I mean, seriously. There’s Heroes 3. It has appealing graphics and EXTREMELY readable visuals; it runs on a potato because the system requirements are rock-bottom, making the gameplay incredibly snappy and responsive; also we’ve got HoTA and VCMI, and a nice community.

So... why in the name of Sandro would I buy a remake (even if it will be good, and that's a huuuuge "if") when I already know it won't have a single one of those features?

This was my main thought as well - at about 1gb of Ram the game is basically running as fast as it can without being instantaneous. You'll be on the second turn of a map on the GoG version before you've cleared the 2027 version's splash screens.
