Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions

[XtremelyBaneful]

1) There are many elsewhere acting like Avalanche is responsible for both games.

But what's that got to do with anything? What's that got to do with the conversation that you and I are having? If people out there are acting misinformed, then that's their problem. I know Unbroken is responsible for this game.

My point originally has been that it could have just been a DLC for Hogwarts Legacy, but I've now shifted into believing that it's sensible for Quidditch Champions to be a separate game, but not be separate canon-wise from Hogwarts Legacy.

2) WB selling two games is maximizing their profits, I didn't say or meant to imply anything contrary to the sort. Simply that there is no evidence that WB told Avalanche - "alright, don't include quidditch in your game at all because we want to make a game that is solely focused around quidditch." To me, that's a far flung conspiracy theory that doesn't come across as grounded at all. Neither impacted each other.

Ah, okay. I think I misread one of your previous posts. I thought you said WB maximizing profits would have meant one game that included Quidditch, but you actually meant that them maximizing profits would be one game including Quidditch and a followup focusing solely on Quidditch.

Perhaps you have a point there, but I still feel like something like that would divide the fan base instead of maximize sales. What they're doing now is probably the best strategy - it's the lack of canonicity that I think is the mistake.

3) While I'm not interesting in this game (nor the one in 2003), I like that the teams haven't been forced to work together - it allows both developers a lot more leeway and creative liberty to tell the game or film that they want to tell. Creatives tend to prefer independence than being hogtied to a committee as that usually hinders the final product.

4) Is Hogwarts Legacy even canon, on that matter? I always took it as basically an else worlds tale rather than something that was specifically intended to tie directly into the films, books, or upcoming show.

I'm fine with the teams not being forced together and for the games themselves being separate, but I don't like that they're not canon. And that's just the thing - the completely distinct art style pretty sums up the fact that the games aren't connected.

I don't know or particularly care if HL is canon to the whole Wizarding world, but I think QC should be canon to that.

I am at a loss as per why people are accusing Avalanche of being behind Quidditch Champions. On comments elsewhere it goes as far as accusing the makers of Hogwarts Legacy of releasing Quidditch separately.

I probably should have made it clearer that I was and continued to direct my comments at a wider net rather than just you (which you took it as). That’s on me.

It seems we’re in agreement except for canon, which agree to disagree there.

I want a sequel to the game and I want a movie based in the Quidditch world

I never responded to this post before, but I think a movie based on how Quidditch the sport formed would be genius. This would be a perfect opportunity to have a story about a wizard consulting with a Muggle on how to build to culture. since in reality, the Quidditch sport is made up of several real-life sports like soccer, basketball, & baseball, I think a good story to tell would be a witch or a wizard finding a Muggle and having them consult in creating a sport within the wizarding world.

and then the third act could have the first official Quidditch match, ever.

for some reason IGN's upload of this trailer isn't in 4K

nah, I'm not feeling this. the color palette in several places I guess because of the art style just looks dull.

The first scene was looking too familiar & then I realized it was just a clip from Chamber of Secrets. I'm just gonna go ahead and say this. The graphics suck.

I don't get why they made this game look so different from Hogwarts Legacy if they're still going to keep an association with it.
