Hogwarts Legacy is now available on PC, and you will probably need to do a lot of settings tinkering to get it running well.
Hogwarts Legacy 2 will arrive no earlier than 2027, as Warner Bros plans major franchise returns between 2027 and 2028.
Thats ok ! Take Your time and make it gooood.
Playing the first one these days, and got a long way to go before finishing. Awesome game! Gonna 100% it.
I got mine just 5$ for switch 1 version and 5$ for switch 2 upgrade! Very beautiful game.
Man I hope they emphasize the school aspect and minimize the open world Ubisoft-ness of the first game. Open world is fine but it felt like every other game when I left the school.
This is interesting considering they canned the planned DLC and Netflix said they did not even consider the gaming division an asset when evaluating the company.
Remember all the websites that tried to cancel the game? It triggered the games media so much many refused to review it (Eurogamer + many more), or they they low-scored the game not because of its quality but because of the trans issues (The Guardian.) They to alienate the public to such a degree that it backfired and it lost them the trust of their readers. How many have had layoffs or gone to the wall since then? Kotaku, Polygon, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, etc. They didn't listen to their audience and they thought that their voices were enough to kill public demand - it wasn't. Hogwarts Legacy launched and delivered a bona fide adventure in the Harry Potter universe. This game demonstrates in the best way that publishers shouldn't listen to the games media, or advocacy groups, or online campaigns - just give the players the game that they want. Hogwarts Legacy could get to 50 million.
Epic Games Store has announced Hogwarts Legacy as its new free mystery game, available until December 18.
5 hours into the game, so far performance has been pretty spotty. In hogwarts it’s 60 locked ultra settings. In mead town it was crazy all over the place. Lots of world clipping as well and fast travel takes about 5 seconds.
I assume they aren’t leveraging the tech in for quick loads. The magic is cool, albeit not very impactful yet it fits for the world we are in. Not a fan of the transitions between opening doors as it really slows down a lot.
All in all though in the performance side it’s playable for sure. Just trying to get to the open world though as the first 5 hours is really dragged down by a lot of dialogue and side missions
As i stated before I upgraded from a 3070 to a 4090 and the game still suffers from major fps drops, especially in hogsmead where i get lows of 20fps to high of 60ish. the game doesn't stutter as much though unlike on my 3070 and i suspect it's because I now have a ridiculous 24gb of vram available to brute force the game. Something is definitely wrong with how the engine uses gpu memory or maybe even ram.
