Hogwarts Legacy - Not as good as Dog Kid University

[Uzi]

Disagree with Mallet, its massively hard to boycott a game from the markers of Cars 3, Cars 2 and Hannah Montana Spotlight World Tour! 

 

BIG SACRAFICE, BIG!!!

I get that it's an open world RPG and that will have appeal here but the fact it's based on children's books and there's so many more games than there are hours in the day I'm just surprised many Rllmuk people care.

 

Of course it's based around Hogwarts rather than the books but its set in the "wizarding world" Which has a fairly deep fantasy lore.

Divinity original sin 2 probably the last great one but it's hardly an ignored genre.

 

Loved that! As mush as I loved it, it doesn't scratch the itch this game has the scope to do....well, until starfield! lol 

[DennyDifferent]

Disney Infinity was pretty good, wasn't it?

[PaB]

There was that other RPG game that has wizards and dragon and all that fantasy stuff. No idea if it’s any good .

 

I think it’s called Olde necklace or something like that.

PS5 footage and impressions:

 

 

Looks great, even if you're not into the franchise the world building, graphics, physics, destructible stuff and overall gameplay looks polished and quality. Definitely a buy for me.

[macosx]

Looks amazing the amount of detail that’s been put in. I suppose it made it easier as a lot of the design had already been done and approved by she who cannot be named.

[Majora]

I'm not a fan of the franchise and don't intend to buy the game but I thought it looked pretty good right up until you take out a bandit camp using stealth or gun...I mean spells and then it just looks really derivative, lightweight and ropey.

[DennyDifferent]

Shadow lodding on the castle at 50s is a bit dodgy...

I'm not interested in the game or Harry Potter even without JKs politics, but you could replace Harry Potter with Star Wars, Spider-Man/Other Marvel, Batman etc and make such a statement. If someone feels an attachment to a massive franchise then they're going to be interested. I'm not a fan of the current style of Sony action games but am nearing the end of Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order purely because it's a Star Wars game.

I think that looks great. Get rid of all the combat against people (little duels against students are fine) and let me just go to lessons and explore the secrets of the castle and surrounding areas.

 

But anyway, still on the no list for obvious reasons.

[Majora]

I mean, they even have you chucking explosive red barrels at enemies in a bandit camp. Come on, there must be more imaginative ways you could approach combat in a Harry Potter game than that, surely?

The fact they let students use the UNFORGIVEABLE CURSES in that video. 

I agree.

Need a Hogwarts GTA where you get Aurora chasing you for using Avadakadavra(?) and stealing brooms

Maybe its just me but graphically doesn't look particularly impressive texture detail wise for a PS5 version and the pop in visible in the first min or so is pretty bad.

 

The interiors look better in scale but again the textures wtf lol (this is not zoomed in)

 

 

 

I think people have some HP blinders on!!!

[Strafe]

I think it looks pretty good. The combat doesn’t look amazing - I’d rather hack stuff than shoot it - but the world looks very well realised. Looking forward to bunking off lessons to go and get pissed in hogswill or whatever it’s called.

How shitty the arch looks both shape and texture wise?

My man

[Floyd]

It does look good. I'm not too concerned but like any game that's not made by rockstar, for me, I'll wait for an overall review consensus

The shape looks fine to me. Isn’t that how arch doorway bricks look?

I mean the shape of the bump mapping on the inner arch rather than the shape of the arch itself

[Strafe]

Ah yeah, I can see a couple of wonky lines there. Preorder cancelled!

 

(I haven’t actually preordered it)

[Strafe]

Just think, if Rowling hadn’t gone off at the deep end then this thread suffix could have been ‘Preorder of the Phoenix’. 

[Ry]

Still looks brown, bland and shit.

Are there toilets? I need to know if it sticks to the canon
