Hands-on preview of HoMM VI over at Gamespot.

[King Imp]

No, the developers weren't to blame for the announcement, but Ubi sure is. It's their baby and they should know how far along the game is and if it's even close to being done before giving out a date that is far too ambitious.

[ThunderTitan]

By all means take your time and make it right, but for God's sake, if the game has a lot of work to be done as Znork said, then how could they even think it was near ready to go ahead and give that initial release date.

Oh for crying out loud...

Znork played the game like over a month ago, and if any of you paid attention to SC2 or Diablo3's development you'd know that any demo they let fans play with is an old build they spend at least a few weeks to make a small part of playable...

So that's at least a 2 month old build... plenty of time for polish and crunch time.

Obviously not enough though...

Glad that you guys liked me littel report. It was the scond time i played the game and i do belive som of the tings have grate potensial. But im a littel woried about the are of controll withe mines and stuff. Im not shure i like it but i was always a terrorist when i played heros 3:D

[Neidhaart]

Really liked the report. Kinda wished i could have played it myself =)

[Kalah]

Hmm terrorist, now there's an idea ... maybe it should be possible to destroy mines?

Look out, maybe in Heroes 7 you can convert mines...

Mhm, special resources make a comeback, and you could convert a sulfur mine to an ore pit.

well i feel that it realy worked for the game with only tre. So you might be supporised and liked it

Well of course it did, would also work with 1 resource (not with none, C&C4 proved that)... problem is that we liked it just fine with 7...

cnc4 failed in a lot more, it's not just the lack of resources. CnC3 had like no resource management either

I don't see where anyone claimed any different. And even if i would like the gameplay it has, it's simply not C&C in any way, shape or form... should have been a new IP (or at least not a main C&C series game, but another spin off in another timeline/universe), too bad they're cowards...

CnC3 had like no resource management either

Huh?! You sure you're not confusing it with RA3's "put a building next to the gold extractor" thing? Because as i recall TibWars had the old C&C resource gathering model.
