Did anyone watch it? What did you think?



(minor presentation spoilers follow, of course, but I'll hide the big reveal still)

I'm really looking forward to finally getting around to playing Ori and the Blind Forest, it's really cool to see Nintendo and Microsoft continue to work together on stuff like this

The Touryst, Earthnight, and Eastward really caught my attention too. I was a little thrown off by Shin'en seemingly doing a simple block-graphics game, and then they showed off the graphical effects they've put in it and suddenly I'm like nope that's definitely a Shin'en game. It looks so good.
 
Unfortunately for me, the surprise factor for the one game on the presentation I'm most interested in was wasted by Internet rumors beforehand. But at least the trailer they showed for it was new!
I originally played Ori on PC, on a laptop below minimum listed system specs ... the action was mildly slowed by the slow framerate and cutscenes did have some audiovisual desync, but the visuals were still just as beautiful, and the controls just as snappy in spite of it (i.e. I somehow never missed a jump or a midair Bash on account of the slow framerate). It will be fun to go back and finally play the game at its correct speed.
