Funkoid Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I don't know, but I just had this sudden realisation where starcraft II plot is going. I have a feeling Kerrigan is going to be reverted back to human (maybe a cure found for her?)http://www.starcraft2.com/images/artwork/ss4-hires.jpg I know by the hair this is Kerrigan. But she looks less Zerg and more Human. Interesting, but it sounds like a big stretch for the story, and she can still pass off as Zerg infested (look at dat skin!)

What better way to end the story than the hero (Jim Raynor) rescuing her from the clutches of the Zerg as he promised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 What better way to end the story than the hero (Jim Raynor) rescuing her from the clutches of the Zerg as he promised? He said that he would kill her some day, whether he had an army at his back or not, because she killed Fenix. Remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 What better way to end the story than the hero (Jim Raynor) rescuing her from the clutches of the Zerg as he promised? With the zerg infesting everything then having Ghosts nuke the brains out of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 With having the protoss revive the three brothers and allowing Diablo to raise an army again and the ally with Sargeras as one united front while facing the Lost Vikings on a Rock'n Roll track?

JoeFu Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 New video Shows new units and buildings Tempest is the new Carrier I guess. I think it's because Aiur is destroyed and the Protoss are on Shakuras or whatever that place is called, most of the units are Dark templar like. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Pretty awesome if you ask me. Makes sense. I wish Blizzard would release new information more regularly through the official site, though. It's been kind of tiring seeing the same two videos and four units up there for the last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critical Hit Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Am I the only one that doesn't like how similar (graphics-wise) this looks to Warcraft 3? I didn't really like that graphical style then, and I'm definitely not digging it for Starcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendlyHunter Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 If by "looks like Warcraft 3" you mean "the colors are vivid", then yes, it looks like Warcraft 3. Fun with colour theory! Here's a screenshot after I tweaked the colours quite a bit to make it look somewhat similar to Starcraft's palette: I'd be pretty happy if SC2's colour scheme ends up looking something like that. And here's the original. AHH, my eyes!! The goggles do nothing! I don't mind the overpowering blue lighting over the whole environment so much as the piercing cyan/blue glowing Protoss crap everywhere. On a non-colour related note: some of the SC2 models look quite WC3-ish (that chunky low-poly feel) when they're VERY up close, like the Protoss unit pictures in the "Features" section of the site. However, they'll never be shown that close in the game (we can only hope, lest it start looking like WC3 =O). One thing that bugged me though is that the units' voices, to me, sound very WC3-ish. They also sound pretty lame and say pretty lame things (not unlike WC3) and have bad effects over top. I'm sure they'll come up with better unit voices later though...

SetzerGabbiani Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The goggles do nothing! Holy Simpsons reference Radioactive Man! Anyways I like the brighter colors in SC 2... I hated turning up the Gamma in the first one to bring my game out of the deep, cold, darkness =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Prower Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This looks like the star craft I remember. If you think this is bad. Just look at the new starcraft game play video on the lush green land based planet. It screams warcraft! >.< Starcraft is a dark universe based around the brutal Terrans, the creepy Zerg of every one's nightmares and the Religious Protoss. Bright colours do not set the scene well.

eternal Zero Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 What's with all the WC3 hate? Honestly, I could care less on how it looks (mostly because I don't mind the WC3 look) and just want some freaking amazing gameplay and new mechanics.

Azure Prower Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It's not that I hate Warcraft (although I've never been interested in the series). It's just it's 'happy, bright, gay time' colours do not suit starcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, WC3 kicked major ass, and anyone who says otherwise just sucked at it (although TFT was not as good as the original). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The problem with WC3 isn't the art direction, it's the fact that it is an RTS that tries to be Diablo and ends up being watered down in both aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain. This doesn't make sense to me. Also. TFT < RoC? I dunno, Bahamut...it's better for ladder matches, but you're kinda stuck in TFT if you want competetive DotA, obviously. Seeing as I'm a competetive DotA player...I'm a little bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I could care less on how it looks (mostly because I don't mind the WC3 look) and just want some freaking amazing gameplay and new mechanics. Well, I think everyone can agree that the gameplay's more important than graphics. But it's not so much how it looks that matters, it's the "feel". Colours and brightness tend to dictate this feel. Whether or not you like WC3 or how it looks or feels is not the point. I like the look and feel of "Wii Play". Do I want Starcraft 2 too look like it? Hell no! Starcraft has a very different mood than Warcraft, and to make the intended "mood" of the visuals so similar to Warcraft's latest RTS installment would be... a mistake. Heck, WC3's visuals were so bright and happy-looking, I felt its relatively slow and brooding soundtrack did not fit AT ALL - especially compared to WC2's amazing synergy of music and visual style. When you see SC2 screenshots or videos, can you imagine the original SC soundtrack would "fit" with the visuals? As bright as they are right now, I'm not so sure - even the current music for the SC2 demos and stuff sounds much more "herioc" and "whimsical" than Starcraft's dark vibe. But I'll even admit, I don't mind the new shiny bright look THAT much - you definately don't want to go overkill on the darkness. Heck, that bright planet looks pretty nice and realistic, a nice sunshiny planet, y'know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Zero Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hm. I do see your point. I agree with that the glow on the buildings and units is a bit too bright, but I think that the worlds can be as bright as they want. I mean, any given planet in that universe can be however they want to depict it. The units though, should definitely have a darker and edgier feel to them.

JoeFu Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I wonder what the tempest is going like though. I hope the Tempest isn't just a gimped carrier, and I hope it actually has something that makes it kinda dark templarish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
