Looks nice. Reminds me of Child of Light, in a way. Without the RPG elements.
so when can we expect the idx games to go full blast on xbox one? im excited to play these new games.This one is my sleeper favorite.
The art is so beautiful. It's just such a gorgeous game (artistically).
I love the art style, it was one of the few that got my attention. The rest was just so... grey.
Sunset Overdrive, DR3 : DLC (that one was hilarious I have to admit), Scalebound, The Witcher and this one... seemed to be the only ones who found out that we moved past monochrome displays and have colour these days.
Crackdown has always been a very colorful and unique game.To be fair Crackdown and Dragon Age had a lot of color.

We are currently at E3 at Microsoft’s booth to present a Playable Demo of Ori and the Blind Forest.
We’ll be giving interviews and we can’t wait to hear what the response will be!
Please feel free to leave us some feedback at: feedback@moongamestudios.com. We’d love to hear your thoughts!
This is just a first sneak peak at Ori - We’ll post updates and more information about it in the upcoming weeks.
Stay tuned!
Over the past four years, Moon Studios has been feverishly working on Ori and the Blind Forest.
At Moon Studios, we all grew up playing games like Super Metroid, Zelda: A Link to the Past, etc. and with Ori, we wanted to recapture the magic of these games.
Ori and the Blind Forest is a bit of a genremix – It’s a ‘Metroidvania‘, but with a stronger platforming focus and light RPG elements, all set within an atmospheric world.
Naturally we tried to push 2D gaming forward on all fronts: We tried to make every single screen in Ori look like a painting come to life while making sure that the controls are still pixel-perfect.
We’ve been taking lessons from games like Super Metroid and A Link to the Past in order to really bring back this sensation you had when you played the games Nintendo was building in the early 90s. The level of polish and the execution of design in these games – we feel – was extraordinary. We felt strongly that children and adults today should get that same feeling again. Remember the first time you played Zelda or Metroid when you were a child? We hope that years from now people will also remember the first time they got to play Ori and the Blind Forest.
We also push the story angle really hard. We explored some new ways of telling stories within 2D games and we’ve been heavily influenced by Ghibli/Miyazaki as well as by great animated films of the 90s like The Lion King or The Iron Giant.
Ori is a bit of a coming-of-age story. The player is put into the role of a forest spirit, who – over the course of his journey – has to find out more about his role within the world he’s living in. We tried to create memorable characters in an atmospheric world and to craft a story that players will truly care about!
Crackdown, maybe. But the Dragon age trailer they showed looked bland and boring. Far to much action and not enough RPG. I mean, sure a Qunari.. but they now look like humans with Horns. The closest to something that isn't human looking is the "dwarf" and they usually are just shorter humans and weren't even in this trailer. Compared to the Witcher, Dragon Age looked dull and uninspiring, which is sad as I really enjoyed the very first one and hope they can rekindle that feel with this one.To be fair Crackdown and Dragon Age had a lot of color.
