The news of the Heroes of Might and Magic V announcement are everywhere on the Internet, and the reactions are generally positive. Check out the discussions on Evil Avatar, Voodoo Extreme, and Shack News, and of course the Round Table. People are hoping Heroes V will be more like III and less like IV, for obvious reasons. There are some concerns about the shift to a 3D engine, but was it even an option with today's expectations for a game? People are also wondering whether the screenshots are gameplay shots, cinematics or mockups. I would definitely bet on the first option.
