Our friends at Tothegame had the pleasure to visit New World Computing in California. They brought back a travel report with lots of info about M&M9 and HoMM4. Here's something about Might & Magic 9:
Presenting MM9 was Director Keith Francart, whom has been involved with the series since MM6, and Designer Tim Lang whom started at NWC as a tester in 1996, and progressed to working on level design in MM6. The latest addition to the series, Might and Magic 9 on the other hand, has been in production for about 15 months. They started just after a M&M game for PS2 got canned. Both men are of course very enthusiastic about the new game, and especially regarding the jump from sprites (used in MM6 – 8) to 3D technology. They are trying to make the new one more accessible then standard RPG’s by making it easier to get started on and by changing the game play slightly towards that of FPS games. The game has no videos, but quite a few scenes that will come to pass whenever the player gets to a certain point in the game. The player can stay and watch, just leave or in some cases change the event. Although many of these scenes give clues to quests, almost all information can be found several places and you’ll not be able to walk away from the only place specific info is available. The designers seemed especially fond of a theatrical play you can watch, while playing, that in addition to giving important info also is very amusing.
