Why people assume that making a new Donkey Kong is lazy or lacks effort?

Rare evolved the DKC series into Donkey Kong 64 on the N64. It was amazing.

Since then the Donkey Kong series hasn't gone to new scales and I've been waiting for so long to see what's next for DK. DKCR was great because it bringed a lot of nostalgia but I can't get excited for another one because ultimately DKCR didn't go in any new directions.

I think Retro has the ressources and the potential to bring DK to the next level but they won't, apparently.

What is remembered more fondly? DK64 or DKC? Sometimes, 3D is not better.

It may not have innovated, but it did everything it tried masterfully.

I agree that DKCR did everything it tried right but is a sequel which looks strongly similar really going to have the same impact? I think not.
