How We'll Play Donkey Kong In The Future

[@harrisonmoore3841]

[@dragonpunchdave1350]

Watching this was so trippy and cool at the same time. I would love if something like this was actually released in VR and made a reality. Someone needs to take this idea and make it real. I'd be playing this all and every day. Awesome job, this is out of this world.

Holy crap, from the thumbnail I thought it might have been a 3d printed art piece or something similar, but then when DK started I realized what it really was and, wow, that's freaking cool. I'd love to live in a world where these old games are playable as ARGs.

@@retrohead I've seen it as well :) This DK game would also look so cool using the Lenovo AR glasses I have(star wars one's)🤓 or the Quest 2 in passthrough mode/side loaded. I wonder if you just rendered it or used some kind of AR for it?!? Pretty sweet :) I wish Nintendo would release AR glasses with games like this. I could get behind that. You could also release your own version of this for an existing platform out there. People would pay for stuff like this for sure.

[@ultraneight]

We're ready for augmented reality gaming! VR was cool but kind of novelty. Imagine light weight headsets tied wirelessly to a powerful, centralized server in the middle of your playing field, woods, building, park, warehouse, whatever. It transmits in realtime to the players headsets as they run around in a fps, or mmp game. I'd imagine the cost would be high at first but we're already paying over $100 a day for amusement parks. This is the future, it would make people active and give an edge to those who become physically fit. How is the US military not already funding something like this?

[@YowLife]

This looks cool, but I wonder what the real Atari 2600 version of Donkey Kong would look like in AR.

This is cool and I could definitely see this existing in the future, but I feel like it'll probably end up being a gimmick to play 2D games in AR, you just wouldn't gain anything over playing on a 2D screen.

In donkey Kong you can actually throw the hammer up in the air, so if you had a well timed throw and ladder climb you could bring the hammer to higher floors, he could also hand stand and if you jumped while handstanding you would do a much higher jump which could sometimes let you skip the ladder part

This looks like an interesting AR game

[@radixwp6789]

suitable concept for Silent Hill series

[@adamb89]

The Pixel Ripped series of VR games uses this concept. I mean it's all in VR, but it's like a game within a game. You're in VR, but playing a video game in VR, and occasionally the video game bleeds into the "real" world (in the VR world of course) and you have to do things in the "real" world to affect the video game. It would be kind of neat to see that actually taken into the real world, using pass-through cameras or AR glasses. The game would need to be able to analyze the environment and figure out how to turn it into a navigable stage, which is no easy feat, but by no means impossible.

[@retrohead]
