Ori and the Blind Forest

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Moon Studios, the developers of Ori and the Blind Forest, is a worldwide game development team without a headquarters location?
• ALT1: ... that Ori and the Blind Forest was conceived as a "love-letter" to other platform games like those in the Metroid and Rayman franchises?

• New (23rd), long enough, neutral, no copyvio found via spot check, QPQ done. However, both hooks aren't very interesting. Perhaps you can use some of the commentary by critics who thought the game was one of the best at E3? czar ♔ 01:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Here's another couple of alternates, each sourced in the article:

• ALT2: ... that Microsoft considered opening its E3 2014 press conference with the independently-produced Ori and the Blind Forest, but instead chose Activision's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?
• ALT3: ... that some employees of Moon Studios, developers of Ori and the Blind Forest, had never met face-to-face until the game was unveiled during the 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo? --McDoobAU93 15:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Either ALT okay, though I prefer ALT3. No copyvio by spot check and dup detector. Hooks check out. gtg czar ♔ 18:39, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm cool with the last ALT (regarding the developers not meeting face-to-face until E3). Thanks for all your guidance! --McDoobAU93 19:07, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
