Information Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East

[dibens]

I hope there is no direct corellation between the size of the box art and how shitty the game is.

 

[Stabwound]

Haha, well I'd personally put 3-5 above 1-2 but the rest of that sounds about accurate. Scary.

 

[Jaesun]

Gah! 2 more days until we fill find out yet another RAPE of a beloved franchises.

Seriously in this day and age there hasn't been ANY leaks?

 

[Stabwound]

We're supposed to "learn more" tomorrow, but I don't know what that entails. If they're going to be at PAX then they probably have some kind of prototype to show.

Fuck, I'm sure this is going to be crap, but there's always a chance it's not.

I Just noticed M&M 6 1994, fucking morons

 

[Hobz]

Apparently I have a strange rape fetish, because a part of me is still hoping for something good to come out of this.

Just occured to me, that we are automatically assuming the "X" means 10. We shouldn't. It may as well be "ex", an unknown value: game X. In that case, of course, this thing can just be anything. Don't be surprised when they give us Super Might'n'Magic Online Experience with microscamsactions.

Yeah, I'm not sure. A few years ago one of the higher ups who runs the MM franchise said there would never be a game called "Might & Magic X" because of their new branding strategy. Like how Heroes of Might & Magic is Now Might & Magic Heroes. And "Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes."

Maybe they went back on that. Damn, who knows.

 

[Jaesun]

Might and Magic XTREEEEEEEEEEEEEME!!!!

 

[dibens]

Might & Magic: Might & Magic

 

[grdja]

Stop even thinking about it. Its a major publisher game. Its likely going to compete for highest amount of announced decline in the year.

 

[Jaesun]

Might and Magic: MAJESTIC!

 

[Falkner]

Might & Magic: Might & Magic

The gritty reboot of the series. It will present the origin story of Sheltem in a way that couldn't have possibly been done in the antiquity of gaming, using modern innovations like a visceral real-time action combat system, a strategic cover system, cinematic quicktime sequences and - if you play your cards right - perhaps even romance.

 

[Stabwound]

From what I've read the HoMM games stuck to the same gameplay but were of various levels of quality.

I'd go for a mediocre 3D, grid based M&M game even if it was just average and didn't go super popamole brothers.

Better climb aboard a New Delhi bus then....

A leaky turd? Diarrhea?

Call of Might and Magic X-TREME: Majestic Warfare

Yeah and M&M 7 1998


Bodes well for the franchise when they don't even know what year the original games came out. Reeks ever more of cynical KS inspired 'old-skool is hip now' cash in.

 

[Infinitron]

Might and Might (because fratboy focus groups didn't respond well to the word "Magic")

HoMM is a very specific case. Everyone raged at 4, no one played 5+ past the campaigns for real. If I see anyone playing HoMM for realz in MP its Wake of Gods.

 

[commie]

On top of all the other things, I wonder if they'll inject the game with the kind of grimdark angst and pathos that the series never had. The wonder of M&M was in its absurd free for all that just 'worked' so you never questioned the reason for hundreds of creature 'x' in the middle of nowhere existing just so you could mow them down or fighting dragons from way up high in the sky with laser pistols. They can make it as true to the series as possible with step blobber movement and combat but if they lose the M&M charm in favor of Biowarean opera that would almost be even worse than making it a third person action game.

HOMM4 is great, stop the lies.

 

[Falkner]

Commie: Exactly. From playing WoX and a bit of MM6, I have the impression that M&M is really just about being a fun game, without any pretense of being anything more serious or mature than that. I like that.

 

[UnknownBro]

Man, with the recent "old skool arpeegee" phenomena I would not be too surprised if a lowly publisher wants to milk the hype, this is, of course, the best case scenario...

Heh, it was fresh but very broken in my opinion.
A lot of friends I know either adapted or just gave up on the series completely upon experiencing the 4th game.

It might also have something to do with my 4 Barbarian doomstack, decked in full store gear just raping the countryside on hotseat matches while sniping dragons and other high lvl creatures at no cost when retreating
