Wow! check out these screenies on GameSpot. It's a huge departure from the graphics in previous Heroes titles. It's coming out in Q1 2006.

Somehow it feels like a 3D RPG game to me...

Battlefield 2, Age of Empires 3, Civilization 4, Heroes of Might and Magic 5... My prospects for university dont look good ;) :D
Game looks nice.

Found a full screenshot of the above image:

Looks very nice indeed!!!

"3D RPG" is what came to mind for me too.
REALLY curious as to how the bleep this is going to work, but it looks like they've screwed up.
(played HoMM1 and 2, which were good)

Woo finally! :D Me and a friend have been playing HOMM4 for a long time now, this is very good news, looks wonderful too! :) Q1 2006 though.. :( Well, I've got WoW to keep me busy til then. :p

Very nice indeed..! :D

Hopefully it doesn't become as big a letdown as HOMM4 was.

Hopefully the AI is as good as the graphics...

This seems too good to be true. I refuse to believe that it will happen.

Looks beautiful... but is the turn-based play still intact?

GROWNs

I can just imagine what it will look like on a GFMX440

I don't care about the grahpics, just make the game as good as II and III, please. I enjoyed IV, but it was not as good as the previous ones.

I played all the campaigns for all the xpacks, but not all of the scenarios.

At least it doesn't look like it used pastel colors. I hate pastel colors..
