It's the second day of E3 and there is a flood of gaming news on the Net. Fabrice and his team were hard at work at the Ubisoft booth and allowed a couple of journalists to see the new Heroes game.
  • Fragland has a very interesting preview that discusses new gameplay elements: "Ubisoft also changed the interface so it's less hard to find your way around the game. With the Trailer Path (also a new addition), every player will leave his mark behind so it's easier for other players to find the enemy. You can tell the strength and size of the enemy's armies by the depth of this Path." Also: "Last but not least, the multiplayer mode now has an additional 'fast mode', that will run much faster then the traditional multiplayer mode. Multiplayer games sometimes used to last for hours. So if you just want a quick battle before supper, you can start up the fast mode and be finished in only about 15 minutes."
  • The report on Gamers With Jobs deals with the interface and the multiplayer component as well. There are praises for the graphics: "While I hate to start off with it, the graphics were there in full and wonderful. All 3D and beautiful. Not just the engine, which seemed fairly competent, but the art direction was simply gorgeous. Not the 'shiny megabumps OMG' gorgeous, but the feel of a well painted picture gorgeous."

The StrategyCore and Celestial Heavens interview went very well according to our representative. We will have pictures up soon, and a transcript of the discussion in a few days.
