That's what I love about Skyrim. Weird bugs can just be magic. Minecraft too, strange terrain is just some historical effect from something. You can make stories to explain weird stuff
Very impressed Warner is giving people early access a good few weeks before launch, and not blocking reviews until the day before release, means they must be confident in their product, a good sign to me anyway. And it looks like it might be a fun version of hogwarts to get stomping round!
@@benrake5272 True, but the marauders map was only made by a group of students. I'm sure a product of a similar magic isn't that unrealistic. One that only shows the path you want to take seems pretty plausible I think.

I loved that the devs took Ron’s request during the Chamber of Secrets film seriously. They had you follow butterflies into the forbidden forrest instead of spiders. Ron would be happy. 😂
@Haste It's going to be extra comfy since a lot of the game is based off of the visuals of the film, but with extra flourishes and additions from all the lore. I plan on smoking some bud and just wandering around for hours before actually doing any real story beats. Can't wait.
I was feeling on the fence about this game, but just the combat looks so fluid and satisfying. And the castle looks like there’s a lot of detail and things to do in it. I’m definitely more interested now
@Hugh My guy I understand that GTA 5 is good and rdr2 is even better but this game is also good(not on rockstar level but you know) so stop spreading hate for no reason
@Sycte they're nothing alike so I'd say it's real hard to compare them. Gta can be 5/5 and this could also be 5/5 and they would in no way be competing with eachother
Def looks impressive. When I first heard of the game, I thought it'd be gimmicky to capture the franchise's strong following. But it clearly has a nice story telling aspect as well as some rich gameplay features.
This actually looks a lot better then I expected. I wasn’t interested at all before but seeing some gameplay this looks a lot better then I thought and might give the game a shot when it comes out
Wow this actually looks so cool. Thanks for showing the like day to day footage of just runnin around and explorin. Helps give a good feel to what to expect. And damn it looks awesome, very lived in.
May I suggest picking up the PCSX2 emulator to play the first 3 ? Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban on PS2 are fantastic and very similar to this.
I'm not into PotterVerse at all, but this looks great. Glad the fans finally have a decent game to play. Those ripple effects and the scale of everything is defiantly next gen
I really hope that forest part with the centaur isnt just linear like that.. Like is it open world or "open world" where there is just roads like that and you cant get off them
Wow this game really looks insane, it takes me back in time when I first played harry potter and the philosopher’s stone on ps1. 22 years later looking at this beautiful crafted game its a shock!. Cant wait!!

@@ElevenEightNate bro I'm not saying that will put me off from playing a game, why are you offended lol. I was just pointing out how people say "this looks incredible" because it's not true for the graphics, only gameplay

I'm sorry to hear about your cat, Jack. My dog that I had for 15 years died earlier this month, so I know how hard it must've been for you. I'm glad that you're keeping him in your memory.
The only thing I wish they did so far was for the game to start you out as a first year student and progress through your years as you play and complete the story
It's only occurring to me that this is going to be wild once PC modders get a hold of this game. Someone's got to make an Animagus mod so I can fly around Hogwarts as a dragon.
The game looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm surprised it runs as well as it does with how it looks, all the particle effects, and the environmental stuff going on at the same time.
As a MASSIVE harry potter fan, I must say I am disappointed by the tedious looking combat but have extremely high hopes for how detailed and immersive this world is looking. Bravo Warner Bros, you've done it again. Thanks JK for bringing this beautiful world to life through video games. Again, Bravo to the devs and everyone who spent the past 5 years putting their blood, sweat and tears into this game.
Goddamn Jack I need to see more of this. Can't wait for it to come out I grew up with the books and always dreamed theyd make a really good game. Looks like this might be it
Something i noticed during your streams and again in this video is how well done those paintings are, its a combination of 3d and 2d that's literally better then the movies did it. Nothing but great respect for whoever was in charge of those. Its details like this that show that the people behind the game really do care for the franchise & its not the usual cash grab like we get for most movies/franchises. This game deserves all the praise its getting, (pointy) hats off to Avalanche Software! With all the half assed buggy jank games releasing these days this game better get showered in awards tbfh.
Never watched the Harry Potter films but seeing this gameplay makes me want to get up to scratch with the world, going to buy this, looks awesome fairplay!
I had a white and "ginger" tabby cat too that I raised from a kitten; he was awesome I'd throw the wrappers from my food out in the hallway and he'd bring it right back for me to throw for him again like we were playing "Fetch." I miss Punk'n, we don't know what happened to him or where he ended up.
The great thing about this game is if there's any bugs the devs can just say it's magic
and the cyberpunk devs can just say their implants are glitching!! KEKW
"A wizard did it"
That's what I love about Skyrim. Weird bugs can just be magic. Minecraft too, strange terrain is just some historical effect from something. You can make stories to explain weird stuff
