I'm getting it day 1, but I don't know if I can say this will be a solid game 100%.
Its hard to know until we play it, but I trust the team so its an easier day 1 buy them most games, but still hard to say solid 100%.
70% lol
Like...I'm sure, but shit happens too lol

Same.
This is a trusted team.
I hope this shows companies you need solid teams to actually make those licensed deals work make sense. No disrespect to Platinum Games, but those that own those IPs should see such teams cant be trusted with licenses if they are just looking to crank anything out regardless of quality.
We've seen enough great titles come out from Avalanche and Insomniac that prove not just anyone can do those licensed concepts.

Can you explain exactly how this is a trusted team and why..? I think you have them confused with someone else.

Nope.
They've put out lots of great work and are a solid enough team to trust with this. They know children's work and it looks like they've translated that well into a game.
I stand by what I'm saying bud, they are a solid team.

They've put out solid content geared towards children and this looks like one of their best works so...yea.
They are a solid studio.... they have a proven track record and I'm sure this title will be their biggest yet.
This is aimed at the demographic they've been after for decades, though their biggest game ever, they are a deeply established team that I feel can pull this off, even if I feel 70% sure on it lol
The team that did Dead Space was literally coming off some fucking barbie games lol So I don't think it would make sense to judge them based on that, thus I'm giving this team the same respect on what they can do.

The past is all we got, and none of those games listed are any good and were commercial failures (and just a cynical play at the figurine gaming space).
And a bunch of old dudes on GAF thinking a kid game studio is gonna outsell or be a GOTY is just hilarious. Pulling narratives straight out of thin air.

Not everything has to be considered GOTY to a good/fun/well-made title or a profitable one, Ricky Bobby.

Pffft. It's going waaaaaay over 20mil.
EDIT: Fuck it. If it does not sell over 20mil in the first month I'll wear a HP avatar for a month.

So you are telling me a studio that worked on Cars 3, Cars 2 and like 3 Disney Infinity projects of which not scored 80% or higher with exception of the last Disney Infinity game is a team to be trusted? Hmmm okay.
I guess Harry Potter is considered children's work? It just seems odd to me that with a strong brand name like that you'd give the game to a somewhat of a B/High C developer.
The game visually looks stunning and so do the animations, I'll give you that. But I am skeptical on how much content there is going to be and how well everything flows together. Hope they can do a good job, of they do manage to blow people away then more power to them, but I am concerned for the reasons I stated above.

Thats nice.
They put out lots of solid titles, I'm not even saying I'm 100% sure this is going to be some slam dunk for fuck sakes, I even say 70% sure...so you telling me its a fail right off bat? Ignore all the millions they sold of those other titles or the fact that the titles are solid releases of working games?
Not every game is going to be some The Last Of Us or Elden Ring type thing on sales or awards man, that doesn't mean they can't be solid releases and I think you might be crying waaaaaay too fucking hard over this opinion.
They have almost 30 years making games, I'm sure they'll be just fine lol The fact that its even number 1 on Steam shows they will be ok bud.
Barbie horse racing didn't determine the quality of Dead Space, I'm sure most are smart enough to realize that.
Never said this would be GOTY or anything wild like that, in fact my post merely states they are solid trusted team and they very much are considering the millions they've sold......thats it.
You going to need to get over that bud lol
(You can talk to yourself about being mad that I think it will be a solid title, you going to need that cope big when this game releases. added to ignore) Have a good one man..

Not only that but if a studio goes this big for a new game than they will hire a shitton of new talent to do so. Its not like this is the same team as before.

From Software has been putting some of the best games since studio's inception.

I think this is going to be huge. But 20 million first month is like giga huge lol.
Does even call of duty do that? GTA5 probably did but I can't think of anything else.
Elden ring is still on 17.5 million

I don't see what this is meant to prove. How good a game can you make if you're forced to crunch out a shiitty license every year?
As others have mentioned the team has likely expanded massively for this. So it may not even be the same people.
If this game is good or not will depend very little on there past games.

Thought experiment time! Which studio could deliver an AAA high Metacritic game if given the Disney Infinity I.p and forced to get it done in year?
From the publisher no doubt the devs were probably just crunching to get the games out the door. I imagine they are a lot more passionate about this not to mention the team has likely expanded massively and doesn't at all represent what the prior teams looked like.
A bunch of us think it's gonna be good I don't think I've seen anyone say it's gonna be GOTY. Strawman's are fun to construct!
Hmmmm I imagine most people think's its gone be good due to the amount of footage released so far. Subjective yes but's it based on reality.
Regarding sales well that's based on early chart's like Steam, PSN, and amazon as well as other metric's like YouTube view's. Not to mention it's attached to one of the biggest media franchise's ever and one of if not THE best selling book series of all time....
But sure yeah pulling narrative's right out my ass here!

Why are you so overly emotional over a kid's game on an internet forum dude? Why would I buy mad and crying? Over what lol? You are the one who gets upset when someone challenges your argument/believes, not me. I explained to you fully on what I am concerned about in regards to this title without throwing any insults or some sort of shade at you.
I never said I hope the game does bad... I want the game to be good just as anyone else who's interested in this title including me. I just simply stated I don't really trust this team for the reasons that I have posted. And I never said this game needs to be another GOTY or Elden Ring. You are exaggerating so much and making assumptions about me that make no sense.
You need to relax dude, this is not that serious.. Also, the studio hasn't even been around for 30 years... they started operations in the year 1995, 30 years would be 2025. At least get your facts straight before trying to prove some sort of a point.
Oh, and also you refused to explain how this is a trusted team. Normally when someone refuses to explain their thought process or their reasoning why they believe something it means that they have no clue what they are talking about and have poor arguments to make.
The game is selling well because of the following A) JK Rowling Drama, B) The IP power and C) Its the first big game of the year that many have been anticipating since it's reveal. Of course it will sell well. Just because something is selling well doesn't mean the game is going to be amazing or super bad either. There have been plenty of titles in the past that sold well but were critical failures and vice versa.

Can't wait for the "professional" reviews for this, it's gonna be glorious. They either have to explain how some tweets impact the quality of the game or they'll catch flak from the biggest bunch of loons on the net.

An easy day 1.
The team has a long history of some quality work and the team growing even larger helps solidify that this could be a solid title. They nailed the world on its look and feel.

All one has to do is watch the gameplay footage. This game is clearly looking like some top notch stuff unless there's something I'm missing. The flying on the broom, the combat system, the world design, authenticity to the world, the creativity. This could easily turn out to be one of the greatest games ever made based off what I've seen already to be honest lol.
It looks that fantastic. I can see this being a loved hit RPG for years to come if you love the Harry Potter universe.

I think that Sony have really got behind the marketing of this is really telling. They almost treat it like a tent pole first party game with a state of play etc. ( Has any other 3rd party game got a state of play?).
There not idiots they have seen more than we have and they think there onto a banger!
I guess we could have another No Man's Sky but I doubt it!

Nah, no man's sky never looked this interesting lol. This game has winner written all over it. What Batman Arkham did for superhero games, this game will do for Harry Potter AAA wizard/witch games.

The legions of HarryPotter fans seriously outweigh the crazy, by like 100000000 to 1. He’ll just snicker as the money is going into his pockets.
