Retroanálisis | Diddy Kong Racing

[Indyana]

Gran análisis y gran juego Franchuzas. ¡Qué recuerdos de los buenos tiempos de Rare!

Por cierto, no sé si lo habéis visto, pero en GAF Shiggy se ha marcado un pedazo hilo recordando uno de esos juegos perdidos de Rare. El Didy Kong Pilot, dejo aquí el mensaje inicial y un enlace al hilo. Obviamente está en inglés.




The first one ist from a late 2001 build, the second one from an early 2003 build which was later transformed into Banjo Pilot. It looks like they build two entirely different games - the 2001 version looks way more ambitious and unfinished though.
_____________________________________________________________




Single player modes in the 2001 version:
- Racing
- Dog Fights
- Stories
- Battles
- Clock Race

In addition, it should've had the opportunity to play with the D-Pad and a tilt sensor; the latter method was never properly implemented (did not really work).


Characters:

Crappy Kong only appears when the cursor is on him, otherwise he disappears. A few weeks later he was removed entirely. On the right you can see the character screen from Spaceworld 2001.

Official description by Rare:


______________________________________________________



It's kind of weird that the latest Diddy Kong Pilot build dates back to early 2003 as Rare was officially sold in September 2002. This version was originally shelved, a different team then started Banjo-Pilot with a Voxel engine, which was too expensive. Thus it was decided that the team should just reskin the DKP 2003 build.
