Correction/notes:
-Avalanche SOFTWARE worked on this game. Not Avalanche Studios.
-theres a short missing audio clip late in the video. Track was muted during render, whoops.
-I know Order of Phoenix & Half Blood Prince are newer and have more accurate recreations of the castle. I'll look at those later.
Anyway, working on a lot of content right now - stay tuned :)
teaser on the next documentary? Yakuza/Like A Dragon?
Yeah, the same first name for the two dev teams confuses me at times too
Half blood prince would provide a good competition
"hogs-meed" not "hogs-med"
@Nick930 are you considering doing a direct comparison of all 3 version of GTA 5 on the PS3,PS4, & PS5?
Honestly this video makes me want a "History of Harry Potter games" video. I would love to see that!
yeah that sounds like it'd be a fun video to burn an hour or two on
I happen to have a pile of Harry potter games here that I ordered off ebay.
But I also have a few other projects in mind too
That would be awesome!
@@Nick930 Do they also include the LEGO games?
@@Nick930 this video is greatt!!
the divination tower ladder at 9:05 is actually more accurate to the books. in the books it was a megical ladder that would drop down once the class would begin. The students would all wait for that to happen at the spot on 9:13. :)
Real fans know
I was thinking the exact same thing
I wish I could take a game like this back to 1982 and show it to an Atari 2600 player. When they're absolutely aghast with shock at how far computing and gaming will eventually go, I'll smile and say "But it's not perfect. For instance, there are no blood vessels in the character's eyes' cornea."
I had a good laugh mate
you could just literally talk to anyone over 40
He actually meant the sclera (the white part). The cornea is transparent and devoid of blood vessels, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see.
Harry Potter 1-3 were some of my favorite games growing up, and while they certainly had aspects of free roam I always wished for a game that let you truly explore and immerse yourself in everything Hogwarts and the wizarding world had to offer. 20 years later here we are, the devs did an incredible job and this game has more than surpassed my expectations
Is it a good game even if I'm not a Harry Potter fan? I haven't seen any movies and have only had the first book read to me by my 6th grade teacher back in 99/2000
@@randybobandy9828 if you are interested/fascinated by the wizarding world (harry potter universe) then it may be one if not the most diverse game of 2023 and the game itself apart from the performance may actually win the GOTY award, overall its a really good game if you love the wizarding world 😊
@@randybobandy9828 and the game explains most of the mechanics and story so even if you’re not a potter fan then you might understand most things in the game
@@randybobandy9828 It's a very slow burn type of game, tutorials take over 10 hours to be finished, but it doesn't take away the enjoyment I've had since playing the first hour of it.
As a pokemon fan. I'm still waiting for the real thing😅
Your mispronunciation of *Hogsmeade* as _Hogsmedd_ has made my day.
I remember being in around 3rd grade playing the original. Its hard to believe I'm about to be 30 playing this now
time flies. Great video
Legacy is definitely the definitive game when it comes to seeing the Harry Potter world brought to life, but there's certainly no denying how the older games will always have a place in the hearts of those who were kids back when those titles dropped, and of course playing a role in helping this game realize its world. Order of the Phoenix was the last game I played, and I remembered loving how you could explore so much of the castle and find secrets. So having the entire castle and the Scottish highlands be explorable was a brilliant move.
je rêve d'un remake des jeux vidéo harry potters avec la qualité de legacy !
The ladder to the divination classroom is a detail they added from the books.
As good as the music is in Hogwarts Legacy, it’s not nearly as magical as Chamber of secrets. I really want that music playing again while I explore the castle.
I agree, there is so much more "magic" in the old soundtracks.
Jeremy Soule really did something special with that soundtrack
Myrtle's bathroom was however on the second floor and NOT in the dungeons according to book. So that's a mistake there, isnt it? Also the extended ladder is accurate to the book.
Though, it being in the dungeons actually makes more sense, considering where it leads 😅
@@operationorigins4714 Truuue LOL.
Thank you for making this Direct Comparison, Nick. As someone who played the hell out of the original Philosopher's Stone on the PS1 and The Chamber of Secrets on the PS2, this video really took me back to that time. Looking forward to more!❤
as far as i remember the divination classroom DID have a ladder but it was from the books 9:06
Just here to say Chamber of Secrets is one of the most underrated games
underrated soundtrack too
The ladder in the Divination Tower is accurate to the books, there its described you have to crawl up a ladder to get i to tbe classroom, was changed for the movies for whatever case though 🤷♀️
"...as it's known in the UK."
