't dislike it either, I just dont think most people have acknowledged.

The DKC designs are forever tethered to horrendously dated CG render sprites.
They've just never really been that appealing to me, and DKC is an ugly game.

>>716507631
Bananza feels like a modern take on a B&K/DK64 game and it's fucking amazing.
I'd kill for this team to tackle a new Banjo game but yeah, never ever.

>>716510039
>Little to do with Donkey Kong
Do we really need games to be the exact same old shit? Do we have to say it's "not really (thing)" every time we get new stuff?

>>716510292
Nobody talks about the body changes because they're hard to shit on. His new build is great.

>>716506149
They just grafted DK's proportions onto the bananza forms
>Wide body
>Massive arms
>Stubby legs
Really ties them together as a set

>>716507278
>>716507727
I really fucking wish they would return to this style. It's not like it was realistic in the same sense as western games, it still has a very obvious stylized look. But I'll take almost anything over reusing the botw style again.

>>716507631
Feels like DK64 if it actually came up with something unique for DK to do and was able to do Tooie size levels but fast paced.

>>716508116
Skyward Sword's art was the biggest fucking scam.

>>716507278
People love WW tho, it just hasn't been re-released on a successful console lol.

>>716510039
>little to do with DK
Yeah, the kongs and monkey characters are NOOOTHING like DKC. Having Cranky, Rambi, Diddy, and Dixie? Not DKC at all. The ostrich, elephant, and snake elders and transformations being almost 1-to-1 Expresso, Ellie, and Rattly? NOT DKC! The endless DKC characters as the fossil collectables? Absolutely the furthest from DKC. The 3 sidesceolling DKC stages? The DKC music? You better believe that shit ain't DKC.

>>716510305
>Bananza feels like a modern take on a B&K/DK64 game and it's fucking amazing.

>>716510661
Concession accepted.
Bananza made me go back and replay BK. Had a lot of fun.

>>716510661
you are so fucking mad lmao

>>716510613
why did everyone have these weird bimbo lips in SS?

>>716511113
Attempt at an art style.

>>716510613
link looks like a gay scandinavian crossdresser here. why cant they just make him look like a normal male in any game other than TP?

They just turned DK into a gooner.

>>716510661
It's true. Why are you 'jaking?

I have yet to see tendies not defend their friends at Nintendo

>>716498317
Player characters are short for gameplay reason. Fromsoft protags are all manlets too

>>716497514 (OP)
He looks fine when he's not making Amy retarded face like the panting/tongue out, or when he closes his moth and it looks like a giant tumor. They're trying too hard with his expressions and it makes it worse that he's stylized like Crash 4 despite the other characters having normal fur

>>716512230
Yes, the gameplay reasons for your girlfriend to look down on you, of course.

>>716511698
So you admit they are my friends? Curious.

>>716497514 (OP)
>pretending
I like Bananza a lot but it has 2 major flaws
>1
Its too fucking easy.
>2
DK's redesign

The rest are minor nitpicks or "could have been better" stuff.

>>716511698
I think the last animal crossing game is bad

>>716497770
Rare!Kong is a stonefaced muppet. He's not even a gorilla. He's a battletoad.
Nintendo!Kong is expressive. And a gorilla.

>>716509998
>you are an average young male that has lifted something heavier than 5kg once in your life.
Bro, you're a sheltered sperg that never goes out. You have no room to talk.

>>716510613
Just mod TP Link into it.

>>716518221
truth hurts. not saying youre in bad shape if you have TP links body, just that youre not jacked. dont know why youre lashing out and projecting so much because of that.

>>716497514 (OP)
Because Raresnoys refuse to grow up and let go of the past.

>>716518323
is there a mod that makes him look male?

>>716497514 (OP)
I'm not pretending. It genuinely sucks.

>>716497514 (OP)
WHY IS HE FUCKING ORANGE IN THIS GAME

I just hate the goofy behavior

>>716497514 (OP)
I still like rare DK more but this one works more with all the crazy facial expressions he does

>character whose name means Jackass Monkey
>acts like a jackass monkey
No fucking way.

>>716507938
The saturation on DK's fur skyrockets when you have a full Bananza meter. It goes back to normal when the meter depletes, but it's so easy to fill up that he'll be bright more often than not.

>>716518934
>but it's so easy to fill up that he'll be bright more often than not.
Yeah, this bugs me a lot more than it should. I wish you could buy something with your fossils that would keep your fur color it's base color at all times.
