So far, neither online nor raiders seems worth my time nor my effort.

I don't get it. The games all look like they were made by an amateur indie developer ten years ago.

What kind of people buy these games?
They look like garbage and I hope they aren't the future of the franchise. If they are, then just give me Dance Macabre and bury the franchise for it does not deserve to be ended by these abominations of games.

@ Xerox: I suspect they look like that because it's true. They look indie, making it likely they are indie. Even third-rate pro's make their products look better.
I suspect these to be attempts to draw in more of the indie/casual people. And I would not be surprised if these are also aimed at tablets.
Let us hope these are time-fillers.

Raiders have terrible trailer, which looks so ugly and bad-edited I'd rather see random gameplay footage.

Heroes Online, however, looks very tempting. Nice H5 graphics, hex battlefield (!) and a place to explore - soemthing that actual H5 game definitelly lacked.

Anything online is an instant "no" from me.  I will not deal with UPlay again if I can help it.

@Xerox
Buy is the key word. They are free to play so perhaps they thought we wouldn't complain as much.. And as free games I have a feeling that they are fishing the community for potential customers in expanding the brand. Heroes online could prove a decent game but I don't think that this series needs a hack&slash. I'd rather see a dark messiah game or a more traditional kind of rpg instead, those would be more to my liking and more likely to prove a success. And we just might see something along those lines in the future

That's their startegy! If they can't provide good content that could get some popularity, they provide lots of content, hoping that someone will but one or another.

Quantity over quality, nuff said.

Their Strategy should be focused on Quality!! Not quantity!!
If they used teh resources for these projects on Heroes VI and lets say ONE online game (I would bet on Duel of Champions) it would be much better

Don't use indie as it is some bad word, there are indie studios which do much better job than the big corporations.

My observations lead to unhappy conclusion:

Indie studio has 10 employees and can make a game for 10$.

Big studio has 60 employees who will make just same game for 60$.

I didn't say indie games are bad, they are good games in their own right but sadly I'm not interested in them, because indie studios don't make big turn based games like Heroes of Might and Magic.

Hi guys, what's going on?
So what's this 'raiders' thing and why does it sound like the most generic thing possible?

So, this Raiders game is basically just Diablo set in Ashan?

To me, Raiders simply looked like DotA. Since Blizzard is doing his DotA, Ubisoft probably thought they also need to do one, so they can actually pay for their Watch Dogs trailer

Well, you have cool 3rd-person H&S games like Die by the Sword.
Then you have 1st-person H&S role-playing games like Dark Messiah,
and hack and click games like Diablo.

That sounds like the logical next step for this "france-scheiße" alrite.


Hopefully Shadowrun and Wasteland 2 will turn out okay...
