If both of the pictures were put before us as conceptart in 1997, can anyone honestly say that they wouldn't have preferred the remastered one? The only reason to prefer the old screen seems to be our emotional attachment to it.

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.

Let's call these people group 1.
Group 2 are the ones who project their ideas of stereotypical human emotional expression on what is supposed to be an Alien race...

I'm cool with it, though i admit I was never a huge fan of the abdomen of protoss in original SC artwork, It just seemed to slender and frail for a race that fights in melee combat with plasma swords and it was the only unarmored part of them in the art. The in game models were cool but I was not the biggest fan of the way they looked in the cinematics. I just wish they kept more of the bulky armor feel of the original though; that's the thing I don't like about sc2 protoss art. I like the bulkiness of protoss units and structures in bw.

The new zealot is leaning over staring at something

The old one is like half slav squatting on its tippy toes

To sum up the issues for people who do not like it so far:

- Heavily SC2 influence in the look of the Zealot as in:

Shiny Colors [ Even eye colors changed from orange/brown to blue to match that of SC2 Zealot ]
Edgy poses
facial expression [ Don't remember that BW Protoss had facial expressions like angry or afraid or happy. They don't have a mouth so they do not smile or anything. But that doesn't mean their eyes will have any of that facial expression changes. Their face remained at every circumstances whether it was good or bad. As a mystical race, having no facial expression at all suits them better.
armor design change

Did I miss anything?

not only gym, they gave a massive junk to the zealot, look at the old model with detail, there is only legs support, this one basically got an exoskeleton of his own.

This picture looks amazing. Don't say it looks cartoonish. Nothing is 3d in the remastered.

I can't say there is something wrong with the new one but still going for nostalgia.

^ Sorry if I look like stealing your post, just added the old one for comparison.

I like the old one too solely because of the direction the artist took with the style. The new one is nice but the new one in the same direction as the old one would have been da bomb

I think the quality of the art is pretty good.

It seems like at some point they sent a memo to the art team and told them to brighten everything up. The old BW art is all dark and in shadow and the new art all looks like it has studio lighting or something. I don't know if there is a point in complaining about it now but I prefer the darker style to the lighter one.
