i'm so fucking hyped for this game, sadly the playtest is only 1v1 and i decided to stop borderline wasting my time there with people dcing left and right
>>
>>719403186
You played for almost an entire day.
>>
>>719403324
yeah cus its a great game, but i only ever finished like 2 matches so its better to wait until ea release now
>>
>>719402974
Anything M&M related that isn't made by Jon Van Caneghem can be ignored.
>>
>>719402974
I just want early access already.
I feel we'll get it in around a month or so with the 30 years celebration of the franchise

Let me guess, UE5 unoptimised slop that requires framegen and dllss?

Unity

looks dark and unsaturated

It's on unity. Made by slavs which is the canonically correct choice.

soc is dogshit, imagine trying to make a homm clone with stack limits LOL
>>
>>719402974
Have they updated the sound design? It use to sound like a mobile game from 2009
>>
>>719404046
Then you ain't
>>
>>719406730
Saw a recent video and it's clear some sounds (and music are missing) while others are probably placeholders.

SoC might be the most disappointing game I have ever played
>>
Looks very mid. I don't think making a copy of a game from 1999 which was niche to begin with is going to do very well with the zoomer crowd and pandering to the nominal oldfags never ends well because they don't need a clone of HoMM3, they already have HoMM3, it's called HoMM3. The arstyle is also rather questionable, I guess it's better than the last couple times and the map is clean and readable but the bar is just that low at this point. And if you're pandering to the core crowd then pretending you're setting the game in Jadame then springing the trap with bug inferno and le tentacle horror man factions straight out of heroescommunity.com fanfiction is likely not the way to go. Well I suppose it remains to be seen how it actually feels to play, I refuse to touch closed beta versions. I just fear it's gonna properly bomb just like the rest and then have the dev support cut with anywhere between 0 to 1 content expansions. Again.

Speak for yourself. Some of us want a modern version of the game, with all the quality of life improvements that come with it.
>>
>>719408079
hota is a modern version of homm3, however i suspect this faggot >>719407317 would also cry about it. olden era is different enough from homm3 to be interesting which youd know if you tried the playtest

so it's homm3 but remastered?

>hota is a modern version of homm3
It's still the same game with minor tweaks.
A modern take from me is starting with a blank canvas and then asking yourself what made the series so good and what aspect can we combine to make our own take on it.

>>719408295
No, it's clearly different, even though they're heavily inspired by H3. There are new factions, new units, different progression, etc
>>
>>719408653
>minor tweaks
lol you havent even played it

towns look nice but generally can't stand the art style or the ui
>>
>>719408817
I haven't but I looked at it and that's exactly what it is. They took H3 and added tweaks to it.
I want a reimagining from the ground up: core concepts, combat, units, art style, UI, etc
>>
>>719409159
its amazing how you can declare something with confidence despite having zero experience, and then surprise surprise be completely wrong. average /v/irgin

Ah yes, I'm completely wrong, this is a whole new game

It's literally the same game with some stuff on top, and I don't need to play it to know it: it's clear as day from the video.

It just looks exactly like WoW or a generic mobile game. I'm just so sick of this style by now, every dev studio nowadays is full of lazy fucks allergic to anything remotely realistic. I miss Necropolis that actually looked creepy rather than like kid's cartoon villains
>>
>>719402974
It has gay ass female angels so i wont be buying it

I don't like the cartoony graphic. But I'll give it a try once it's out.

Are they all females angles or is one of the paths male?

it's typical soulless westoid fortnite blizzshit cartoony graphics. it's either that or hyper realistic slop.

You know uh... I don't have too much faith after 4,5,6,7 all sucked huge dick.

it was popularized by westoid devs and shit like pixar movies and now almost everyone copies it.

I dont want Heroes 3 2 I want Heroes V 2 with the Homm3 random map generator. That's it

This game is closer to 5 than 3 mechanically, but the visuals are closer to 3 since it's not fully 3D (thank god)

Paul Romero is a fucking genius.
>>
>>719413082
The Olden Era devs got him recruited to work on the soundtrack.
>>
>>719411984
>>719412025
>>719412661
It runs on toasters.
>>
>>719412313
V is great. 6 is irredeemable dogcrap. 7 is dogcrap but it had some nice ideas, flanking, and the best unit synergy in the series
>>
>>719402974
Never heard of it
>>
>>719413082
if Paul Romero is so good, why is his input after arguably homm4 (i kinda disagree, its not as good as 3) so mediocre?
>>
>>719413146
Hmmm. I'm interested. I don't want to give Ubislop money tho so I'll wait on what the HOMM community thinks about it. Thats a good marketing move.
I really liked the Heroes V 3d artstyle because of the vibrant colors.. It looks like Heroes 2 on 3d.
Best Town presentation in the entire series. Entering the haven town for the first time as a teen and I couldn't believe what I was hearing and watching. Then the story happened and I couldnt believe what I wa seeing and watching but for an entirely different reason.
>>
>>719413638
Ubishits are basically just holding the rights. The game's being worked on by slav devs, who loved III, same as V was back in the day.
>>
>>719413571
Paul Romero could have died after he did the Homm3 soundtrack and he would still be among the best vidya composers who ever lived,like Tim follin, Yuki Kitamura, David Wise, Nobuo Uematsu, etc.
He is still going

>>719413571
4's music is miles better than 3's
>>
>>719402974
something i don't see anyone else mentioning is how important the ai will be. i'm not going to bother 1v1 tryharding in a turn based homm game online. it's always gonna be versus the computer, maybe with hotseat team matches. if the ai is shit or is too slow to move, it'll suck big time, even if the rest of the game is perfect.
>>
>>719413737
It's still giving ubishit money. I'm going to pirate it, only if the community doesnt give it a hard pass. I want ubishit to die so the IP can go to someone that actually cares for it. Sorry for those slav devs but I'm pretty sure the HotA*team would have done better judging from what I see. It looks like it was designed for mobile and repurposed after.
Is this an Enroth game, Axeoth, Ashan? What time line?

It's less different from 3 than 4.
I hope Fedorov pays you per post because you can't be shilling this shit in here for free, can you?

you quoted people saying the game sucks only to scream about culture war shit as if that mattered when the game sucks anyway, get a life you obsessed shitskin
