Decline Heroes of Might and Magic III HD - It's out

[Darth Roxor]

You know what's the funniest thing?

This pixelated titan is a pixelated version of the HD one. Note the hilt of the sword. The new and the pixelated ones have a single blue dot at the bottom. The old one doesn't have it.

Check the bone dragon out. NWCs bone dragon was white, while emudots is yellow.

Yeah, and the skull shape doesn't even match. And neither do the legs and the neck.

Hahahaha, this is rich.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Oh god, I get it now.

Those pixelated dudes come FROM THE MAP VIEW, NOT FROM COMBAT MODE

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You can see it SUPER CLEARLY via the ancient behemoth. Let's see if I can find a map.

Just made this in the scenario editor:

There are voices that this banner is not official Ubisoft promo material but some shit made by Polish game site (gry-online as far as I know).

I highly doubt it. There's way too much effort put into it for it to be the work of dumbfuck journos.

And no way to confirm or deny it as Ubisoft webpage is dead, at least for me.

The devil, gold dragon, bone dragon and the archangel hasn't been spotted in any other official pictures but that sure is the official art.

Can you link where Ubisoft used it on their own site? All Ubisoft sites with Heroes 3 Hd announcement use different art, not this banner with comparison.

Edit: Apparently, it was a Polish regional division of Ubisoft who created it and posted it on Facebook. So, Ubisoft but stupidity rather than actual greed and misinformation.

Why couldn't they just take sprites from M&M6-8?

I think they did the screenshots in mapeditor and then used some high level gimp-wizardry to paste them on "nicer looking" battlemaps.

Here is my work after 10 seconds in paint:

Can you hire me ubi? I could use the cash

There is a minor mistake on the website. The character called "good magician" from M&M 6 is actually a motherfucking Warlock. They weren't good, they were a bunch motherfuckers casting nasty status spells in addition to their damage spells.

EDIT:
The "orc" from M&M 6 is actually an Ogre.

EDIT 2:
"Elf Archer" from HoMM 3 is a sharshooter. Their race was left ambiguous since they could be upgraded from both elven and human archers.

Here is an algorithm-processed upscale (S-Spline Max) of the arch devil made by another guy in a couple of seconds, without any additional treatment.

And a standard Photoshop sharpening filter:

I'm pretty sure the shitty pixelated sprites are the ones you see on the adventure map.

Fake edit: Roxor beat me to it.

Ubisoft, leading provider of free entertainment for the 21st century.

 

[m_s0]

So... they've supposedly redrawn the art and managed to make it look like a quick and blurry upscale (a coincidence, I'm sure)?

 

[Kaldurenik]

oh wow :D

 

[zerotol]

so you say this is shameless money grabbing by ubisoft?

shocking just shocking

 

[bloodlover]

Will this require u-play and permanent internet connection?
