The viking changing form right in front of the Ultralisk is so well animated, it blew my mind completly.

Cant the interviewer just read/quote the question after the answer. It is normal thing to do, but not listening to answers and looking 50 times per minute to phone is not.

Other than that, nice very nice coverage TL, liked the cinematic a lot.

People need to remember that this trailer was probably in the works before the new units were finalized.

Yeah, these cinematics take Blizzard and Blur the better part of a year iirc.


I think it was ready long time ago. At least the scene with swarm charging into siege line and one ultralisk getting hit with a volley -

That cinematic alone makes me want to buy HotS just to play the campaign.

Also Wax's first comment had me laughing for a few minutes

Very good coverage! Thanks for such an exclusive scoop TL.net! :D

Even though I have always been a fan of Sarah Kerrigan and her story, this has increased my interest even more. Now I totally can't wait for HotS!

They should seriously consider making a movie. That quality of CGI is just astonishing.

Simply wow.

Ya but the budget and time needed to make a movie is really really high.

Their quality of CGI is really top-notch.
But it is just a 3.00 trailer.

To make a full-fledged SC-based movies would take insane amount of budget and time.

I doubt Blizz would want to invest into movies now.
Though it is up to Activision to decide now.

Ye I know this would need a large amount of money and time, but I think it would be a worthy investment. I really dunno any animated movie, which had this quality and was in this more serious genre (I like those Pixar, Disney and co. movies, too, but I would like to see an animated movie in a serious genre as well). And I think many people, even those who aren't familiar with SC would visit the cinemas for this epic movie.
