I love your contribution!
I think it might be my favorite, haha. It's definitely up there with these:Surprise of the year, this is. The platforming is such a joy, and I haven't seen collecting done this well since Psychonauts. I love it.
Big fan of all the friendly posts, complete with [implicit/explicit] emojis! Our OT can be proud

I had really been enjoying Recore up until Eden Tower forces you to grind out prismatic cores. The loading times and the time it takes to travel the world have really discouraged my desire to finish. I'm about the finish Floor 2 and I just don't know if I have it in me to keep going back and collecting more prismatic cores.

Definitely understandable! Not unlike Emiprime's situation, from last month.
While my earlier post post indicates that there might still be something worthwhile in the game, for folks in your situation, it's certainly clear that many players were turned off at exactly this point in the game.
Well this game surprised the hell out of me. I had played the Demo and new I liked what I played so I picked it up for about $15 at Christmas. Just finished it today with a playtime of about 21 hours (48 cores collected.)
This is my hidden gem of 2016. It is glitchy in some spots, even had to quit out at the last boss due to a glitch that wouldn't let me proceed. But I loved it.
Is it worth collecting the rest of the cores to get to the dungeon locked until you have 75?

Ironically this is about the time all the achievements in the game turned to the rare variety for my play through.

any update on the hdr?
I can't remember hearing any update news of any kind for a while now, be it the T8NK frame or anything else. I wonder what's taking so long?

I'm still waiting for the update and the DLC to kick in to start playing this. I do hope we get some news soon.
Also, as a First Party game, do you guys think this will get some kind of Scorpio patch? (I've seen the game running on a PC and you can tell the difference of the Xbox one version)

Every time someone asks on Twitter they keep saying they'll have something to say soon. So I'm going to assume it's not cancelled.
I'm starting to wonder what could actually be in this patch. We know that there's a fully-playable T8NK dungeon in the game already, and it's been nearly six months since the game released and at least a couple of months since the last patch.
Either it's a very small team working on the update or they've got something more than the T8NK frame planned.

If we were betting I really think it's evens on whether or not this patch has been cancelled.
We're 6 months after release, pretty much everyone who cared about this game has bought it and is finished with it. The addition of a new (cut) bot core and HDR isn't going to revitalise sales. This patch needed to come out shortly after launch (Nov-Dec at the latest) not at some indeterminate point in 2017 (Q2?) when everyone has moved on.
IMO this game has been poorly handled from start to finish and it deserved a lot better.

I wouldn't rule out cancellation. It'd suck, but it's a rough industry.
The official twitter was still saying "soon" as of the last day of Feb though, so fingers crossed things are still happening.
Yep, this game deserved more of everything. More Dev time, more resources, more post launch support...

Maybe the patch gets delayed to launch with Scorpio?

Steam release soon??
Wow, 5 people in a row quoted me and it wasn't to tell me I am wrong!
Could have been the start of a great new franchise.
Yeah hopefully it's still happening and there's more to it than what's been announced, that would be nice.
Preach it. Why spend only a small amount of money making a game that averages 6/10s at budget retail price when you have a game concept that is strong enough to be getting 9/10s and be sold at full price if given a "AAA" budget?
Microsoft once again showing it can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, as if MCC wasn't example enough.
I don't think there would be anything to gain by doing that. I don't know if it will even get a Scorpio patch given how crap the post-launch support has been.
I don't see that happening.
Hasn't it already all been explored?
No. It's still well worth playing if you haven't already, just know what you are getting into.
Yup it has been really poorly handled, which is such a shame.

I'm not counting on it, but it would be cool if they had a decent expansion on top of fixing the technical issues. Maybe an area where some of the terraforming started so we get more than desert / wasteland and caves. I would prefer they leaned more heavily on exploration, discovery, and platforming since that's where the game shined the brightest.
I wouldn't mind more challenge dungeons, but I'd prefer they make each one shorter with a single theme. After going through 90+ shrines in Breath of the Wild, I think I vastly prefer the approach of a single-themed dungeon that takes a minute to 5 minutes to complete over one with multiple parts and objectives that may take hours to master.
Oh, and work in some kind of device where Joule can teleport in the bot she needs without having to return to the crawler, or set up more workbench sites throughout the world.
Oh good.

If anyone missed the thread, there's word floating around of a "Definitive Edition" of ReCore.
We also got a new tweet and a new piece of art from the official twitter account, as reported in that thread above:
Interesting that they've used a night-time scene for that piece of artwork; I wonder if that's something they're adding to the game? Would seem a bit weird to show it off like that otherwise.

I hope a Definitive Edition is a free/cheap update for owners, and that it gives Recore the love it deserves.

Good point. That would be pretty cool if we get some time of day changes. I doubt they would add real-time lighting changes, but maybe a new section at night could happen.

It's surprising (and less than encouraging) that we haven't heard anything yet, but there is still some hope:

Definitely not dead! Thanks for your patience while the team continues to work on T8-NK, HDR and more content.

Someone asked Shannon Loftis (GM, Microsoft Studios Publishing) about ReCore:
The @ReCoreGame account responded, and Loftis retweeted the response:
Seriously, a couple of months will put us pretty damn close to their one-year anniversary. There's going to be a lot (okay, like a handful) of really disappointed people if all we get is the fourth bot and a quality-of-life patch.

Yeah, just a bit surprised at the lack of formality/specificity in the answers being given at this point (given that the announced "early 2017" target has turned out to be so far off the mark), but these recent tweets about the "great stuff" and "awesome updates" that they're working on (and of course the retweet by Shannon Loftis) seem like potentially good news for folks who are especially looking forward to the "more content" part of "T8-NK, HDR and more content".
So I'm pretty happy that MS still seems committed in some measure to this title (also nice to see that both Loftis and Joe Staten still have ReCore art in their Twitter headers).

If I just picked up Duncan and entered the Shifting Sands - how much longer do I have to go until the end? 2-3 hours?
Thanks...I'm just wanting it to be over with now.

I talked about it in another thread, I'm stuck in the tower and it seems to be a bug.
Here in the 2nd floor of the last dungeon : https://youtu.be/BNALHtj1hqI
I've fought ennemis in this arena and the walls aren't disappearing... I quit the game and reloaded, the ennemies aren't there anymore, and when I step on the platform to cross it, the walls come up and I'm stuck. There's no other path, and from what I've seen, I'm not the only one stuck in this area...
So... advice ? I'm screwed aren't I ?

I got 2 copies of recore but want a physical defintiive edition for the artwork.

Any patch notes? Must have changed a fair amount more for it to be such a large update.
