As E3 wound down I decided to take one final walk of the small show floor in search of some me time games. I bolted over to the EA booth to check out Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince on the Wii.
I was most interested to check out what new features were in the game and if the game play had been improved. I'm happy to report that the latest Harry Potter game on the Wii is going to be the best Potter game to date.
The perks of having an eight-movie franchise based on the Harry Potter books with a tie-in game for each movie is that you can tell a lot about the state of gaming at the time.
Hoping for a new Harry Potter game soon that's actually good. Hasn't been one in awhile. Really enjoyed the 2 Lego Harry Potter games though.
It doesn't even need to be Harry Potter. Just make a massive game about Hogwarts and you play as kid that has to work his or her way up through the years. If done right, it can be a really great game.
Harry Potter coop diablo style game please, or mmo please, anything but a phone game please
A former lead designer at EA Bright Light has revealed that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was supposed to compete with Gears of War as "it was quickly established that this was the visual quality we had to beat".
It's safe to say that Harry didn't enjoy the same success on the video game scene as Marcus Fenix, but we'll give him good marks for trying.
It's common knowledge that movie tie-ins come under much more scrutiny and criticism than any other type of game. Most would argue (perhaps justifiably) that this is thoroughly deserved, and that they can never replace such blockbuster titles as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and God of War III. On this front PS3 Attitude would have to agree, but why exactly is this the case?
