Ori and the Blind Forest - March 11 (XB1/Steam; $19.99), new gameplay footage
- Thread starter ashecitism
- Start date
This soundtrack sounds amazing. Please tell me it'll get a release alongside the game. Thanks for putting up the video.Dear and wonderful GAFfers,
I already teased about our orchestral recording sessions a while back and we've been working hard on putting together a little 'Behind the Scenes' glimpse of what Gareth Coker, our composer, and the amazing talent at the Nashville Music Recording Studios did:

It's quite amazing to hear that stuff in the game - I fondly remember how amazed I was by hearing orchestral music in a game back when I played Final Fantasy VII and it made all the difference in the world when we finally integrated the orchestral Soundtrack into Ori and the Blind Forest.
11th of March, only a few weeks left! I hope you guys are as excited as we are!

Thank you for the 1080p art work you provided! I can't wait to go home and download it on my xbox one 
.
I can't wait to show my daughter how to play this when she is older.
What will be the next move for MOON after Ori is released?

Will this be coming out on Steam on March 11 also? I don't see a Steam page for this yet? Will it be locked at 60 fps or can I run it at 144 fps on my ROG Swift monitor?

Can't say yet, but I wish I could!
Yup - and all the way. The entire world is connected, no loading times, lots of abilities, light RPG elements and all of that good stuff with chocolate on top!
Yep, Ori and the Blind Forest will launch on Xbox One and on PC the same day and date!
It's not locked at 60, so yes and OMG, I have to try it on a GSync monitor!

Thanks everyone for the awesome support! Love you all

So, I was wandering what animals you guys drew inspiration from when creating Ori? I'm really getting fennec fox vibes.

Every time I see it, I'm shocked by how good it looks. Seriously one of the best looking games I've seen in... ever, maybe. Day 1 fo sho.
Mmmm, stutter and judder here and there (1:45 for example).
And that transition in 1:08.
Concerns about not fluid experience arise again.

Yes, that was totally finished game footage running at 60fps 1080p uploaded to YouTube. A total representation of the game at release.
YouTube.
Your concern is noted.

Looks really good, MS are actually the publishers? Or is this similar to Dust which ended up on the PS4 months later?
I think it was a couple years before Dust hit PS4. This looks to be a little different this time around but I could be wrong.

My concerns are just mine. A Unity game with locked 60 fps in a big game without loadings is something that could raise concerns. I really hope being wrong. Thomas seems an honest guy btw.

I hear your concerns, cause at some gameshows our debug builds have been shown on rather weak PCs (some even without GPUS, goddamit
), but don't worry, we've been optimizing the hell out of it. With 60fps and that slight bit of moBlur that we have, it's really buttery now The game continues to impress with every new bit of media. The visual fidelity makes me green with envy (rookie mobile dev here). How'd you pull this off? This is my most anticipated game right now. I was kind of looking forward to The Order: 1886 but this is the one I really want Can't wait to find out more about Ori and the circumstances surrounding him!

I feel like I need to apologize for the facetiousness friend. GAF has... had an effect on me lol.
My point still stands though.

Been waiting for this! Will go XB1 first but if it's as good as I hope, will double dip on 360 for sure!
On the off chance devs are seeing this:
@OriBlindForest - It would be lovely to get a review code in advance. I still wouldn't hesitate to purchase it day one, but I'd love to get to work on a review and videos for the community in advance.
Waiting for mediocre-looking games to drop is one thing, but if this game lives up to the preview vids it's a disservice not to pay $20. That's practically nothing. I've pissed away more than that before on two tickets to a shitty 2-hour movie that my wife and I walked out of 30 minutes into it.
