Heroes V Demo Soon?

Angelspit · Unread postby **Angelspit** » 09 Apr 2006, 22:09

There is word on Blue's News that a Heroes of Might and Magic V demo might be on its way, somewtimes between Tuesday and Thursday. They quote another site, Tiscali Games, which translated an announcement in Czech from CD Projekt. While the news have not been confirmed by Ubisoft, all these sites have been reliable in the past. Whether you played the beta test or not, you might be able to try an improved version of the game very soon.

Some pretty funny posts about the demo on Blue: "I'll have to say F*** It to Starforce, do your worst. I have to support a HOMM game. The world would be a lonely place without thee..." and "The only way to play this game multiplayer is hotseat anyway. That way you can pull faces your opposition, lower there tactical skills with more beer and sing songs about how long their turn is taking."

That would be great if I didn't have finals all next week.

So, will the demo be available for download on gamespy you think?

I don't really want to spoil the fun by playing a demo before the real game, but if it's there to be downloaded, it'll be quite tempting...

Hopefully we'll see some drastic improvements over the open beta in the demo.

Maybe we could make it available for download from CH?

That would be great. I'd much rather download something from Celestial Heavens than Gamespy or File Planet.

Well,since lots of people already played the demo(no,its not a beta,its a demo

),this news are outdated.

A demo is ideally just a limited version of the finished game, unlike betas, which are unfinished versions. Looking forward to test it out.

Would the demo have Star Force? A better question would be, does anyone think UBI will put Star Force on(in) the demo?

My guess would be, yes.

Oh yes, DL, as much as I would like to claim that the beta is the demo(sure would make large generalizations better) I think that the final product will have a bit, just a little, more polish than the beta.

Beta didn't have AI, or had a dumb AI if you wish. Demo should come with the final AI. And yes, it will sure have Starforce. Even the Beta did...

The demo will come with StarForce. It's common practise to put SF even on demos (and Betas!) just to give away as little info as possible to pirates.

"Shiver me timbers! They put starforce on everything these deyz. Arrrgh! Not good for our piracy business." =p

Well I already passed the "crysis" SF period when I was installing it with the closed beta months ago.. so I could care less if they put it in the demo or not

AFAIK it was a Czech page - not Polish.

That's correct. Sorry about that.

Well that's good to hear! I'm planning to reinstall my system soon, so I think I can take the risk of installing Star Force...
