I would have enjoyed that movie
Gaming Hogwarts Legacy (PS5/PC/Switch/Xbox)

- Start date
But it’s the recommended specs rather than the minimum. They’re always higher?I'll probably get it anyway since my girl is a massive nerd, just didn't realize I'll have to give her my 3070 as well
I'd say yes. A 1080TI, which they quote, is (to simplify things) as fast as a 3060 card just without the DLSS capabilities. Most AAA games to come out this year were much less resource intensive. For comparison, Cyberpunk runs with 70+ fps on mixed mid-high settings; Dying Light 2 with 70 fps on high. Both games with no upscaling. Plague Tale Requiem runs with 60ish fps on 1440p Ultra settings + FSR.
I agree that there have been several generations of graphics cards, but there is no way the developers were making it with the 40 series in mind. 30 series is what they used the benchmarking and (I'm speculating here) the performance is not where is should be, at least upon release.
Yeah I was planning to buy it but I'll have to fork out extra to upgrade graphics. Can't bother with that so will buy it in a couple years when I've upgraded.
Any of you nerds buying it?
I’m in two minds about it. I feel a bit old for magic and Harry Potter and you know this game will be serious pg to appeal to younger audiences but it’d be also cool to see if you can bang the slag of Hogsmead and then run her over with your dragon to get your gold coins back.
Anyway, here’s the trailer

No but it's going to make an excellent present for other half
I'll be buying it. A Harry Potter RPG has been near the top of my wishlist for over a decade.
Always hated Harry Potter, thought it was Lotr for nerds. Turns out it's Lotr for transphobic, racist nerds. I'm out.
Wot
Always wait for reviews before buying and I don't mean paid reviews but normal gamers.
Had it pre ordered for ages. Pumped for it. Needed a game like this for years.
It is? Feck, back to the CE forum!Where have you been? Lotr is lotr for transphobic, racist nerds.
From a sane person's view, this sounds pretty bitter.
Sane people are boring.
Scared to buy this in advance - does anyone know what the in game purchases are going to be like?
I've been eyeballing this for over two years. I will definitely be buying this, albeit just for the Harry Potter vibe. Running around Hogwarts will be awesome at teh minimum. Having said that, I did think that the latest gameplay trailers have looked pretty basic. Not too impressed with what I've seen, if you take away the HP layer.
Yes, exactly this. I'm looking forward to this game, particularly to using the Unforgivable Curses because I'm an absolute sociopath - but no purchase sight unseen.
That's my worry too, that it'll be a bog-standard bland open world game (see the very recent Forspoken) with a Harry Potter filter on top.
I’m constantly in two minds with this. Really want it for the Harry Potter world but then really dubious it will be good due to the developer who have smash hits like Cars 3: Driven to win.
Pre-ordered this. Only game I will ever pre-order to be honest as well. I doubt the game will be outstanding in any regard, might be quite run of the mill infact, but it's HP world, so might as well.
Main issue is the studio has never made a game on this scale before. Everybody has to start somewhere, though. From what they've shown, it looks good. Waiting on reviews before I buy.
The Disney Infinity games are huge in scope and very well made to be fair. But the gameplay aspect of this one still leaves me feeling it might not be what people want it to be.
Easy valentines present for the missus though!
I'll wait to see what people say then probably buy it later that day unless it's pants. Zero point preordering this kind of thing these days
Will probably pick it up but not straight away on release. Not paying full whack for games I rarely have time to play anymore.
Can’t wait for this. Pre ordered the deluxe edition. I don’t think it will be perfect by any means. But the world and graphics look pretty special.
My concern is that it’s going to need to be massively story driven to support the gameplay otherwise it’ll be trash.
Sadly there’s only so much you can do with the combat in this genre.
My copy from Hit came today, gonna give it a go in a bit.
Very early, be sure to post your thoughts.
JK's radical TERF nonsense has put me off a bit but I was a massive Potterhead back in the day so cannot wait to play this. Strolling around Hogwarts would be amazing. If this ends up sucking I'll be so disappointed.
Isnt the release date in 5 days?
How does the 72 hours early access work if you buy the deluxe edition? It unlocks three days early, or it means something else?
It unlocks early. 7th Feb.
Thanks
Early impressions are it is very fun. I spent around 2 hours just running around the castle last night unlocking lore and exploring as it is absolutely massive. The world map looks sizable as well, though I haven't ventured outside of Hogwarts itself yet.
The graphics are fine. Not bad, but nothing special. Probably due to it being a cross-gen release. There are 5 graphics modes though which is nice to see: Fidelity, fidelity w/ ray tracing, performance, balanced; and high refresh rate. The last two require that you have a 120hz TV though, so I think the balanced is going for 40fps. Most of the modes also let you unlock the frame rate which will be good if your TV supports VRR.
I bought the deluxe edition which includes 3 day early access. It was due to arrive on Tuesday - so 4 days early.
Reviews are smashing it. In a positively good way!

Oh crap, sorry!
As an aside, I've only read IGN which gave it a 9. I will say their review doesn't read like a 9 at all - multiple issues on PS5 - but I'm still kinda hyped.
Awesome reviews. I was slightly interested but am now very interested.
Yeah, this is why reviews aren't reliable. I seem to recall Cyberpunk got very positive reviews from Journalists too and we all know what a mess that was on release and for the next few months. Journalist reviews became redundant a decade a go.
If gamer reaction is positive then you get excited and I don't mean the Harry Potter nerds that will give it a 10/10 no matter what but actual gamers.
