Here it goes. http://might-and-magic.ubi.com/universe/en-gb/games/all-games/might-and-magic-heroes-3-hd/index.aspx Available on Steam now to pre-purchase. Soooo excited!!!
hehe one of the last good HoMM games. Could still look for that CD, it's got to be around here somewhere
well, I still have the first 3 HoMM games on physical discs, the rest of the series on my HDD. A HD Edition of the best game in the series is just a tempting prospect though.
HoMM II was a fine game too, so was the original. HoMM3 seems to be the most popular though. Either way, the first 3 games were amazing. And it's nice to see a remake of either one of them.
They are all great games, but something had happened after III... and it was not good. And I am not convinced that it's the fault of HoMM design, I am thinking we have changed, the audience. Grew up maybe. For instance do I meet with my gang and are we playing Hot Seat. Nope. Is that due to HoMM design. Nope, nothing to with that. Same for SP. You have to have a healthy amount of free time for this kind of game (or any strategy game) to work.
To that idea that would mean that we, the ones who grew up, would not like HoMM 1-3 still, but...we do...so..?
Well, on my side, I find time to game, so I could technically play it once again. It's just I don't pay those 15$/€ for a simple resolution upgrade, that's a bit too much. I started with HoMM2, then played the first, then this one, and then I made the mistake to buy the 6th part of the series. Oh boy, I was so disappointed...
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/108270 They did a really great job redrawing the original art without changing the tone and style.
I wouldn't say it's "just a resolution upgrade" The screenshots and video showing what they did shows that it's not, however, the thing i'm interested in seeing is...they said it'll come with steamworks, i'm wondering if that means the workshop, aka, maps and campaigns, if it comes with the steamworks workshop, may become popular again and we may see new maps and etc. being made
