Kao the Kangaroo

[arnoldfranklin]

There is a new Kao the Kangaroo game coming out but guess what I found on Youtube. There also happens to be a level called "the great escape" in Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 and it looks like someone grabbing something like a lum. Also, it is the second level. Maybe it wasn't a reference. I thought it was but it might not be. This is about Kao the Kangaroo but I needed to share that. Also, here is the trailer of that new game.
Here is the video of "the great escape"

I didn't find out this franchise until recently, Kao looks like the kind of individual that would hang out with Crash or Rayman.

I wonder if this thread should be added to the index later.

Sure, I have just added it there.

Thanks for adding it!

Btw, I wonder if that image could be considered a reference ro R2 or just a coincidence.

So, they officiallh released a Kao the Kangaroo evolution video and it mentions Rayman in it.

Is there an actual quote from an interview that confirms that Kao the Kangaroo was inspired by Rayman?

This game looks fantastic visually or I at least like how it looks. It will be released on May 27th.
Here's an IGN video about it.

Also, here's an official Tate Multimeida video that says the release date.

Also, here's a good amount of gameplay uploaded by GameByte.

Oh, yeah, I was able to see that video. Thanks for posting it here. I hope the game has a good story.

I haven't watched any of these videos, but after reading this thread I've decided to buy the original Kao the Kangaroo trilogy on GOG and try to get into it! I've already started on the first game. So far, I'm only on the third level, and it's reminding me of Rayman 2's environments, and Rayman 1's unforgiving difficulty. But then, it was my choice to play on "Hard", so…

[Hunchman801]

I stopped playing video games on "hard" well over a decade ago, save for a handful of occasions. I've become way too casual a gamer for that.

Funny, I only started playing games on Hard in 2014, which was less than a decade ago. I didn't think there was that big a difference in our ages
