This is so stupid.
If you want to make a game like heroes of might and magic 3, you can just make another heroes of might and magic.
Like 4, 5, 6, 7 and most recently olden era did.
and If you don't have the IP, then make Songs of Conquest.

You're not capturing any lost 1999 essence by remaking the game, it doesn't have obvious faults that make it hard to play, other than possibly an online client which is already fixed through HotA.
Mechanically it isn't even the same as homm3, so why remake it and not make another homm game, for the story? The story isn't uniquely good. It's fine don't get me wrong, but it's not like anyone is genuinely salivating at the thought of restoration of erathia's story could only get shown properly in 2026.

Cowardly cash grab that I hope blows up in their face.
I hope homm3 players aren't so stupid that they actually pay for this shit.

I hope everyone buys this and the OG homm3 scene dies a painful death

I detest this. They replaced the beautiful, timeless art of pixel graphics with modern slop graphics. You have no soui, if you want to play this.
>>
>>2475449
you are brown btw
>>
>>2475449
HOMM3 never had "pixel graphics". The sprites were shot from 3D models. If you want genuine pixel art, you'll have to go back all the way to HOMM2.

AI slop is the art style of our current era.
In the future - when graphics are generated directly in the brain by Neuralink implants - people will look at AI graphics with the same nostalgia that we view old pixel art today.
>>

"EAT OUR AI SLOP! EAT OUR AI SLOP!"

>>2475415
Because it is, the trailer video and the rest of art are all AI slop. You can see Catherine's lips barely sync with what she says in the video. The in-game part is just the Heroes 5 engine with a Heroes 3 skin duct taped on.

I always wanted a HOMM 5 remaster but now I'm really not sure anymore
>>
>>2475344
Insane how blatant they are with the AI gen. Looks fucking hideous. Like they put town screenshots into their chatbot of choice and just asked it to remaster it.
>>
>>2475876
That's exactly what happened. AI interpreted the centaur stables as having windows so it generated windows and ubijeets approved it, because they're subhumans.
>>
>>2475344
>I hope homm3 players aren't so stupid that they actually pay for this shit.
I got bad news for you
>>
>>2475851
HOMM5 works and looks great as it is. The art style is fantastic and all a remake or remaster would do is butcher the art direction and probably censor things
>>
>>2475344
Remakes only happen because some suit walked in and said "it's literally free money, retards will buy it".
The sad part is that the suit is right.
>>
>>2475344
>and most recently olden era did.
Olden Era thinks HOMM is a hardcore PvP franchise
this one expands on the ideas of the classic games.
>>
>>2475533
Yeah, I disliked the change in graphics between these two games. H2 was colorful and whimsical, while H3 this early CGI look with dull desaturated colors. Then 4 tried to be more colorful but it was rushed and assets looked like plastic.
>>
>>2476001
And that's a good thing.
>>
>>2475415
It's so funny because this was exactly the kind of shit people said about Olden Era. Now we have actual AI for the "remake" and people realize how bad OE could always have been.
>>
>>2475533
Why do crypto/NFT/ now AI niggers always consider their schizophrenia induced hallucinations to be some sort of argument. Every fucking time someone tells them to fuck off with their slop they talk about The Future and how everyone should just lie down and take it because their win came to them in their fucking dream or something.

Nobody plays HoMM3 to dunk on dogshit AI. The only reason HoMM3 is alive is because of the MP.

No, it doesn't. You need a mod if you don't want the AI to take 30 minutes doing their turns.
>>
no game should be balanced around mp

Why do they keep trying?

Can ubisoft just maybe, like, kill themselves?
>>
Absolute garbage visually. UI lifted off a bad Civilization entry. No PAR music is simply a noose and stool kicked out from under it.

Just make this. A 3D visualizer for any map. Procedural. Each walkable 3D square is also a potential battle view. Size - enough to accomodate 14000 troop sprites, so maybe a 4sq miles or so. Castles included. Inaccessible scenery can remain just that - scenery. It is mechanically primitive, not different from square grid RPGs, just blown up in size, and with intra-square FPS mobility. Hexen 1 meeting M&B. Even without any mechanics on this layer it will already be spectacular.

Look at this, imagine there's your army behind you, and that you can ride in front of them clipping their lifted swords with your *Blackshard of the Dead Knight* while you can see enemy army in the distance

>>2475344
The main issue I the graphics, if you wanted to make a proper remake you should make the artwork similar in style to the homm3. Making it look different from the old days is exactly why none of the sequels were quite as popular.

The spritework of homm3 is a a true gem, and any attempt to replicate it with inferior art is simply foolish.
>>
>>2476839
Funny how Homm 3's main criticism was sprite quality when first screenshots appeared. It looked like it really cut a lot of corners on 2D artwork compared to Homm 2 and 1 (it did). It looked exactly like a step between Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Transport Giant. I even remember thinking it wouldn't sell well because of how dull it looked in tiny printed screenshots in a magazine. I was wrong eventually, but it took few hours to adjust, and some sprites were ass for years, until Hota fixed them (the pikeman).

I dont think it will work this time though. There were opulent corners to cut back then, and it was still the time of true enthusiasm for all genres. It made a visual and audio canon of itself. And beside it was the II in the class of its own, and then IV could not compete with the similar pre-rendered 3D, and then the V again made a class for itself (even if it wasnt unique after Etherlords). I think I understand the current business decision better now, they must have said all this in their meetings

The perfect remake...add some terraforming means like disciples or even older AoW, even if it just graphical. That is it.

This technology has been lost to time. Or more precisely, to the gutters of Bangalore.

there are actual gameplay vids on youtube posted by usual shills, it looks like Homm5 remade in UE5 with extra AI filter, utterly tasteless.

>>
>>2477054
Well, it is about time for someone to relearn the lost art, or at least train an AI model to replicate it.
>>
is ubisoft going to announce a heroes 2 or 5 remake next before they go bankrupt?
>>
>>2476380
for music to be ported from 3 both Romero and Rob King must agree and King gets into fury just by hearing word "Ubisoft"
>>2477251
2 would need to keep it's graphics and just needs more content, now 5 remake could be interesting if that would include more maps and better generator
>>
Here's a question. Do you consider rebalancing grossly underpowered factions to be valid under a remake, or does it ruin the spirit of the game?
>>
>>2477672
inferno needs to be rebalanced and have demon farming removed, no reason for one faction to be CBT simulator, hell I'd rather have them gating from h5 in some form even
>>

Holy shit, what a step down.

That looks like 90% close to the original compared to the remake being created by your employer, ubisoft.

Normies hated cause it is made by AI and they get their panties up despite there being good fan work with AI out there. But since Ubisoft made a bare bones and downright offensive remake, those AI vids from fans are "based" and they "always likes fan work".

Those retards may complain but they'll still buy the demake from Ubisoft.
