Same with the hydralisk, all menacing and snarling. Just keep it simple and let the stylisation speak for the lore dammit I don't see why they wouldn't be triumphant and fist bumping, that completely fits the character. I think people are like projecting their idea of protoss as mindless emotionless husks when that couldn't be further from the truth. | ||

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. I know the quotes but that doesn't need to translate to a weird pose to overtly say "Let's get it on, bitches!" We already know they're ready for glorious death in battle but they don't need to go Hollywood style and further push it up on us. And now that I think about, this is a victory screen. All the victory screens are depicting the race's warrior/s after the battle was won. Now they've changed it to a heroic last moment (i.e. the Zerg one) except the Zealot here looks like he's in his room all alone, doing silly poses. | ||

If you were a zealot on a carrier, a soldier on a ship, and you received news that your faction obtained a decisive victory, I would imagine a huzzah or a hurrah would be completely inappropriate. Comparatively, the BW pose where it just feels like they loaded the model and didnt bother rigging him a posture. I like how someone above described it, it was completely default, not what you would expect from a victory screen. I will concede maybe they didnt go far enough with the liberties, it is silly he's on a ship instead of on a battlefield. | ||

It's a little ridiculous even if a human was doing it, to be honest. I think they could be all of things, but like I've said in th is thread, they're ultimately a warrior race, kicking ass is what their whole shit is about. I think that's reflected in the zealot quotes. "What battle calls?" "My life for Aiur!" "All for the Empire." "Doom to all who threaten the homeworld!" "Honor guide me!" I could totally see these warriors raising their blades after a glorious battle. That's totally in their character. | ||

The new pose looks less more like "huzzah we won!" than "photographer: now do the ready for battle pose." I do concede though that the original pose was what you said. But compare that to the new one, the old pose was more in line with the warrior monk type. | ||

The technology just wasn't there yet to manipulate and render a 3d model! Look at the terran's defeat screen - just loaded a model! Right? | ||

That's completely different than my critique of the Protoss screen where its just the zealot standing there doing nothing. | ||

But seriously, I noticed an artwork style trend difference from the 2010s and the 1990s. In anime, the 1990s to early 2000s they looked more gritty and more realistic, colors were not always so bright or shiny or plastic looking and to me felt more relatable artwork. Now anime artwork is all polished, glazed like barbie dolls and shiny. Same kind of concept here with sc2. Everything is so polished and shiny, for me it detracts and makes it less relatable to me. Call me old fashioned but I am not into lolli artwork or super shiny everything. This plasticky and shiny look is now everywhere. I completely agree with you that it looks extremely odd, not real. It also breaks immersion. And this trend is everywhere in gaming. Recently saw the remake of System Shock and I was so disappointed to see that go for all this glitter... Same here... | ||
