Is it just me or does that helmet look like Boba Fett's?

Heh... CDProjekt rocks :]



This box is lovely... I'm glad, they've decreased the size of the wings on his helmet :) (in comparison to the wallpapers)

I'm going to pre-order it on monday :)



I love CDP for HoMM3 and cool website with lots of discounts in its on-line shop.

Also, they're making the Witcher :D

That's way better news.



I thought for a second that only owners of extremely advanced and state-of-art of tech hardware had the ability to play this truly awesomely retouched CGI graphics engine, for a strategy title that is.



Wonder what are the video card chipsets that could play these extremely refined CGI 3D graphics.



Anyone could make a list of these V-cards? Since I might have to plan to replace my aging 128megs V-card.



To KI, you're right, it does look like Bobba Fett's face plate of a helmet. I really do hope Ubi Canada/United-States get the same pictural onto North-America's general shipments. It might even get the attention of the Star Wars fans and non-players of HoMM games.



Excellent research and reporting onto A's article pic. picks carosh.

Keep up the good work, you might even get many new reliable contacts for your next HoMMV researches.

Cool boxart! Lol yeah it looks like Boba Fetts (Boba is with only one B! =) helmet, but as said maybe that attracts new HOMM fans and SW fans alike.



Just a (lame) question I have a 16x speed DVD rom drive, and I wonder should I buy the DVD or CD version, most of my games are CD so just in case what is best?

I don't know if there's any ups and downs with the CD/DVD thing. I just know that I'm going to like the DVD-version better, since there probably only will be one disc.



Anyway, the box is really nice, and I hope that that'll be the final version... Imagine having that in your collection!

@Orfinn:



the dvd version will most most most most likely be ONE disc.

and 16x DVD should be more or less equivalent to 52x CD. and I can't think of a single game that requires a 52x CD.



I would have gone with the DVD version but I have no idea which disc will last the longest time. this will be especially important since you probably won't be able to make your own backups.

Let's just hope it doesn't attract any Geoge Lucas lawsuits...



@ Orfinn: Fixed now. :)

I still think it's just some fan-created box-art. I'd be shocked if that's Ubisoft's official box art.

@Arzang

You can make a backup of your dvd just as easely or just as hard as with the cd, its the same protection. Plus a dvd is just one disc, it would be more annoying if one of the 5 cd's (just a wild guess) would be scratched, more change to it as well(since more discs)

@carosh, Marcus333, Arzang, sisko.



Thanks for the tips, yeah I think i'll go for the DVD version, my disc briefcase is almost full, so less discs save space =)

@sisko



I was referring to starforce, not the actual format. whether starforce will damage your PC our not I think the biggest hassle will be using the actual disc to play. I'd rather play without a disc and keep the boxes and everything stored nicely some place else.

I just got the word. It's an official box-shot. It's not final, but it IS official and not fan-created. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads-up.

Yes, I'm quite surprised that they'd even started designing the box art this early. Not to mention that it got leaked already. But regardless, it's still not final.
