If they ever made an open world AAA LOTR RPG where you create your own character and can travel all over Middle Earth I would die happy… of course I would just roleplay as Tom Bombadil.
I hope so too but I doubt it. Developers these days hate locking too much content behind player choice. Despite it making a single player game like this very replay-able. I hope I’m wrong.
They could make the chamber is secrets only available to Slytherin house characters (of course the Basilisk would be sleeping and dormant. And each house could have a special area as well…. Not sure what the other houses would have.
@@ThirdSonSeth im sad that it wont be BUT im actually pretty glad the devs are being so honest up front. No chamber, no quidditch... depending on how the game goes, a few awesome DLCs could introduce some interesting new mechanics down the line. I for one would love a time jump DLC where you teleport to the future and play through parts of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts.
@@Matt-bg5wg mean kinda like how AC Unity did with their time jump sequences? If that’s what you mean, that’d be pretty dope. I really can’t wait to see how fleshed out the world is. Definitely seems like the Harry Potter game I’ve been waiting for since my childhood.
I want an Avatar The Last Airbender game of this class, excellent open world, character creation, RPG, deep and well traversal gameplay and different Timeline across the massive universe.
That would be soo sick like imagine you got to make your own avatar in the future and the you could have flashback segment where you play as aang kora Roku etc
I'm glad they're not overselling. Seems to me they're trying to release a solid base game that delivers what it promises so they can add stuff in the next year or two. DLCs like Wizard Tournament and Quidditch are bound to come sooner or later if the release goes well - which it should since they're being straightfoward as far as we know. Got a good feeling about this one!
I could see a Tri Wizard Tournament DLC, but not Quidditch. That's a whole separate set of gameplay mechanics, unless they choose to force us into being a seeker, but if you've played any of the old HP games, you'll know how boring that was because it was mostly a fly-thru-rings simulator. Plus, Quidditch falls into the sports genre. Hogwarts Legacy falls into Open World RPG. You can't really mix two different genres. It would be better as a standalone game with it's own features and stuff. That way you can have all the positions, expand the teams to the lore friendly British and Irish Quidditch League to feature more than just the Hogwarts houses. You could then have a franchise style mode like in Madden (with less microtransaction BS preferably). Multiplayer could be added as well. Legacy has the potential to be turned into a trilogy, and opening up the Wizarding World to new Triple A games, including a Quidditch and some kind of live service/multiplayer game. We just need this first one to be a huge success!
They can’t add the triwizard cup because it’s not lore accurate since the last time the tri wizard cup was held (before Harry Potter) was in 17 something.
@@russellpuff1996 Totally agree! Having quidditch as a jenky minigame would be a disservice and would feel out of place. I did some more reserch on the development of this game and the devs really chose to go all into narrative and customization instead of the mini game route. I'm in favor of their choice of strenghtening core mechanics instead of having a bunch of average small things
I'm glad to hear the they're being so open about the game, but at the same time it's kinda sad that we're all excited that devs actually communicate with us nowadays.
Plus, they're not overselling it. Which is a breath of fresh air. I'm tired of seeing game devs overhyping promising 1000 features in the game only for it come out short and the overexpecting players then get dissapointed. *Cough* cyberpunk *cough*
devs being open about their project and actively communicating with their fans is something that was just as arare even back in the day, it was mainly the smaller dev teams that barely classified as a AAA or a small studio being picked up by a big publisher. Like Bungie when making Halo or anything Mafia games related, but you don't really see the actual big companies do this even back in the day.
It's so fucking irritating listening to you all bitch about this shit when the numbers just don't make sense if a good portion of the gamers bitching about the industry aren't the same shitheads preordering every blatantly overhyped cash-grab. Gamers deserve to be oppressed.
never been a Potter fan, but i really hope this game is a smash hit and not for the 'drama' theater, but because now more than ever we need a strong signal to corpo goons that success is earned by putting fans of the source material at the helm the devs for this game seem to clearly have massive respect for the source, and while it's annoying that that's something we have to praise nowadays, it's encouraging that at least a few people are holding on to it (great video, falcon)
@@noblesseoblige319 There's this thing called the internet, where you can find fans and reviewers saying it is or isn't in such a number that it's irrefutable. I'm sure one day, you will either figure this out or stfu and stop trying to be so "clever", it's not working.
0:16 - Seamless open world 2:26 - NOT a Hogwards Simulator 4:00 - Brooms & Mounts 5:09 - The UI 6:58 - Combat 8:35 - The Room of Requirement 9:46 - Character creation 10:47 - Companions 11:37 - Story 12:21 - Release Date
I just hope you can play it organically without too much UI... I'm craving that amazing sense of exploration and discovery I got from ER and this world looks great so far!
If the combat is satisfying (e.g. there are stakes, intensity, balance of button/key selection skill and AI assists, loadout impacts, etc.) I really think this will be a hit. Especially since everything else looks pretty on point. So much room for expansion if they get this right the first time.
@@SimonHergott yeah, I agree actually. I definitely was super hyped for cyberpunk cos it looked cool. This, to me, looks not that cool even, I don't understand the hype. I feel it is going to be a lot less open and more linear than it seems.
@@JunkBondTrader This does look a bit generic with harry potter paint on it. That makes me worried. But I do understand the hype for this game. I'm extremely hyped for it and that hasn't happened to me in many many years (can't actually remember another time I was so hyped). It is because of this world, I read the books as a kid and really loved them and even suffered through the movies several times because of how much I like this world. If this is just a bit better than generic open world with harry potter paint on it, it will be enough to be a good game for me. I'm even considering preordering it which is crazy for me (never understood the concept of preorders), but I'll wait for the initial inevitable bugs to be ironed out.
@@JunkBondTrader besides, the verticality allowed in exploration with the broom flight has real promise if they implemented it well. That could be great.
