Hogwarts Legacy New Images and Cinematic Video Surfaces

Appearing during the Autodesk Vision Series event, Hogwarts Legacy has received a new cinematic video, as well as some new screens.

Really hope it delivers and isn't bogged down by any JK Rowling controversy.

Lore648d ago

How would Rowling controversy bog the actual game down?

Tacoboto648d ago

There can be news articles on game sites, and whiny forum posts, but that won't impact sales at the end of the day, I don't feel.

If anything, the declining quality of the Fantastic Beasts movies are a bigger harm to the brand.

Lore

Any number of concessions to distance itself from her, maybe one that causes her to intervene and brings the game down.

MrBaskerville648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

Luckily she didn't write for it. Seeing how poorly she handled Fantastic Beasts, imagine her writing a video game.

@Tacoboto
She singlehandledy wrote the second one of those! She envisioned Nagini being Voldemorts mother.

EvertonFC648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

Most Harry potter fans/gamers who don't visit gaming sites won't even know about the controversy or give a fu*k.
Edit: just like we don't give a fu*K about the awful manufacturing practices like work conditions, pay, work hours in China making our games consoles.

anast648d ago

I'm not worried about any of that. It's trite.

Tbh it looks pretty good!!!!!!!

RaiderNation648d ago

My only concern with this game is the combat and how stale it will be come if all it involves is "foolish wand-waving and silly incantations."

Adrian_v01648d ago

They already showed that and how it will involve more than that.

VenomCarnage89648d ago

The majority of sword combat on games is merely pressing the button square over and over. At the very very worst it'll be the same here physically, just instead of seeing a sword swing we see a wand wave. Honestly what's even the difference

mkis007648d ago

100%
People dont realize how simple games make actions.

anast648d ago

You must hate mage builds.

Inverno648d ago

I hate that this is 70 dollars, I'm tempted to get it day one now that I got the Deck. I at least hope this turns out to be good so that they continue with some other games, I'd love to see another Quidditch game.

WeAreLegion648d ago

I'm getting old. I just wait now. Anything not made by Nintendo will have a decent sale within a few months of release.

Inverno648d ago

Pretty much, luckily I've grown more patient as I gotten older.

Was Hogwarts Legacy Only Successful Because Of Nostalgia?

Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."

Markdn12d ago

I totally agree, and no replay value for sure but enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Not a Harry Potter fan but still really enjoyed

Lexreborn212d ago

I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.

Lexreborn212d ago

lol are people upset because I said I put 20 hours into the game and that because I haven’t finished I won’t criticize it’s value or if nostalgia generates it’s success? That’s funny

CrimsonWing6912d ago

Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.

Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.

Crows9012d ago

They're trying to find a fake reason for its success...the mainstream hate how successful it became because of the writer behind the series.

So now they want to say that people bought it not because they liked it but only because of nostalgia....as if harry potter is really that old or even a classic IP in the game industry.

thorstein12d ago

That doesn't even make any sense. The author made those statements before the game released. People knew ahead of time and wanted a boycott.

But most people knew any boycott would only punish the people who worked on the game and put their hearts into it (like most boycotts).

So many people bought it, enjoyed it immensely, and moved on.

VenomUK12d ago

@CrimsonWing69 A greatly in demand IP only takes you so far, if it was crap quality then the reviews and word of mouth would have stalled its sales. But it is a good game (judged by Metacritic and user reviews) and that has given the game legs.

Tzuno12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it

Markdn12d ago

In what way was it mediocre, can't really find anything about it that was mediocre and I'm not a hp fan

Demetrius12d ago

It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs
