Somehow its blades look too dull...
And all the scales and spikes along its carcass are also new. Original graphics only had a basically smooth snake body. I can see why they are doing this, the in-game sprite has those spikes, after all, probably to give it more definition and make the movement look more believable, but I already feel this is going a bit too far in the direction SC2 did, where they glued some more of this and additional that all over the units until they looked completely ridiculous...

A few nitpicks:

a) the eyes need to stand out more

b) guardians at the back

c) the claw-scythe looks over-drawn (can't think of a better term)

I didn't want to comment about this hydra's bulkiness because I can't remember why it feels bad. It turned out to be the SC2 hydra...

A guy on the official forum photoshoped the hydralisk face to look like the old one.

Yeah it's sc2 design and doesn't remind me of sc1 at all. Hopefully they don't use sc2 protoss designs in these screens, because the difference is even more striking.

Here is original for comparison:

Jep, don't like it very much. I don't want these SC2 elements. I'm surprised they didn't put some green cyst bags on it as well. We also need more "horns" everywhere /sarcasm

I always thought the hydralisk visual design was not good. Hydras look weird, the old and the new.

I prefer original, old hydralisk looks scary as hell, his claws are more realistic where new one looks cartoonish.

It's been a while since art has kept me up past midnight... I studied the hydralisk sprite and discovered that the original artwork doesn't keep true to the sprite as the remastered one does, ironically. But what the remastered art fails to capture is the slenderness of hydras.

imo, a good balance would be like my little sketch (warning: this is obviously not professional material)

I always thought the Hydra looks weird, both old and new. It's supposed to be a ranged attacking unit, but they draw it like it's a melee attacker (heavily leaning on the design from the Alien movies...). I can't imagine that thing shooting spines out of its chest, or spitting acid, or whatever it's supposed to do.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game