Bro that's what it's known as everywhere in the English-speaking world outside of the USA since, you know, that's the title of the book.
I’m still not sure why they changed it, the original sounds more mysterious and less tacky
@@YourOwnDa the US book publishers changed it as they thought "philosopher's" would sound 'boring' to potential readers
Just a reminder, Hogwarts Legacy is developed by Avalanche Software, not to be confused with Avalanche Studios who created the Just Cause series and Mad Max.
The Gameboy variants of Harry Potter were a very fond memory of my childhood & back then they seemed so vast! My favourite one was The Philosopher’s Stone on Gameboy Advance 😎😅
I'd love to see you do a Metroid Prime direct comparison between the remaster and the original game!
First played Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (PSOne) at 9 years old, and to think I'm a 27 year old man now, getting equally as excited for Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) is something.
I'm in my mid 30's and never was a Harry Potter fan and am loving the game. You like what you like nothing wrong with that.
18:42 were you meaning for us to hear audio from the game there? or is that just an awkward pause in your script?
Legacy really does play sometimes like a Souls Lite game and I love it. The battles can be brutally challenging on higher difficulties, and putting in 150 hours of Elden Ring had me rolling away from attacks nearly every time 😂
This game’s castle is astonishing, the attention to detail. Great comparison video, came a long way in graphics
Hey @Nick930, will you do a Fromsoftware video soon? Maybe after Elden Ring DLC?
Hoping to see some of the later Potter games compared to Legacy
the divination ladder is actually in the book
Yeah, though it's odd considering everything else is based on the films
@Nick930 The castle isn't meant to be a recreation of the one from the movies. It's very different, such as the grand staircase. It's more based on the description from the books with influence from the movies where applicable.
@@brady500 Most of it is built to mirror the movie sets exactly. But you're right, there are exceptions like the grand staircase.
@@Nick930 True, and honestly I prefer the staircase. Alfonso Cuaron built that world so well! I am glad we have some additions from the book tho, especially peeves.
the chamber of secrets bathroom in the 2003 ps2 game was accessed through a normal door on the second floor i believe. the bathroom through the portrait (fred and george’s shop) was an entirely different bathroom, it just looked similar.
I like how the first games (philosophers stones) soundtrack was so good, that people still use it to associate it with harry potter games instead of using the films soundtrack
Knew I can count on you for delivering another great video! Haha love these.
Nick will you be uploading a NFS unbound vs NFS heat vid?
Why nick always ignore me🙁
When I was a child, I saw a Shooting-Star and wished that the first HarryPotter Game on PC would be an awesome Game, and it was! The Castle, the Spells and the Music were such a great expierience in my Childhood. Now I'm 32 and this Game really gave me the feeling of being there, never have I felt such a living Harry Potter World, it is just perfect and there's so much to do! They came out of nothing and just greatet one of the best Open World Games!
What i love about this game is that it makes you feel that you are part of the Wizarding world
now i just REALLY want is REMAKE of all hp games which was based on books..
I actually appreciate the divination ladder! They were faithful to the books in this aspect. I loved ur video and all the amount of work you put into it. Thank you ❤
I wish they would make remastered version of the first two Harry Potter games
The music from the first three games are still unbeatable
can you compare the later harry potter games like on the ps3 against legacy?
I've been waiting for a video like this!
The village is called Hogsmeade [hogsmeed], not Hogsmed
As always, a great video, but, the pronunciation of Hogsmead just destroyed me 😂
whate were u expecting, the cloak to clip through the stool? 19:25
LOL
The stairs leading to the divination class are based on the books to be lore-friendly.
The main harry potter games that i truly remember fondly were prisoner of azkaban and quidditch world cup on the GameCube, and then the lego games. The other games were fine, at the time anyway. Also the music in this video was nostalgic as hell
I'm not a massive potter fan, more casual fan having only seen the films.
That being said I got Hogwarts and I'm loving it so far. Just wish had more time to play it
may you compare Shenmue against Shemnue 3 ? 🙏
It took me SO LONG to beat that one Charms class mission in Chamber of Secrets when I was in 5th grade!😂
Now, if only we can get a Harry Potter DLC with the Hogwarts Legacy game, that would be amazing (for us older fans).
