Hogwarts Legacy

[Silent-Runner]

Hm, no talk about this one at all or is the search function acting up

This could be a good one, if they don't mess it up, of course. Multi platform release is always a hit 'n miss.

We're too woke around these parts to talk about anything related to J.K "Literally Hitler" Rowling.

[DeathKnight]

Sony has been really pushing this since they've got the advertising rights. We'll see how it turns out.

[Lazy8s]

Those screenshots are gorgeous. I’ll wait for user feedback before buying but it does look good

[Tyr-Sog]

Looks good!

Comments about the author's political & social views should be taken to P&R. Not really appropriate for this forum. Thanks.

[clerick]

Hope it's good! When I was a kid I always wanted to play such a HP game, not sure if it still applies now but will likely give it a go.

[Drexion]

Mangler was obviously being sarcastic.

This game is probably going to be very successful seeing as there exists a very large HP fanbase who never got treated with a really high production quality game in this universe.

Back when the first few movies came out, 3D videogames were still in their "low poly" stage, so the game devs back then couldn't create the kind of characters/environments worthy of a blockbuster franchise.

Now the sky's the limit so HP fans must be really looking forward to the final product, and even non HP fans will be curious to see how this turns out.

[zizbuka]

I remember playing the Chamber of Secrets, or whatever it was called on GameCube. Good fun, would enjoy another similar.

[Dungeoncrawler]

Delayed until Feb 2023.

...we need a little more time to deliver the best possible game experience.

They should sell bumper stickers for this shiat

[DeathKnight]

All these delays to 2023 have become a real joke, lol

The first half of 2023 is just way too stacked, and it keeps piling on as the year progresses. At this point a lot of games are going to be negatively impacted due to an overcrowded release schedule. I really wish all these developers would get their **** together. Very few have legit excuses anymore.

[Silent-Runner]

oh well, not that much of a surprise, still a bummer but whatever

[Nunz]

I'm horny for this game. Delay it all you want; don't want another Cyberpunk experience.

2022 been a dry year for gaming.

[nutcrackr]

2022 in gaming is all about pushing games into 2023.

It's also aboot playing backlogged games from 2013.

If there is anything positive, it is this.

[DeathKnight]

Against my better judgement I preordered the deluxe edition for a little under $60 from Greenmangaming. Got Steam keys instantly for the game and the preorder bonus. The deluxe version also grants 72 hours early access on Feb 7th. Unfortunately there will be no preload for PC, and release time is 1PM EST on Steam.

Feedback from people playing it early has been pretty positive, so we'll see how it goes.

[DeathKnight]

Reviews are rolling in. Looks like it's good

[theshadowcult]

Fextralife are streaming it on twitch right now.

[DeathKnight]

Well, looks like WB did wind up enabling preload.

69.7GB download

[KAC]

Anyone pumping this?

[Silent-Runner]

Like it so far, reminds me a lot of Horizon (in a good way), minor stuttering while loading new locations. Voiceacting (german) is great

[KAC]

Horizon seems high praise. Will bone if I have time. These days very busy. Haven't even finished Dead Space yet

[Silent-Runner]

well, it's mostly open world, quests are scattered all around. Some small "riddles" here and there, loot lying around, random mobs to smack, some crafting. If the story can hold up to stuff like Horizon, i dunno yet. But it's looking great (most of the time). Not exactly breathtaking, but good enough. I also think they did the right thing with changing it from multiplayer to single player, the spell system alone would've been a nightmare in multiplayer.

[Silent-Runner]

[azalea]

seems a lot bigger than I was expecting, which is a good thing. runs pretty well with medium RTGI (other settings all Ultra), on a 2080 Ti at 1440P (relatively - we're talking 70 fps here, but not too stuttery). Also, has item transmog out of the gate, which is always a good thing. as a Cyberpunk fan, i hate hats and this game is no exception. gaining added stats with non of the stupid look, big plus.

[DeathKnight]

Yeah, it's good to see developers learn from others and include this stuff from the get-go instead of trying to add it in later.

Looks like people are already fixing and changing things graphically using INI edits. In this case to make the RT look better.

Am I the only one who reads this as hog fart legacy?

[theshadowcult]

yes, yes you are.

[Mangler]

Is this game like stray or is it actually good even if you're not a harry pottard?

[Silent-Runner]

Stray was good in its own way. And why would you want to play a Harry Potter game if you're not interested in the franchise itself?

Well, if the game in question is an excellent game in a genre that I like I would play it even if I did not really care about the franchise.

But if this is one of those only fans game then it is a pass for me.

[DeathKnight]

It's a good game regardless of it being Harry Potter. Obviously those who are into Harry Potter will get more out of it though. Maybe wait for a sale or something.

the easiest way to determine it would be to watch some vids. Personally (!) i like it so far, and no, i'm not a potterhead at all, although i've read the books. I also wouldn't say it's a fans only game, but hey, what do i know.

[KAC]

Harry’s potty and hog farts. Wtf this is this?

[azalea]

I totally lied about it not being stuttery. Goes from 80 to 20 fps at times, then back up, even with the GPU temp only around 70 degrees (so not thermal throttling).

[DeathKnight]

Supposedly there's a "day one" patch incoming since the game officially releases today. We'll see if it addresses any of the performance and stutter issues.

[Mangler]

Going by the benchmarks, the game seems to need 12GB+ of VRAM at higher resolutions with RT enabled.
