Will apparently come out during Q2. Trailers make it very reminiscent of HOMM3 but in 3D and with two upgrade paths for each unit.

>still being published by UbishitHard pass until it's clearly proven not to be garbage.
>>1922557Probably not. This design of game has aged horribly but Slavs refuse to move on. Also if >>1922571 is true then that's the nail in the coffin for me.
>>1922557I hate the cartoony graphics.
>>1922557Nope. Looks like a mobile game which puts me off immediately.
Looks nice, music confirmed to be god tier, back to the roots. Also I love Ubisoft games, so yes.

And big part of why it was so shite was because it took itself 200% serious
>>1922557sure i will pirate the game if its good
>>1922852Those ARE cartoon graphics, you dumb faggot. Literally hand-drawn over 3D models.>b-but they aren't like mid-10s stuffThanks for making it clear you are a literal zoomer and your refenrece base is 2005-2010

>>1923042>Point>(You)Stay mad with your madness over "cartoony" graphicsHere, grab 5, the game all zoomers love. Now that's the epitome of realistic design!
>>1923042I don't think you have mental capacity to grasp what's going on, so let it be spelled out for you:You are being mocked over your ridiculous claim, in the process being also proven wrong.You can now frot your mouth some more about "ThOsE wErE nOt ReAl CaRtOoN gRaPhIx!"
>>1923037>Being this madso mad YOU (You) go on for several posts supporting your non-thesis? You're literally seething at the edge of your seat, kek.Where did I say homm3 is "manly" or "serious" or "realistic"? I said it isn't cartoony. Because it isn't.Pic related is goofy cartoony shit. Look how comically angry that skeleton is with his facial expression and glowing eyes, why? He's just a skeleton. Compare that to homm3 skeleton - it's just a skeleton with a normal human skull, no expression. Because it's not a cartoon, unlike olden era dogshit.So before you post some irrelevant pictures at me, consider the fact that you're just simply wrong.
>>1923045>You are being mocked over your ridiculous claim,My only post in this thread is the one saying there's nothing wrong with these graphics, because there's nothing wrong with these graphics.

>>1923434I hear it used every now and again. It's pretty much limited to things like reviews and maybe talking about sports stars/teams.
>>1923434This "return to form" phrase became a meme since this was used repeatedly by the hundreds of AI written bot reviews of Dragon Age: The Veilguard that reviewed Veilguard game positively in order to manipulate and distort Game review scores on the gaming site KOTAKU. Despite that it was blatantly obvious to pretty much anyone that all of these reviews were written and posted by the same AI in the dozens.You can look it up.
>>1923467>source: my ass
>>1923475>Look it up
>>1922557Very much on the fence. The towns pretty bad and plastic-y, and the units are a mixed bag - some of them look okay, but some of them fall into the awful overdesigned WoW-type stuff. I'm keeping an eye on it for sure, but at the moment I'd say I'm more pessimistic than optimistic at this point. Also no Stronghold, and published by Ubishit, which are big marks against.

>>19225573's simps are seething, but I love the mixture of 3's and 5's artstyles in the 2.5D environment.What I don't like is flat "modern" sound design and unit design that they did themselves. Every unit copied from NWC and Nival looks sick. But units designed by Unfrozen look like just generic lackluster fantasy placeholder №234.I wish they weren't doing this amateur performance and concentrated on making a literal carbon copy of 3+5. Then, if they succeeded, they could add their own stuff, hopefully better looking than right now, into the next game.
>>1922860>different words>>1923434Yes it is normalIt is not normal for 80% of company reviews and individuals to use that exact line on a media's release
>>1923696>No need to be an angry retard about it.And yet you are.
>>1922557Ubisoft will never get a single cent from me again. Probably not even gonna pirate it. Homm3 is as good as it gets otherwise disciples 2 for Warhammer flavor.

>>1930677it literally is made by ubiniggers though. You don't license IPs and then do 0 supervision and game direction, that's not how the world works retard-kun
>>1930682It is quite literally not made by ubiniggers, retarded zoomer. And the devs (the actual ones, not the imaginary ubiniggers that you believe are making this game) already said that ubiniggers supervise very few aspects of it: they only mentioned music and artstyle.Pull the rentfree ubishit buttplug out of your hurt rectum before you type the next response, retarded zoomer.
I hope JVC buys back Might and Magic after Ubisoft tanks.

