Here is what a new Donkey Kong game could look like in Unreal Engine 4

YouTube’s ‘CryZENx’ has released a new video, showing what a new Donkey Kong game could look like in Unreal Engine 4. For Donkey Kong’s fur, CryZENx used the Fur plugin from Neoglyphic Entertainment. As most of CryZENx’s recreations, this one looks really cool, so be sure to watch the video after the jump! Share on [...]

I prefer Retro Studios's Tropical Freeze title, though watching this video has me craving for an open world Donkey Kong game.

Spyroo3324d ago

Tropical freeze was overrated honestly I didn't enjoy it as much as people say

...
DK looks like he got into a fight with a rogue Drying Machine, and lost.XD
Soooo much static-like hair sticking up straight everywhere.XD

Donkey Kong: Lightning Storm

Tzuno3324d ago

I prefer Snes ones, burn this with napalm.

Omnislashver363324d ago

Same, I hope they get these kinds of graphics on a 2d DK title. Preferably Donkey Kong Country 4.

deafdani3324d ago

Donkey Kong Country Returns is basically Donkey Kong Country 4.

Tropical Freeze is the 5th one in the series. And it looks superb.

Omnislashver363324d ago (Edited 3324d ago )

Eh, Returns and Tropical Freeze just don't seem nex-gen enough for me to call it DKC4. Something about those games being on weak hardware, and the art style trading blows with SNES. I mean, SNES had a lot of detail for it's day being pre-rendered 3D, and if the new ones don't completely demolish the old style in 2014, I just can't consider it to be a full sequel, more like a mid-quel.

And also the evolution, DKC3 had vehicles and an expansive world map as well as switchable characters. Returns and Tropical Freeze just don't do it justice.

deafdani3324d ago

Did you play Returns or Tropical Freeze?

I have, and I think both do the Donkey Kong IP complete justice, and then some. Especially Tropical Freeze, which is easily one of the best Wii U games and (in my opinion of course) the best 2D platformer on the console.

oh god that is awful! Give me Retros anyday.

I've been following this, it's a shame as Billy is a POS and needs karma, but karl and his team really fumbled the court case. I'm not surprised at the verdict from the judge as the case was never really about his known cheating, but the seemingly now false claim from karl about apollo's passing being attributed to billy, and his lack of willingness to meaningfully backtrack and apologise for the claim.

Jingsing77d ago

Jobst also has his own controversies that were shown on Discord so I can't have much sympathy for him either. He is just one step away from that old tired angry at everything right wing manosphere.

SGT_Squirrel76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

"angry at everything right-wing manosphere"? What on earth are you talking about? lol You must be a libtard looking in the mirror again.

Alos8877d ago

Dude crossed a line when he made that claim about Apollo. Seems the second that was brought up the courts lost all interest in the cheating allegations and just focused on that instead.

LoveSpuds77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

What i find interesting is that i had only really been exposed to Jobst's content in respect of the court cases, so I thought it was a slam dunk that Billy would lose. Goes to show the dangers of relying on one interested party's 'version' of the facts I guess.

I am still left in no doubt that Mitchell is a scum bag mind you, and it really stings to thing of him getting that pay out too.

GooGobbler77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Queenslander? I'll talk slower then. HAHAHAA

gigoran877d ago

I don't support either side passionately. One is a accused cheater with a lot of evidence against him, and the other has allegedly said some pretty spice stuff in the past. With this court case settled now I guess both of them at some point has told lies. I would think the right side to back is the one that is trying to prove Billy cheated.

If this game's still in the works, I'll be excited for it - it's been too long since we've gotten a brand new DK and that concept sounds like a good test for the Switch 2

The Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo just hit Nintendo Switch.

Guess I know what my kids and I are playing tonight! Looks just our speed. (They sure as heck aren’t playing Sony’s stealth-dropped free Silent Hill.)
