The new Zealot looks like a Super Smash Brothers character.

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%.

[image loading]

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.

[image loading]

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.

I don't think I agree that the old picture looks more "mature". The only reason why the newer one is brighter is they're trying to portay the Protoss as a race that are proud to fight for Aiur, something that doesn't really come across in the old image at all.

It's meant to be a victory screen, why would the Zealot be standing there looking confused rather than celebrating their victory.

I would agree with a few people that the aesthetic matches more SC2, particularly in the face, but otherwise it's what you would expect from a remade element of a game which is almost 20 years old; some of it is going to be changed around. Otherwise it looks solid and respectful of the source material.

The pose pretty much ruins it for me. I am fine with the design of the zealot.

I like that they're putting in details on the armor and stuff (sc2-izing aside). Imo, Protoss designs back in the day were too bland in that department. However what's putting me off is that the original image was meant to give the zealot a mysterious image while the new one is more like "Let's get it on, bitches!" Anyone who's read campaign text should surely know how Blizz always dubbed the Protoss as the enigmatic and calculating race.

It's not anywhere near bad, in fact it's cool. But the vibe it gives off is doesn't fit SC Protoss.

Why does he have his psi blade deployed when the battle's already over and he's back at base? Keep that thing on safety before you put a hole in the hull you very enthusiastic zealot.

Could also use a little more stars to wall ratio.

The Protoss from SC were known to be a warrior race though, not engimatic to the extent they're completely stoic. All the protoss voice lines make me feel that they would totally be down to say "Let's get it on, bitches!" , as they seem to be ones that get totally pumped for glorious battle. They're not beings devoid of emotion.

Sorta feel you guys are taking this too seriously.

Victory screen is like... the new profiles, they have room to update and make changes.. unlike the core gameplay which is to remain unchanged.

So what if the Victory screen is different? Are people also complaining the chat interface is no longer like the old one?

Anyway, good work to the people at Blizzard, no matter what they do, certain people will never be satisfied.


I for one, welcome our new Victory screens.

Long story short: the new zealot has a stupid "murica fuck yeah" look on his face and his psi-blade's activated to add cheap drama and all of it looks pathetic.

Just nostagia.

It affects your judgement more than you think.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

I think it looks pretty great. No idea what the guys talking about it looking too much like sc2 are talking about. It's the original zealot model only in an action pose with more pixels. Maybe "too much like sc2" means not blurry enough? ;-)