>>1930768Every single good thing that happened to Heroes franchise after the summer 2001 was done by Russians.

>>1930687>The devs saidNobody would possibly lie on the internet
>>1930822Especially not a bullied by ubiniggers faggot zoomer like you.Sure it's the Russian devs who are Heroes fans, who read the fan feedback and act on it and whose first move after the announcement was to give interview not to some faggot IGN or kotaku or whatever, but to Heroes 3 streamers -- sure it's they who are lying.Fuck off, retard bitch zoomer, lol.
>>1930823Ubisoft owns the IP dude. Having skepticism is healthy, especially when Ubisoft almost killed the heroes franchise. You write like a deranged schizo and you aren't convincing anyone to try out the game.

>>1930837Convincing? Where do you think you are, zoomer, on reddit or in youtube comment section? Eat shit and drink bleach, faggot nigger. Nobody gives a fuck about your rentfree ubishit obsession. They're not the developer, and if you're a faggot bullied by a rentfree ubinigger buttplug up yiour ass because you couldn't hold yourself from preordering some of their shitty games, this is not a reason for everybody to project your reality on this game developed by Russian Heroes fans.Fuck.Off.

>>1931292This is the most convincing way to piss everyone off. I love our glorious trolls.

>>1934388is it me or the graphics lacks contrast compered to homm3? I know they are trying to make a new game not a clone but even for unrelated release everything seems so dim to me.

>>1923059the OE skeleton looks much better
>>1934911anon that's a direct comparison of olden era skeleton design to a world of warcraft undead design. Talentless, uninspired olden era devs just copied the wow design 1:1. The game is dogshit and dead on arrival. The devs have no original thought to the entire game.

