You're actually not allowed to post about or even mention it on era

The game itself allows you to refer to yourself as a witch or wizard regardless of sex...kind of is in the game too.
IGN's "Unfortunately it's all happening at the exact moment the world is reconsidering their life long ties to one of the greatest story ever told.."
When did such a minority become "the world"
Standard CYA ( Cover Your Ass) template from IGN. Can’t be helped. They want to cover the game, but can’t seem too enthusiastic about it so they don’t get canceled.

Gotta wait til July, I am sure. Theres no point in showing a heavily compromised version in January for a July release port.

apparently on 2023.02.07

Yeah, it would have to be before the early access starts, otherwise no point in reviews if public is already playing the full game.

They have confirmed it will not be in the game.

Apparently they worked on it for a year early on and decided against it. Just an issue of spending a lot of time and resources on that at the expense of other things. But who knows, maybe they could give it another go with DLC development.

Anyone showing the awful inventory screen with the gear grind that leaked? Or is that not allowed in this preview?
Ah ign said they weren’t allowed to show potions class, which they briefly already shown and do have real world timers on them… odd they couldn’t show it.

Quitage is what you’re full of you filthy Muggle, it’s Quidditch.

If we're talking about the same screen, it was confirmed to be from a much earlier build, as the UI has since then been dramatically altered. But that's normal to happen in development. UI polish goes right to the last minute.

Something Ken Levine could never do!
Although knowing him the devs would probably have it working well then he would cut it anyway!

Only next gen and PC versions are being released next month.

I can easily see "implementing Quidditch" to be like a total rabbit hole, where it's just way more work and way more complicated. Because if you put it in the game, you've gotta go all the way and really make it a full mode within the game. No one would be happy if it was just one or two story missions or side missions. They'd want full-on Quidditch Cup

Guessing quidditch and underwater are saved for the sequel.

I'm going to stay spiker free but damn if the impressions aren't exactly what I'd hope for minus triggered woke IGN.
We only have time for fun here and that means this potentially good game coming our way.

All I've watched have said PS5 was the only platform available.

Yeah as cool as quidditch was in the books. The rules didn't make any sense. Not to mention having to program all that shit it would probably be more complex than your yearly sports game

i think alot of features will be kept for the sequel if this one is gonna be a hit
is it just me or did they fix the lifeless zombie npcs ? they seem more active and have actual conversations with eachother

Why could that not be true on PS5? Being able to very rapidly load new data during fast traversal is exactly a thing the SSD makes possible that wouldn't have been on last gen consoles (or Switch...).
That still doesn't mean the console has infinite power to render everything all the way to the horizon all at once though, but I guess they have good LOD transitions.

I hope there isn't in my Harry Potter game.

I noticed that too, in the first gameplay showcase. The animation on the NPCs looked pretty rough.

Sorry to break it to you, but Harry isn't actually in this game.
There is a spell that highlights things for you to search, for quests and loot.

With the character creator I've seen, he might as well be.

Combat looks like it would getting boring really fast

they can go ahead and save underwater for never. especially a Harry Potter game. Even with developers that have been trying to make water levels fun for 35 years, it's still not really been figured out yet. It's always going to be slow and clunky. And outside of the second task in the Goblet of Fire, is there really any basis for underwater wand-based actions? I know they've put a lot of effort into matching up trying to balance a game that is always fun to play as close as they can with the source material. But at the end of the day, the game needs to be fun to play, first and foremost.

those losers will be buying the game anyway, this is all performative nonsense for twitter likes an tiktok follows.
I've seen the twitch community are all having "ethics debates" about it too, it's just people craving attention.
On topic though the game seems right up my alley (and i'm barely a harry potter fan outside of read the books and watched the movies and overall thought it was fine)
im also not thinking this is gonna be a GOTY game or life changing but if it can distract me for a week or two and has some good secrets i am way in

Part of a marketing deal makes sure that it's the only platform available for previews and review code.

Could you link me some of the performance mode videos? Haven’t been able to find it.

Its far less than 1% . Its so low in comparison to normal people. It could be margin of error.
