Starcraft 2 videos feat: ZERG

those animations look awesome! pity it doesnt have any zoom and is still the rock-paper-scissors insta-hit bollocks we're all tired of.

They have zoom, which is completely useless for this type of game, and starcraft was never rock-paper-scissors, you just never bothered learning it well enough to see that.

looks crazy.

Official blizzard videos never look quite as good because they're on normal speed (starcraft is usually played at fastest speed) and everything is staged and scripted and doesn't look natural.

Here's a 20 minute video of a korean pro gamer testing the zerg;

and a high-res version of the announcement trailer;

Kerrigan's voice sounds wrong :/

forged alliance for the win, doo-dah, doo-dah. the pyrotechnics certainly look great though.

The new engine is just amazing. It's just a shame that most of the art so far doesn't really show what they're capable of. But yeah, jackal flamethrower = win.

Still not a fan of "homing" projectiles however :/

Everything looks wonderfully fluid though. I might even bother checking this out when its released! I know, even im surprised

Posted by Project-K on Mar-13-2008 02:09:

What do you mean by homing projectiles? You mean attacks that always hit no matter what?

yeah. and when they home in it looks a little silly. but thats just me.

Posted by Project-K on Mar-13-2008 02:19:

Well most of the attacks are too fast or too direct to miss. Zerg are mostly melee, protoss are mostly laser beams and terrans use bullets.

Lurker spines and possibly the jackal's attack can miss moving targets, if that makes you happy.

Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Mar-13-2008 03:37:

ill never be happy! but the game certainly looks like more fun than i originally expected.

not sure how ill cope without strategic zoom though

ultralisks look nuts!!

This game looks good. I have been a fan of starcraft since it came out in the 90's and I am looking forward to the long awaited installment of this one of a kind game.

let's see if pkc takes the bait....

Posted by pkcRAISTLIN on Mar-25-2008 12:38:

well, someone clearly doesn't have a ninja PC and forged alliance playing on their 32" monitor.

thanks philbs, i wouldnt have bothered (since supcom wasnt actually mentioned) but since you basically asked me to...