Hello Falcon! I’ve worked at GameStop for about 4 months now and when a new AAA game comes out, we have “quizzes” for each one. More so we know what to tell customers, who makes it, when it comes out, etc. I’ve watch many of these before I was an employee at GameStop, but now I have even more joy watching it because I learn from you guys and spread the word. It helps my coworkers and I so much. Thank you Falcon and Gameranx, I’ve been watching your channel since I was in 6th grade, I’m a freshman in college now 😅
Thank you for not cancelling Hogwarts Legacy as other game media did (it is pointless, no matter the way you look at it). We appreciate that and value your excellent work even more!
With the beast room and aquarium it really shows that the devs werent just thinking about harry potter IP but also the fantastic beasts series that connects it, absolutely love that
I’m worried about performance as well. But, yeah magic/combat/exploration in the open world is my other biggest interest. Hope it’s done well. Gotta wait for reviews I guess.
The gaming industry could genuinely use a next gen W like this rn. Especially after forespoken and Gotham knights. This looks mad promising I’m so excited
i had a chance a few months ago to buy a ps5 when i traded in my switch and all the games i had at gamestop, and i told the person i wasnt interested because there arent any good games that have come out yet. they looked so surprised and offended lol
but I mean according to the HP lore, quidditch was a new thing in the books right? So it kinda makes sense it wouldn't be in the game as it takes place a century before the books.
Looks awesome, I can't wait. I will say I think the minimap would be more beneficial than a compass in this game. It makes sense in Elden ring since its mostly open, but with Hogwarts it seems like a lot of indoors so a Minimap makes more sense over a compass. I think it looks like a great game. I'm a bit glad I'm not going to be forced to do anything with time limits and can explore as I please.
Either the compass or the minimap - none of them work. Nobody uses a compass anyway and the minimap steals your sight away from the things that are actually happening before you.
Loved the ""four loadouts"" thing. Reminded me of how i could change between my four stealth abilities and the four agressive ones with the touch of a button in AC: Odyssey
I wasn't going to buy this game. But after the crazies said you're transphobic if you buy it, I've preordered two copies. One for me and one for my friend who likes Harry Potter.
It's just gone too far bro they try to tell us what jokes are funny, what to buy, who to like, it's insanity. All while they look down on us from their moral high horse while wearing clown make up
I wish I was into Harry Potter. This game looks soo cool. Id like something like this for Star Wars. Being a padawan living and attending classes in the Jedi temple. The going on mission with your Master during the clone wars or something along those lines
Give it a shot, you might like it since it’s based on a character you make and your story instead of playing through the Harry Potter story line, just think of it as a wizard game not a Harry Potter game🤣
I'm really hoping for mod support on this. As has been the case with so many open-world RPGs by now, there is always something that the community can improve upon or add onto that resonates with most players, if given the chance to do so. Things like expanded character creation and custom mounts, brooms, outfits and so on are what I think will likely be the more popular mods, if it does have support for it. Otherwise, worst case scenario, community patches and bugfixes if some things happen to be super buggy or broken. (Looking at you, Bethesda.)
Just imagine the madness if there were Quidditch tournaments played online and it was really fun to score for your House/Team and able to taunt opponents or being one of those bludgers!
@@PuurJarrett Create the Quidditch mechanic so that houses have different perks and people have to choose their house not just based on house preference but also perks and benefits. Because we don't have Quidditch yet I can't really come up with any ideas, but if they add a Quidditch system that enables houses to have certain perks or traits then population control could be self regulated, maybe even dynamic, changing over time, seasonal.
Awe maannn I'm so bummed there's no Quiditch and school system. The open world looks cool but I was hoping they'd go more in depth with the classes and actual castle, like secrets with the changing stairs room or the library. The first few movies focus heavily in the internal environment before branching out to wider regions and bigger social impact in the later films.
I'm going to wait a bit before buying this game just in case there's any issues on release. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Just seeing how far HP games have some from the philosophers stone I played on my potato 20 years ago is pretty exciting. This is something I always wanted from the franchise.
As people should be doing. Especially if it start off like Callisto Protocol, and initial release of Cyberpunk which apparently people didn't learn that even a big and good reputation devs like CDPR can blunder, of course with publisher's influence. Fortunately, they did release patches quite fast for Callisto and it's running great now.
@@SchifferThe2nd 100%. Nothings guaranteed until you're actually sitting there trying to play the game. That's great they patched Callisto Protocol, not my cup of tea but I know a lot of people were super hyped and pre-purchased it. With such an ambitious project like Hogwarts Legacy, there's a chance it's gonna need kinks smoothed after the initial release.
One thing I want to know is how many secrets there are (Not the exact amount, just whether there's a lot) because having the magical castle with barely any secrets would be a massive missed opportunity. Part of the old classic games was how many secrets there were and they were always exciting to find. If there isn't many, or theyre very predictable or repetitive, itll be a big shame.
I am so impressed with how much thought love and care was put into the development of this game. I need Avalanche to make more games like this. They should do LOTR Star Wars and more
Man, this looks great. I think it would be awesome if the Triwizard Tournament happens in this game! Even if it doesn't this looks like it's going to be legendary.
I’d love access to Diagon Alley and Nocturne Alley, Godrick’s Hollow, and the Entire Ministry of Magic and Department of Mysteries. They could make it open world by having a secret Entrance to the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade, and then Diagon alley and Godrick’s Hollow could simply be rooms in the department of Mysteries that mimic a possible future or the past version of those locations. And maybe have it flickers between the two. The department of mysteries could allow you to see prophecies of other characters, additional lore and stories, and all sorts of other strange rooms and such.
