Aspettando... Harry Potter e l'Ordine della Fenice

[pipposanta]

Apro questo thread come punto di riferimento per tutti quelli che come me stanno aspettando questo gioco che sembra ci riserverà molte sorprese. A differenza dei giochi precedenti questo sarà completamente diverso, molto più immersivo e con una grafica mozzafiato!

Ecco alcune foto:

Queste sono alcune delle caratteristiche che avrà:

* Shorter loading times - you'll get some news here which I think you will be overjoyed about!

* OWL exams (that was my hint about classes ) - you'll find out which ones you'll take and how you can take them!

* Exploring Hogwarts - loads of detail and what you'll see, where you can go and when and how you'll be able to do this!

* The comments about lighting and camera angles have been taken very seriously - these will be improved for this game.

* Details about how many characters, which ones, the DA and also who will not be appearing in the game.

* Exploring other locations - again, I think you will be really happy about what you'll hear!

* Learning new spells - you'll find out how many there will be and there will be new ones, all sanctioned by Jo, including the opposite to Accio!!!!

* FLYING!! (It's the first question and answer and although I did come back and report what they said, you'll get it in their own words).

* Details on how the Marauders Map will be used.

* More detail about playing as Fred and George.

* Exciting news about how Occlumency will work.

* More about duelling and lots more!

Il gioco uscirà per PC, XBox 360, Ps3, Ps2, Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP
La data di uscita è prevista per il 13 luglio 2007 insieme al film.

Ho trovato un'intervista che chiarsice alcuni aspetti del gioco.

1. Will you be able to collect wizard cards like in the first games?
Order of the Phoenix is not like the previous Harry Potter games where the player collected beans and Wizard Cards; it is an open-world game that you can explore as much as you like. At the heart of the game is the notion of “discovery”. Hogwarts is a very magical place in this game, so if you explore it we want you to have a reward for everything you discover. With that in mind we have things in each room that player can discover with their magic.
As part of the discovery we are planning for you to be able to go to classes where you will have “tests” that you will be OWL rated on. If you get Outstanding we are looking at giving rewards that unlock some extra secrets in the castle.
When the player has completed the adventure we open Hogwarts back up to the player in the “Endless Day”. This gives the player the opportunity to go back and discover anything they missed while playing through the first time.

2. Can Harry jump? (Because he couldn't in the fourth game)
We’ve tried to stay as authentic to the book as possible, not just in the story and the way it looks, but in the types of activities that Harry engages with. As a result the experience is based on exploration, magic and working with your friends.

3. Will we be able to fly on the Thestrals? (In the same way you could fly on Buckbeak?)
We would really love to put the Thestrals flying in the game but given our team size and development time, we won’t be able to build as much of the book/film as we would like to do. They will definitely be represented in the story and the player will see the Thestrals when Harry meets up with Luna by the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

4. Is Hogsmeade in the game?
The player will be able to go almost everywhere inside Hogwarts, from Hagrid’s Hut, to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and into the Herbology greenhouses. We’re not expecting to include Hogsmeade, as an area to explore, although the meeting in the Hogshead will appear in the story. The reason is that we really want to focus on delivering the best Hogwarts fan experience we can this year.

5. Will the release date of the game be the same for any part in the world? (Or at least for Britain and the Netherlands/Belgium)
We are aiming to have the game released in all territories on the same day as the movie.
