Hogwarts Legacy - PlayStation Exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest | PS5 & PS4 Games

"Madam Mason has a Hogsmeade shop to sell - but there’s a catch. Uncover what lies beneath this haunted shop during a PlayStation exclusive quest.

Watch your step - not everyone who enters is able to escape the darkness."

PlayStation getting a small 2 hour Hogwarts DLC is so anti-competitive that I’m going to kick up a massive fuss the same way I did with the Destiny items. I will get all my friends in the media to signal boost the cause. This is why it’s a good thing that Microsoft will eventually make Call of Duty a true exclusive.

not sure if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not. sony has marketing right to this game, so its not a big deal to have a small extra quest. its not the same as MS buying the largest publisher in gaming to make the biggest game exclusive eventually. that being said MS can have activision, they make extremely mediocre games imo. sucks for COD fans that play on playstation, but i dont play that trash anyways.
big get for MS, but sony will end up making something better anyways. im curious how far the numbers for COD will fall when it does go exclusive. MS is betting big on gamepass.

Are you from the US?

Sony will make something better than COD? I can barely think of one multiplayer exlcusive from Sony in the past decade. And they are especially awful at making multiplayer shooters, they're non existent on Playstation.

And you think they're just gonna "make something better" than the best selling game on both consoles? Okay.

I mean, did anyone think the Switch 2 would be comparable to current-gen? Yea, I’m pretty sure it’s going to give you PS4 quality looking/playing games and in a couple years we’ll be onto PS6 and most third-party games will either be downgraded to hell or just not be available on Switch 2 🤷‍♂️.

Profchaos2d ago

I was never under any illusion it would compare to series s imagine the battery life

It’s doing exactly what I expected and what it needed to do base Xbox One settings in most games upscaled to 2x the resolution with DLSS when docked, and running with better performance. What more can you ask for out of a 10w - ~57w~ platform

Current-gen AAA Games (SX/PS5): 540p @ 30-40fps most games upscaled to 1080p @ 30-40fps
Last-gen AAA Games (XBO/PS4): 720p @ 30-60fps most games upscaled to 1440p @ 30-60fps
PS360/Switch AAA Games: 1080p @ 30-60fps most games upscaled to 1440p-4K @ 30-60fps
Rare cases the PS360/Switch games at 1080p@120fps games like Metroid

And that’s perfectly fine, except docked mode on AAA games could become fairly blurry on large 4K displays.

Sorry, I disagree with this sentiment. The Switch 2 is a current gen machine and well above the PS4 Pro. It goes toe to toe with the Series S due to great DLSS and a modern architecture in many games. This game (Hogwarts Legacy) has always been the poorest example of what the Switch 2 can do and appears to simply be a bad port. Cyberpunk 2077 is on the other hand a great port.

for a handheld it's quite nice, but don't go in expecting a serious console. Keep your PS5 and/or PC. You can tell a huge difference in those long distance shots w the foilage/grass. But again on an 8 inch screen, I bet it looks and plays decent enough.

Neonridr2d ago

the way I look at it, the PS4 Pro still had some gorgeous games. If I could have games that looked like TLOU2 on the system, would I really care about what it would look like on a PS5? No.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Only on my 55" 4k do I care for that extra oomph. I would be blown away to have a game on par graphically w the PS4 Pro version of TLOU II on a handheld!

Grilla2d ago

Graphics are irrelevant if it’s not running at 60fps

anast2d ago

Switch 2 is around $450 to $700 depending on the country. Let that sink in. Get that nice '280p' Cyberpunk...

They are comparing the S to the PS4. HA!

Couldn't go 2 sentences without bringing up JK Rowling's viewpoints (which are now acknowledged and supported by the UK Supreme Court). Time for all the "progressive" whiners to latch back on to reality.
