Video Footage: AAA Harry Potter game by Avalanche Software leaked ( video taken down by WB )

I don't think this is a Rocksteady project (even the character models don't look like anything they'd create), but even if you have no investment in HP, they have a great skillset for a HP game.
Rocksteady is really good at environment design. Not just the actual level/game design, but they are also do a great job playing with architectural styles. These are (some of) the things everyone liked about Arkham Asylum. Hogwarts is the ultimate Arkham Asylum. It would've been pretty good!

Getting that real nice Fable vibe from that which is perfect, this needs to be excessively British.
Looks a bit rough around the edges but it's clear this was made for an internal showing, you don't show HUDs and such in proper trailers. I wonder when this is coming. I'm not very much interested in the franchise but the game looks interesting enough.
Looks dope. I hope it doesn't have a huge focus on combat though. You can do so much more with that world than zap some suckas.
This doing well means we could get more HP games which, hell yes. All the HP games forever and ever. Even the new mobile game is fun it's just ruined by forcing you to endure the god awful micro-transactions.
I love how theres a sense of impact when casting a spell. Soooo good!It's a mixed bag for sure (given it's clearly WIP) but I think some of the animation actually looks outstanding. Take these bits for example:
From what little we see in the video, the environments also look really good. Structures like walls and bridges are getting destroyed piece by pieceIt's a mixed bag for sure (given it's clearly WIP) but I think some of the animation actually looks outstanding. Take these bits for example:
People on this site don't think MINECRAFT is still relevant anymore.

God I hope the game is real.
Hot damn that looks good

I'm drooling at the possibility of a new Qudditch World Cup game.
It's basically common knowledge that Avalanche is doing work on the Harry Potter IP. Like leaks galore. However, they were only sold by Disney to WB 18 months ago. It seems implausible that it would be so complete-looking so fast.
The possibilities are:
- They worked really fast and got a good looking trailer already, although the game is nowhere near complete despite how good it looks here.
- It was in development by Avalanche prior to them being sold to WB.
- It is being developed by another studio, not Avalanche
- It was being developed by someone else and Avalanche took over development or began co-development.
They do need to show that combat isn't the primary gameplay cycle though, I don't need to have 100+ combat encounters in a Harry Potter game.
Oh absolutely. I think that probably also lets them mess around and try different things these games have never done before. They've done a stellar job already based on that footage and you said it's only been 2 years or so. That's really impressive and speaks volume of what the end product will end up being. They're actually putting effort into this and it isn't another licensed game. Sounds like you're right on the money with Spider-Man comparisons.
I find it weird that people are judging this as if the game is going to be revealed at TGA show and released early next year, guys, for a project that isn't coming until (presumably) two years from now, it looks like it has some serious production values under it so far.
Have patience!

I mean its them
It looks as good as it does because they are using UE4

There better be quidditch. I played the shit out of that quidditch World Cup game on the GameCube.
A) Those don't happen B) Those don't happen with a company like WB with a brand like Harry Potter C) This is so rough and so early that there's nothing to be gained and only things to be lost by this being leaked months before a planned reveal.
According to the guy who initially leaked the video on reddit, he says he was paid to watch the video and answer a questionnaire as part of a focus group. They said no recording but no one checked him for his phone so he leaked it. So this video is for internal focus group testing, not actual public media.

What does gobbies mean in other countries?
In Australia, it means blowjob so I was really taken back by this post at first.
I mean yeah but this place loathes MP games they perceive have taken the place of a SP game from that dev.
