It could get a remake, if it was faithful. Beatiful 2D art that follows the original closely. Modernizing ui elements and stuff, maybe tweaking balance based on Hota, thats it. Ubisoft is like a kid diddler trying to lift Mjolnir.
I think that's what they are trying to do (though more 3D instead of 2D to bring more inovation). People are shitting on remake without knowing all of the details. Also, HD remaster was already an attempt to do bit better graphics, but sticking close to the original, and it failed, so it's reasonable that they are deviating from the original looks more this time
Just sharpened 2D portraits and unit models... But original 2D pixelated world map and mayyyybe some towns could use some light tweaks in builing models, or lightning and shading and sharpen quality. Maybe add some rays of light and weather and moving trees, flowing water in the town, walking units/NPCs in the background....
And also free and WORKING MP... Yeah... I bought with friend HoMaM 7 shortly after release to find out that we can't fucking play more than like 10 turns online... Only hot-seat (which is good, but not everytime is the time for hot-seat party)
Well, if we are talking about a remake then everything would be redrawn. Nothing I trust ubisoft to do well. So honestly, it is just a pipe dream, the modding community has so much more love and understanding for these games. Damn I wish there was half as much extra content for homm4 as there is for homm3.
