Ubi HD remaster was a disaster. They remastered the very first version of Heroes 3 and did'nt even bother fixing stats of Fortress creatures or costs of Angels or fixing the Armorer/Air Shield or Castle's Lighthouse bug.
Such a shame they have the rights to the franchise, but will never actually manage to make something decent with it.
Might actually be better doing nothing, than making worse and worse sequels.

Ubi owns the IP and hence is owner of that source code. If he were to publish it to the general public, he would be violating copyright laws.

And Dotemu (or else) might be working on making the complete edition in HD at this very moment but we don't know about... as it is a very well know fact since 15 years : Editors are scared by "annoucement effects"

Only to have those crappy graphics in the end, as well as many more minuses and possibility of having full-game and even a moddable platform (would have still been crap due to its graphics being bad).

Kinda funny to look at this retrospectively, if such a word is allowed in this context.
Had to look at the 4 screenshots in the OP, it's strange how they somehow messed with the graphics, I don't know, they just don't seem to match. Hero screen looks quite good tbh, but especially that necro town screen is somehow way off.
We can never know, but to some extend it would have been fun to see what would have happened, if they could have packed the expansions there as well. Would we have had mods that were only created with the HD release in mind?
u pay amateurs to redo professional work with new tools and this happens. Think, would u pay me to redraw the Monalisa with modern technics cause progress? That's basically what they did, only it wasn't cause of progress, it was just to milk you.

I wanted to try to replay RoE campaigns in HD Edition becasue why not, last days. I had to close the game after 15 minutes, it was too painful to see those graphics (but I admit, only the battle backgrounds looked quite good).

Is HD edition patched? It only seems to be patched to RoE 1.2, because there are some missing features (like mine guards, recruit non-upgraded creatures in upgraded dwellings, dragon flies cast weakness) and has some bugs (like attacking heroes in Sanctuary using the arrow keys), all of which were addressed in RoE 1.3 and 1.4. I also cannot load 1.4 saves in HD edition...
