I'm confused, the other poster said you can't backtrack to previous areas.

Still in the work. That's the last thing I heard.
Yeah, we are.
I love you.
I understand that it's possible to be cynical at first, but trust me, we're putting in a lot more content, more areas, more abilities, more story, more art, better balance, etc. etc. - We have the entirety of Moon Studios working on the DE just to deliver the absolute best experience we could possibly make for you guys. This isn't about small bugs and fixes, it goes far beyond that and we definitely think that old and new Ori fans alike will be happy about the results
Loving this.
Can't wait to play it.
Ori is a massive metroidvania. There's just a couple of much smaller areas you can't revisit after beating them for reasons which make sense in the context of the events which take place, but it would still be nice anyway.
Took me ~9 hours to beat my first time through. Can't wait to play the Definitive Edition :-D

Yeah, we are. New Game+, post-final boss exploration, fast travel are all included. We're also making navigating to prior areas more accessible through methods we can't talk about right now. No more "95% complete...but you can't go back what do you think this is a Metroidvania?"
Great to hear!

My thought. I knew I should have held off on buying it.
Great news though aside from that annoyance.
Maybe, maybe not is all they are saying right now.

Don't. Play it, enjoy it, and play an even better version of it again later this year.

Keep it up guys. Considering how much I loved the original version, I can't wait to see what you guys add.

I hope this is only like $5 or so for existing owners.
"spend money, play it and then spend money again to replay the better version"
uhhmm :/
it's a good game but i don't agree with that

That would be better, but this is Microsoft we're talking about.

Better balance? You mean the green frogs can't snipe anymore?
IIRC, the game has a handful of "dungeon" areas that are permanently sealed upon exit, but the rest of the world is Metroidesque and can be revisited at will.

I can't wait to hear some details on this. Length, abilities, date, anything. I'm hoping it's out this year too - I would love for people to judge Ori's best version for GOTY this year.

If it's out this year, I think it'll win by a landslide.

Need to see how much "NEW" content there actually is. If it is just letting you go back to locked areas with one or two new abilities, it's not worth it.
But if it gives you a few NEW areas to explore with NEW abilities, I'll buy the expansion pack. Calling it definitive edition and not expansion pack does cause a bit of confusion for people that already own the original.

That's the main problem with the game, it's a Metroidvania, but some areas are locked when you advance in the game. Worse, it sometimes auto saves, so even if you saved before, to explore one of two paths, the game screws you and locks you from 100% completion.
Still, I sound like I didn't like the game, but let me tell you it's awesome and the controls are incredible. But wait for the definitive version.
Nice, so i'll definitely wait, now.
Eh, once you get the bash ability enemies stop being a problem anyway.

Awesome, I haven't purchased this game yet.
It is published by M$.. so no linux, no mac, no playstation, etc..

After losing several hours of gameplay in multiple instances I stopped playing completely. I'm glad to hear they fixed the bug.
Yeah, we are.
Improvements for loading stutters?

Yup, this. If a game is to be perfect or as near perfect as it can be, it must have no stutters whatsoever. The game, while great, was marred by weird performance, with stutters and such. Also, weren't the animations locked at 30 fps? Will that be fixed?

Yes! Loved this game. Comfortable upgrade path per their twitter. Heck yes. I will definitely replay with the DE pending what the upgrade path is exactly
