Fabrice's Career Move

[Angelspit]

Fabrice said a couple of months ago:

"To conclude this message, I have an announcement to make. I am leaving the position of Heroes of Might & Magic producer. Erwan le Breton will now be in charge of the project, he produced Tribes of the East. He has more than a patch plan to manage, dont worry Wink I will also be not too far from the action, as I'll continue (exclusively, from now on) working on Heroes Kingdoms, the webbased version with thousands of players."

That was a bit of a surprise for me. I understand the craze about web-based games and the new kind of gameplay they provide, but to me the real Heroes games remain the most prestigious projects. Especially with Heroes VI which will arguably contain more innovation than its predecessor.

What do you think, and which project would you have chosen if you were in Fabrice's shoes?

[Asheera]

I would choose H6, it's a lot more interesting. Although the web-based games have their 'charm' as well

Well, officially Heroes VI hasn't even been announced so for general knowledge Fabrice might have simply moved to work on another project after H5 was done. But since we all believe that H6 will be for sure...Personally I was surprised about the change but I don't know what I'd choose - Fabrice knows better all the circumstances.

Looks to me you left out the most important consideration: how he rates his cooperation with Nival and his chances for a success of VI.

[Angelspit]

Yes, but I didn't really want to speculate about his motivations. It's probably a long story, "trust" me.

[darknessfood]

I would go for H6, that is a WAY bigger project, for gamers and Ubi...

h6. A childhood dream

One thing is clear since Erwan was nearly the ToE producer, and that's he managed to force Nival making a "good" job. On that case, I guess Fabrice was right about moving to a minor project. If Nival is finally the Heroes VI developer, we'll see if Erwan is able to do a good job from the start, or if Nival is the real cancer of Heroes franchise.
