That's fantastic news — if we don't get the original developers, at least we get the original composers. That alone is reason enough for me to buy the game



Apart from that, I just hope that by "very emotional" Rob doesn't mean "melancholic", as some of the Heroes IV tracks were too melancholic in my opinion (especially those Irish sounding adventure themes).

[Vitirr]

We already knew it but it's great to read it from Rob itself. I hope they come back to a more similar H2 and 3 style, with atmospherical songs in the adventure map and the most powerful and melodic pieces in town. I can't wait to heare their work.

What does it mean by "a cut above the previous scores!" ... Heroes IV or all the previous titles ?

[Angelspit]

I'd say all the previous titles; but does it really matter?

[RKing]

No Irish stuff this time around.......Being that the H5 World is 3D, we all agreed that a more cinematic feel be approached.

That's good news indeed! I hope the music in Heroes 5 will, at least, have something similar with music of Heroes 3.

[Borny]

I think the "Irish music" in heroes 4 was very emotional and nice. I think melancholic music gives more soul to the game. Keep up the good work Rob King!

[Vitirr]

Don't know what you mean exactly by Irish music in H4, but if you talk about the bagpipe song in grass terrain I consider it one of the best in the game. I prefer however that kind of more powerful music for towns.

[JSE]

Well, generally, I like Irish music myself — however, I don't think it's the right kind of music for a strategy game like Heroes (it's just too emotional and distracting). Personally, I prefer the more idyllic adventure themes of Heroes 1 to 3.



Powerful music is great though — especially in combat —, but it should be uplifting rather than melancholic.

[War-Overlord]

All I hope is that the music of the townscreens catch the feel of a town. I realy liked the music of Inferno, Necropolis and Fortress in heroes III. That realy made the atmosphere of the town come to life.

[RKing]

not too melancholic, no Irish.....Just Inspiring Emotions. :0 R & P

I did prefer the music from Heroes II and III more to IV. II had a very medieval soundtrack, while III had a more mature, formal collection of songs. IV had okay music, but I actually like the field music better than anything else in that game. But I'm definitely relieved that Rob King's role in the next game has been confirmed!
