Mention of Harry Potter this IP believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, as a best-selling global magic literature series of novels, it accompanied many children to grow up, although from the first book of the series "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" published to now more than twenty years, but its influence is getting higher and higher, so that now many game companies want to get the copyright to develop "HP co-branded games", the most well-known of which is NetEase's "Harry Potter: Magic Awakening".
This game in the promotion period is enough homework, claiming that it will restore the magical world in the minds of fans, there are many interesting ways to play, thanks to the appeal of the Harry Potter IP, the number of reservations on the whole platform before the game is launched is as high as 10 million, but this game seems to continue the style of NetEase games "high open low walk", a week after the official launch in September last year, its rating on the taptap platform dropped from 9 points to 6 points, what touched the bottom line of players?
1. First-class artists, planning at the end
The artists of Harry Potter: Magical Awakening are still aesthetically online most of the time, from the first season of straight to the Dark Night Manor, homework colorful holidays, turntable fire dragon suits, to the recent Raven Fans, Magic Summit, most of the fashion has received a lot of praise, and the game graphics are relatively beautiful.
But compared to the artist, the planning is like being cast a spell, the game setting is very outrageous, the unforgivable spell is flying all over the campus (although the class can not use the unforgivable spell recently, but the dueling arena with Awada to nibble classmates is also a big spectacle of Hogwarts); the mission line setting is also very strange, and you have to fight with small animals in the last class; the danger zone of the Forbidden Forest is even random; and even the initial Krypton gold can pull teammates twice in a two-player duel, completely destroying the balance of the competition. So many players complained more and more, and even many players abandoned the pit after a week of play.
2, the big IP into a card game, lose playability
Harry Potter such a big IP plasticity is very strong, but NetEase made it into a walking card game, although the platoon and actual combat is very challenging brain and eyesight, but with most of the players' expectations are a lot worse, to know that JK Rowling created the wizarding world is very large, the protagonists during the school in addition to the school Hogwarts, but also can go to Hogsmeade Village, make it into an open world, let the players explore it themselves?
3, the funds are burning, not Krypton gold will be beaten
The most incomprehensible is its kryptonite mechanism, at the beginning of the year due to the "New Year's carousel world", the game circle occurred a "ten thousand people please resign Harry Potter planning" event, I believe that the small partners who have played the magic awakening have heard, although the final official can not withstand the pressure to change the activity play, but a variety of circle money activities or make the small partners who love this IP very cold.
XiaoLing feels that this game makes the friends who really love the wizarding world very entangled, although there are too few Harry Potter-themed games with formal copyrights, but true love fans can't play it. Now you don't have to tangle! Because at today's "state of play" launch, Avalanche Software brought an epic production – Hogwarts: Legacy!
Set in a magical, open-world setting in the 19th century (before the Newt era), Hogwarts Legacy allows players to pinch their faces freely and join the game as a fifth-grader with a little fame.
In the game, players can experience a variety of stories described in the book, such as taking magic classes (herbal lessons, Defence Against the Dark Arts, etc.).
You can also have your own broomstick and achieve broom freedom (Xiao Ling: My Light Wheel 2000 is not out of play!). You can even explore and discover secret passages and places on your own, such as the House of Needs!
Such a highly free open world is the magical world in Xiao Ling's mind! As for the spell problem that everyone is most concerned about, it can be seen from the real machine demonstration that a variety of spells, including the classic spell "Except Your Weapon", need to be learned gradually by the player, and even "develop" some ancient spells that the teachers do not know to fight!
Warner confirms that the work will be officially released at the end of this year, maybe as a Christmas gift for everyone, and look forward to writing your own magic legend!