I love the mini map I hate the compass it just doesn't give enough information when trying to find something on it. And it makes sense in Hogwarts Legacy cause we've seen magical maps before in the wizarding world. So can't wait to play this game 😀
Been watching gameranx for a few years now and it's crazy how the boys are constantly getting better at doing these vids/recording engaging talks, Falcon honestly sounds like a whole different man from earlier videos - way more energetic, sounding a whole lot more confident, and it might just be my perception but the man just sounds like he's overall way happier and comfortable than he used to, which makes him really enioyable to listen to. I hope that he is indeed a happy man, really appreciate him, Jake and everyone involved in the finest video games channel on this platform. Godspeed to all of you guys! (Hogwarts looks amazing btw, real excited to play it)
People like you are the lowest of the low, all you've said here is that "you used to be crap". Just say you enjoyed the video, how hard is that? Do better.
That meter at the bottom doesn’t control how high you can go. They said in the video it’s your boost and when you’re low to the ground it doesn’t use up but when you’re up high it does so you can’t boost up high for very long.
Only thing I would've wanted was starting at the beginning and playing through your whole student career and doing all the years. Excited to see potential DLC things they come up with
im worried about the combat because i usually hate spellcaster types in rpg's and i really hated ghost of tsushima. if the combat isnt hitting the way it needs to, it could really cripple the entire experience
This game looks pretty good from the little amount I’ve seen I really think the combat will make or break this game that’s also assuming that exploration is fun since it’s such an interesting world being Harry Potter and all
Pretty sure they're playing it safe with the combat like other Warner Bros games, it's the well established Arkham system just like Mad Max and Shadow of War for instance.
@Falcon anyone who pre-orders the game, on any platform, gets a hippogriff mount. But you gotta pre order. An that's any version of the game pre ordered too. 👌 Also, figured I'd mention that you can breed the beasts. Ya it's like tomagachi.
@Vivi Siow get what? The black onix hippogriff? Maybe. I know we can breed but they didn't say how hard it would be to get a onix one bread. Which I imagine you'd hafta to do to get a none white one. Either way, its a free mount for everyone to " start" the game out with just for pre ordering. Falcon didn't mention that. So I figured I'd tell him.
The issues I see with the magic system is that it seems very unimaginative. Like you should have basic spells like Petrificus Totalus, or Stupefy, or Expelliarmus, but they should be rather limited. You should have an auto-counter spell that you cast that negates low level spells shot at you for a short amount of time, and a manual counter spell that deflects all or a portion of damage dealt, reducing stagger where necessary, as base kit. But like that's just the beginning of the fight, in the main event, I want to see some fucking crazy shit like in the Voldemort v Dumbledore fight in Order of the Phoenix, or the Dumbledore v Credence in Secrets of Dumbledore. The beginning stuff should just be to get through all the newbies who don't know anything beyond the basic spells, or think that the basic spells should be the main repertoire. But instead it looks like we're just getting red wispy attack, green wispy attack, oh look Wingardium Leviosa!, and back to yellow wispy attack...
This comment gets it. I feel kinda let down because there should be knowledge of spells and good utilization. Also, kinda curious as to how they’re gonna handle “killing” in this game. A lot of the fights (excluding high level wizards) ended with disarms/disables. In here, just looks like they fall over “dead” with each spell. I hope they get this right, cause this game could be a whole lot of fun
Upfront, honest devs, no microtransactions. These are good omens. Crossing my fingers for this one because it has a lot of room for growth/setting a market for more games like this.
I would love to be able to cast spells on the students and other npcs. It could even be harmless spells like levitating them, summoning them, freezing, etc. We would not even need to be able to hurt or damage them. It would be an easy mechanic to add considering it’s already in use on most animals.
Although you said male or female voice they named the options 1 and 2 with pitch. I was looking for any direct indicator of male/female specific indicators which from what I could see there wasn't. Looks like you are just creating a person of your choice which considering the recent cries of banning due to J.K should hopefully signal to those people that the game is not aligned to any alleged views. Looks good!!
If we’re gonna talk dlc I’m really rooting for an online separate entity. If the open world aspect doesn’t flop, and it’s rewarding with loot, and there’s a good rpg element with levels and combat. I see no reason why this game couldn’t be hosted on an online server. Maybe it’ll be better handled by a team that cares as opposed to Rockstar and the fumble we know as RDR2. Would just be nice to see something fresh; like an ESO Valhalla 🤷♂️
I was hoping the game would give you a personality quiz that would determine your house, but I suppose you can just go with your pottermore account if you want to be that immersed
If you have a Wizarding World account, you can link your accounts. Whatever is on your account will transition to the game. There is a sorting quiz on the Wizarding World website.
I love how stupid Google keeps showing me how people are boycotting this game and "everybody hates it" and it's so controversial. Yet it's the most pre-ordered game on PlayStation and it's a monster seller. So much for the boycott, nerds
The SMILE on my face right now. I'm getting the Switch version but it'll be worth the wait because I'll have something else to keep me preoccupied until then.
Getting rid of quidditch is one thing, but they could at least include the "Original Sports Competitions" of the wizarding world that we saw in the Goblet of Fire. But who knows. Seems that they feel that the vast amount of opportunities for an individual to prove themselves through explorations and social trials compensates for activities that could have come from things like that.
I really hope they make quidditch a part of the dlc. Even if its not multiplayer it would be a great thing for replay value. Or if there was some kind of new quest that takes you out of hogwarts to london in the 1800s vs muggles that hate witchcraft
Well at least you can enjoy the cozy comfort of the game, then go outside and take a nice Spring walk through nature, and then back inside and enjoy the game, and maybe take a walk at night. During the weekends at least. That's a fun way to enjoy games during the warmer months imo.
I hope taking care of the magical beasts will be like KH 3D's dream eaters' daycare situation and we'd get perks by building a relationship with them.. That would be awesome!
