Look on my section King's Bounty 3 ... ;)

No Starforce!!
 

You can't even be serious about letting your 'distributor' decide whether StarForce is allowed to be used on this beautiful game. As awesome as this game looks, I can guarantee people will be up in arms if StarForce is included with the game (or even considered) as its copy protection.

The publisher, not the distributor, should have the final say as to which copy protection is used. And please, be sure it's NOT StarForce!

the game looks amazing I know it's going to be a blast to play, but I certainly hope they don't use starforce I think thats a deal breaker, although 1C is one of the companies listed that use it.....

I just want the game to work on my computer. I have a brand new Gateway with Vista and am sick of buying games that I can't return cause they don't work on my computer. I have Processor Intel Pentium D925 Dual-core 64 bit processor..Each core operates at 3.0 GHz
2x2 Mb L2 Cache: 800 Mhz front side bus
For a video card I have Video Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. If I buy this game, will it work on my computer? I LOVED Heroes of Might and Magic and never had any trouble with installing and loading all of those games. At least 1, 2 and 3. And that was on my old computer. I'm not very computer savy and maybe I shouldn't be buying computer games for that reason. I just hate to miss out on this one. Please help me to determine what kind of a chance I have. And thank you!

You may need to upgrade your graphics card. Just buy a 8600 GT or 8800 GT or 9600 GT and you should be good to go.

Bajuhe, I agree with bigmit37. It's a good computer you have with a less than optimal video card. But you never know you just might squeak by.
Hopefully they will release a demo so you can test it out to make sure.

What do I think? It's one of my most anticipated games of 2008 :) So many great memories of playing the original KB on my Sega Genesis, and I really hope this one captures the same magic as the original. Few questions though:

1) Is the story line going to have anything to do with the original KB? If not, will there be "throw backs" to the first game (referrences to maybe some of the villians ect)?

2) Do you controll any other "armies" other then your main character (and his army)? Personally I hope it's just one...I tend to (even in HOMM games) focus on one army/hero anyways.

3) Will there be obtainable players castles that can be upgraded?

4) Will there be castle sieges, and if so, will they require siege weapons?

-and a couple concerns-

1) This game looks VERY similar to HOMM V (from screen shots)...I hope it has a lot different gameplay mechanics and try's to be unique. I want this to be a true KB game, not a HOMM V knock off (thats right, KB was first :) ).

2) PLEASE NO STARFORCE! The pirates crack that crap anyways, and it just pisses off ligitimate customers. Look at Stardock and their success...with NO copy protection. Anyways, I know you guys will probably use copy protection no matter what, but just don't use Starforce...I don't want that crap on my system.

Thats all I can think of for now. Anyways, the game looks GREAT so far from the screen shots, and I really can't wait for this game. I hope there is some news on when we all can expect KB: The Legend in stores.

Answers
1) I'm guessing there will be references, but it is set in a whole new world.
2) No, just the one.
3) You can obtain castles, but it is unknown if they can be upgraded.
4) No idea.

-Concern Comments-
1) The gameplay will be somewhat different. Adventrue combat is real time, like in the original KB, and battles are more intuitvely set up. Creatures have things like "attack types" such as 'magical' 'sword' 'fire' which work better/worse on some creatures, like fire doing less damage to dragons or a sword doing more damage to a creature with less armor.
2) You are unanimous in this.

Please JUST NO starforce.

So I know the release date says Q2, but is that a pretty solid estimation? I think when I first read about this game it was supposed to be a 2007 release, but got pushed back.

Any clues at all of when to expect the game? I really don't have much to play right now :grumble:
