Longplay of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

[@nikodem123asdf]

So this is the second Harry potter for the PSX. It's probably one of the less known Harry Potters cause anyone who has played the first one for the PSX and looked at the screenshot of this one they'd think it's the same game and honestly I cant blame them. However when you get past the surface level likeness the game is... still very much like the first Harry Potter on the PSX except better, faster, more fun, less minecart, no peacock but still just as ugly meaning it's the PSX harry potter you'll want to play. It's really fun it has a shitload of "no time to explain no time to make sense" minigames thich really add to the breakneck pacing Argonaut went for with this game. Oh did I just namedrop the developer of the first Star Fox and the the croc games as well as highly revolutionary and underrated Alien 3 FPS for the PSX ? I think I did, yes they also made this game and it really shows they knew what they were doing (aside from the graphics, they're nightmarefuel).

What?

[@nikodem123asdf]

@Hamish McDade point is this game is fun and ridiculous and unlike the first psx potter, there are no ragequit inducing moments.

[@charlesundying5315]

@@nikodem123asdf PSX? Pretty sure most people call it the PS1 or "original Playstation" Not sure what the X is for, the "PSX" doesn't exist yet and if it did, it would be "Playstation 10"

[@nikodem123asdf]

@@charlesundying5315 people call it playstation, ps1 or psx. PSX is the initial name of the project and even tho that name was dropped for the final product lots of people kept using it regardless, cause it was the 90ies and anything with an X in it was instantly more cool.

[@charlesundying5315]

@@nikodem123asdf Yes, but I said "most people". I guarantee over 90% of Playstation users have never called it the PSX, most likely becajse they weren't born yet when it was called that... Remember, it's 2019, and the average "gamer age" is most likely only between 13 - 23, meaning even the older side of the average was still barely a toddler at the start of the century.

@The Cool show Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. This game has a coherent and consistent narrative, very close to the book. That is why, in terms of plot and atmosphere, in my opinion, this one is the best of the Harry Potter games.

[@bilelazzez8856]

Like anybody else. The sound design gave me shivers: The cracking sound of opening the doors, charging a spell, the scary lawnmower, the verses of the thrown goblins. I just get a hit of sweet melancholy at each step Harry takes. Wonderful trip down to memory lane, when I was 5 to 6 years old and I had to ask help to my mom to complete the potion at Defense against dark arts.

It's kinda like that with the movies as well, at least imo. The first 3 movies had this sorta had this sense of magical wonder that the later films lacked. The movies started to get so serious and dark in the later half of the series that it kinda took the fun out of them for me.

While the graphics are inferior to the PC and PS2 versions, this game is still really good, surprisingly faithful to parts of the book even and to me is the closest in matching the tonality of the Chamber of Secrets story. The hardest part wasn't fighting the Basilisk though; it was sliding down to the Chamber itself, I actually died over probably 50 times before I finally made it.

[@autumnmaru]

I don't know who would read this, but I want a full on remake of this series, but change somethings. What I may say is not everyone's cuppa tea but I would love it if you could put all 7 years in one game, where each year you are gradually more able to explore hogwarts. And you had a more leisure time exploring. You had a day and night cycle where you had to go to a class or activity at a certain time. Could go to bed. Do more quests and get more collectables. Just really add more to the game now there's a bigger limit what you can do with a game. Switch between spells and all sorts. Really make it a magical experience.
