A lot of people loved them, but also a lot of people found them infuriating... In the end though, if you managed to do it, it felt like beating a boss and that was our goal!

Oh you mean the main game, I didn't realize it hadn't come out yet. I hadn't seen any press about the DE coming to 360 so that's what I thought you were asking for.

Just curious... Have you (or any members of the team) played BIT.TRIP BEAT? Thoughts on 1.11 (Odyssey) if so?Thanks
We made these sequences as a way of testing the players abilities as a sort of climax to an area. All things said and done, I think that choice was fairly divisive - some people tell us that they absolutely loved them, some people were so angry with us that they stopped playing Ori at that point... It's supposed to pack a punch in terms of challenge, but it's definitely a little sad to see that some people couldn't get over the little bump in difficulty.
I see it as a learning process - I'm using GAF and your guys feedback to understand what you liked / didn't like and that informs my thinking on this kinda stuff. We're currently already working on new projects and hopefully we'll deliver better and better stuff with every single game, so I really appreciate the response and the feedback we're getting, thanks a lot
Haven't played DE yet, waiting for Steam (HOORAY RELEASE DATE!), but the absolutely-perfect-already-in-the-base-game Ginso Tree escape segment reminded me of that level very much. Had the same feeling when clearing both; easily two of my favorite experiences in my 30+ years as a gamer.

Typically new releases are up around 12pm PT, so likely it will launch later today.

Still set to launch at midnight though right? But strange it's not up for preload.
I know, I saw the thread
I got stuck in the water tree scape last night. Lof of tries but didnt succeed.
That is the hardest part by far from what I played, but it wont stop me from playing the game. I know some time this year I will beat it = )
The twitter said an hour ago that it'll release in nine hours. So 8 AM PSTish.

Yup, should be 8am PST / 5pm CEST!
There's a first batch of Merch available on our store here:

There's more coming! If you guys have more suggestions or stuff you'd wanna see, feel free to shoot us a mail at feedback @ moongamestudios.com
And we hear you on the physical release - It's something we're trying to figure out with Microsoft. We're honestly not sure if / when it's going to happen, but we're definitely listening and we're trying to make sure MS does too
We're all really proud of the Definitive Edition - Playing it on one of those sweet 21:9 monitors is just really cool and due to the delay, we also had some more time to optimize the hell out of it. I've been recently playing through it on a Surface Pro 4 and it works just fine now even if you don't have a dedicated GPU in your machine.
Yes please, it makes no sense that a definitive edition of the best xbox one game doesn't have a retail edition.

YAY! I know what I'm [re]playing the next week!
Also, I'm curious. It says $5 as if all versions are $5 - even non-upgrades. Is that true? Is the full game only $5?

No. It only says $5 if you own the original game in your library. The discounted price is only available for those that owned the initial release.

The escape sequences were the best! It literally was only due to lack of skill that you would die. Re spawning super fast basically solves the issue of having to restarting the sequence. You can just keep going.
Looks like I'm got something else to add to my backlog. I had enough fun with the original that I'm more than willing to have another go with more stuff to do.
The first one was pretty bad because you couldn't see the ground very well, and I had some problems on the last one when
The second one was great though I'll give you that.

you were expected to rebound off of a falling rock for the final maneuver, even though when I tried that in Sorrow's Pass for fun it didn't work.

Why do people still say this shit. It's not 2006 anymore.
Gamepads and couch gaming has existed for YEARS on PC.

Also the 75% off for existing owners is only available for a month?
No, if you don't own the original, it is $20. If you do, it's $5. Same as on Xbox One.

Yeah limited time discount is kind of a bummer, but I suppose the developers / publishers think if those who didn't want to buy the upgrade within the first month at the discount were probably going to hold off later on during a sale anyways.
Nice.
Bought for 5€ (i already had the original, but was waiting for this to actually play it).
Felt like forever.

What's with the mixed reviews for the definitive edition on steam already?! Dafuq

You can turn Vsync on and off in the options.
So if you own the original and buy the DE on discount for $5 then does it replace the previous version of Ori in your library? It's really not that big a deal, I just don't want two versions of the same game in my library.
EDIT: Appears so, that's alright. I should be able to just hide the base game.

I did, I have a gsync monitor so it's the first thing I do. It was running at 60 on 120hz when I checked
Went back in to check. Weird, when I turn Vsync off even if I'm at 120h or 144hzz it seems to turn on some sort of cap to 60, when I turn vsync on, it syncs to 120hz.

Entitled Chinese players downvoting the game because it does not have Chinese language support while the original had. Don't worry it will come back up.
Yes.

Yup. We saw a lot of people wanting 21:9 support (and hated that people used a crazy hack to get that...), so we went through the hell of updating every level in the game (and every cinematic) to support 21:9... Don't say we don't love you!
Ori and the Blind Forest DE looks marvelous on these super nice 21:9 monitors now!

That is awesome. I am seriously in awe of the dedication here. Time to play through the game again I guess.

Looks marvelous on all monitors tbh

We were hoping some people would notice the effort we put in to support that feature. Not even GTAV and other games fully support 21:9 (mostly you see black bars during cutscenes), but that wasn't good enough for us, since we hate black bars Subtervotion

Thanks
Just wanted to say you guys are amazing. I played the game near launch and just bought the DE. Looking forward to 1250/1250 the achievement list!

This definitely shouldn't happen... I just played through it on a Surface Pro 4 with a very smooth framerate. Do the typical stuff, update your GPU drivers, etc. and if you still have issues, mail us at feedback @ moongamestudios.com. Your PC should be way strong enough to play at smooth 60 all the way through
