I've tried to search for similar thread, couldn't find any.
Everybody knows about BW probes saying "NOO" but it never occured to me they talk so much until my friend told me
It's not as clear with BW probe so most of it's quotes are debatable but SC2 probe is pretty clear to me.
What can you hear?



BW probe quotes

0:03 / 0:08 "What?"

0:15 sounds kind of like "you're nuts" but I don't think that is it...

0:18 "Can do"

0:27-28 "What?"

0:30-31 "What is your name?" o_o??

0:33 "NO" known by most of us...

0:37-38 "Yeah OK"




SC2 probe quotes

0:08 "Whaat?"

0:11-12 "Yessir?"

0:13-14 "No-o" ? not sure

0:16-17 "Can't do that at all"

0:23-24 "Can't do that"

And I cant be the only one who perked up when I heard the 'probe finished' sound.

DEFINITELY!
The sound in SC2 is nothing like the epic manliness of Brood War. Nothing will ever be as badass as good archons screaming "POWER OVERWHELMING!!!"
Long live the real starcraft!. (and the protoss)

Someone should do this same thing for BW vs SC2 zerg units, like for example how in BW the hydralisk clearly goes "yeeeeeaaahhh?" on select and "rriiiiiiiiighht" on move and in SC2... oh wait in SC2 all the zerg sounds are some generic spacebug chirping that might as well be from a B sci-fi movie and have no memorable characteristics or personality in them.

How they could fuck up the throaty wheeze of the mutalisk so bad is just unfathomable. Reference.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.

heh, I never noticed this before. O.O Neat find, I probably will spend more time focusing on what the probe is saying than playing from now on. >.<

Yeah I like what I feel when I listen to BW Zerg sounds.
I can stop hearing SC2 Zerg sounds at all at some point during games.

Also Pheonix quotes are so awfully weak when compared to Corsair's.

Long live Proberto. It would make sense that they'd speak english cause the other units speak it.

Wow. I've played BW for over a decade and I've never once realised that probes make people sounds. It's always been a combination of machine noise/gibberish and meows to me.

Nor will anything be as badass as "you must contruct additional pylons". When I heard that in Sc1, it was time to make some additional fucking pylons. When I hear it in Sc2, its like "blah, go away asshole im doing something"

Even though I haven't touched brood war heavily in a bit, the many, many years I've been with the game constantly gives me a twitch that equates to "moving the worker to the mineral patch"

i've always thought that the probe sounds sound a lot like random references to war2. i remember there being a hero named cho'gall in war2, could be that. and a lot of the sounds are similar to orc peons kind of...

Die kittycat, DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I think it's stuff they recorded with a voice actor and just modified it completely.
Might be totally off. Probably.
