This is amazing news for me. Heroes of Might & Magic hasn't nearly felt as fun since III. I just hope the game 'feels' as good as its improved assets look!
Confirmed features for the HD Edition (taken from the Ubisoft web page:)
A new HD experience: re-live the Heroes® III in HD, a true craftsmanship which offers players updated graphics, with wide screen compatibility.
Enjoy the critically acclaimed Heroes® III gameplay, with 7 exciting campaign scenarios, around 50 skirmish maps, a local multiplayer mode and a map editor.
A new online multiplayer lobby tailored for PC: Now Steamworks compatible, the PC version of Heroes® III offers an online multiplayer lobby, where you can share your experience with the Heroes® III community.
Play Heroes® III on tablets anywhere: Heroes® III now features iOS and Android tablet versions, upgraded with intuitive touch controls to enjoy this passionate game experience anywhere… anytime.
Well, fun is subjective. However, I'm of the opinion that all games should strive to provide a unique and engaging experience. For instance, playing horror games isn't exactly 'fun' but it gives me a sense of terror that I can experience in a safe environment and revisit at any time.
@bbalpert: This has nothing to do with overheating in this case. Enslaved is a really bad port. There is a guide that you can find to address this and a number of other graphical issues in the game.
It really depends on the game in question. I've enjoyed a couple of remastered games such as Shadow of the Colossus and the Devil May Cry HD collection since it gives me a chance to experience an older game I never had the chance to play on its native platform and arguably in the best way possible on a modern platform. That being said, price is also another factor. I'd flat out refuse to pay more than half the price of a new release.
Just a cool little website I found courtesy of Empire. I know how many Jurassic Park enthusiasts there are on the site, with Mr. Klepek being one of the more notable ones. Enjoy!
