Heroes V

[DarkCloud]

Well, new news today- heroes V was announced and some screenshots have surfaced at this site:

it is supposed to be another "big departure" for the series. Frankly, I am looking forward to it; it seems as though it might be a good game a-la Heroes III instead of Heroes IV ! Although it has kept HIV's graphical style

the screenshots aren't much, but this is a good homm site!!! (on first sight anyway)

Btw what's the plastic toy look? i don't remember one in homm3

Bah, it looks like an expensive ripoff of Warlords IV.

Screenshots don't seem to work.

Makes the site look pretty unofficial, yes?

St Leo- especially since Warlords is made with such a small budget, by such a small studio

Just right click and tell it to SHOW PICTURE if the screenshots don't work.

Plastic toy look? Is that related to HIV?
Sorry but I didn't understand your statement?

The screenshots look good! I don't know if they are much better than the forth in the series, since I haven't tried any of the games after number three. Is there any notable difference?

I think he means this statement from the web-site:

Art-wise, we've done away with the "plastic toy" look of the cities and towns, as is evident in this shot of the Undead capital

Heh, I think DC should use different abbreviations. I was guessing he means HoMM IV, not HIV.

[DarkCloud]

Oh I see.

Well, actually , I think the graphics between H4 and H5 only differ in that H5's look a bit grittier for the cities... and their images of units seem a bit sharper.

all I can hope is that the gameplay of 5 will be excellent!

thank you for the clarifier vovansim !

...what on earth we're you thinking, DarkC?

[DarkCloud]

I dont know- I got confused... I thought you got confused... etc.

Taht's why I started using H4 in my post above... to avoid that unseemlienss in the future.
