Stumbling upon HOMM 2 a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with New World Computing's job in taking this kind of gaming genre to the max. Turn based strategy is hard to turn into an exciting computer game, but HOMM 2 delivered. HOMM 3 was a good upgrade with better graphics, easier gameplay, etc, but was still basically HOMM 2. The programmers have totally revamped the engine for the 4th edition though, and I am expecting nothing less than a blockbuster with totally new features while still retaining the character that made HOMM 2 great.

Something to look forward to for x-mas season

Although screen shots are the only tangible evidence of this game's glory, they are very promising as is the quality of the preceeding HOMM series. Can't wait for it to come out!

The next six months of my life

Aw Gawd, not again...To think how many hours I have productively wasted on this series throughout the years. It's disturbingly great. It's been far too long since I've felt the sweet purity of the klack till 5 in the morning. I am anxiously looking forward to having the life sucked from me courtesy of that oh so dear sweet tender computer screen. Carpal Tunnel, I await your mercy. I'm thinking that this investement will save me $$$ considering I anticipate that the need to go out will dwindle sharply. Who needs friends...I have computer. Yay!!!

Not sure what to expect

HOMM 1 and 2 were great games and Price of Loyalty expansion was even better, however HOMM 3 was pathetic in comparison. It's the same thing that happened with the Might and Magic series when 8 came out they basically ruined the game. For some reason they have began mass specialization in their games and, at least for me, the open ended games are much more fun. I am currently of two minds about this game but I wouldn't buy it right now I'd wait for some better idea of what its going to turn out like at least thats my game plan.

Could Life Get Any Better?

Heroes 4, that's the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time. I'm a big fan of the fantasy genre of gaming and the Heroes is one of the best games I've played, well, ever. Even though its hard to get the exact specifics on the game, I do know that the game has changed almost all of its castles, I like that. And, along with that, comes the troop changes which is always welcome.I'm a little worried though about the details of the game that might spoil certain aspects of it. First and foremost, the heroes series is the only PC games that has a hotseat option (multiplayer on one computer)and that's important.
Along with that, I'm looking forward to the new array of heroes available to play, but hope to see some of the old ones as well. Besides those minor worries, I see Heroes of Might and Magic IV to be a great game in the future. I just hope 3DO doesn't let me, er . . . us, down.

excellent.. can't wait...

LIke my title implies, I can't wait until this game comes out! Iv'e been a fan for about 3 weeks, when my freind brought it over to my house. Ever since, i've been looking for it everywhere, and I finally decided to come on here, and I found out about HOMAM4 (Heroes of Might and Magic 4) and I'm buying it. Heroes of Might and Magic was the only turn based stratagy game I've played, and before I played, I thought that all turn-based stratagy games where bad, but this, well, 3DO has simply made a great game!

HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC IS THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER

I have literally 100's and 100's of video games. I am a video game fanatic and very picky. Ever since Heroes of Might and Magic (#1) has come out, nary a day has gone by where I don't give at least 1 or 2 hours to the platform. I have played Heroes of Might and Magic 3, 1000's of times, and find it to be the best game I have ever played. Heroes of Might and Magic 4 goes a step further. I am proud to have been able to have an advanced copy, and GET READY FOR A MIND BLOWER. This game (like the platform), literally takes the gamer and puts him in a different world. I personally forget I am human and live on Earth when I play this blockbuster. A must for the Fantasy Role Playing person, or RPG fanatic, and it blows, BALDER'S GATE 2 away, in that it is user friendly, has easy tutorials, right clicking assists in commands, total fun, never boring, EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE, and I predict 3DO will sells millions of this game. ... and I feel this game should give 3DO the boost and recognition it needs. WOW, I'm so stoked. I'm going back to play again. (I haven't slept since I got this game)
IT'S THE BEST GAME EVER MADE, I promise.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I was looking at screenshots published on Gamespot, and I noticed that there was something strange. In some images of the buying screens, it said something like: "Cannot be built if Golden Pavilion is built." What's the deal here? Is the game going to restrict what you can build? I think this is a very important factor to consider. Also, the graphics can be confusing. It is just a bit too colorful. Otherwise, (if one can say 'otherwise') the game looks like it will be a lot of fun. It has a certain element of Age of Empires to it (the adventure screen), and I am not sure if this is an improvement. It seems there will be very different spells, learnable abilities, etc. so those of you who want the same game with better graphics had better think about sticking with Heroes III Complete...

Thanks All,
The Nitro
