First impressions - graphics and creatures | Forums

Wow! Generally I like the screenshots. Its nearly enough the kind of realism I was expecting (although I aimed it to be less fairy-like, I'm perfectly fine with it).
The environment is excellent, proves that they've put a great deal of effort on it. What I dont like are the freakin mushrooms. They are too big and too colorful, like exxtasy pills lying arround. No mushroom look like that in reality, even if so oversaturated. Note, its not an innocent detail as it seems, since I imagine a whole bunch of cute-happy cookies like that surprising you on every step.
The hero is perfect, and the banner as well. I can notice that the pic with the hero is in fact the adventure screen, meaning that players will have an absolutely free movement of camera along all the axes, which rocks.

Now, the creatures. Ever since that flying lady with overdimensionalized ***** got out as concept art, I was thinking wtf.. But now seeing that they made it the actual creature, I cant help but wonder where they drew their inspiration for creatures from. Manga, maybe...
The other major creature (the one that fights the "angel") I pray its not a devil, but judging by the honour they made to that poor imp in armours (to fight the ***** lady), I guess its exactly that.
The hell hound with fiery back seems fine. The Nightmare is here. I like him enough. Now, the Gothic chic looks like a Succubus to me. 1 Word: Finally!! Theres also another demon chic in the concept art (when you sign up at the Ubi forum, on the left side), which also looks sexy. And finally one unidentified winged creature on the demons pic. Have no idea what it is.
Oh yeah ,another good news - Kreegans are back!!!

Overall: H5 gets a 4- from me.

PS: And congrats to the Ubi team for taking this legendary game to the next level.

The red one is more-or-less the same creature as the gray one, barring color.

And they all have sheep feet! Now we know why they called their doomsday cult the Temple of Baaaaa. On a more serious note, I hope the plethora of demonic troops means the Kreegan and the Necromancers have parted ways. Their fusion in H4 ruined the feel of the Necropolis.

Out of what, though?

Out of 5 of course, it is Heroes of Might & Magic V, isn't ?

I'm quite impressed with theses screen shots generally. I think the developer has struck a perfect balance between level of detail, preserving the traditional styles, and giving it all a slightly cartoony, fantasy look all its own. the mountains, fairy ring, windmill and farm in the first screen shot were instantly recognizable and brought back happy memories! at the same time, the new hero model is dramatic and well detailed, as are the other units pictured.

i also quite like that slight softness that all teh images have. it makes it all feel a little dreamy and ethereal, which is important for a fantasy game. since it is a 3D effect, I'm sure those who don't like it will be able to toggle it off!

Angels do not have a gender.
After all, nobody said the girl was an angel. It could be a brand new creature.

Ah, so you're thinking they're robots like Escaton, then?

I'm more inclined to believe that they're a separate race, perhaps based on the designs for humans

Oh, and if you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, you probably shouldn't discuss what to do and not to do with creatures in a heroes game.

Or, what about humans based on the desings of an angel

I know a lot of people disagree with me on this, but I wish they would keep the same look for Angels as they had in HOMM4.

eye candy is nothing..

heroes3 rules because of gameplay! it is easiest my most played game till now,and still going!

heroes4 also have nice graphic but sadly so lame

Did anyone think that on the first pic with the mounted knight could be within Castle grounds? and not the adventure map?
