I remember playing on the PS2. How is it different from the other ones?

The PS2 version is a unique game, in other words it's different from the GameCube/Xbox version. While it has subjectively inferior visuals (look up a side by side comparison) to the other sixth gen consoles version, the PS2 game allows greater freedom to fly around the Hogwarts grounds.

GC/Xbox feels more polished and "next-gen" though. It's very weird comparing these games. The 2 sixth gen console games are definitively better than PC in any case.

PS1 is either a dumpster fire or SOUL overload depending on your nostalgia for it. Still, very very technically impressive for the system.

GBC game is a turn based RPG, Final Fantasy-lite. Many improvements over Sorcerer's Stone on the GBC (also an RPG), amazing scenery and music. Very ambitious, well made and comfy as fuck. Equipment system is completely broken though, you will never ever be able to afford any gear lol.

GBA is a weak top down action adventure game. Nice isometric backgrounds.

Are you some sort of weird HP guru or something? What prompted you to remember this oldie but goodie?

I don’t consume media made for 8 year olds.

Reminder that PS1 CoS has the most soul out of all of the versions

I feel your autism, I played every version of the first YS just to see how they compare

The fact every system had a different version of these games is mind blowing

That's because you were still in your dads balls when these games came out.

That's probably because you only turned 8 a few months ago, so you weren't here when this game released all those years ago.

This is one of the worst games I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing, but somehow it’s still not as shitty as one of the shittiest franchises in the history of movie franchises .

Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Version differences are my fetish. I love the DF Retro videos that break down all the different versions of a game. The Doom video was awesome.

Well, GameCube and Xbox are the exact same game.

This game btw was the basis for a 6th gen version of Sorcerer's Stone which of course came out one year AFTER Chamber of Secrets. It reuses a lot of assets and places from CoS of course, like Majora's Mask does with Ocarina. It sold poorly due to being bizarrely released in 2003, two years after every other Sorcerer's Stone game.

GameCube disc is quite rare and pricey.

Apparently you since you cannot shut the fuck up about them for 5 sevonds

I didn't notice when I watched the movies as a kid but now it's kind of depressing watching the movies go from wholesome family oriented fairytale with Christian themes in Sorcerers Stone to the pseudo atheist broodfest it became from Goblet of Fire onwards. Who the fuck came up with Merlin's beard as an expletive? And where did Christmas go? It made perfect sense the wizards and witches could still believe in Christ but it's like the entire wizarding world was retconned to have developed outside of regular human exsistence. Was this done in the movies for diversity points or did Rowling do it?

Who got on your tits today m8?

Age sure did a number on her looks.

>PS2 emulation

There is no such thing.

What about the pc version? I played sourcers stone on windows. It was pure kino from what i remember. I want to replay it through the dolphin emulator but now you have me second guessing if its the same game i played on windows.

It's simple, there are six Harry Potter games worth playing:
>1-3 on pc
>1-3 on ps2

>ps2
fuck off nigger. PS2 runs mutliplats at like 15 fs.

I remember really liking the prisoner of azkaban game on PS2. I would ride that bird thing around for hours

>2nd fantastic beasts movie flopped

Really? That's a shame, the first one was way better that the entire HP saga snd the second one was pretty interesting, but I can totally see people boycotting because Dumbledore ended being gay for Grimdewald.

yeah fuck doing something mentally stimulating, right, nigger?

Everyone and their mothers do them of any shitty topic they can think off, I'm so tired of them plaguing my Youtube front page.

>wizards didnt have toilets since they magicked away their poop and just went wherever they stood
The toilets and the 2 miles of sewers underneath the castle were built as a joke apparently

yeah but ps2 got favoritism because reasons so we're fucked man

There are six versions of Chamber of Secrets:

PC
PS1
PS2
GameCube/Xbox
GBA
GBC

There are five versions of Sorcerer's Stone:

PC
GBC
GBA
PS1
PS2/GameCube/Xbox (released two years later, based on GCN/Xbox CoS)

In both instances the PC game is a classic but very lacking compared to 6th gen console ones. Every one of them is full of SOUL and has their own little peculiarities and unique details.

CoS on GBC was very solid. PoA was a similar fun RPG on GBA but then they ditched that style of game with GoF for DS and went with some weird mission based game. A step down and I stopped buying the games after that. I heard 7 was like an FPS though.

Different directors, different visions. I agree that the early Potter films were the best, I never liked Yates style.

They didn't know the spell back then

I played this on GBC when I was 5

Yes, games from GoF onwards don't even register in my mind. There may be something interesting in some of the handheld versions but I don't care

That shit is so fucking weird. Shame they made every game the same starting with Goblet and they also turned into complete dogshit.

The Order of Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince games were ambitious. The idea of exploring a 1:1 scale Hogwarts and manually casting spells through analog movements or motion control for Wii were breathtaking for the time

Except that it wasn't actually a fully fledged Hogwarts castle. Not really.

You were exploring a concept of Hogwarts made for the films and mostly based around movie sets/set pieces. Not at all a cohesive castle, and honestly pretty small. Janky as fuck too and unintentionally hilarious at best, completely broken uncanny valley at worst.