Is it just me or audio at 18:45 is missing?
Obviously the audio of the guy is just missing, there is music still going in the background.
when are you gonna do Witcher 3 RTX?
WHAT SHADER ARE YOU USING IN HL
Um.. none? The default?
@@Nick930 oh it looks super great lmao better than mine
9:13 thats how they described the room in the books
Please talk about a plague tale requiem it has some of the most amazing visuals I have ever seen
Always pleasant to watch. Thank you @Nick930
Can u do a nfs heat vs nfs unbound please?
Thanks for labeling the 2 was having some trouble find out the difference.
18:40 Was there supposed to be audio of the NPC talking?
Yup. Not sure what happened there. Oh well.
I prefer the HP1 PC level design. There's some kind of charm to it that cannot be replicated with modern day graphics.
Can you make a history of Harry Potter video
Setting DLSS to performance mode makes no sense for this type of video. Why would you do that?
Please make a comparison between this whole game and The Academy of Raya Lucaria in Elden ring which is %5 of the game.
I couldn’t care less about the technical stuff of these comparison, I just enjoy your voice
These videos make me sleepy, not in a bad way
9:33 bro really called hogsmeade hogsmed
1:49 It’s exactly a century as the game takes place in the 1890’s and the hp series takes place in the 1990’s
I like the castle but... they changed the iconic staircase. I'm guessing it just fit better into the layout
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone book describe no such central stairwell. What it does mention is stairways that change their destination occasionally.
Great video but I feel offended every time you miss-pronounce Hogsmeade... haha
4:58 it's Avalanche Software not Avalanche Studios who made the game
This is definitely the strangest idea for a Direct Comparison video made to date, but I more than welcome it!
I compared Trogdor to Demon Souls...
@@Nick930 😄
@@Nick930 That is definitely true, although to be fair that video was just one big April Fools joke if I'm not mistaken
With so much happening in Legacy - the main plot, all the side quests and main quests, the exploring etc - adding quidditch would have distracted from the overall feel of the game...considering the main character is playing catch up with their studies, plus trying to discover their hidden talent and unravel a mystery, plus getting distracted from side quests - i can't imagine how they'd find the time to even play quidditch PLUS they are still getting up to speed with flying.
I think if they were to release a sequel, that might open up the opportunity to include quidditch.
my main issue with the game is the "revelio" spell... i like the idea of it BUT like many, i find myself casting it everywhere all the time. It makes the game feel very unnatural, it becomes a crutch for people to rely on, and it means secrets don't stay secret for long -- Surely hermione would have known this spell and it would have solved a lot of problems in the books/movies.
it's not philosopher's stone in Just the UK. It's philosopher's stone everywhere except america
Can we please just get a remaster of 1-3 & QWC for modern consoles.
Fantastic video!
Every time someone calls the PS1 models "nightmare fuel," an angel loses its wings. And then gets hit by a bus.
They looked silly and maybe a bit off-putting in some cases, but they weren't _that_ bad. Developers on the PS1 worked with what they had, and some techniques were just more successful than others.
Comparing it to other games at the time I can definitely say it could've looked better, the problem was using scans of realistic faces when they could've used other art style for it that would've looked less uncanny
Why this guy is so much underrated 😢
9:13 Thats exactly how the entrance to the Divination classroom is described in the Novels :)
Also, Why are you only showing footage from the first 2 games? the 5th game had a way better Hogwarts in terms of design and accuracy to the movies.
Pls do Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix vs Hogwarts Legacy next pls
Victor Rookwood’s animations are extremely good compared to everyone else
I wish the new game could have all the neon styles like in old games. That's the true Potter world just like Batmans Gotham.
i was writing in comments if this game have same quality as ps1 it will be so great
and now you have same feelings as me about the first game
offcourse i want to see graphic deference to the last game deathly hollows
I think since you modded the old PC games to run in 4K, it would have made sense to emulate the PS1 and PS2 games in 4K as well.
Yeah... No, sorry, but the controls for flying a broomstick in the PC version of Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone in Quidditch wasn't terrible.
They weren't particularly great, but they weren't truly terrible either.
It was actually one of the few games from the franchise that allowed freely broomstick flight along with the console versions of the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets.
And in the console version of Chamber of Secrets you could fly a little bit free roam around the castle.
