Ubisoft Limited Edition HOMM3 and HOMM4?

[Aphelean]

Ok I just noticed this.


Limited Edition Content:
* Unique In-Game content including a unique Hero Aura.
* Entire game on 1 DVD. Also includes Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and 4.
* Official Sountrack
* Special artwork and illustrations
Also includes Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and 4??

Ok my question is are these redone under the Ubisoft brand?

And if this is so, could this mean that it could possibly include multiplayer across Ubi.com? In the same way that HOMM5 has?

Do you think Ubisoft is planning a suprise with the included HOMM3 and 4 to allow us to play these two wonderful games on their Ubi.com service within each game?

This would explain the recent removal of HOMM3 support on the Zone.com

Anyone have any more info about these?

Maybe they will also some time in the future, re-release HOMM3 and HOMM4 with Ubisoft brand for the people that miss out on the Limited Edition CDs.

Wouldn't that be great? Playing these classics with an integrated multiplayer option over Ubi.com?

Anyone have any more info on this??

i doubt they were redone in any way. they prolly just going to pack the original ones...

anyway, there wasnt any statement about this.

They're only remastered to be XP-compatible.

I'm not sure what you mean by branded, but Ubisoft bought all the rights of the M&M brand, and Heroes games are being sold under the Ubi brand for quite a while in shops.

However, I wonder if there is more to this. Perhaps multiplayer support across Ubi.com as well? Maybe I shouldn't press my luck.

Just pre-ordered one, I want to check these remastered CDs out. See if there is anything more about them.

Does this mean that it is the main game, plus expansions? I have Heroes 4, and one expansion, and would love to get the other especially if they are all together. Anyone know if this means it is the whole game (all expansions)?

[Shin_Battousai]

While i'm having trouble finding the actual post, i'm pretty certain it was said that it's just the original HoMM 3 and 4 games, ie. no expansions

[Sunjah]

That would be very odd to me. Why bother to use the term COMPLETE GAME if it is not the complete game (e.g.- game of the year edition or some nonsense which has all expansions).

I mean, it is pretty silly to use that term if that's all it is. What is the alternative...PARTIAL GAME? I have never seen that before.

Thanks for your response, and I appreciate it, I hope it doesn't sound as though I am unhappy by your responding. I am just a little frustrated that I have read about 50 press releases, all of them citing it is the COPMLETE forms of 3 and 4, but no word on if that includes expansions or not.

{why "COMPLETE" if they are not making it complete...that is just silly}

[Shin_Battousai]

I guess they use complete to signify that it's not a demo, and no it doesn't sound like you're unhappy with me and i certainly do find their decision to just include the original games. Though i don't recall them using the word "complete" for the US limited edition which has HOMM 3 and 4(perhaps you could post your source), though i have seen it used for the European edition(eg. super collector's edition) which has the "Heroes of Might and Magic II complete game".
