1.6 million views in one day...this game will sell if it gets anything close to decent reviews. Looks like the pace will be quite slow, which I do not mind. I am looking forward to the release. Bought a console to run this and Starfield yesterday

Happy Father's Day everyone. Congratulations to all father watchers.

Happy Father's Day everyone

Funny, here we have that in June.

Seems like it's celebrated 13th of November only in Nordic countries except for Denmark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father's_Day

Oh well, whatever...

Interesting to see how they distributed that. There's a strong preference for the 3rd week of June, probably the worst for students in the middle of exams.

Even though I'm not a fan of the books or films, this seems oddly compelling to me. Possibly because some of Rowland's more obnoxious characters are not in it?
Anyway, while the setting is beautifully and impressively recreated, what happened to the shadows? The lighting is so mellow and bland, it really distracts from the veracity of the game world.

Yep Fathers Day is Sunday, June 18th in the States.

Anyway here are some shorter videos of the live-stream.

Hogwarts Legacy - Character Creator Gameplay Overview

Hogwarts Legacy held a livestream where they showed off a bunch of brand new gameplay. In this video, the developers run through the fairly expansive character creator you'll get to play with when first booting up the game.

Not really a Harry Potter fan but this does look like it could be a good game. If reviews are decent, I'd likely try it. For me too, I think the world is kinda cool; just wasn't too fond of the books or movies (I only read the first book - which I thought was pretty poorly written, and I found the films to be so-so).

 

[Lakorus]

Now at almost 2.1 mio. views at YouTube. It amazes me that the franchise is still going that strong as the books and movies are quite old by now. The last movie was in 2011.
But still you can find whole stores completely dedicated to Harry Potter - merchandise. And my cousin is celebrating her birthday with a Potter - theme...

It doesn't look like anything special to me, but this IP is almost like Star Wars in terms of popularity. Just having the name on it is going to sell some copies.

This looks indeed nice.
However I don't feel like playing an RPG with a child or teenager as a protagonist.

indeed, same here.

It's a funny thing, I don't really care about the Potter characters at all.
But the setting I do find truly interesting - so in essence, the game could really be for me.

And, would you look at that, the game actually doesn't look terrible.

I really like the HP movies 1-8, but I doubt the game will be my bag. If it was my bag then I'd be all over it.

Too me it looks nice visually, aside from the somewhat stilted facial animations. But the gameplay seems very rigid and a bit rough. I'll most likely try it out, but I have a feeling I'll lose steam throughout playing it. We'll see.

It looks like a much improved version of all the old HP games from the 2000s, which were 3rd person adventure games.

I played the 1st one and enjoyed it as far as I could a 3rd person adventure, but, ultimately, that format isn't my bag.

Going RPG with that kind of style reminds me a lot of the Fable series, which many loved but, again, just wasn't my bag.

I can't see why the many fans of 3rd person adventures and RPGs wouldn't find a lot of fun with it.
