Video Footage: AAA Harry Potter game by Avalanche Software leaked ( video taken down by WB )
- Thread starter Chaserjoey
- Start date
I'm not saying I like or even want crossgen games, I'm just saying it will obviously happen for the first few years of next gen
They will just strip some things from the last gen versions if needs be
Remember that the PS3/360 versions of Shadow of Mordor didn't have the nemesis system
People complaining this doesnt look perfect when none of this was ever meant to be seen by the public. For early footage it's actually excellent
Some of you would have meltdowns if you saw what early footage of what some of the most impressive games released looks like even a year before launch

And a lot of people wondered why CDPR were so hesitant in showing the public the E3 demo of Cyberpunk 2020.
People always hints that they will use the new AMD zen cores
And that alone would be miles better than what we have today with the ps4/xbox
You're telling me full games aren't made via level editors????
Is this console or mobile?
Or one of those multiplat jobs where it's on every system and device imaginable?

Everything I'd imagine
lmao, hardly
Why this weird choice?
Anyway. What engine is this? Is this UE4? It didn't look that for me. maybe cus it was off-screen footage.
Edit: Oh probably not Rocksteady? Yeah! I think Rocksteady should stick to making awesome super-hero games, moslty some mature ones.
Yeah. I made an edit. I didn't know that it may be Another studio. Rocksteady would surely stick to UE anyway.

Actually didn't expect that one part with the goblin impalement death. These kid wizards don't mess around.
This is not made by Avalanche Studios, it's made by Avalanche Software.
Yes, they're not one and the same or even branches of one another, Avalanche Studios did Just Cause/Mad Max/Rage 2 and Avalanche Software did.... Disney Infinity and... Cars 2 and 3.
Looking at how this looks like and going by what Benji said, it seems to be an UE4 game.
The way I see it, WB should want consumers to buy next gen consoles. If Ps5 and Xbox Two are the consoles that WB plans to release content on going forward, then they should make their best effort to make those userbases grow as quickly as possible, that means starting at launch
I don't see what being first party has to do with this, I don't think I or anyone ever said this will or should be a Ps5 exclusive; it should release on Ps5, Xbox2, and PC together.
I didn't play Shadow of Mordor so I don't know what you're talking about. Even if it was just some system cut out from the last gen versions of the game, they were still essentially the same game just with worse graphics
I actually hope it makes it into the game but with like a SEVERE side effect where it drains your character of power for an extended period of time to be able to use it.
The main thing I want is there to be some level of player choice. Like I want there to be some really cool tricks and combos to be able to mix and match abilities and/or tools at your disposal to solve scenarios in different manners.
Like take this for example:
You need to get a specific banned root to create a powerful potion that does some crazy shit like bring back someone from the dead momentarily and the easiest way to get it is from the potions cabinet, but the door is locked and only the Potions Professor has the key.
> Option 1: Steal Key from Professor
- Take hair from Professor, knock Professor out and create Polyjuice Potion
- Turn into Professor, use key to steal root
- Deal with consequence of Professor digging into root disappearance and being knocked out
- Follow the Professor's schedule and watch when he goes to open the cabinet
- Use the Invisibility Cloak to sneak into the cabinet with the Professor and steal root
- Deal with consequences if you take too long getting root and get locked in cabinet/professor catches you in cabinet
- If you manage become good at Transfiguration and learn how to become an Animagus, turn into a mouse to sneak into the cabinet and sneak out the herb
- Deal with the consequence of getting caught
- If you decide to go the Alchmeist route and dig deep into herbology, you can create this root using magic and resource stacking
- Because the root is banned, the Herbology Professor may catch on to what you're trying to accomplish and you will have to deal with those consequences, so you have to be smart about how you acquire certain items to create the root.
- Do enough research in either Herbology or Geography and you can figure out where the root grows naturally instead of having to steal/make it.
- You have to find a way to sneak the contraband into your dorm using something like a Vanishing Cabinet or finding secret passages via Marauder's Map.
The studio that did Disney Infinity. WB bought them when Disney announced it was stopping publishing games.
Avalanche was hiring for people with UE4 experience, so presumably that's the engine this project is using.
Given Warner removed the original video it's basically confirmed to be real.
Going to disagree. A big budget Harry Potter game that explore more of the world and teaches you more magic than we saw in the films with no constraints being tied to them would have some big appeal. There's plenty of untapped potential with this franchise when it comes to gaming that we've yet to see.
If it doesn't really feature Harry, just drop the HP name.
Everyone would spread the word on the game anyway, much like what happened with Fantastic Beasts.
Seems like it's about magic being born or something, since it's RPG and you create your own wizard.
I say change it to - "The Chosen Wand"
meheheh
In a perfect world but the Harry Potter branding is too strong.
Nothing in Avalanche's repertoire inspires absolute confidence. Oh well, another licensed movie game another potential trash (or perhaps treasure). I am not holding my breath.
Fantastic Beasts doesn't have Harry Potter in the branding. I say feature Hogwarts in the name and that is strong enough.
You know that not everyone can afford a new console at launch, right ? It's also for that reason that plenty of third parties will do cross gen games for the first year (at least) of the PS5 and Xbox 2. The way you're acting like the game can't be good if it doesn't run on next gen only is off putting.
The game will be held back if it's crossgen, and I don't care if i come off as off putting with that opinion because it's simply how I feel
All I want is some good atmospheric downtime where you can explore freely and enjoy some nice ambient Harry Potter-esque music. Especially such as exploring Hogwarts at night. Watching the paintings move, seeing the occasional ghost, exploring into the dark corners of the castle... That's all I want.
