| | |  OotP video game producer talks romance + new images
In a new interview from EA Games, the executive producer of the new Order of the Phoenix video game, Henry Elliot, answers many questions about the game.
He reports that the actors of the films had their faces scanned so that the game would get an authentic feel of the book, film, and proper age of the characters.
Quote:
IGN: How is Hogwarts represented in The Order of the Phoenix? Is it an open world, are the level loads, etc.?
Harvey Elliott: Making it an open world was a huge task, but one the team have met incredibly well. We set the bar very, very high: to create an open world game that looks better than traditional linear games, and build it in a way that the player never has to pause for a load screen, and we don't change the architecture of movie Hogwarts just to make it easier for ourselves. We don't believe that open world has to mean poor graphic quality so we've pushed really hard to make it look and feel amazing. And this isn't just for next gen, we set the same high bar on PS2. I've seen so many people pick up the controller in the Great Hall, run up the Grand Staircase, pick a door (or secret passageway) to run through and two hours later they're still astonished that they're finding new rooms, new courtyards, new professors and students to talk to and of course, more secrets to discover. They just get blown away by the scale of the castle. Fortunately, we've added a magical navigation system that allows you to select your destination from the marauder's map and be led in the right direction by magical footprints until you start to learn the layout.
|
Also, the game will be sticking pretty closely to the book and movie. Some of the questions he answered had to do with how the game depicts how Harry, Ron, and Hermione cope with adolescence and first love. Even the nervous moments with Cho will be included!
Harvey Elliott says: Quote:
Oh yes, we had fun recreating the turmoil of teenage relationships. Whenever Cho and Harry meet in the game, they fumble around for the right words, and most times Harry just fails to say the right thing and ends up feeling a bit stupid. And in the background, Ron is totally oblivious to the whole romance, occasionally making it worse for Harry by criticizing Cho for her sudden support of the Tornados Quidditch team just because they're playing well -- although at one point he does ask Hermione if she's noticed Harry acting a bit strangely around Cho. The script is really strong. And, of course, we feature the famous first kiss.
To read the whole interview, go here.
Furthermore new images from the game can be seen here.

that is so awesome, the interactive world and just being able to go where ever u want makes it look incredible, that was the downfall of goblet of fire, anyway, i am so incredibly amped for this game to come out, by the way they seem to have laid it out and designed it, its looks to be the most fun

Oooh, so this is going to be an open world game. Yay! I hated GoF as it didn't have that. I wonder if you can go out on your broom, like you did in PoA with Buckbeak. I just hope you can play as the trio instead of just Harry. Maybe even multiplayer, that was the best bit of GoF.
Anyhoo, this game does sound pretty good now we know about the open world, instead of loads of levels. Wheeeeeeee.

if the game is closely following the film storyline, i hope it doesn't mean the film will have loads of romance stuff and not much important action/adventure stuff.

This is so cool. Just by listening to the interview, everything seems so right and perfect. I'm sure it's going to be a great success when it is released.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
