"Heroes" itself is primarily a genre mechanic, a framework upon which you can build either a very good and well-developed world or an epic failure.
They've already created a buzz, and the game will almost certainly sell millions of copies. But will this be beneficial for us?
I've already formed a rough idea of the quality. A typical mass-market product, well-made and with outstanding designs for some of the units. It might even be playable.
If it can be seriously modded, then the setting might not be such a big problem. The main thing is that there's a foundation to build upon.