you can name then, feed them play with them to build trust and make them feel comfirtable and that benefits you by them providing you with beast materials you can use to craft so it has benefits :)
@@brandonchutt312 Ah immersion ruined! Not everyone is pale white argh!! Honestly that is probably the ONE thing you should learn to accept is just going to change with many franchises.
@@brandonchutt312 I'm pretty sure that magic, wizards, living paintings, flying brooms, dragons, goblins, hippogriffs, thestrals, magic wands, levitating spells, wizarding schools and magical hats that decide which house you belong to didn't exist in the 1800's either, so your rant about "rewriting history" doesn't really have any validity, does it? Especially considering that you followed up your rant by stating that you're "living in the real world". Rowling's wizarding world is not the real world, and you're also talking about a video game. You could just have written "Hey, I don't like non-white people. How dare they taint my fantasy by including those types?" and be done with it.
Really looking forward to this one, but also cautiously optimistic about it, something about the way most of the player characters they've shown just look weird to me, like the graphical quality of them doesn't match up with the rest of the game, I don't really know how to explain it. Hope it's good, and hope it comes to Gamepass on PC. Till then I'll probably wait to hear what people are saying before picking it up. And even if it's good, I'll probably wait for a sale anyway if it doesn't end up on Gamepass... I've got enough of a backlog of games as it is.
Super excited about this. For the first of the year I was looking forward to Forspoken and this. Forspoken has been a disappointment so I am hoping this will be a hit, especially with how big an HP fan I am.
Considering you said the game has multiple endings, I do hope the game let's you continue after the ending. Some games, such as New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, Dying Light, Bioshock, most other story focused games, they end after the main quest is finished. Either because your home world is destroyed, important characters die, or you as a character change inreversably. I hope that is not the case. Most games I enjoy more when there's some post game content to play with. DLC quests, tournaments, collectables, respawning enemies, events with unique rewards, stuff that keeps you coming back. Also hope there will be a minigame within the game. What I mean with that is a minigame similar to Gwent in The Witcher. Some kind of game you can play with/against other characters, collect cards to improve your deck, play tournaments, something to do after or besides the main quest.
I'm hoping that there are a series of events that take place before the sorting. And in those events, we make choices that determine which house the hat will sort us. Of course we would still have the option to override that decision. Sorta like how in Fallout New Vegas, you get asked a series of questions by the doc and based on those choices is how your skill points are spent, but you can reset them to your preferences if you so choose.
It's a shame about the Quidditch. Would be a great opportunity to add pvp to the game in a pretty different (in relation to the story gameplay) way and a secondary questline
"open world" game, but also a Single player game experience. Its not MMO (which I wish it was at least play with 3 other friends but I'm still happy with what we have been shown so far) So there is no point to have something to PvP in the game right now.
@The Rotten💯 I would have to disagree. in the singleplayer campaign they could have included a big level where you play a quidditch game, some of it scripted and some actual playing with NPCs. Then they could have easily made an all out pvp version of that level.
I've never been into Harry Potter stuff but I think I'll be picking this up. Once a sale hits though lol I wish there was exhaust systems for brooms. With added sounds like a V8, V6, I6, V12 engine.
Open world fantasy action/adventure RPGs are my jam. Anything with a rich lore I love. This games looks too good to be true, but I'm still filled with healthy skepticism.
It's a shame there aren't as many life sim elements. I think they pair well with RPGs and keep the intrinsic value up, but I'm shocked this looks as good as it does from my original skepticism.
You guys should do one of these for Like A Dragon Ishin, that would be great (also this isn't exactly video game related but does anyone know a good place to learn about Sakamoto Ryoma's history before the game releases? My most anticipated game this year and in years for that matter)
Hell, I want a Like a Dragon themed vid covering all three upcoming games. Great time to be a Yakuza fan. I'm finally going to be forced to buy a PS5 though...
i was really hoping for a complex hogwarts castle, it would be so cool that you could spend a lot of time in there solving puzzles and getting lost between the huge hallways and forbidden rooms. At this point, ill be happy if its more than an interactive big menu. EDIT: Also, the combat seems too easy, if you are surrounded by multiple enemies they seem like they are waiting for you to finish with one of them before the next one comes...
Uhhh bro u living under a rock or what, This game has atleast 100 Merlin puzzles, not to mention the Dev's already confirmed that there will be a lot of hidden chambers, passageways and also a lot of dungeons. As for the combat so it only "seems" easy. In the hands on preview for this game , the gamers said they were struggling even on normal mode.
I’m kind of glad they’re not going with a school sim/lessons system. I wouldn’t have been against it and kind of assumed that’s what it’d be, but wasn’t sure how they’d reconcile that with all the open world adventuring so I respect the decision to just not even attempt it and make lessons quest-based instead.
Considering how substantial some expansions can change things up. If the game is loved enough i wouldnt be suprised if they come out with a expabsion that makes the game more like a sim. Puts you in 6th year. Lets you develop relationships. More options for expansion. Would be cool
Only thing that is disappointing me is it’s really cool they included an option to use dark magic, but at the same time if you’re going to have to at then you’d think that would have big impacts on the story. Everything they’ve shown and said gives off the impression though that’s it’s purely gameplay and doesn’t affect the story at all if you chose to use the unforgivable curses. I hope I’m wrong about that, but that’s the vibe I get.
Idk why but one of my biggest gaming pet peeves is when people say a games combat system "looks like arkham" simply bc there's some sort of counter attack in the game. Obviously I haven't played the game yet but nothing about the combat looks like arkham....
I honestly couldn’t be more excited for this game! preordered the deluxe edition so i’ll be playing on the 7th, I imagine i’ll sink tons of hours in this game

