It looks very pretty. Although, I'm not seeing where it looks so much better than many of the other platformers out already. Rayman looks great, sort of similar art style. DK:TF looks great. Trine even looks great. I think it will fit in well with all of these. Doesn't look better, but doesn't look worse imo. Gameplay is where these games need to shine and it doesn't look too bad from the small bits they showed.

Well, I believe that while it may not look as eye popping in terms of detail against Donkey Kong, lack the shading style of Rayman, or contain vivid lighting effects like Trine, Ori and The Blind Forest reminds me so much of EarthBound in terms of vibrancy and simplicity. I cannot wait for it, and my body is ready.

Like I said, it looks good. Although, I did notice some nice lighting around the crystals in the video, seemed reminiscent of Trine to me actually. I'm not getting the Earthbound reference tbh, but I'm glad you are looking forward to it. Depending how good it ends up being might be a bit of a selling factor for me with the X1.

Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
