Hogwarts Legacy in London? - Hogwarts Legacy sequel rumors spark community theories

The ideas for what the players and fans of Hogwarts Legacy want for the sequel are from one end to the other, and it is quite amazing to hear all these cool ideas from the community and what could be ahead for Harry Potter fans alike.

GooGobbler699d ago

It was a toss up between London and Burkina Faso

thorstein698d ago

They should use the school from Dangerous Wands.

gerbintosh698d ago

It was London and Botswana. Really close but London edged em out, barely

Yung-T698d ago

But there have been zero leaks on the location and the entire article is just about fans arguing about where it should be.
Not sure why ppl here think the game will definitely be in London.

victorMaje699d ago

They made a great Harry Potter game, but an overall ok game. Legacy did some things right but other things wrong (game design-wise).
I don’t think the sales should be a metric for success here. Fans were hungry for anything Harry Potter & this one hit the spot but imo could’ve been better in many ways.
I’ll call it a good start (as a game), but Avalanche Software will have to be careful with the sequel.

Notellin699d ago

Yeah I'm sure they are scouring the forums for upset players and really taking the edgelord feedback to heart.

The game will be fine you are not that important and your opinion is anecdotal.

victorMaje699d ago

Who’s upset? I’m saying this because I want them to succeed. & this is coming from someone who’s not that big a fan. I only watched the movies (which I loved), never read the books.

ClayRules2012698d ago

I agree.

An overall okay game.

HL is a Harry Potter fans dream come true, it really is. Avalanche poured so much love into the most recognizable things from the books and films, that fans will recognize, admire and love the attention to detail that was given to the games specific locations, objects, things said in this world. However, when it comes to basic video game design, such as the open world, HL doesn’t do anything great. Not only that, it isn’t consistent across the board with so much, that things the game does solid/well get riddled down because of other aspects of the game in other areas that just aren’t well implement.

I could go on and on, more about what Avalanche didn’t do well (long list) but also point out a few of the games strengths. But ultimately, as you said, and I agree, it’s a good start as a game. But a lot of work to make the sequel great as a game in itself, being great across the board.

Zeref699d ago

London is so basic. We've seen it a billion times.
If they wanna do something unique.
Set it in Uagadou in Uganda. But they probably don't got the balls.

porkChop699d ago

That would actually be pretty cool to see.

Zeref698d ago

I like that they use magic differently, they don't use wands apparently

-Foxtrot699d ago (Edited 699d ago )

True but it’s not like we’ve had many games set in London, have we?

Only one I can really think of was The Getaway

Would be nice if in the future other open world games outside of HP would take place in Manchester, Edinburgh or Newcastle etc

porkChop698d ago

Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, The Order: 1886, The Getaway, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Resistance, Sherlock Holmes, GTA, and Hellgate: London. There's also Fallout: London coming which is a total conversion mod. I wouldn't be opposed to Hogwarts Legacy 2 being set in London though.

-Foxtrot697d ago (Edited 697d ago )

I kind of meant recent modern / near modern open world games

698d ago
Vits699d ago

Honestly, I really wish they went with the other schools.
Like pick Uagadou, Castelobruxo, Mahoutokoro or even Ilvermorny and make a game set there with their own little twist to the magic system and flash out the different cultures that are honestly barely explored in other media.

Inverno699d ago

I think they should take the series outside of Hogwarts and London. There are other schools out there that have not been very fleshed out, and other kinds of magic and forms of casting. JKs wizarding world needs to be fleshed out more and they have the opportunity to do just that.

Hogwarts Legacy Nintendo Switch 2 Rivals PS4 Pro Performance, But Series S Maintains Visual Edge

Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers performance close to the PS4 Pro version with faster loading times.

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 🤷‍♂️.

Profchaos16d ago

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

ABizzel116d ago (Edited 16d ago )

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.

Babadook716d ago

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.

OtterX16d ago

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.

Neonridr16d 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.

OtterX16d ago (Edited 16d 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!

Grilla16d ago

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

anast16d 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.
