It would actually make more sense as a representation of Protoss victory if the Zealot were looking down at a planetary bombardment in progress, because that's what the Protoss repeatedly did to the Zerg in lore. Why would he be posing for a photo back on the Carrier or whatever that ship is?

Not bad but it lost it's aura of mystery and instead gives shininess and a "we are doing this together, so heroic!" feel.

Feels more epic, but also more childish. I have mixed feelings about it but at the same time, I really really REALLY don't care. It's just the victory screen ffs.

I agree 100%.

I thought BW was supposed to darker, more desolated, with a more mature ambience. While the new art itself is very good, doesn`t look like it portrays that.

You see, even thought his eyes shows somewhat of a scared/surprised expression, the overall picture feels "heavier", somehow more mature than the new one?

But like you said, who really cares too much? It's just a victory screen.

Are BW protoss supposed to be scared or surprised in victory? That interpretation seems contradictory to protoss who are supposed to be a warrior race.

Honestly the BW one seems a stoic alien standing in the dark.

The new one has a clearly more determined aggressive look. Maybe it's guilty of throwing subtlety out the window, but overall I think it's great

Not a particular fan of this art, either. Pose seems weird, but beyond that I just straight up dont like it. Not sure why better graphics for units necessitates this general overhaul. Oh well, ultimately its trivial. Art looks a little worse, but the gameplays still great. So whatever.

Well... If I had to chose to face off against the alien eyeballing me with expressionless face from the old picture or poser guy from the new one, I'd definitely pick the one too occupied with himself to care much about me...

Why does everything have to look like the stereotypical action figure these days? The best aliens just look alien... Why would you even expect them to share human expressions, gestures or anatomy?

I thought it was a victory screen from sc2, my bad..
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.

Thanks for putting the pictures side by side like this. I feel like it would be much better if the "sc2" one was also looking directly at us, and also not have the clenched fist. I think the opened blade is alright, it can give a menacing look while still keeping the mysterious atmosphere. I like how you use the word "heavier" here, I totally agree.

But I am going too far with this haha, like I've already said, this is only a victory screen, but it's still fun to discuss about it ^^

This feels like spiderman marvel (old) vs. spiderman disney (new)

I like the old one better, for that pic of blizzard it is good, overall, but it feels so "dont know", not good enough, the zealot is to young and from the look he gives me i think he is not wise enough, toss should be old, but he has blue eyes like a freshborn youngstar zealot and the psi blade is out cause the fight is still not over.

Less gloss and aging the zealot = perfect. bye

i didn't like the original and i don't like the new one, compared to what T and Z have our victory screen is pretty bland.

Hello, Teamliquid.

These two pictures contrast each other like night and day. The Remastered art looks much more colorful and emotional compared to the original. There's not a single dark spot on the SC:R zealot's body. On the other hand, roughly half the zealot's body in the original picture is shrouded in darkness, and it has a much calmer, mysterious demeanor. Personally I prefer the original artwork because it better suits the dark (pun intended) storyline of the Protoss campaign. Not to mention the Zealot's armor in the original looks a lot cooler and more genuine compared to that of Remastered, which looks like a plastic toy. The original zealot is staring off into the distance, ready to face its destiny, whereas the Remastered zealot is looking up as if answering to a higher power. If you guys recall, the Protoss campaign was all about disobeying the Conclave and doing what was best for the race. Again, the new art doesn't really fit with the storyline in my opinion. My final thought is that the Remastered zealot looks a lot more like a human than the original one does. If you look close enough, you can see it's sporting a six-pack... That's a little comical if you ask me.

Sincerely,
Shalashaska_123

I may have a dirty mind, but on the old protoss victory screen, I've always seen a wooden dick between the zealot's leggs. I'm sad it's gone.

I don't think they were doing anything particularly artistic with the old screen. It's just their default zealot model with a default expression and a default pose. We're just reading into all that more now that there's a comparison.

I do like the subtle detailing in the background of the new background though, especially the reflections and the improvements to the planet.