Keep seething.
>>1935081Why would you play HOMM 2 or 3 instead of 1?
>>1935285why are you squealing, bitchfaggot zoomer? I don't need to compare the whole model, I just know you're a cocksucking faggot who got raped by daddy for the entirety of his childhood. Let me repeat, why are you squealing? And why are you such a bitchfaggot zoomer?
>broken bot
did ubisoft run out of bot money we're on page 10 lmfao
>>1938930Even if they run out of money they will live forever rent free in your butthurt retarded nigger rectum.
this retard sperging about the developers are fans being only loosely supervised by Ubisoft and therefore the game is gonna be great is depressingly stupid.
>>1941602Oh look, it's the retarded zoomer that got his rectum maimed by a rentfree ubifaggot buttplug, LMAO. Tome fore another round of "I'm so sorry I bought every ubinigger game in the last 15 years, now this non-ubishit game must fail".
>>1941639Why are you squealing, bitchfaggot zoomer?
Much like the game, this thread looks like dog shit desu senpai. I'll likely give the game a try but I'm not expecting much, 3 and 5 are my favourites and that's unlikely to change but this might be a fun romp for a bit.
>>19418305 is dogshit. HOTA and nothing else, but I am looking forward to play Olden Era.
>>1941830i'm gonna give it a try as well but here's one coin to the jar of "this ubisoft dickrider is gonna kill himself this year"
game looks like a middleroad between 3 and 5I dont like the 'big' units getting reduced in scale to fit in a single hex desu
>>1922557>but in 3Dthey already failed
>>1922693Nigga, the series started like this.Olden is still several magnitudes away from how cartoony HoMM can be.
>>1948240>Sovl
>>1948240Why must hom1 look scary lol
>>1948147Homm 5 cities were cool tho
>>1948527they all looked gay and stupid tho
>>1948405Damn right.Wish they had kept that children book aesthetic instead of trying to get dark and serious.HoMM2 was such a disappointment in that regard. The overworld is still nice but the towns and units were so fucking meh.
>>1948692Any examples of this style looking good in modern games?
>>1948684Retarded zoomer fag, LMAO
>>1948706Its actually quite difficult to find this style in modern day games. With the lack of spritebased work and reliance upon 3D models even if one could its actually quite difficult.
I can only view it as a win-win, if the game is good, then we finally get another good MM game. If the game sucks ass, then its another failure for those soulless French cunts.
>>1935298Not acknowledging the outright supremacy of H3 is peak contrarianism. H1 and 2 are legitametly great, but H3 was so good the devs collectively lost their minds and nuked the entire universe rather than make a direct sequel. Could've all been avoided if Armageddon's Blade had a minimum INT requirement to wield it.
>>1923557>World of Warcraft and its consequences have been disastrous for gaming.Hard agree.
>>1948706Pretty sure there isn't.Closest would be other old 2D games from that thin time period during which color palettes & resolution opened up but before 3D & full colors became the default.Jazz JackRabbit 1, Whacky Wheels, Dr Riptide, etc... (Although HoMM1 is miles above those).They just don't really do that specific type of cartoony anymore.
>>1948791It wasn't so much H3 as it was the Devs desperately trying to figure out how to tie M&M and HOMM together properly without the slavs bitching about "Muh Technology" and just finally giving up and blowing it all up to make a new homm universe.
>>19487915 > 3. Deal with it.
>>19488465 > 3 so much Olden Era is being made in the image of 5 and not 3... right??? RIGHT??? How else is your statement true?
>>1948758Why are you squealing, bitchfaggot zoomer?
>>1948876OE is specifically stated as being made in the image of both 3 and 5, retard. But 5 mogs the shit out of 3 with the skillwheel alone, not even talking about something like unit upgrades or racial abilities. Calm down, you absolute fucking clown.
>>1948898>OE is specifically stated as being made in the image of both 3 and 5, retard.sure, retard. All those hexes of 5, retard.
Olden Era more like Old Age this genre is dead
I really dont like one-hex large units desu Death knight looks like a dwarfism afflicted skelman riding a pony
>>1948992>But we feel that when working with a legend like HoMM — a franchise that’s been on a hiatus for a while — the first and foremost goal is to ensure a core that is faithful to the series’ DNA. So we started with analyzing the systems of our own favourites from the franchise (namely H3, 5, and to some extent 2) and thinking about how we could make them deeper while preserving the core.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3105440/view/4266684471815155307Why are you such a drooling imbecile, you absolute bitch fuckface faggot? Why are you such a little squealing bitch?
Is it really in 3D? Didn't people got sick of Heroes like games in 3D since HoM&M5? Its probably the reason Songs of Conquest got popular. Their only problem was a shitty map and writing
>>1949085Because in 3d you can churn out endless warcraft knockoffs for peanuts
>>1949085>Didn't people got sick of Heroes like games in 3D since HoM&M5?How would a zoomer retard who wasn't even born in 2005 know about people's opinion on "3D in Heroes-like games".>ts probably the reason Songs of Conquest got popularThe reason this shit got any attention is that it's a shitty eyesore pixelart hipster bait. It is specifically designed to target an audience of faggots who would munch on any wannabe retro thing out there. Except they miss the reason why games like Heroes 3 look so marvelous. And the gameplay is also shit and flat.Now, let's check what's more popular, the eyesore SoC trash, or games like Age of Wonders III, IV, Platenfall, and Endless Legend? Hipster pixelfags need not apply.
