Poll Question:
What HoMMIV will be?
Yes, many wouldn't have waited poll from me and this is very possible my first and last poll. let's speculate little what HoMMIV will be.
- New game - New Experience
Game that has new ideas and is entirely new what comes to gameplay. It lacks the HoMM feeling and many veterans players will be disappointed. Simplistic gameplay will get many new players start playing HoMM. Old gamers are delighted about the success of the game but game hasn't the thing that makes people come to play it again and again. NWC has taken brave step forward but at the sametime destroyed the series for many.
Followup - Good Old HoMM
Game isn't so groundbreaking as it is expected but more like HoMM3+. New graphics, some new units and some new options but it hasn't so many things new as many have waited. Good or bad? Who knows, it could be even better this way...
Cult Classic - Hardcore gamer's delight
Game doesn't bring enough money to 3DO and they decide to stop bringing new to series but game is heaven for veterans of HoMM and will get good scores from gamer critics. Will be considered as "underdog". Not economical success but gaming will never be the same.
The Game - Hit and Classic
Game will be everything we have dreamed and more. It will be both economical and gaming success. New HoMM3 as to say.
Crash&Burn - Worst game in the series
Game won't be success and will be only shadow of the old HoMMs. We will miss the series but we try playing other fantasygames to fill our needs. Too bad the series is gone then.
Something else?
Tell your speculations what HoMMIV will be or what you would like to be?
More or less like HoMM3?
Economical success? Massmarket stuff or something for hardcore gamers?
Maybe this is more Altar of wishes stuff but I post it here as more people will notice this then.

I voted for number four, but I'll comment the others aswell... 
New game - New Experience
disagree
The game has many new ideas, new gameplay, but will still be HoMM. Maybe some, but not many veteran players will be disappointed. NWC has taken a big (not brave) step, and I don't believe they've destroyed the game for anyone.
Followup - Good Old HoMM
disagree
Hard to say if it will be groundbreaking or not. As a 2D game they've raised the standard a lot, but compared to other kinds of games, H4s graphics are nothing special. There will be many new options, and I think people will be satisfied, but not the way they thought they would be. Many are awaiting too much of the game (to follow up, and even more, to HoMM3), and that's the problem. Personally I think the NWC people are doing a good job (based on the game info released in the previews).
Cult Classic - Hardcore gamer's delight
agree partly
I think the competition on the game market is tuffer today, than when the older HoMM's were released. Many popular 3D shooting games, and very many strategy/RPG games too. So the economical failure could be a possibility. But of course the HoMM veterans will buy the game...
The Game - Hit and Classic
agree
This is my personal guess. The one I hope for aswell... 
Crash&Burn - Worst game in the series
disagree
No… Not as things are looking today. People will play other fantasy games, yes, but not as much as Heroes 4...
Something else?
I think HoMM4 is going to be what I like it to be. Not an ordinary sequel to HoMM3. A kind of brand new game, but keeping the Heroes style too...

I think...
HOMM IV will be a new heroes experience since there are big difference in the gameplay compared to the previous one. I'm sure it will be a new knock out game from 3DO and never less people who would get their hands on it will be a HOMM addict like you and me. Although, I didn't expect some games specs their, it will be an excellent game!

All I can say is snow THE ALL NEW INTERFACE AND TOTALLY CHANGING THE GAME INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
I mean I'll never play HoMM4. Too many changes. I love HoMM1 and 2. Good old classic. I can live with HoMM3. This trying_to_be_realistic grafics aren't as cool as those in HoMM1 and 2. But it's not a real problem. Deleting and moving creatures from town to town really made me mad. The griffin should stick to the warlock and the roc should stay with the wizard. And the names and looks (comparing to the non-upgraded versionb) of upgrades just make me lough. I don't mean all of them. But WHAT THE HELL IS WALKING DEAD? AND WHERE DID THAT ZOMBIE GET ARMOR LIKE THIS??? It looks like they were forcing them selves to make all the creatures upgradable. Some of you might say HoMM1 and 2 are snow because there are only 4/6 (depending on which HoMM we're talkin' about) towns or poor grafics. I think HoMM1 grafics is good because you might laugh really loud at some of the creatures. When I first saw the phoenix, I thought it looked like a mutant chicken  . And the graphix in HoMM2 just look good. No trying_to_be_3D, that's what I want.

I agree with you Lord_woock, but I will still play homm4. The adventure map looks a lot like the one in homm2, colorful.

Exactly how long can you sit and laugh at a creature image? I might be homorous the first few times it soon becomes usual and just part of the background. All that matters is if the game is fun to play and all of the heroes games have been fun and very addictive to play.(heores 1 is brutally slow in battles).
I am very eager to play H4, as are most of the people here, but the "window dressing" of graphics means little if the game play is no good. Everyone has certain concerns about graphic images(the gay pride unicorn) but if the game lives up to my expectations, as I expect(hence expectations) it will, the traffic on this board will go down because we will all be too busy playing than talking about playing.
Moderator's note:This topic has been closed, as it refers to an older version of the game. To discuss Heroes 3, please go to Library Of Enlightenment, to discuss Heroes 4, please go to War Room Of Axeoth.