That's a whole separate set of gameplay mechanics, unless they choose to force us into being a seeker, but if you've played any of the old HP games, you'll know how boring that was because it was mostly a fly-thru-rings simulator.

never been a Potter fan, but i really hope this game is a smash hit
and not for the 'drama' theater, but because now more than ever we need a strong signal to corpo goons that success is earned by putting fans of the source material at the helm
the devs for this game seem to clearly have massive respect for the source, and while it's annoying that that's something we have to praise nowadays, it's encouraging that at least a few people are holding on to it
(great video, falcon)
Just curious,
How do you know the devs care about the lore and source material without being a fan of the series?
Couldn't agree more 🙌🙌🙌

Indeed.

If the combat is satisfying (e.g. there are stakes, intensity, balance of button/key selection skill and AI assists, loadout impacts, etc.) I really think this will be a hit. Especially since everything else looks pretty on point. So much room for expansion if they get this right the first time.
Looking at all Batman and Shadow of War from WB, I think we can be pretty sure that the combat is going to be engaging and fun.

It'll be the biggest hype train let down since Cyber Punk. It's going to be hilarious.
@@SimonHergott yeah, I agree actually. I definitely was super hyped for cyberpunk cos it looked cool. This, to me, looks not that cool even, I don't understand the hype. I feel it is going to be a lot less open and more linear than it seems.
@@JunkBondTrader This does look a bit generic with harry potter paint on it. That makes me worried. But I do understand the hype for this game. I'm extremely hyped for it and that hasn't happened to me in many many years (can't actually remember another time I was so hyped). It is because of this world, I read the books as a kid and really loved them and even suffered through the movies several times because of how much I like this world. If this is just a bit better than generic open world with harry potter paint on it, it will be enough to be a good game for me. I'm even considering preordering it which is crazy for me (never understood the concept of preorders), but I'll wait for the initial inevitable bugs to be ironed out.
@@JunkBondTrader besides, the verticality allowed in exploration with the broom flight has real promise if they implemented it well. That could be great.
Hello Falcon! I’ve worked at GameStop for about 4 months now and when a new AAA game comes out, we have “quizzes” for each one. More so we know what to tell customers, who makes it, when it comes out, etc. I’ve watch many of these before I was an employee at GameStop, but now I have even more joy watching it because I learn from you guys and spread the word. It helps my coworkers and I so much. Thank you Falcon and Gameranx, I’ve been watching your channel since I was in 6th grade, I’m a freshman in college now 😅
Thank you for not cancelling Hogwarts Legacy as other game media did (it is pointless, no matter the way you look at it). We appreciate that and value your excellent work even more!

