Thread 725482738

This Donkey Kong Country spiritual successor releases tomorrow. From playing the demo, I feel this is significantly better than anything retro studios has ever made. And its also better than anything nintendo has made in the last decade. Will you try it?

no i won't. if you want real donkey kong country spiritual successor you play marsupilami hoobadventure

>>725483000
rajesh speak properly

>>725483052
you first. your shitty game is nothing like donkey kong country. marsupilami hoobadventure and yooka laylee impossible lairs are the best ones available that could be said to be "spiritual successors"

>>725482738 (OP)
I'm going to play it. Australians are quickly cornering the "old Nintendo platformer" market.

>spiritual successor
You know buddy throws were like 1% of the gameplay in the DKC franchise, right? And it wasn't even in the first game. On top of that, this looks MUCH worse visually. Sorry anon, you can't use the best 2D platformers as your comparison unless your shit is very, very good.

>>725482738 (OP)
wait, how did he land on the thorn and not take damage?

I played through the demo and did the challenge level. The main way they leverage the platforming mechanics is rolling off platforms to do a double jump and throws are mainly for reaching higher platforms. Roll chaining to speed up is also in, which is sorely lacking in retro shit. The game controls smooth as butter and feels heavenly to play. The webm is demonstrating little puzzler segments, like when you find a secret in DKC and get to do a little banana grabbing mini game, except here it's obviously a lot more fun. Finding secrets in general feels way more fun, so it feels like a union of the best bits of old and new Nintendo style design, with all the cool rare stuff included. It's measuring up to be top notch.

Bonus stage was over so he automatically walked off.

Yes it is

>>725482738 (OP)
>Will you try it?
No. I have no interest in playing a puzzle game centered around the fucking team up mechanic of DKC2. That's fucking stupid.

>>725485658
It's not a puzzle game, it's dkc. Look at the trailer.

Oh nevermind it's retarded. I'm sure you have toddslop to play

>>725485861
Wow! It's literally the thing I said it was! Good argument, retard!

this pixel"art" is really the lowest of lows. If they taught kids aseprite in middle school I'd expect all creations to look like, but you just know it's some guy in his 30 with receding hairline who did this. Drew his shitty turtle unshaded, made 3 frames of animations and thought "yep ! that's my MC". This gives me the ickiest of icks. If you want to be lazy about gamedev just go 3D

>>725486035
>old game but difficult for actual adults with smoother platforming and more complicated level design, literally a dream come true for platforming fans
>REEEEEEEEEE KURRRRRWAAAAA

>>725486271
>made 3 frames of animations
Bruh what the animation is smooth as fuck. It's Celeste tier pixel art

>>725482738 (OP)
soulless generic artstyle
why do so many indie games look like this?

>>725486282
>old game but difficult for actual adults
>posts a webm of him failing said old game
What did he mean by this?

>>725486271
>i want games made by children
Weird, but okay

>>725486423
>soulless generic artstyle
Show me one other game that looks like this. I sure would love to play it.

This image strikes fear into the heart of the poland.

>>725486736
Literally Celeste.

>>725487272
>literally a game critically acclaimed for its pixel art
errrrrmmmmm okay

if you"re going to shill your game you could at least have some modesty
this looks like its going to peak at 40 players and your posting just lost a sale

>>725486271
That duck walking animation is the most soulful thing I have ever seen

>>725487376
>this looks like its going to peak at 40 players and your posting just lost a sale
It's not my game and it had 1300 backers on kickstarter and the trailer had 72,000 views on youtube. I think it will do okay for a game with zero advertising.

What's the problem? Can't play a game that's not popular on twitch?

>>725487346
>according to journalists...
Yikes.

AI generated thread made for the purpose of advertisement. Who the fuck would say
>I feel this is significantly better than anything retro studios has ever made

The trannymai poster being involved in this game somehow isn't helping your case

>>725482738 (OP)
Looks interesting, I will monitor it.

Wow this game is causing a lot of butthurt already. How do aussies do it?

>>725488179
Retro studios SUCKS

>>725482738 (OP)
That's not DKC in the slightest, that's just Kaizo-lite #2891982. I do like the duck.

>>725484720
>every jump is a double jump
this ain't dkc it's closer to celeste

>Windswept is a love letter to a period of gaming where collectathon platformers reigned supreme, trying again was the norm, and players only had a game manual to guide them.
This isn't a collectathon. If you can't even describe your game properly it's only reasonable to assume it's shit.

>>725489986
Play the demo numb nuts

>>725490173
Why, does the demo reveal all the trailers and screenshots are fake and the game actually plays like Banjo-Kazooie?

>>725489626
That's a hard mode level. The game has normal levels where you collect hidden coins and secrets, and you can use them to unlock challenge levels and minigames.

>>725490287
Anon, open up the steam page and play the demo

Another trailer showcasing more typical levels.

Yet another trailer.

What a great year for platformers.

shame about the clown music

>>725491323
It's duck music.
