Looks simultaneously like a labor of love and a corporate commissioned product. I'm hoping there's gonna be more NPC life, even if it's just conversation blurbs you hear as you walk by them. Otherwise the school will feel dead. Not really a HP fan but I'll give this a go, fantasy open worlds are hard to do right.
and not a graphics whore but this does looks downgraded from earlier videos...

The lighting is probably the way it is to account for the switch

This looking like a Ubisoft style Harry Potter game. I’d rather them go the Eden ring route , remove the icons and let it explore naturally. But it’s looking like it’ll be a strong 7-8 kind of game. Deff risk adverse af.

Funny I read this while the character walk in the yard. It looks pretty good. Loads of group of students minding their own business. Pretty natural looking if you ask me

It does look good, it just doesn't seem to have much interaction. Maybe it's because the presenters turned the sound down so they can talk. I'm hoping for a Rockstar/Bully style thing where you can wave/react to people and they'll do the same.

It look like that. Agree with bully part but that's Rockstar innit. They go hard on details

I think the game looks great so don't know what you mean. I was commenting on the presenters of this stream acting like the character creator is amazing when it really isn't. Black Desert Online, Cyberpunk, Sims, Elder Scrolls, all of those have much better character creators.

And? There are plenty of character creators that allow you to change cheeks, noses, chins, jaws etc. this has none of that, you can't even change your height or change their body size but the presenter said 'you guys have literally thought of everything'Dude just killed me with tune bone structure
Am I wrong? Did they literally think of everything? Did the character he create look just like him considering he said 'that's me'

Sure, good enough, still a basic and in my opinion disappointing character creator that is missing some of the basics.Stop taking everything too literally
The character is good enough.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Everyone who wore glasses in school their nickname was Harry Potter, I always loved the movies, things got weird in the end with the writer, and all the issues with people.

Pretty much all character creators normally allow you to change individual aspects of the face (and body), this one only really has face presets, some hair options, some eye options and skin colour. I mean, that's fine and everything it allows you to get into the game quickly, but doesn't allow for much personalisation.

Let us hope the PC version is able to crank the visuals up.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Not sure if its just me, but every time they show more of the game, it looks worse than before.
The original reveal was so good but now .. eh ..

Looked boring as all hell. NPCs look like robots and most cannot be interacted with. House points cannot be influenced. Didn't show off any fun mini games. Instead, they showed us bland fetch quests. No... I don't think I want to waste hours of my time searching for pieces of hidden paper, keys, and gobstones.

This is set in the 1800s, you'd be lucky if it's a Nimbus 300.

I watched the full 40+ minute presentation and thought the game was looking exceptional despite some obvious framerate drops in the PS5 preview being demoed but no doubt they will be polishing and optimising the game between now and its February release. The only annoying thing about the presentation was the person going "oh my gosh", "it's amazing", "you guys think of everything" while just looking at the character creator. Has this person never seen a video game before? Other than that, the video was good and showed enough of the game for me to know that this will be a Day One purchase for me for PS5. The sheer amount of detail put into the recreation of Hogwarts and the exquisite textures really brought the place to life. Background NPCs were obviously less detailed than the player character but still looked convincing enough. I honestly cannot wait to play it. I've been enjoying the LEGO Harry Potter Collection on my PS5 recently and this game looks way, way better. I hope it plays as good as it looks (and sounds).
That summarizes it. Gives me Ubisoft vibe but at the same time it's detailed, handcrafted. But something feels off, definitely.

The lighting does seem a little 'bright' not enough shadows - HDR off?

LOL.
This looks phenomenal, as a Harry Potter fan this is exactly what I've always hoped for. I do hope they nail the story though.

Am I seeing things or did it used to look better in previous footage? The lighting of the interiors especially. The lighting was very good to my recollection, kinda like AC Unity levels.
Also, is the framerate choppy looking for you guys too or is that something on my end?

That is exactly what I was thinking lmao. All the woke people will be like turning their systems to show offline or putting on airplane mode to play it in secret. 100%
