Same with the hydralisk, all menacing and snarling. Just keep it simple and let the stylisation speak for the lore dammit Actually it's my opinion too. The original art looked a little more alien and remote. They're telepathy after all, so they can communicate their emotions directly  They have no need for our pathetic human facial expressions.It's just a victory screen though. They probably went through some testing and found people related to and became more attached to anthropomorphized features, and that some people were too grossed out by his weird horrible fingers. That wouldn't be a problem if they were the bad guys, but we have to play as them, so they want them all to be easy to understand. But I do think one of the notes the original hit was how really different it felt to play the other races, how unfamiliar their mechanics were. You really feel like the alien when you play Zerg, throwing away fragile masses to claw apart the enemy. Playing the bad guys can be fun. | ||

The Terran one is fine, great even. If I were playing Protoss, that victory screen would make me want to loose. But 'roids will do that to telepathic aliens. One day it's all "I am one with the kala, but it's beach season and I need to muscle up" next it's protein shakes, date rape and a citation for assault for what you did to that Jehovah's witness that knocked when you couldn't find the remote. | ||

Compare the zerglings art in the book, to the 3d model, to the in-game portrait to the opening sequence in BW where they look like mini-hydras. People are upset about an update in a victory screen? If anything, Blizzard has unified their art direction in the starcraft universe. who's upset? | ||

I don't want to say much more. The new terran victory screen simply looks great. Both old and new have somewhat distinct directions but both are equally good! | ||

I do enjoy the actual model though, I would have both his blades out and maybe have his armor a little battle scared, similar to the new Artanis skin in HOTS 2.0 with the Zeratul blade. Overall, it is a definite improvement. | ||
