this looked suprisingly nice

 

[Trogdor1123]

Is it like an MMO?

Looks pretty great

 

[J-Roderton]

Totally down for this.

 

[Arkam]

Ye, but why would they add that to the trailer? It's supposed to look impeccable. It's just bizzare. Same thing happened with resident evil. It's like they don't care.

Most didn't notice. And RE is a great example. See how it improved on that from since June?

 

[Saber]

Also, I hope its not a mmo or an aways internet on title. That would totally make me lose interest.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

I've never read the books or watched the films and i don't intend to.

But i'll be goddamned if i'm not buying this game day one.

 

[octiny]

Finally! Been waiting for this since the leak.

 

[struggler_guts]

Yeah hopefully single player, or maybe coop too. But NOT mmo or always online or have mtx...but that's wishful thinking

 

[Ivory Blood]

Nothing indicates it's an MMO - leaks in the years prior guessed it almost word for word. Seems to be just a standard open world RPG.

For starters, the post claims the game won’t even have Harry Potter in the title, and will instead be called Hogwarts: A Dark Legacy. As the name suggests, you’ll be playing as a Hogwarts student “all the way until graduation.” You get to pick the gender of your character, customise them, as well as choose whether they’re pure blood, muggle or half blood.

Interestingly, the game will deal with mature themes, which the leaker says could push it towards an M rating, or T at the lowest. Romance subplots are seemingly part of the reason, as you’ll be able to marry love interests.

 

[Holammer]

I cannot lie, that game was the most impressive one on display imo.
Kinda similar to the Shadow of Mordor games.

 

[MP!]

came here to be excited since I'm not allowed to be excited at the other place

 

[michaelius]

That looks awesome - almost like Witcher in Harry Potter world

 

[MadYarpen]

As a person who was growing up reading HP books as they were being released, now 31, I can't wait for this. I am sure there are a lot of people like me.

And this eing an action RPG makes this even better.

 

[Valentino]

JE-ZUS! This looked like everything I wanted! Visually! Aesthetic is on point. Graphics remind me of Rocksteady graphics in the best possible way. Love what I've seen

 

[Ivory Blood]

I just can't stop laughing at the reeera thread on this, lol.

 

[J-Roderton]

Ima make my own Hufflepuff dude. Let’s go.

Edgiest of the edgy Slytherin is where it's at.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Ain't no Bully 2 but I'll take it.

 

[Astral Dog]

Those visuals look a bit odd. Not sure I understand the appeal of this artstyle. Is this single-player? Hopefully it is, and hopefully it's not shat on by any live service elements.

Im not sure whats wrong about the visuals, looks amazing tbh

 

[gow3isben]

Thanks for this JK.

Fuck Reshitera.

Wish it wasn't open world but looks friggin boss.

 

[PerfectDark]

Harry potter is awesome. A MMO or RPG would be amazing. This game looked like crap. Nothing about it looked good.

 

[Saber]

Edgiest of the edgy Slytherin is where it's at.

I'm in, let's bully him Slytherin bud.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Down for this day one, looked awesome, and Slytherin for life baby!

 

[Astral Dog]

ERA complains now but they will be the first ones to buy this game and play it on their Harry Potter costumes then return it to stores (if they bought it physical if not bad luck) and continue bitching about JK Rowling on the internet

 

[struggler_guts]

Interestingly the new trailer said even past graduation?

 

[Ivory Blood]

Here is an old leak that gives more info.

 

[Fake]

I just can't stop laughing at the reeera thread on this, lol.

This is amazing.

 

[Ivory Blood]

Guess we'll play the last years with some timeskips. Maybe the final battle and a free-roam after the school is over.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

The REEEEEEEEEEE takes make this reveal even better.

 

[J-Roderton]

Pretty cool that it’s set way back in time.

 

[CloudNull]

came here to be excited since I'm not allowed to be excited at the other place

Did you actually work on this game?

 

[Ivory Blood]

Huh, you are the one from the screenshot. Are you a developer on this for real?

 

[PumpkinPie]

The game of my dreams. Please be good

Spoiler

GRYFFINDOR!!!

 

[Shodan09]

This looks amazing. I hope it has elements of Bully where you have to balance taking classes with doing other things.

 

[whitesugar]

it's an IP that has such huge potential for a game world. i'm most curious about how you transition from Hogwarts out into the wider world. If Hogwarts is the main hub and there are separate areas you can go out to for missions, or if'ts all the areas shown are part of that Hogwarts island and immediate surrounding area, and it's all one map.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Can't wait for this. Looks better than I ever thought I'd get from a HP game honestly. Might actually be something my wife watches me play for once. We have a family tradition of reading Harry Potter with the kids some nights. In the living room, book on a standing laptop stand, milk and cookies/brownies and the fireplace on. Love us some HP.

 

[blastprocessor]

For me this was the star of the show.

 

[Shodan09]

Looks very reminiscent of Fable. And Fable x HP is something that makes me very excited.

Hogsmead would be excellent.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Not much of a fan of the world , for me tho this was the most impressive game shown, the lighting in particular

 

[imsosleepy]

I was unimpressed. Looks like current gen, not next gen to me

there are only a few studios who can make next gen games look like next gen

 

[Neff]

Looks absolutely brilliant. I was blown away.

 

[SilentUser]

this looked suprisingly nice

Agreed, I thought it was a welcomed surprised. Will keep an eye on it for sure.

 

[Orta]

The PaedoEra thread is hilarious. Over 500 posts and almost every one of them comes with a rabid "fuck JK Rowling" disclaimer.

 

[CloudNull]

Game looks amazing. My most hyped game currently.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Anyone that has a problem with the factual truths J K Rowling has stated is a misogynist, pure and simple.

It's no surprise that once again a den of far left extremists, like those over at Era, show the one thing they truly believe in (other than gaining power) is hatred.

 

[RJMacready73]

Jesus Christ just had a look over at that cesspit of cunts that is resetera to check out the Hogwarts thread and by fuck those loons are something else... The game looks incredible and as a massive fan of the world and JK Rowlings right to say whatever the fuck she wants even though i believe she's as bout as transphobic as a fucking cabbage but my God those people are downright fucking Hilarious in their hatred of her which makes this game all the more sweeter cause you just know them fucking retards loved Harry Potter and now their poor little brains are all confused and conflicted over finally getting the game a world like Harry Potter deserves and they can't get past their fucking little circle jerk of hating any cunt with a differing opinion... The lolz are mighty

 

[Amish Prince]

Gotta love the morons on twitter and ERA that think this won't sell like hotcakes because of some barely even "transphobic" shit JK said

Being transphobic by era standards is simply knowing that there's a biological difference between a trans woman and a woman.

I'm assuming with it being open world it'll be seemless running from area to area especially with these ssd's able to shift massive amounts of data, the area around Hogwarts could be vast, you have the dark forest, the lake, the mountains the town of hogsmead and no doubt a ton of other areas to explore alongwith a fucking gigantic massive castle, can't bloody wait

 

[ColonialRaptor]

If this turns out to be as good as I feel it looks it will be at the top of my most wanted games. Please be good please be good!!!

I’m really kinda hoping that once you’re outside the castle border you’re able to aperate anywhere!