Looks awesome, I can't wait. I will say I think the minimap would be more beneficial than a compass in this game. It makes sense in Elden ring since its mostly open, but with Hogwarts it seems like a lot of indoors so a Minimap makes more sense over a compass. I think it looks like a great game. I'm a bit glad I'm not going to be forced to do anything with time limits and can explore as I please.
I got something for you acknowledge it now 🎁🎁🎊🎉👆💝💝^^
Either the compass or the minimap - none of them work.
Nobody uses a compass anyway and the minimap steals your sight away from the things that are actually happening before you.
nah minimaps works for me, rather than opening a full map mid game back and forth. Instead, if the game use compass I rarely use it
@@Halo_Legend compasses work, minimaps are fine for me, can you not double task?
@@Halo_Legend I loved how Ghost of Tsushima found a unique way to guide players while making it fit into the lore and the world-building.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I wasn't going to buy this game. But after the crazies said you're transphobic if you buy it, I've preordered two copies. One for me and one for my friend who likes Harry Potter.
It's just gone too far bro they try to tell us what jokes are funny, what to buy, who to like, it's insanity. All while they look down on us from their moral high horse while wearing clown make up
Slytherin's aren't evil. They would tell you "There is no good or evil, there is only power and those too weak to seek it."
Uff , you dropped this 👑
I wish I was into Harry Potter. This game looks soo cool. Id like something like this for Star Wars. Being a padawan living and attending classes in the Jedi temple. The going on mission with your Master during the clone wars or something along those lines
I got something for you acknowledge it now 🎁🎁🎊🎉👆💝💝^^^
Maybe you would like it as a good open world. If it holds on its own, you may not need to be a fan of the franchise to enjoy the game.
Or a next-gen KotOR. That’d be awesome.
Give it a shot, you might like it since it’s based on a character you make and your story instead of playing through the Harry Potter story line, just think of it as a wizard game not a Harry Potter game🤣
Na
I'm really hoping for mod support on this. As has been the case with so many open-world RPGs by now, there is always something that the community can improve upon or add onto that resonates with most players, if given the chance to do so.
Things like expanded character creation and custom mounts, brooms, outfits and so on are what I think will likely be the more popular mods, if it does have support for it.
Otherwise, worst case scenario, community patches and bugfixes if some things happen to be super buggy or broken. (Looking at you, Bethesda.)
Just imagine the madness if there were Quidditch tournaments played online and it was really fun to score for your House/Team and able to taunt opponents or being one of those bludgers!
Wait for it
Would be pretty unfair because players can choose their house and some will be in the definite minority
@@PuurJarrett Create the Quidditch mechanic so that houses have different perks and people have to choose their house not just based on house preference but also perks and benefits. Because we don't have Quidditch yet I can't really come up with any ideas, but if they add a Quidditch system that enables houses to have certain perks or traits then population control could be self regulated, maybe even dynamic, changing over time, seasonal.
@@as7river but then it would stand apart from the main game and therefore be a different thing entirely right
As an HP fan this game is like dream come true. Can't wait 😍
Me too
So damn psyched
Awe maannn I'm so bummed there's no Quiditch and school system. The open world looks cool but I was hoping they'd go more in depth with the classes and actual castle, like secrets with the changing stairs room or the library. The first few movies focus heavily in the internal environment before branching out to wider regions and bigger social impact in the later films.
Hopefully Quiditch will be added in an expansion.
I'm going to wait a bit before buying this game just in case there's any issues on release. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Just seeing how far HP games have some from the philosophers stone I played on my potato 20 years ago is pretty exciting. This is something I always wanted from the franchise.
I remember playing Harry Potter on PS 1 when I was a kid and I got scared to fight the big spider lol what a day
As people should be doing. Especially if it start off like Callisto Protocol, and initial release of Cyberpunk which apparently people didn't learn that even a big and good reputation devs like CDPR can blunder, of course with publisher's influence. Fortunately, they did release patches quite fast for Callisto and it's running great now.
@@Vandy-- oh yeah! I remember that was pretty scary hahaha.
@@SchifferThe2nd 100%. Nothings guaranteed until you're actually sitting there trying to play the game. That's great they patched Callisto Protocol, not my cup of tea but I know a lot of people were super hyped and pre-purchased it.
With such an ambitious project like Hogwarts Legacy, there's a chance it's gonna need kinks smoothed after the initial release.
That's the sensible approach, sadly, too many people pre-order, which rewards devs that don't care about fixing games.
One thing I want to know is how many secrets there are (Not the exact amount, just whether there's a lot) because having the magical castle with barely any secrets would be a massive missed opportunity. Part of the old classic games was how many secrets there were and they were always exciting to find. If there isn't many, or theyre very predictable or repetitive, itll be a big shame.
I am so impressed with how much thought love and care was put into the development of this game. I need Avalanche to make more games like this. They should do LOTR Star Wars and more
I was told to not buy this game by the media, and journalists. So what did I do? I bought it. True story
Make up your own mind instead of giving so much weight to media opinions. Then read why the media is shit posting, and have a good laugh.
Based
I hope they make modding easy for this game. It looks like a great base for some incredible additions
Yes
The tone differences between youtube and twitter for this game is amazing
Man, this looks great. I think it would be awesome if the Triwizard Tournament happens in this game! Even if it doesn't this looks like it's going to be legendary.
I’d love access to Diagon Alley and Nocturne Alley, Godrick’s Hollow, and the Entire Ministry of Magic and Department of Mysteries.
They could make it open world by having a secret Entrance to the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade, and then Diagon alley and Godrick’s Hollow could simply be rooms in the department of Mysteries that mimic a possible future or the past version of those locations. And maybe have it flickers between the two. The department of mysteries could allow you to see prophecies of other characters, additional lore and stories, and all sorts of other strange rooms and such.
But wasn’t the last triwizard cup like 100 years before the one in Harry Potter or am I mistaken?
@@user-zr8iw1yc4e to be fair they could just say honorary tri wizard cup and it be no problem
Honestly looks like a good game. No bs just straight up a singleplayer hogwards experience.
I love the mini map I hate the compass it just doesn't give enough information when trying to find something on it. And it makes sense in Hogwarts Legacy cause we've seen magical maps before in the wizarding world. So can't wait to play this game 😀
Been watching gameranx for a few years now and it's crazy how the boys are constantly getting better at doing these vids/recording engaging talks, Falcon honestly sounds like a whole different man from earlier videos - way more energetic, sounding a whole lot more confident, and it might just be my perception but the man just sounds like he's overall way happier and comfortable than he used to, which makes him really enioyable to listen to. I hope that he is indeed a happy man, really appreciate him, Jake and everyone involved in the finest video games channel on this platform. Godspeed to all of you guys! (Hogwarts looks amazing btw, real excited to play it)
Agreed
People like you are the lowest of the low, all you've said here is that "you used to be crap". Just say you enjoyed the video, how hard is that? Do better.
@@_Super_Hans_ what a bizarre answer, "lowest of the low" man really?
I'd rather take a compact dense open world over an open world like the one in Forspoken: large but empty.
How far must I scroll before the salt flow?
Sound design sounds really good and impactful in the showcase. On hard modes especially gameplay should be a blast
That meter at the bottom doesn’t control how high you can go. They said in the video it’s your boost and when you’re low to the ground it doesn’t use up but when you’re up high it does so you can’t boost up high for very long.
They should update the hour glasses for each house depending on what people choose!
Only thing I would've wanted was starting at the beginning and playing through your whole student career and doing all the years. Excited to see potential DLC things they come up with
Same here. I wanna start out as a first year and each chapter can be told over a school year
Sounds totally lame and I'm glad you aren't a dev.
@Jarl Whiterun
"Lame" lmao are you 12?
Reminded me of WItcher3. Hogwarts looked like Kaer Morhem a bit
The combat system looks a lot like Ghost of Tsushima hopefully just as fun
im worried about the combat because i usually hate spellcaster types in rpg's and i really hated ghost of tsushima. if the combat isnt hitting the way it needs to, it could really cripple the entire experience
I'll be honest, this makes me miss the order of the Phoenix game. Yea, it was on wii, but my God just exploring the whole castle, magical.
It was on PSP and PC and PS3 and 360 I believe
Gonna buy it just to support the gaming community.
I feel like I've been waiting for this game my entire life. The devs have been so open also which give me good vibes.
Shush
This game looks pretty good from the little amount I’ve seen I really think the combat will make or break this game that’s also assuming that exploration is fun since it’s such an interesting world being Harry Potter and all
Pretty sure they're playing it safe with the combat like other Warner Bros games, it's the well established Arkham system just like Mad Max and Shadow of War for instance.
I really hope they add Diagon Alley in the future.

