Thanks for the demo, very excited about it! I'm certain I will buy Ori, it was very high on my wish list for Switch ports.

First of all, we wanted the naysayers to see that it runs at a buttery smooth 60fps and it plays incredibly well on the Switch.
Sad you saw that kind of comments...
Kudos for doing that awesome native definition AND 60 FPS. It is so nice to see that kind of dedication, something we saw with Hollow Knight and saddly not saw on something like Mark of The Ninja.

Got about an hour in and am not the biggest fan of the combat so far. Will report back when I progress. I may just need a break from metroidvanias.

Having a game like this on switch is kinda great tho.

THE POWER OF THE SWITCH
Can't blame you, Epic offered Celeste and I saw that the same Celeste was on sale so guess who just finished the chapter 7 of Celeste in handheld mode?

Finished it already on PC, but I'm really curious how it looks on Switch. Will double dip for sure. Amazing game

Will pre-load today as soon as I get home. :)

I purchased the game on my brother's Xbox when it first came out. I'm really excited to own the game myself now and dive into such a beautiful world. ^_^

Cheers Moon!

God, you guys are so awesome :D!

Already commented in an earlier thread, that I only played this game on my oldass laptop when it released on steam. My laptop made it run in slow-mo.

However, I still loved the game SO much, I finished it AND it ended up in my top 10 favs ever (despite the slo-mo)!

Last year, I actually considered buying an Xbox one, for this and Will of the Wisps.

You guys can't imagine how hyped I am to finally play this game at full speed (and 60 fps, nontheless)!! 😬

Only downside: Will of the Wisps now probably has to wait to be played till some time after release 😅..

Ori is one of my favorite games, full stop. It's one of those experiences that's meant so much to me that I always want to share it with other people. This new release looks fantastic, I wish your whole team the best!

Holy shit I can now see why this game is so loved. Coming from Link's Awakening, the buttery smooth 60 fps framerate and the incredible image quality (superb anti aliasing, no shimmering etc.) in handheld mode are immediately apparent. Played for half an hour, got hooked, preordered, deleted the demo and will play the game again from the beginning on my OLED and 5.1 sound system!

Unbelievable that Microsoft offers a better port of an Xbox One game than Nintendo an original developed remake. For 20 bucks vs. 60 bucks no less. I bought both and love Link's Awakening remake but Nintendo really has to get a grip on their own hardware!

just played through the demo. it plays fantastic.

when Thomas said up to the tree, I thought it meant up to when you enter the Ginso Tree, but it's just up to when you learn the backstory of the tree, before you get the charge attack or double jump or any of that. maybe about 20ish minutes of gameplay.

Yup, it will! :)



It contains the entire beginning with the prologue, etc. up until the point where you reach the Spirit Tree.

We did the demo for a few reasons: First of all, we wanted the naysayers to see that it runs at a buttery smooth 60fps and it plays incredibly well on the Switch. Secondly, we saw a few people who weren't interested in platformers who then tried BlindForest and got hooked. So we always regretted not having a demo on the Xbox and on Steam, cause there's a lot of people who aren't into platformers, but who still got a huge kick out of Blind Forest once they tried it. So now everyone has an easy, free way of trying it :)

The demo launches at 9am PST / 6pm CEST today (Friday)! :)
Congratulations. Fantastic work. Great HD rumble implementation too. Was it hard to implement?

Awesome, really looking forward to finally playing this!

This is me as well. Have had the game on PC for years and my brother even finished the game on it, but I have yet to even launch it myself. I may end up getting this just for the convenience.

lol I don't understand, it's more convenient to buy another version than play the version you already have?

Great HD rumble implementation too. Was it hard to implement?

It's quite tricky combining HD rumble with the original rumble so we needed to tweak it for each scenario, but we love it so it was worth the extra steps. We have done a few tweaks to make the original rumble feel better for Switch specifically as well, so hopefully it feels nice when you guys play it :)
