Was Harry Potter on PS1 as Good as We Remember?

[@me-kl9tg]

You have a really great delivery style. I wish you well with the channel. Looking forward to seeing more HP videos (or whatever you decide to cover after).

[@playbackgaming276]

Thank you very much for those kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy the ones to come.

[@loganbigmo]

Hope you cover PS1 Chamber of Secrets as well!

[@playbackgaming276]

Yep, that's the plan! Finished recording the gameplay, just need to get round to putting it all together!

Mate, everyone and everybody who played this game as a kid HATED the Gringotts level! 🤣🤣🤣Great review btw

[@playbackgaming276]

It should be used as a punishment for kids. "Timmy! If you don't tidy your room, you have to play the Gringotts level and collect all the cards!"

PS1 Hagrid might be a little bit of 'low hanging fruit' when it comes to "interesting" model design. But, for me, I often couldn't get past the dungeon section for the moment you encounter peeves.. that MF scared me too much for such a small part in this otherwise very nostalgic game

[@playbackgaming276]

The PS1 ports are so odd because on the one hand, they technically aren't very good games...But at the same time there's still a charm to them that I can't resist haha. The level that freaked me and my friends out the most used to be the sleeping troll section. We'd be so focussed and quiet and then one of my friends dad would come in and try to spook us by making loud noises 🤣 good times.

@@playbackgaming276 Firstly, thank you for the plies to both this and the comment left on the Chamber of Secrets game. I was just reading your comment and had an "Oh gosh" moment when remembering the Sleeping troll section.. Young me didn't realise that there was the hay in which to lay the cage upon, so each and every time, I would place it as gently as possible on the floor, but that would still trigger the awakening, and I would just "lightning"-bolt it for the door each time... Thanks for unlocking that deeply hidden memory haha

[@playbackgaming276]

Yeah...we hadn't worked that one out either at the time haha

[@graygarrison2692]

Yes Ugh I hate those Gringotts Minecart rides They are such a pain in the ass also did split Chess into 3 parts?

[@playbackgaming276]

Yeah, I think this was back in the day where there was kind of a rule of 3. Which is fine...if the section is fun! Was debating whether to talk more about the chess section but I felt the review was getting a bit too long already. And let's face it, most people aren't even watching this 20 minute review so haha

[@graygarrison2692]

The graphics are horrible Everyone looks like They made out of H2O. They barely look Human and it’s Play Station One Sequel Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets graphics are sadly no better even though it came out in 2002.@@playbackgaming276

[@playbackgaming276]

Yeah, I'll be covering that game at some point as well. Maybe gameplay wise it will be better than the first? I can kind of understand that they would want to recycle as many assets as possible given the short deadlines they were given to get it out before the movie. It's a real shame, especially since there is a little bit of a charm to it at points. Might have been a lot better if they were given more time to flesh out the ideas more.

[@graygarrison2692]

Despite the awful graphics at least They made Aragog and His Family of Giant Spiders terrifying They at least got that right but just like Ron Weasley and His Actor Rupert Grint I’m also highly terrified of Spiders.@@playbackgaming276
