outstanding trailer.

 

[Shil Pencer]

This was the best thing shown

 

[fargofallout]

Hahahaha, can't wait to tell you guys more about Will of the Wisps! We've been working our butts off and it's already something really special Can't wait to show more - we'll talk a little about it on the Xbox Daily Show!

Looks really great. Hopefully you can knock it out of the park like you did with the first one.

[Jobbs]

Beyond stunning. Congratulations to the team who clearly put an immense amount of work into this.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Is this still on Unity? Mindblown if true. The detail and depth of scenes blow the original game out of the water, which was already insane for a 2D game. Ori is the best thing Microsoft brought to the industry this gen for sure.

Does the Windows 10 exclusive mean it won't come to Steam but only Windows Store? Hopefully the PC release doesn't get a major delay again like the first Ori :'(

The original releases simultaneously on PC, just the definitive edition got a month delay.

Can't wait to hear more! Easily my most anticipated game now.

Around what time is this daily show?

Looks fantastic. Love the visuals of these games so much.

 

[Fredrik]

Amaaazing visuals, wow! Game of the show for me. Even that short trailer almost got me teary eyed. So beatiful, both visually and musically. Can't wait to see how it plays!

 

[FlaygletheBagel]

This trailer was one of the only compelling things they showed at this conference. Looking forward to getting it on PC.

 

[Colbert]

The moment the Ori theme started to play I had tears in my eyes. So much memories from the first game.

 

[Granjinha]

Looked incredible.

Previously it meant win10 store only. I really hope that's not the case here.
That would be quite the sellout on moon's part.

Cmon Thomas! Say it ain't so! :-(

"Sellout"

It's Microsoft's IP.

 

[NullPointer]

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

 

[wild wild rice]

God damn, that's gorgeous.

 

[Navy Bean]

This was the best thing shown

Agreed.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Wow, beautiful.

 

[Fardeen]

Please tell me it's on steam. Day 1 purchase

 

[Gin-Shiio]

The moment the Ori theme started to play I had tears in my eyes. So much memories from the first game.

No kidding.

 

[Syril]

If it's the only option, I'll brave the Windows 10 section of my computer for this.

Was such a beautiful touch to have him up there playing. Ugh, can't wait for this game.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

This needs to be on Steam... I refuse to use the windows store until it works.

 

[DangerMouse]

Great trailer. Looked gorgeous.

Please be on Steam.

.

 

[abacab driver]

Absolute artistic success.
Microsoft needs to acquire these guys.

 

[Rush_Khan]

We 2.5D now? Or are the graphics just that good?

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Unsurprisingly they delivered once again a phenomenal trailer. Choked up a bit when Ori hugged the Owl character.

We 2.5D now? Or are the graphics just that good?

The Blind Forest was also a mixture of 2D and 3D animation.

He really is the best composer in the gaming industry right now.

 

[Rush_Khan]

The Blind Forest was also a mixture of 2D and 3D animation.

I can't believe I never realised this. Probably why the graphics were so good.

Ah, now I've Ori music stuck in my head.

 

[Jobbs]

We 2.5D now? Or are the graphics just that good?

Thomas or other devs could correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding as a lesser dev is that the first game was made in Unity, and essentially was a bunch of 2D assets arranged in a 3D space.

I would imagine it's still going to be a similar technique -- that would be my guess -- but, again, I have no actual first hand knowledge. Just making a semi educated guess.

 

[DemWalls]

Hmmm....not really sure what to think.
I don't think the new style looks that good?

Edit: I mean, it still looks good just not as good as the first game

I think the little we've seen definitely looks better than the first game, of which I barely remember anything. It didn't really impress me, for some reason.

 

[Smokey]

Looked really good.

 

[Wuiji]

Legit started crying (which surprised me) as soon as I saw Gareth Coker on piano and saw the undeniably-Ori graphics. Ori and the Blind Forest touched me in a way very few games have. The rest of E3 can suck and I'll be happy.

Yeah, Ori and the Blind Forest hit with 'all the feels' from the very start. Felt overwhelmed by emotions watching the launch trailer all those years ago, always well up at the start, the middle and the end of the game no matter how many times I play it. It's really a masterpiece in storytelling to make you feel so much for the characters where dialogue isn't a factor at all. Even the end of this launch trailer had me welling up a little bit.

The combination of the music, the art style, and the character design is just absolutely fantastic. Ori and the Blind Forest has easily been one of my favourite games of the generation so far, so I'm really excited about getting more of it.

[pargonta]

This looks greaaaat. may buy a one X down the line to play this at highest fidelity.

 

[thomasmahler]

Xbox One X improvements? I didn't see it in the conference.

I'd count on it. It's a little Box of awesome

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

I can't stop watching this trailer. Steam windows store whatever idc just give it to me.

 

[rokkerkory]

Damnit was hoping for sale on Ori DE

 

[KraftyKrankins]

I just reinstalled The Blind Forest because of this. Hope my old save's still there.

 

[Space_nut]

Dis game

 

[dancrane212]

Second I saw the turntable move around with Gather Cooker on it I knew it was Ori. Incredible trailer to watch live.

 

[Amibguous Cad]

Give me more escape sequences or NO SALE

(just kidding but please do keep the escape sequences in)

 

[gabbo]

Having never played Blind Forest, I have no idea what any of that meant, but it certainly looked fantastic

 

[truestatic]

Give me more escape sequences or NO SALE

(just kidding but please do keep the escape sequences in)

Ori and the Blind Forest was good.

The water escape was out fucking standing.

 

[The Inventor]

Not even one bit of doubt un my mind, I will help Ori once again. Somehow.

The single best platforming level ever made