>>1948846>>1948876>5 > 3
>>1949080too bad people play HotA and nobody plays Homm5, bitchfaggot zoomer. Squeal some more, zoomie bitchfag. Fucking child. You weren't even alive for 3 that's why you're seething so much.
>>1949229This is like the 3rd thread in a row where your sorry PvPnigger zoomer faggot ass if continuously triggered by the fact that 3 and 5 are acknowledged as the best installations in the whole series. I think by the time OE releases your incinerated faggot zoomer rectum will be in tatters.And it's no wonder really, you're probably not even from Easter Europe, bitchface zoomer.
>>1949255>3 and 5 are acknowledged as the best installations in the whole seriesBy whom? 3 is the best like miles away from all the rest. And I know a lot of people love 2 and 4, as well as 5. But 3 is by far more loved.
>>1949280By everybody, including the devs of the new game. 3 and 5 are by far more popular than all other Heroes games combined. 5 has better skill system, better unit upgrades and abilities, better towns, better magic, has alternative upgrades and special town racials. Hero progression and army composition is way deeper and more interesting in 5.The only reasons people play 3 so much today is the HotA fan addon trying to fix the shit skills in 3 and releasing with easy to access free online servers, and the fact that ubiniggers love shutting down online servers in the games they own.
>>1949295I don't like 5, it's clunky, shitty looking, crappy, worse music. Fuck this game.
>>1922557I'll play it when it comes out but I will also be sad since that means ubisoft still aren't dead if they exist to publish it, and it may even let them live another year
>>1949308The music in 5 is supreme. Except for the earraping combat music which is so loud I have been driven to replace all the files with those of the overworld
>>1949329No 5, is just an ok game that's not really good to play. WAY to clunky and ugly, meanwhile I enjoy playing hota very much.
>>1949295>5 has better skill system, better unit upgrades and abilities, better towns, better magic
>>1949255everybody shits on your retarded underage opinion, bitchfag zoomer. That's because you're a squealing wrong bitch, zoomerfag.
>>1949342>>1949344Aww, look, the butthurt fagface bitch zoomer is squealing again. What's it, faggot bitch, still upset everybody and the devs know that skillwheel shits on 3's half-baked skills? Or are you still squealing because you admitted that you were too fucking retarded to figure out how skills work in 5? Keep your faggot trap shut, faggot shitface, you're not just a zoomer cuck, you're also not even Eastern European. Bitch zoomzoom cuck, LMAO
>>1949295>HotA fan addon trying to fix the shit skills in 3they broke shit so they could play a neutered version where they can permanently hide from skills they don't like
>>1949295Heroes in 5 are bad without the mod
>>1949482You mean that botched 5.5 shit that balances the fun out of the game and turns the cool intertwined skillwheel into a dumbed down straightforward list for crayon-eating retards who struggled with the original one? LOL, nah.It's a good QoL mod, but it balances the fun out of the game and dumbs it down.
>>1949449Shit was already broken in 3, the issue with HotA is that together with fixing the actual objective garbage they "fixed" a lot o other stuff that was completely fine. Case in point: changing Eagle Eye and First Aid vs removing Galthran and replacing Resistance with Interference.
>>1949547Nah, it makes building heroes fun. In the original it just feels like you're shooting yourself in the foot if you don't go for the singular best thing.
>>1949388You're such an underage b& bitchfaggot zoomer, jesus christ. Just shut the fuck up already.Everyone in the world agrees 3 is better and more popular than 5 in every fucking way, you squealing cuck zoomer bitchface faggot. You haven't even played 3, that's why you're such a squealing zoomer bitch. One HotA session would cure your ignorant retardation.
>>1949655No, it does not. No hero needs to go for his respective ultimate skill to feel good to play and be adequate in combat. Yeah, Rage of the Elements is good, but quad fire ballista plus empathy is way easier to reach. The skill wheel gives you a multitude of viable options to build your character. While 5.5 is overbalanced and removes the fun of combining different skills to get certain abilities.And 3's system is just stale shit where your hero is crap if he didn't roll Offense and Earth Magic. HotA 1.7.2 is the first time when anyone tried to actually do comething adequate to fix that. Just took 1/4th a cwentury, and then that bitch loser zoomer faggot above this post is butthurt that 5 was more popular than 3, lol.
>>1949670Didn't read your squeals, zoomer bitchloser faggotface cuck. Squeal some more, PvPnigger lobby fag. Your tears about OE being based on 3 and 5 are delicious, LMAO
>>1950022LMAO, underage bitchfaggot zoomer. Stop posting already. Nobody cares about homm5, people only care about 3, that's why olden era looks like world of warcraft bootleg homm 3. Squeal some more, kid.
>>1950132>Squeals like a bitch because the devs are making the new game in the image of 3 and 5>Admitted he was too much of a retarded nigger to figure out skillwheel>Isn't even Eastern European, just some feggot wectoid yroshitZoomer fag on suicide watch, LMAOOO
