JVC Leaves Trion
Technically the Round Table forums are an okay place for posting wishes for Heroes 6. The problem I see is that simply starting a couple of threads in the Heroes 5 forum or any other game specific forum would not only be out of place but also way too ordinary. I understand that the implementation of...

JVC Leaves Trion
I second this. It's a great idea! It's also what the CH staff might be looking for in terms of site activity. Let's start a large, well-structured wish list which is easily accessible from the front page. --- Speaking of activity: I'm thinking about setting up an online petition requesting JVC's ret...

JVC Leaves Trion
Of course NWC consisted of many other talented people – among them also artists like Bonita Long-Hemsath and Phelan Sykes, and let's not forget about Rob King and Paul Romero whose music gave the Heroes games great mood and atmosphere. But while the personnel changed quite a bit from King's Bounty t...

JVC Leaves Trion
vitirr, why do you think that JVC wouldn't know how to bring the Heroes series (and the M&M series for that matter) back to its former glory? – Because he is some years older? – Because things didn't work out for him at two MMO companies? These things don't matter at all! What matters is that th...

I agree, we should be optimistic. Instead of turning to similar games though, I decided to set up a Round Table poll regarding this discussion.

The JVC Poll
Now that Jon Van Caneghem left Trion, he *might* be available to work on future Heroes and M&M games. Of course, we don't know whether he is interested or not; the only one who knows that is the man himself. However, I think it's very interesting to see what the M&M community thinks of this ...

JVC Leaves Trion
You say "won't ever get to" -- the key question, however, is if he *wants* to. In that case it would only be reasonable for Ubisoft to hire him in a leading design position.

JVC Leaves Trion
While I agree, Angelspit, that boredom or the need for work shouldn't be the basis for hiring a new designer, we are talking about the series' originator here and the person majorily responsible for the best Heroes and the best M&M games; and I strongly believe JVC isn't bored by his very succes...

JVC Leaves Trion
I agree, UndeadHalfOrc, this is the opportunity for Ubisoft to resurrect Heroes and the entire Might and Magic game universe! If hired by Ubisoft, JVC could also finally develop Might and Magic Online -- which he wanted to do 10 years ago. I only hope JVC doesn't think about retiring now. It's way t...

No Love for Elements
I think that Dark Messiah is probably the best fantasy action game, one of the very best 3D action games in general and definitely a better role-playing game than most so called role-playing games (counting the "Elder Scrolls" series mentioned in the article). It offers the most convincing...

Dark Messiah Elements Demo
Well... Doesn't look too dreadful, does it? And the font used in the top left and top right corners is way better than the annoying italic font they put in the release version -- makes reading harder. Is it only me or does Isabel look better in this screenie? ;) Edited on Sat, Dec 22 2007, 07:58 by ...

You don't like Dark Messiah, Angelspit? :) Personally, I find it highly enjoyable, and I have no problem at all with its mild levels of violence and nudity. However, I still agree that UbiSoft spoiled our beloved series -- NOT by publishing Dark Messiah though... I think UbiSoft's real major fault i...

Differences between European English and US voice acting?
After waiting a long time, I'm now finally inclined to buy Heroes V -- the European "Silver Edition" (containing both the basic game and the expansion). As the European edition is -- reportedly -- multi-lingual I'm planning to install the English language version (having no faith at all in...

Worlds of M&M Coming?
Developing an online title based on the Might and Magic games surely would have been a great idea back in 2000 -- when the series was still alive. On the other hand... There are still people playing the old RPGs (at least VI to IX) and a lot of others remember them dearly (including myself). So, if ...

An Elf by Olivier Ledroit
Oliver is -- no doubt -- a great artist, but I simply don't like this new fantasy style that has found it's way into gaming art; it seems like every modern character looks slightly manga, is covered with tattos and emblazonments, and wears strange and questionable armor pieces... At least, this part...

Q&A with Arkane
# We had no contact with Nival, because both games are really different
# and sharing our ideas wasn’t really a priority in this regard.
So, what ties Heroes V and Dark Messiah together? -- That's right, the name "Might and Magic"... This policy seems mysteriously familiar...

Tam Avlee, the Holy Griffin Empire, Palaedra, and Kreegar -- OMG... I thought Ubisoft had decided to create a completely new setting from scratch... Why then these obvious references? To make veteran gamers forget that Ubisoft really has no clue about what was going on in the previous games, to proo...