@@MrSinghisking24 diagonally*

@Falcon anyone who pre-orders the game, on any platform, gets a hippogriff mount. But you gotta pre order. An that's any version of the game pre ordered too. 👌
Also, figured I'd mention that you can breed the beasts. Ya it's like tomagachi.
I got something for you acknowledge it now 🎁🎁🎊🎉👆💝💝^^^^❤
cant you get that ingame? I thought the only thing locked is the thestral.
@Vivi Siow get what? The black onix hippogriff?
Maybe. I know we can breed but they didn't say how hard it would be to get a onix one bread. Which I imagine you'd hafta to do to get a none white one.
Either way, its a free mount for everyone to " start" the game out with just for pre ordering.
Falcon didn't mention that. So I figured I'd tell him.
The issues I see with the magic system is that it seems very unimaginative.
Like you should have basic spells like Petrificus Totalus, or Stupefy, or Expelliarmus, but they should be rather limited. You should have an auto-counter spell that you cast that negates low level spells shot at you for a short amount of time, and a manual counter spell that deflects all or a portion of damage dealt, reducing stagger where necessary, as base kit. But like that's just the beginning of the fight, in the main event, I want to see some fucking crazy shit like in the Voldemort v Dumbledore fight in Order of the Phoenix, or the Dumbledore v Credence in Secrets of Dumbledore. The beginning stuff should just be to get through all the newbies who don't know anything beyond the basic spells, or think that the basic spells should be the main repertoire.
But instead it looks like we're just getting red wispy attack, green wispy attack, oh look Wingardium Leviosa!, and back to yellow wispy attack...
This comment gets it. I feel kinda let down because there should be knowledge of spells and good utilization. Also, kinda curious as to how they’re gonna handle “killing” in this game. A lot of the fights (excluding high level wizards) ended with disarms/disables. In here, just looks like they fall over “dead” with each spell. I hope they get this right, cause this game could be a whole lot of fun
Upfront, honest devs, no microtransactions. These are good omens. Crossing my fingers for this one because it has a lot of room for growth/setting a market for more games like this.
I can't wait. 51 years old and I'm like a child waiting for christmas. GIMME GIMME GIMME!!! :D
Man I hope this game lives up to the way it’s showing.
I would love to be able to cast spells on the students and other npcs. It could even be harmless spells like levitating them, summoning them, freezing, etc. We would not even need to be able to hurt or damage them. It would be an easy mechanic to add considering it’s already in use on most animals.

Although you said male or female voice they named the options 1 and 2 with pitch. I was looking for any direct indicator of male/female specific indicators which from what I could see there wasn't. Looks like you are just creating a person of your choice which considering the recent cries of banning due to J.K should hopefully signal to those people that the game is not aligned to any alleged views. Looks good!!
If we’re gonna talk dlc I’m really rooting for an online separate entity. If the open world aspect doesn’t flop, and it’s rewarding with loot, and there’s a good rpg element with levels and combat. I see no reason why this game couldn’t be hosted on an online server. Maybe it’ll be better handled by a team that cares as opposed to Rockstar and the fumble we know as RDR2. Would just be nice to see something fresh; like an ESO Valhalla 🤷♂️
I was hoping the game would give you a personality quiz that would determine your house, but I suppose you can just go with your pottermore account if you want to be that immersed
Well there’s still a sorting process in game so there could one there or even when creating your character
If you have a Wizarding World account, you can link your accounts. Whatever is on your account will transition to the game. There is a sorting quiz on the Wizarding World website.
I love how stupid Google keeps showing me how people are boycotting this game and "everybody hates it" and it's so controversial. Yet it's the most pre-ordered game on PlayStation and it's a monster seller. So much for the boycott, nerds
The SMILE on my face right now. I'm getting the Switch version but it'll be worth the wait because I'll have something else to keep me preoccupied until then.
Keeping my fingers crossed the game is not a buggy mess on release
🤞
I'm stoked!! Can't wait to play this. Pre-ordered on my ps5.
Woo
Getting rid of quidditch is one thing, but they could at least include the "Original Sports Competitions" of the wizarding world that we saw in the Goblet of Fire. But who knows. Seems that they feel that the vast amount of opportunities for an individual to prove themselves through explorations and social trials compensates for activities that could have come from things like that.
I was gonna get this game before, but now that I've seen this, I'm definitely picking it up! Thanks Falcon!
I hope they add loads of mysterys and easter eggs in this one
I really hope they make quidditch a part of the dlc. Even if its not multiplayer it would be a great thing for replay value. Or if there was some kind of new quest that takes you out of hogwarts to london in the 1800s vs muggles that hate witchcraft
The fact this isn't released during the xmas season is a crime. It's such a Xmas vibe. Will feel weird playing this game in the spring.
Well at least you can enjoy the cozy comfort of the game, then go outside and take a nice Spring walk through nature, and then back inside and enjoy the game, and maybe take a walk at night. During the weekends at least. That's a fun way to enjoy games during the warmer months imo.
I hope taking care of the magical beasts will be like KH 3D's dream eaters' daycare situation and we'd get perks by building a relationship with them.. That would be awesome!
you can name then, feed them play with them to build trust and make them feel comfirtable and that benefits you by them providing you with beast materials you can use to craft so it has benefits :)

