Support NeoGAF

You could apply that same logic to Quantum Break and ReCore, too, the latter of which still isn't on Steam.

As you said quantum break was released on steam, why Recore wasn't? Critical acclaim maybe had a part in it since the game was not was as well received as Ori, i think i will end my part of the conversation here, last thing i want is tnis to be twisted by some fanboy in to a port begging post, i will be over the moon if the game gets announced, that's the first step, aftet that i will play it where i can, that simple.

 

[jett]

Will this be a Windows Store exclusive?

Anyway, it's awesome it's a real thing. I really liked Ori. Hopefully they delve more into the exploration aspects.

Well, there is a Definitive Edition of ReCore on the way, so it may release on Steam then (see: Halo Wars), but that's neither here nor there. Evidently, Microsoft is still very much in the groove of only releasing its WinStore games on Steam if it feels there's no longer any value in exclusivity.

Dropped first game since I stuck at a segment on lava mountain (the one with the lever and two platforms).

Might jump to the sequel

That's like, the end of the game. Another 10 or 20 minutes and you would have finished it.

I remember the guy from the studio that posts on GAF was kind of angry with Nintendo because they couldn't get dev kits

So he made ori 2 cause he was angry?

 

[op_ivy]

Wow, I didn't expect this so soon. The first was something special. Shame it leaked but can't wait to see it in motion.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

If true, Microsoft just won E3. The first game is absolutely incredible.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

How did you get to that conclusion from my post?

 

[lt519]

Hope the requirements aren't too rough for PC. I'll do whatever it takes to play this game though, even if it means buying a Scorpio.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Remember this is an MS IP. Ori ATBF was released just before the play anwhere thing. That means this game may just be on a Windows 10 exclusive on PC.

UWP = no buy

 

[xviper]

i hope this time this masterpiece gets the recognition it deserves, so many underappreciated xbox exclusives, if they were on other consoles they would have been praised to infinity

hopefully it releases this year

 

[leeh]

UWP = no buy

Your loss.

 

[blakep267]

It'll probably come to steam eventually but launch will likely be Xbox/W10. Then 3+ months later on Steam

None of their games have launched consecutively on steam/W10

 

[Poppincaps]

The more I hear about Microsofts press conference the more I feel like they may actually knock it out of the park.

 

[Yearsoflurking]

UWP = no buy

that sucks, but they'll get my buy at least

But it did. On Xbox and PC.

Game sold almost a million on steam and was even bundled with the x1 for a bit.

I think it did well for a small game like this.

Either way I'm excited for the sequel

This seems like the most likely scenario. Microsoft understands when steam is pretty crucial for success. Halo Wars making over there cements that for me

I remember like two days after release the dev said here on gaf they made their money back in a day haha.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

First is one of the best games ever made imo so very hyped for this.

 

[Shredderi]

Very hyped if true but if it's W10 only on PC then the game doesn't even exist to me :/

 

[JaseC]

I imagine you'll be fine if you can run Blind Forest well enough.

 

[Sini]

Yup

 

[FaintColt388301]

Yessss. Amazing game. Insta buy for me.

I'm excited for this Xbox conference. Lez do it

 

[gamz]

The more I hear about Microsofts press conference the more I feel like they may actually knock it out of the park.

That pod cast with Major Nelson was hype. Phil saying that it's going to be about the games...

 

[RdN]

Insta purchase!

The first one was incredible, can't wait to see what they have in store!

 

[Novocaine]

Thomas hinted we would be seeing something from them earlier this year in a thread somewhere. Still I can't wait to play. Ori is the best new IP this gen by a country mile.

 

[Burbeting]

I really really liked first Ori. Hopefully this one will get a steam release, otherwise I won't bite .

 

[Ponchito]

Day 1. Still listen to the OST regularly.

Me too. One of the best ost ever done.

[purseowner]

Native 4K on Scorpio for this would be mouthwatering.

 

[Father_Brain]

Good, now put the Steam version of the original on sale for really cheap.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Oh god, that 2nd pic, already in the feels.

 

[What The Forest Taught Me]

Absolutely beautiful. I've said it before, but a Moon Studios x Nintendo collab for the next 2D Metroid needs to happen. Moon Studios outclasses Nintendo in the 2D sidescroller department by light years.

Thomas Mahler, please try to make a collab happen!

 

[Arkeband]

Isn't the proper phrase "will o' the wisp"?

Happy hall of the ween y'all.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Sweeeeeet. I LOVE the first game.

Hopefully a physical version is available at launch.

 

[Justinh]

The first game was so damn beautiful (a much deserved win for best art direction). I guess I'm not surprised the next game will be too judging from the screens.

I had never heard of this follow up, so this is pretty exciting for me. I still need to get a physical copy of the game (eh, might as well order one today...)

 

[Zackat]

beautiful art

 

[scitek]

Never expected a Sonic Colors crossover.

 

[Fardeen]

i will be so so pissed if its not on steam. i bought the game twice to support the devs. i will be so mad if its UWP

 

[JaseC]

Good, now put the Steam version of the original on sale for really cheap.

The Summer Sale kicks off in a week-and-a-half (the 22nd).

 

[transience]

Here's hoping (probably naively) for a Steam release. I'm fine with it being in the Windows Store if the game runs smoothly.

 

[ForkNetwork]

This could be Game of the Gen if the story is handled better

 

[Takeru]

Ori and the Blind Forest was hype so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Jeff6851]

The Summer Sale kicks off in a week-and-a-half (the 22nd).

And going by the current Windows Store price, it'll be $10

 

[karma2578]

it'll be on steam...eventually

 

[ThirstiestGamer 2.0]

Isn't this old news?

This. last year.

 

[Theorry]

This. last year.

No. The name was trademarked a year ago. The screens are new.
