Taking a wait and see.
Heroes 5 is a very good game, particularly with this awesome resource: http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes5/game_manuals.shtml

I really wish they would go back to 2D graphics, from what I played of 5 the 3D didn't add to the strategy at all and only made the maps more of a chore to navigate. Also they need to go back to a hex-based battle screen, the square based system in 5 was crap. And WTF is up with only 3 types of resources? Not liking the look of this at all

They're good at taking old formula and just putting new paint on it. Mark of Chaos was bassicaly a graphical refresh of Dark Omen, the problem was that little subgenre has moved a lot since then. Still...I enjoyed it and love the way HoMM VI looks, a lot more gritty and realistic than no.5, quite similiar to Mark of Chaos actualy, only with more detail.Bossman said:

Graphics look barely better than HOMM5.

Most complains can be summed up as "bu..bu...it's Heroes-like" and the fact that the hardcore fans played the russian release, which was a complete mess techicaly. The english version is a lot better, not just technicaly, but they also added local multi and map maker for example.Minsc said:
And the art style owns, hardcore fans might complain, but they just whine.. They bash the changes in designs, but plent of them are for the better. For example Bethrezen actually looks like tortured creature and fallen angel now, while in previous games he looked like Diablo on steroids (typical huge muscled devil)

Yea, it looks a lot better than V. There's more height variation to objects, there's more colors (hard to believe, V did not lack color), and the units look to have about 4x the polygon count. The screens are sorely missing AA, add that in, and you have a great looking TBS.
Resource removal has me a little worried, but perhaps it will streamline it a bit more. We'll see.
I guarantee that aside from HoMM II, HoMM V will forever be the game closest to III, so if you want to write V off, then you're going to hate any future releases as well, they'll be even less like III than V is (though I guess you might be able to make an argument that I is more like III than V, but I'm not sure).
While that would be interesting/promising...I'm pretty sure they're working on the next hopeless MMO.V_Ben said:
Shit, Black Hole Entertainment. Not much of a step up from the HoMM5 developer. :\ Combat looks basic as ever.
I doubt Ubisoft will ever give this to a top-tier developer

I really need to give V more of a chance, honestly. If not, maybe VI can beat the jaded cynic that hates change out of me. I don't know. I dabbled in Tribes of the East around the same time I was getting into the King's Bounty games. Plus, I still play Heroes 3 regularly to this day. Given that, I've never given V the proper opportunity to win over my heart.Minsc said:

The right art style is there, the atmosphere.. looks like it may well be there, although we'd have to see some evil terrain to really know, but this could be a winner if it's balanced well. I want to be terribly excited about this, because it looks like a return to the HOMM 2/3 form. Where it will make or break itself will be in the details; it needs lots of factions, hopefully six at the least, diverse terrain, diverse units which are not broken, and excellent sound/music.
Hope they bring back the necromancers of Deyja.
Oh! and also, I really hope they bring back developing huge towns with different structures, if I recall correctly in 5 you just added little bits to your towers, which wasn't particularly compelling.

From that IGN article butsomuch posted:
I don't know if I follow this. I mean, are these generic template towns with no structures that can be built into anything, or do they mean that if I encounter a Castle (or Haven or whatever they call it now) town as my Necromancer, I can say "I have no need for these troops in my army" and convert it into a Necromancer town?

Awesome!
I loved HoMM2 and 3, and I've been playing a lot of King's Bounty the last couple of months. I also picked up HoMM5 during a Steam sale, but have yet to play it much.

More Heroes = biggest win for 2011, bigger than Diablo 3 or anything else
Less Resources = fuck you, give me back my resources!

Saw this listed as being up for release at the end of May on Steam (under the title Might & Magic Heroes 6)... Any more info out there yet? Edit: Apparently its coming out in June...
Another edit: Watched the trailer (at mmh6.com).. with no gameplay shots at all... That's not how to sell me on a game, guys... some of the other stuff on the site is a little better though.

Aside from the 1GB of video memory for the recommended settings, the rest sounds pretty standard:
It's kinda funny they don't even list a GPU requirement other than RAM, probably scale down pretty well? Heroes V ran very well on older hardware imo.
This reminds me I still have to play Disciples 3 too.

Words can't describe how excited I am about this. HofM&M3 was seriously my favorite single-player strategy game of all time. The demo by itself gave me hours of enjoyment and then I plunked down the cash to buy the full game and lost countless 100's of hours of my childhood to it.
Going to be a Day 1 Buy for me

I absolutely LOVED Hereos III, but never could get into Hereos V due to the incredibly slowed down gameplay + some pretty negative UI and gameplay choices that I disagree with (poor artifact system, less charm to the towns, horrible UI, atrocious cutscenes, etc.). However, after catching some videos on VI, there's a glimmer of hope that it might make me forget V altogether. Does anyone have some concrete info on this game? I couldn't seem to come across anywhere that lists the gameplay features.