Hey Game Journalists tend to be best marketers out there just as Don Matrick is a great PS4 salesman.
Really looking forward to this one, but also cautiously optimistic about it, something about the way most of the player characters they've shown just look weird to me, like the graphical quality of them doesn't match up with the rest of the game, I don't really know how to explain it. Hope it's good, and hope it comes to Gamepass on PC. Till then I'll probably wait to hear what people are saying before picking it up.

Super excited about this. For the first of the year I was looking forward to Forspoken and this. Forspoken has been a disappointment so I am hoping this will be a hit, especially with how big an HP fan I am.
From the get go Forspoken looked like it was being made by Twitter for twiter
@@bombomos disagree. It looked really promising when it was first revealed. The more they showed the less interesting it looked though
Considering you said the game has multiple endings, I do hope the game let's you continue after the ending. Some games, such as New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, Dying Light, Bioshock, most other story focused games, they end after the main quest is finished. Either because your home world is destroyed, important characters die, or you as a character change inreversably. I hope that is not the case. Most games I enjoy more when there's some post game content to play with. DLC quests, tournaments, collectables, respawning enemies, events with unique rewards, stuff that keeps you coming back.
Also hope there will be a minigame within the game. What I mean with that is a minigame similar to Gwent in The Witcher. Some kind of game you can play with/against other characters, collect cards to improve your deck, play tournaments, something to do after or besides the main quest.
It would've been real cooler if they would've gave the player a personality test where the result picks what house you're in

I'm hoping that there are a series of events that take place before the sorting. And in those events, we make choices that determine which house the hat will sort us. Of course we would still have the option to override that decision. Sorta like how in Fallout New Vegas, you get asked a series of questions by the doc and based on those choices is how your skill points are spent, but you can reset them to your preferences if you so choose.
It's a shame about the Quidditch. Would be a great opportunity to add pvp to the game in a pretty different (in relation to the story gameplay) way and a secondary questline
"open world" game, but also a Single player game experience. Its not MMO (which I wish it was at least play with 3 other friends but I'm still happy with what we have been shown so far)
So there is no point to have something to PvP in the game right now.
@The Rotten💯 I would have to disagree. in the singleplayer campaign they could have included a big level where you play a quidditch game, some of it scripted and some actual playing with NPCs. Then they could have easily made an all out pvp version of that level.
I've never been into Harry Potter stuff but I think I'll be picking this up.

Uhhh bro u living under a rock or what, This game has atleast 100 Merlin puzzles, not to mention the Dev's already confirmed that there will be a lot of hidden chambers, passageways and also a lot of dungeons. As for the combat so it only "seems" easy. In the hands on preview for this game , the gamers said they were struggling even on normal mode.
@@prosperinetears And BTS of sate of play, the Dev's also mentions secret passageways and chambers.
I’m kind of glad they’re not going with a school sim/lessons system. I wouldn’t have been against it and kind of assumed that’s what it’d be, but wasn’t sure how they’d reconcile that with all the open world adventuring so I respect the decision to just not even attempt it and make lessons quest-based instead.
Considering how substantial some expansions can change things up. If the game is loved enough i wouldnt be suprised if they come out with a expabsion that makes the game more like a sim. Puts you in 6th year. Lets you develop relationships. More options for expansion. Would be cool
Wow this list is really helpful thanks Falcon. I loved the Harry Potter Franchise so I'll definitely get this game the moment it releases on PSN
🤝🦅

Cant wait for the "Before You Buy". You've all saved me alot of money with past ones
I got something for you acknowledge it now 🎁🎁🎊🎉👆💝💝^^^^^❤
Buy this game.

@@jackroyaltea5034 Probably will. Just have to be EXTREMELY careful with pre ordering with how games are nowadays.
But this one does look good
Only thing that is disappointing me is it’s really cool they included an option to use dark magic, but at the same time if you’re going to have to at then you’d think that would have big impacts on the story. Everything they’ve shown and said gives off the impression though that’s it’s purely gameplay and doesn’t affect the story at all if you chose to use the unforgivable curses. I hope I’m wrong about that, but that’s the vibe I get.
I've have not been this excited since I was a kid. Seriously, I'm just looking forward to walking around Hogwarts and making horcrux's.

I'm actually pretty excited about this. glad they are not over selling it
Idk why but one of my biggest gaming pet peeves is when people say a games combat system "looks like arkham" simply bc there's some sort of counter attack in the game. Obviously I haven't played the game yet but nothing about the combat looks like arkham....
After watching this I feel like I’ve gone from a Muggle to Hermoine Granger’s knowledge level 🤓
I honestly couldn’t be more excited for this game! preordered the deluxe edition so i’ll be playing on the 7th, I imagine i’ll sink tons of hours in this game
I took 2 days off leading into my 2 days off so I got 4 days to really dive in on the 7th 😭
@@sensaysavNOCS Very nice!! im trying to work extra this week to clear my schedule a bit to really sink my teeth into it next week. Which house are you? 🐍✌🏽
