I'm surprised they're doing this, as I thought the game sold poorly? Did we ever receive any sales numbers?

Sold poorly is always dependent to the target they had. What for us looks like low sales may have been their expectations.
Load fast on my standard 7200rpm drive

Very fast load times, way faster than the Xbox One version.
Microsoft doesn't sell games on GOG, unfortunately. Ori wouldn't be on there if it weren't for Nordic.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this game, fan of the Devs so I picked it up on Xbox after launch and Played it exclusively on my PC. Despite a limp and padded ending, the mechanics and characters were really enjoyable and a spruced up version would be a nice little gem In the catalogue

Oh great, now we are getting definitive editions in the same generation. The video game industry is so dirty compared to other entertainment industries.
Edit: they will probably announce this at their gamescom presentation next weekend.

I think the longest load time I've seen on PC was 16 seconds - and this the area (the largest one in the game) that the Xbox One version took, if I remember right, about two and a half minutes to load. You could say it's a bit of an improvement.
This was also prior to the game receiving any of the patches that supposedly reduced loading times.

True. It just seems like Microsoft normally has pretty high sales expectations. But maybe they didn't with this one. I would also love to see a sequel. There is strong potential for a great game there.
It was a budget release, so it wasnt being treated as a AAA game.

Had really bad experience with WinStore trial version

ReCore has the potential to be a bigger deal. The protagonist has an alright design and gameplay seems to have some really enjoyable aspects. If Armature is allowed to do another one, we could have a very good title
I really hope they get a chance. Even for all of the problems with the game it was a joy to play.

40 bucks.

Didn't they say it will be a free upgrade, at least the T8NK bot?
I doubt it would've needed to sell 1 million copies. Assume it's the same budget as a slightly bigger indie game. Those def don't need to sell 1 million to be considered a success. I'm thinking more along the lines of a few hundred thousand at most

If that's the case, I feel it probably hit targets based on worldwide sales. I suspect it cleared 500,000. I would be curious to see some sales figures.

Movies do the same stuff, definitely not exclusive to video games. Lord of the Rings released the standard editions on bluray and held off for quite a while before the extended editions came out, 3D Star Wars TFA took months to release after the standard bluray.
And now they do fun things where the digital version of some movies get exclusive features like commentaries or behind-the-scenes footage that are included or not depending on what service you bought it from.
And Disney does like 3 versions of all their movies. Platinum Edition, 50th Anniversary edition, Gold Edition, etc. and the make them available for limited times so they can get hard to find after a while.
In Recore's case, it's not really any different than the usual "GOTY" or "Complete" editions that come out for most games.

The waypoint system needs fixing, I hope they fix that, I look at what Hello Games is doing with No Man Sky updates & improvements and hoping for something similar here.
I missed that! I'd be super happy if that's the case.

Selling a improved version is probably is probably one of the least scummiest things a entertainment industry could do.

I assume they're not going to physically rerelease this with how many copies are out there already?
I definitely don't think it hit 500k. Also how many copies were actually sold at full-price as opposed to sub-$20?
I remember it doing like sub-100k in the NPD debut.

I could be wrong, and enough time has passed without a single word that I probably am wrong lol.

Hdr as dlc?
500,000 is way too high if you ask me
maybe like 300,000 if it's lucky
but I do think it hit closer to the targets than any of their other new IP barring Ori, and the game seems to have potential so I think a sequel is on the cards at some point

Well, obviously MS is paying them to continue support in some form.
What the game really needs though is some sort of collectibles map built into the game so that I do not have to wander aimlessly for hundreds of collectibles. It's literally idiotic design in this day and age. I never finished the game after the soft ending simply because I would have had to waste hours upon hours wandering around searching for collectibles.

I hope you're right about the sequel. I want to see more single-player focused stuff out of Microsoft.
Here is their potential list of upcoming sequels:
- Halo 6
- Gears 5
- Forza Horizon & Motorsport
- Ori 2
- State of Decay 2
- Recore 2
That's not too bad. The two that sting and I feel are really missing: Sunset Overdrive 2 and a new Fable game. If those 2 things were on the cards, I feel people would be looking much more favorably at their lineup.

Note that at least some of the collectibles are in fact marked on the in-game map.
It has been a while since I finished the game so I'm not sure what proportion is marked and what proportion is unmarked, but the videos below should give an idea:

Sunset Overdrive 2 with 4p co-op, mmmmmmmm
Chaos Mode was cool, but it would've been so much better if played with friends in the entire city.
I never felt so sad to see "By the team that bought you Metroid Prime".

How did they fucked up the game to this p... oh... I see.
It's better than nothing, I guess.

Yeah, nog going to get UWP version either. It's not like there is no precedent of MS releasing games on Steam either (Ori, Halo Wars, couple others).
Absolutely. They have a solid line-up, it's just very unbalanced. A few single player AAA games would do much, though Crackdown style co-op would fit a Sunset Overdrive sequel perfectly.
I'm hoping them making a definitive version of Recore is a sign they haven't moved on from the franchise and are considering doing another one.

The more time passes, the more I realise that I can't wait for another playthrough of ReCore.
Really looking forward to this definitive edition finally releasing. Not long to wait now, hopefully.

I guess with some of the comment here I see why mid tier games have kinds gone away. So much negativity for this game and it wasn't full price.
For me it was great for what it was and I hope the addittions make it better.
I guess I am with game like I am with movies where I'll see anything and have fun where as some people will only pay to see blockbusters.

I never got that far in it due to loading time issues, missing content, etc. I'm hoping this is a free update, I would love to jump back in to the "improved" product
I'm actually doing this with a few games...Halo 5, Gears 4, Recore, Witcher 3...all waiting to start/finish based on Xbox One X enhancements
Same. Sooo disappointed in Recore because the potential was there.

Definitely see what you're saying and I loved Recore too, however the game did have some genuine issues regardless of price point. It's fine to present a game that's at a lower price and in turn present something more modest; smaller in scope, not the bleeding edge visuals and so on. I don't think that's the same as actually putting the game out with areas that are incomplete though, I do think there's a very big distinction there. Definitely looking forward to a revised edition though and another play.
