Couldn’t even give us a release date….fuckin blue balled the shit outta me with that “Holiday 2022” tag…..

Game looking real mid. Jack of all trades master of none. Woulda been cool 5 years ago, 2022 everything looks outdated. Gameplay wise not even graphically.

Why does it have to do anything differently? Why can't it just be a competent and fun open world game set in the Harry Potter universe (or is the proper term Wizarding World - I have no idea)?

It doesn't look bad but...

Every time they showed me new mechanics, I got a strong feeling every part of it will be heavy monetize. Its Portkey games afterall.

That looks way better than expected. Lip sync and facial animations are ... not final I hope. Other than that it looks like a very atmospheric adventure game that captures the fantasy of the Harry Potter series better than any other game of the franchise.

Looking forward to it

I thought it looked intriguing and well made. Visuals were great overall. I'm not sure if the fights are fun to play though. We'll see.

Graphically, Hogwarts Legacy looks decent (nothing ground breaking). As for gameplay, I need to see more.

For now, I'm curious...

Looks pretty cool and surprisingly in depth so far. I only wonder if you can choose to be good or evil (looked like it in the end with the dungeons) and also if there'll be Quidditch.

This looks really fun. I know people like to rag on State of Plays, but I thought this one was GREAT! It really covered so much of what you can do in the game, and it looks like there is a lot to but didn't give away a ton of spoilers.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan so I'm really looking forward to this game.
 
really wish the art direction was more in line with this concept art lol. i don't know, the game just looks sorta sterile to me and lacking style. maybe it's a problem with the look of the movies influencing it?

all said, i'm still sold. it looks like this could be really cool.

God that developer chick looked like she was angry and on the verge of crying trying not to mention JK rowling. No one is mentioning the person that created this fucking universe. God fuck these dumb woke mother fuckers.

The mods are completely destroying that place.

Remember I said this a long time ago, resetera was going to implode on this like they did Cyberpunk. Delicious to see.

It doesn't for you, which is why it is what it is. As someone who is exhausted of these kind of games it doesn't speak to me. It looks like what i expected, pretty uninspired.

Wow, that looks noticeably better... I wonder if that was pre-rendered because the animations and physics look really good.
almost assuredly, likely built by one of those companies who will make you a prerendered game demo to use for direction and early proposals/recruitment/vision development. I mean its whole soundtrack is just Fantastic Beast trailer cuts shoe horned into that video.

I also had a bad feeling when they state that they're doing "their take" on Hogwarts. Kinda worry.

The game is being made by AVALANCHE. Of Mad Max and theHunter fame. Portkey handle the Wizarding World so of course they get a credit, but this is clearly AVALANCHE's project.

Different Avalanche. This is being made by Avalanche of Disney Infinity fame.

Avalanche Studios = Mad Max, Just Cause
Avalanche Software = Disney Infinity

. Makes me very worried as while their games are FUN, they are also Janky and cheap as all hell feeling. I've yet to play an Avalanche game that controlled well. Just Cause makes me so frustrated with its horrid controls and low budget jank everywhere.

You still didn't give me a reason to not worry about monetization. And dearly hope I'm wrong, it looks pretty cool. But I'm cautious.
