Any info yet if this will be paid DLC or an update if you have the game already?Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 12:34 PM
Well fuck I bought this either earlier this month or late last month cause it was on sale, now it's getting a definitive edition :-( well shitfire.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 12:42 PM
Awesome, really glad to see this the day after I buy it in the sale!! :(Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 01:00 PM
Was planning on buying this in the sale... but now I'm thinking I should wait for the definitive edition. Very strange timing to make this announcement!Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 01:03 PM
I don't think it matters that you guys have purchased now. They still haven't confirmed if it will be paid or not, but it will be an update to the existing game, so you're not buying twice. This was also announced originally back in August so it's been known for a while there would be an updated version.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 01:51 PM
I'd still love to know whether this gem will make it also to the 360. Any info on that? Because in May (or March, idk) 2015 they said that it will be provided also for X360...Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 02:15 PM
Wasn't it also supposed to be coming to Windows 10 as well? I remember seeing several titles listed, but I haven't really seen any other announcements other than the initial reveal.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 02:27 PM
@#6 Where did you hear that? I have been following this news (as a matter of fact I asked about it yesterday when I saw original game go on sale) and never heard this is free upgrade. Seems to me like you would need to pay twice for better version, which makes sense to me. Have a whole week to make up my mind, but unless they confirm if you buy it on sale you can upgrade to final version later for free, I will hold off altogether...Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 02:32 PM
Honestly, to anyone waiting to play this, don't! Just buy it. Trust me, I am frugal as can be with waiting for discounts but the current price is plenty good for this gem of a game. I am curious to see what they add to the game as I really had no complaints throughout the whole experience.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 02:56 PM
@6 & 9 - According to Moon Studios, previous owners will be able to upgrade to the DE for a "comfortable price". What that means is pure speculation. Five dollars? Ten? Personally, I would hope for the $5 mark and gauge whether or not I'll upgrade based on the content offered. Being able to backtrack to the "boss" dungeons is a definite must to clean up any missed collectibles.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 03:09 PM
Physical I hope. Such a beautiful game deserves a beautiful cover artWednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 03:19 PM
I can't wait to play this game! I preemptively purchased this in the sale recently to play on my Xbox One I will be getting at Xmas. I have from many recommendations been told to absolutely buy and play this so it will be the first thing I start up after the inevitable console updates!Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 03:42 PM
As this is a update for game, I'll just wait to play it.Paid or not, I'm getting the update day one.Sadly, I'll have to keep Ori backlogged until then :(. It's still $20 well spent though.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 04:10 PM
@9: I never said it would be a free upgrade, my post specifically stated I didn't know if it would be PDLC or not - the only thing I knew for sure is that it would be an update to the existing game and current owners would not need to buy the full priced DE. But #11 is correct, I found the quote where they mention it will be an upgrade for a comfortable price. https://www.facebook.com/oriblindforest/posts/1639912032959434Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 04:13 PM
This is news?Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 04:18 PM
@17 News is new information you didnt originally know, hence the name 'news', so yes, this is news.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 04:37 PM
Just bought it and I knew the definitive version was in the works. I didn't care. It's a blast so far. Worth the 10$ and whatever the upgrade price will be later on.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 05:07 PM
I really hope the upgrade lets you go back and get those last collectibles. As of now, after finishing the game, I can't even select the original save file, because it's locked. At least a New Game +.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 05:49 PM
@#11 & 16 Thanks for that. I might just pick it up then and decide later if I want to upgrade or not, depending on what extras come with that edition... This+Toy Soldiers and I should be set this week, outside of older exclusives I am still waiting to go on sale;-)Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 07:15 PM
Just picked up the regular version for $10. Its a steal at this price :)Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 08:50 PM
how do they remaster or make a definitive edition of a game thats under 1 year old? cash grab for sure.Wednesday, December 23, 2015 @ 09:22 PM
No benefit in waiting. They said the upgrde fee will be a comfortable price which means $5 or $10. If its $10 and you buy now om sale then u spend $20 like the original cost. The DE will most likely be $20 if not a little more so buying now basically guarantees you spending the same price of $20 or if the upgrade is $5 then u get everything for $15. Dont waitThursday, December 24, 2015 @ 02:37 AM
Heard nothing but good news about this game from critics, and newcomers alike. Will definitely be picking this up!Thursday, December 24, 2015 @ 01:36 PM
@8 Isn't the game on steam? So I'm pretty sure it runs on Win10, or do you mean they put it in the Windows app store?Friday, December 25, 2015 @ 10:57 AM
Amazing game. Even in the original version. Pretty difficult but totally a must-have.Friday, December 25, 2015 @ 09:33 PM
I must be missing something. What makes it the definitive edition? The game was released on Xbox One and didn't have any DLC as I can recall. I understand re-releasing a game if it is Remastered for a new console or is bundled with all the DLC but this just seems like they are going to try and charge for what seems to just be a title update. OT: I did love this game and will be keeping an eye on the news about it.
