Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Spirit Trials
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
Ori is a metroidvania that has a heavy emphasis on platforming, and one of the reasons I love it so much. Its honestly better than most platformers in my opinion as well. i once said it was a better platformer than New Super Mario Bros U, and I still feel that way. Ori has great platforming, and during the boss phases or whatever you call them, it really shows
Added bonus, its also a great Metroidvania. This and Hollow Knight are prime examples of this genre and how good they can be.

Ah, like racing against a friend who isn't online in racing games.
It too bad we didn't get a release date along with this announcement. I'm thinking probably October or November 2019, if I had to guess.
The constant dashing gives movement a very jittery feel that I'm not a fan of, but doubling down on the best parts of the first game is a good idea.
Sonic Colors is likely the common point they're both drawing from.
Kinda weird it doesnt get the huge attention here. They game will do great thats not gonna be a problem. But the game wins best Xbox One game, best skill game and is the only game that wins two prizes as the Gamescom awards. Yet the threads struggle. Maybe everyone knows its amazing and is day one buy already. :)
I hope this replaces those auto-scrolling sequences from the original. The Ginso Tree soured me on the game so hard. This time attack stuff might scratch that same itch.
The Ginso tree segments were the best parts of the game?
Stuff was amazing. Combined all that you have learned into one amazing segment. The rush was great.
Glad you guys enjoy the Spirit Trials! :)
We tried a TON of things in Pre-Pro reg. Ideas for additions to the genre and the Spirit Trials was one of the things that got us all addicted early on - it feels like 'Trials' in many ways :) Since the controls for Ori are so intricate, you can really master the hell out of each track - you'll race just to improve your current time by a few milliseconds and it's super addicting to race again and again until you finally beat your friends best time :D
Honestly, at first we also weren't sure if something like races would fit Ori or would be that fun, but then we had some of our devs compete for better times til 4am only to beat another dev by a few milliseconds... it's awesome :D
And there's a lot more we haven't even talked about yet, stay tuned :)

Tried my best yesterday, but damn the "ghosts" were way faster than me :D
Were these runs from you devs or only from gamescom attendees?
They're only from Gamescom attendees, but some of these folks are pretty damn good :D
Crazy :D
would love to try it again tomorrow, but the line was already quite big yesterday, will probably much longer now on the public days, the booth is very beautiful tho
I'm in love with what i've seen so far from Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Cant wait for what's next and wish you people at Moon best of luck on the development of the game!
This looks incredible. I still wish I hadn't seen that video because it spoiled a whole bunch of abilities.
On the other hand, I don't know what I expected...

Nice! Would it work cross platform tho :p
Still, look out Mario Kart, there is a new challenger haha!