The PC version of Chamber of Secrets, and almost every version of Goblet of Fire and Half Blood Prince had on rail broom flight, where you couldn't freely change direction.
I'm also not a complete fan of the broom flight controls in Hogwarts Legacy. I find it unintuitive to hold forward on the left stick to move forward while using the right stick to adjust height.
The problem with that is you lose almost all camera control because you can only use the right stick now to look left and right, but not up and down.
I prefer a control scheme where you have the left stick for turning left, right and fly up and down while the right stick controls the camera, and you use either A or the Right trigger to fly forward.
Which thankfully is a mod on the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy you can download and use.
I really dislike the lighting in the new game... The reflections are cool and all, but to me the massive amount of shimmering distracts from the image more than they add to it, regardless of how neat they are from a technical perspective. And somehow in all footage I've seen so far the contrast in the new game seems to be really shallow, you barely ever have something bright- and dark-looking in the image at the same time. To me as a result it feels like the game just has no lighting/shadows at all. Colors are washed out compared to the old games as well. It may look more realistic to go with a more limited color range for, well, a realistic visual style, but looking at this video makes me want to explore the vistas of the old game much more than those of the new one.
That said, I'm happy for everyone who doesn't mind these things (or enjoys them) and has fun with the game; it seems to be pretty well received after all
Finally, someone who shares my criticism of the new game. The old games had brilliant art direction despite the limited graphics. And the colorful world worked perfectly with Jeremy Soule's scores.
You both forget to realise the original Harry Potter games was by ea a bigger company with bigger budgets hogwarts legacy is by a very small team
@@moelester3141
Actually EA hired a bunch of small companies to make tie-in games for the first 3 Harry Potter games and only gave them a year of dev time to release along side the movie.
Also there argument was about art direction which has little to do with how much money is behind a project as Legacy was clearly aiming for a relaistic style with washed out colors while the older games were going for a more coloful slightly cartoony style.
@@rynobehnke8289 exactly the new one is amazing
2:15 did you guys notice that girl walking on top of the fireplace
Yeah the students do silly stuff sometimes. I seen a guy trying to walk on the side of a wall with magic in the courtyard and was having difficult standing straight as the gravity tried to pull him down. It was funny.
They made Gareth a big lazy thief. 🧐 It seemed like any time he had any dialogue he was asking _Hiro Protagonist_ to steal something. Harumph!
I thought hogwarts legacy was in its own continuity as well, something that's a mix of all the films as well as their own thing
It really does have a similar game feel as the Arkham series omggg
Can you do a documentary on Yakuza/Like A Dragon? Since Ishin is coming soon
YES YES YES YES YES
Makes me cry a little my younger cousin never lived to see this. She absolutely loved everything Harry Potter and the media. As much as it bugged me she would be obsessed with everything Wizarding world I now see that magic and why it caught entire generations, with books movies and now a game an entire industry is paying attention too. Just wonderful.
The divination ladder was in the books
Man I miss that first PC game tho
Nick930, the hero we need right now.
15:31 Cat.
Confused why you didn't just use a game like Order of the Phoenix as a comparison instead, that also has a fully explorable hogwarts and can probably me more directly cross referenced with Hogwarts Legacy
The Harry Potter game of the ps2 still looks beautiful played on an old monitor that hides the imperfections and makes it look awesome, for me anyway. Not as realistic of course, but still just as beautiful.
You should compare Hogwarts Legacy to the PS3 entries Order of the Phoenix and Prisoner of Azkaban. The castle in those were pretty faithful to the films and I would argue are the 2 best HP games not named Hogwarts Legacy.
Monster Hunter World/Rise VS Wild Hearts direct comparison? 🙏🏾
The old one looks more colorful.
You have to put ''SPOILER ALERT" thing in the beginning. Now, before starting Hogwarts Legacy once again in another house, I already know about two NPC, because of you... However, I still love your videos and it helps a lot to understand something about old/new/remastered versions of some games. Peace
Or because you clicked on a video about Hogwarts Legacy before playing Hogwarts Legacy. I'm 50 hours in and would have never done that, if I wasn't. Most spoilers are easy to avoid if you stay away from the material before you play.
Pretty good explanation as to why we can't play Quidditch lmao
Truely an amazing world recreated by the devs, loos and plays really good. Only my complain is lack of quidich and poor PC performance.
