shadow drop!
and that physical box!
holy shit....

 

[Big G]

That looked rough, I wonder what the framerate is. The game is much more demanding than the first.

Yeah, the performance was very rough at launch even on the Xbox One X. I hope they've gotten it improved since then.

 

[mtel]

Wow! Biggest shadow drop they have done in one of these!

 

[Deleted member 864]

This is the second game, right?

Click to shrink...

Yes.

 

[bytesized]

I thought this would not be able to run on switch. I thought they would announce it as a streamable game or something like that.

 

[¡ B 0 0 P !]

Yeah. Halo's crossing over with Smash. I'm sure of it now. Nintendo and Microsoft our way too chummy right now to not do it.

 

[Deleted member 21326]

Rip my wallet another deluxe edition :D

[indosmoke]

Really happy for Switch owners, it's such a beautiful game and an amazing sequel (that I started only quite recently; I'm now torn between finishing it or waiting for the 120fps version in a couple of months).

 

[Crayolan]

BOTH games physical? I'm in. I just hope I can get them without having to buy the collector's edition.

Edit: You better be able to buy the physical versions separately cause no way I can justify spending $150 on these games.

 

[peekaboo]

$150 for the collectors edition. Can't they just release a regular physical version of the games instead? I'm not paying $150.

Click to shrink...

Same. Shameless money grab.

[DaveB]

GIMME!

I already bought the special edition on the XB1, but I am absolutely double dipping on this incredible game!

 

[Estro]

Going to wait and see if the port is good, but if it is, I'm so glad to be able to play it on Switch, I loved playing the first one on it earlier this year.

 

[FGLS1992]

Huge props to MS for being so quick about this game being on another console. Big thumbs up.

 

[Minky]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK I CAN'T BELIEVE ITTTTT

 

[Levitates]

Wrong thread.

 

[Liliana]

Yeah. Halo's crossing over with Smash. I'm sure of it now. Nintendo and Microsoft our way too chummy right now to not do it.

Smash Ultimate on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Thank me later.

 

[DidactBRHU3]

GOTY 2020.

 

[Liquid Plejades]

curious how this performs

 

[raketenrolf]

Will there be a standard physical edition? Because I don't want to spend 150+€ for a limited edition with stuff that I don't need.

 

[reKon]

I will buy then

 

[ManNR]

I never expected this to come so soon. Ori is one of the best recent IPs I've played.

 

[Jannyish]

Nintendo and Microsoft be like

 

[Vic_Viper]

Guess im getting the first Ori today on Switch. Need to play through it before getting the sequel.

Guessing itll be $50 or $60

 

[Nabbit]

This is one of my favorite games of all time. You all are in for an incredible experience.

 

[ajszenk]

Hope it runs better than on my One S. Game was framey as hell and had a bug happen about 40% through that totaled my save. Couldn't bring myself to restart.

Definitely recommend playing the first one first, yeah.

 

[SanTheSly]

Would seriously suggest waiting for performance information on this one, given the game already struggled on Xbox One platforms. I know it's likely to have been scaled back accordingly for Switch, and if you want to go ahead and buy it immediately, absolutely go ahead.

Just MIGHT be worth giving it like, a day for this one though.

Happy that this was finally confirmed for everyone that was waiting for it though.

 

[thomasmahler]

Our tech team has been optimizing the hell out of it for almost half a year - and yes, it's 60fps and it's glorious! :)

 

[Azubah]

Do not buy the physical version if you expect to get it any time this year. iam8bit is notorious for delaying releases.

 

[Servbot24]

Wow! Didn't expect this so soon.

 

[Nocturnowl]

If this runs better than the game on the base XBOX one, that'll be something (unless the frame rate got conked for it to happen edit: this aged immediately, praise be to moon)

This still stands as being somehow my game of the year thus far combined with arguable disappointment of the year due to the performance issues I had, the idea of a switch version has me cautious

 

[pswii60]

Incredible game, truly incredible.

But it deserves 4k and HDR. Play it like that if you can, honestly. If not, go for it on Switch. Enjoy the epic adventure.

 

[Biggzy]

It is still a bit weird to see Microsoft producing a game for what technically is, a competitor's platform lol. I hope the Switch users enjoy it as it is a special game.

 

[Dr. Ludwig]

A masterpiece. Anyone with a Switch should grab it.

 

[HeyNay]

Wow, and I JUST finished Blind Forest on the Switch yesterday. I was looking forward to playing this eventually, but I had no idea it'd be coming out this soon! IIRC, the first Ori was almost a 1 to 1 port and performed beautifully, but the sequel was more graphically demanding, and had some difficulty running on Xbox hardware at launch. I'm curious as to how this port stacks up, performance wise, but I'm excited nonetheless.

Yes.

Sweet! Wasn't expecting to release so soon after the 1st one on Switch.

Great game. More people will have the chance to play now.

This is insane. I was wondering if I was going to wait for the Series X enhancements to play... but 60fps is awesome.

I was not expecting a shadowdrop. Sick!

 

[Deleted member 51789]

This is great news, so glad they managed to get this working on Switch at 60fps!
